A history of stillness, a blood-line of mental illness
|
I'd rather be a fraud and be happy than be known as the realest
|
till the same dark day for my mother and my mother's mother
|
and Brooks; I can't get out of bed but I can write hooks
|
wife's a maniac but she's the only one that's still around
|
three in the afternoon on the sunny day layin' on the ground
|
I want to feel the way I felt when I was layin' with my dad
|
but I don't know if I want it that bad
|
I think about what I don't have
|
five days a week sad, other two just mad
|
six in the mornin' in the back of a cab
|
and I don't know if I want it that bad
|
It ain't non-stop to heaven there's a lay-over in hell
|
and I've been sittin' here for ten years talkin' and sayin' on the cell
|
you gotta be kiddin' me, I ain't signed up for this
|
and you wonder why Steaknife got scars on his wrist's
|
My heart got a black eye
|
sometime I get scared that I might cry
|
why do I pretend that I'm not shy
|
sometime all I can do is just stay high
|
I think about what I don't have
|
five days a week sad, other two just mad
|
six in the mornin' in the back of a cab
|
and I don't know if I want it that bad
|
what I've lost and what I've seen
|
all in order to fulfill my dreams
|
thought I had to be like my dad
|
but I don't know if I want it that bad
|
Water-fountains to the sidewalk, talk
|
can¡¯t to myself but I can't stop
|
the up and down and up and down, smilin' to a frown
|
town to town, same scenery, same sound
|
don¡¯t my know skank when I wake so I sleep late
|
everywhere I go I¡¯m still there I can¡¯t shake
|
me and my mind L.I. Ice Teas and
|
three or four lines and now I¡¯m fine
|
maybe not
|
my head in my hands again
|
you know where I¡¯ve been
|
my head in my hands again
|
my head in my hands again
|
you know where I¡¯ve been
|
my head in my hands again
|
my head in my hands again
|
do you know where I¡¯ve been
|
I think about what I don't have
|
five days a week sad, other two just mad
|
six in the mornin' in the back of a cab
|
and I don't know if I want it that bad
|
Sun comin¡¯ up and I need some sleep
|
Eyes are red and I¡¯m feeling weak
|
I can out do you and I can out do me
|
But all that I really want is peace
|
what I've lost and what I've seen
|
all in order to fulfill my dreams
|
thought I had to be like my dad
|
but I don't know if I want it that bad
|
but I don't know if I want it that bad
|
my head in my hands again
|
my head in my hands again
|
