What I Do Best

Well, I fucked up
It's what I do best
Is it the size of the challenge
Or the length of the test
Or was I set up?
Is this just what I do?
Is it so wrong to live on the edge
Walking the tight rope just seconds from death
And I'm a wild card
This wild card gotta prove
What he was born to do
Say hello to the brand new star
An act you must behold
It'll be a spectacle
Lights, camera, action!
Watch me try my luck
Pa Pa Pa-Pa-Pa-Da Pa
But why do I still fall
Right when I get to the top?
'Cause I pray for my father
I'm seeing his ghost
It's a haunting reminder of where I've gone wrong
If there's a god to be witness I want him to know
The battle's over, but I'll win this war
So I'm fucked up, but still I am blessed
I got my friends, my family, and health
And I'll make it if it's the last thing that I do
What I'll die to prove
Say hello to the brand new star
An act you must behold
It'll be a spectacle
Lights, camera, action!
Watch me try my luck
Pa Pa Pa-Pa-Pa-Da Pa
But why do I still fall?
God damn it won't you
Watch me best my luck
Pa Pa Pa-Pa-Pa-Da Pa
Cause this star won't fall
Right when it gets to the top
Now you got what you wanted
Now everyone's watching
Boy you better give them a show!

Cause and Effect
04:24

Victims of pure euphoria
Succumb to paranoia
They got everything you need
Sex, drugs, celebrities
Say hey! Hey! Hey!
I gotta get this off my chest
We were born to live and breathe
But I'm choking on advertisements
Save your applause (Save your applause)
For thinking that fame will solve problems
Well, maybe you're already lost
Effect to the cause (Effect to the cause)
Of having your faith in no purpose
Well, maybe you're already lost!
A gear in the machine
They'll find a roll that fits
Nothing is the way it seems
A nightmare in a dream
Say hey! Hey! Hey!
I've gotta get this off my chest
'Cause we were born to work and die
But I'm sticking to living instead
Save your applause (Save your applause)
For thinking that money solves problems
Well, maybe you're already lost
Effect to the cause (Effect to the cause)
Of having your faith in no purpose
Well, maybe you're already lost
This future is all that we got
Somehow, it bothers you none!
Wake up!
Don't you know that there's a secret
And I'm hoping that I find it
When I find it I won't keep it
So just wake up!
Don't you know that you've been sleeping
This nightmare is over
You just have to open your eyes
So save your applause (Save your applause)
For thinking that they'll solve your problems
Well, maybe you're already lost
Effect and the cause (Effect to the cause)
Of having your faith in no purpose
Well, fuck it!
You're already lost!

Warrior Poet

Warrior poet
Go and ink your sword
Add literacy to every blow
But your similes are still unknown
Reluctant leader (Reluctant leader)
Sway them with your words
That there's a way off of this world
Convince them that you know the way for sure
If you don't nobody will!
You been killing to cross this off your list
You love how it feels!
Becoming something that they can't resist
Your taste for the thrill!
Its starting something you must persist
Plus, when was the last time that you got blood on your hands?
And you can see them coming
Your components that could create a moment
The blurred image of my minds intent
Your eyes repel when I display that
We're no different
Other than the distance
That they built between us
Their fabricated lines!
As I walk through this dance floor of fate
I find myself not wanting to partake in the entertainment
I can sense there's been some foul play
It's gone unnoticed
But we're dancing to a beat that doesn't seem to end
No!
Here they come!
Don't you see them with their pen and paper!?
Trying to buy my name and sell my soul
Tailored suits, fancy cars, and a job you need them
I just want a life that's filled with love!
Here they come! Don't you see them? Am I going crazy!?
You're just victims of their mind control!
Here I go. Here I go! I don't need them. I don't!
Cause I'm a warrior and a poet
Writing words and fighting for them
They won't have a peace of my soul!

Darling, you fed then you left me for stranded
In webs of the traps that you planted
Your venomous touch had me fooled
I'm in love, but now I'm free again
But now I am free again!
The worst part is (The worst part is)
How...
You love me just the same!
I stand up just to fall back down
These walls are filled with ghosts
And I still hear the echo from
Your voice embedded in my head (in my head)
You left me just the same
Sugar (sugar)
The stars don't revolve around where you are (where you are)
You don't hold my heart in your two hands (your two hands)
Your murderous grip had me fighting to live
But now I'm free again!
And now I am free again!
The worst part is (The worst part is!)
Oh, the worst part is (Yeah, the worst part is!)
How...you left
You better face the facts
That I'm never crawling back to your web again
Now the poison in my veins subside
You love me just the same!
I stand up just to fall back down
These walls are filled with ghosts
And I still hear the echo from
Your voice embedded in my head
You love me just the same!
I stand up just to fall back down!
These walls are filled with ghosts
And I still hear the echo from
Your voice embedded in my head (In my head)
You left me just the same!
These walls are filled with ghosts
And I still hear the echo from
Your voice embedded in my head (In my head)
You left me just the same!
You love me (You left me!)
You love me (You left me!)
You left me just the same!

Tidal Wave

If only I could make you see
I do it like its never been done before
I'm saying things that they haven't preached
From the bottom of my heart and every limb between
I get this feeling that I've upset you
That something wasn't clear
In my tone, In my speech, but I digress
Rearrange the words that might ignite some hope
Show them just what I'm made of
A rebel soul
An awkward voice with motivation
I hear the tapping of feet
Just when I thought I was done for
And suddenly they started to sing
The words from my mouth and dancing to the beat
If you've ever felt like you've been labeled an outcast and a freak
let it go, join right in
You just dream
That you're the tidal wave that's made its way to shore
Show them just what you're made of
And they will run
As you destroy with aspiration
You seem so sure I'm wasting my talents
Go back to school
Maybe you'll be better there
With the cruel, privileged degenerates
So what now?
I'll use my talents
What will you do?
Try and inspire them
Even us fools have a trick up our sleeves
Where am I now I've lost my way
I keep reverting to this state of repetition
And I can't seem to ever break the chains
And If I make it out alive
I'll make you proud by building monuments
And if I die, my last breath will be whispering your name
As if I'd ever speak the phrase
'Till then we'll be okay
So go show them just what we're made of
With no remorse!
Whoa show them just what we're made of
With no remorse
We'll destroy with aspiration
With aspiration!

Self-fulfilling Man

I found out the house around me
Is built out of faith in deceit
And these walls they don't come for cheap
So strange to strangers near home
Ideally convenient to some
But I know I won't join the herd
In single file rows
Dear child, you said you wanted proof
A page has been torn out of the history books
You think that we'd just give this truth to you?
It's easier not to
Instead you live your life on someone else's time
It's degrading my soul and wasting my mind
Sometimes I feel like I'll explode
And fall apart become someone I don't know
And spare me from, just spare me from your hold
And with a little more air then surely I'd become
Into someone I could at least stand
A self-fulfilling man
Oh, no! I think I can! I think I can!
But sometimes I feel like I won't
When it rains, it pours!
You won't even see where it came from
The eye of the storm shakes you down to your bones
When it rains, it pours!
You won't even see where it came from
The eye of the storm shakes you down to your bones
Down to your bones!
There are moments I feel hopeless
Like my window is getting smaller with each day
I count the seconds out of frame
What am I thinking?
I can do better
No way that they will bury me
I'm climbing out this grave and straight towards destiny
What was I thinking!?
I can do better!
No way that they will bury me! Oh!
Even if I feel like I'll explode
and fall apart become someone I don't know!
And spare me from! Just spare me from your choke!
With a little more air then surely I'd become
Into someone I could at least stand
A self-fulfilling man
Oh, no! I think I can! I know I can!
And even when I'm told I won't!
Even when I'm told...
Told that I won't!
