I need to find a solution
cause this institution has got me delusional
LARPing no choosing it
scarfing down booze with no lace in my shoes
there's a race and I'm losing it
first place an illusion I'm facing the music it's basically full of shit
and if I sound cool again
I'm making some friends and I'm shaking the stands like a hooligan
I'm heavily set in the melody, entrenched with best of the the sentiments
and requests that you're sending me, a pirate like Bellamy,
beset by your treachery, open and seen that I'm hopingly seized by the throat and thrown in the open sea, like my flowing soliloquy, slowly it's killing me
I know that you're feeling me, climbing a hill, no matter the cost
ain't got time travel or dinosaurs, but it's the Land of the Lost,
today, get up like souffle, but I'm flattened and tossed,
the constant touche', two can play, that game, Scrabble or Pogs
now unscramble your hogs, intercepting a threat from the depths of your mind, a battling cause, I'll settle for pedals, nettles, and pines
a radical boss, stressing the steps to the wealth of the mind, I'll ramble and pause- why?
I need to find a solution
cause this institution has got me delusional
LARPing no choosing it
scarfing down booze with no lace in my shoes
there's a race and I'm losing it

and if I sound cool again

Waiwaiwaiwaiwaiwaiwait you're telling that playing all of these rap shows isn't fulfilling my destiny totally as humanity's last hope?
well, that blows, I've been grinding, mostly teeth though,
how else you expect me to get free but a free fall and a free throw?
I call the shots collect and respect it when they don't pick up,
I probably don't help by talking about myself this much, overthinking
like more than enough to know we're sinking, stop
I don't wanna think, I just wanna rap, I'd like to laugh but I'm not
picking up the good vibrations past their expiration date
but there's hope, they say, just raise the next with lower expectations, great, I need a solution, and liquor...technically is one
like check the definition get religion give a fist bump fuck it
I'm a donkey on the cutting edge with a lovely set of nothing said
as the planet fills with dumping grounds it fucks around my grumpy head
and all of the pressing problems today were cliches by 1996
we've spent most of the time since then deciding on how we're actually fine with it
and it's not like we're all powerless, or there haven't been any victories
but my attention span caps at an hourish, and most of my songs are about how they aren't listening
like I'm even saying much except that we're all maybe fucked like that wasn't already plain enough

why don't I let go
slime like a gecko
stuck like a LEGO
caged like in PETCO
caged like in PETCO
why don't I let go
stuck like a LEGO
caged like in PETCO

BT
wearing goggles through a nebula, it's so large and in charge pardon the part where it's marginalizing retinas, it's bending ya, gravity sat on me twisted my sanity planned on catastrophe asteroids catching me, ranaway stamina, snapping pixelated debated captures on camera
but you waited actuated when the hammer falls, you stammer and clamor you're banned from the family like Tommy & Pamela
let's go back to the beginning, oh, wait, we're still at the start
what happened fifteen billion years ago remains in my heart
the big bang persevered to the end in fact the universe is know to expand
until we're all good and dead in ways we can't even understand
so the planet could break in half, and we could all die, and the galaxy wouldn't even bat an eye
Earth could say bye, we could all die, not even the sun would bat an eye
but what makes us think worthy of existence, monkeys with egos, we're going the distance
Sun could go go cold, we could all die, not even the galaxy would bat an eye
so what makes us think we're worthy of existence, fleshy bacteria we're going the distance
D
I learned this neat trick recently that I really like to play, where I just won't look up at the sky till I feel significant in a meaningful way, I'm keeping at bay, all of the bad thoughts
I stay out of the woods because this wolf evolved to lap dog, blast off
until the planet's not a backdrop, more a bit of background music in a vast fog
go back and try to find a little meaning at your whack job, or in rap songs, see if it lasts long
half gone, more convinced never was here, honestly, mostly harmless like a starfish not a target a casualty you'd never notice when you're casually demolishing, and it's all so brief
there's no approaching logically, come on and walk with me
we could go the vast vast distance, your mama warned you bout me I'm a bad snap instance
with a last sad gimmick it's a Small Small World
that fell apart because we were too far apart to spur change, it ends
not with a whimper but a kerbang
bad end to a good game that was truly worth playing
BT

Car Ride

BT
take me along for the car ride
you need a cycle to get stronger when a star dies
like Pharcyde, on a Bizarre Ride
it's our ride, it's all right
D
help me help you, then help me, I'll help
I've never met someone that doesn't wish that's how we all felt, publicly, plus
everybody's had enough of suffering, so we just give the stuff away
but hey, that's another thing
BT
one thing, that's amazing, what brings us together is debating
use each other, not as a step but as a building block
foundations finish for pinnacles and a will to stop
D
yes, motherfucker, everybody gets a trophy
it's really hard to keep on running at a slow speed
it really provokes me that folks need groceries and don't eat
how is that fucking controversial
BT
universal curse reversal, entropy
a moping atrophy going no speed on no sleep
a ghost being told he's gotta scare people
be aware of the despair he cares when he coaxes evil
D
dust in the wind, and the wind doesn't matter either
still, it really isn't all that bad to be nice, right?
hindsight except now, and is it all that hard to guess
if your dreams aren't farfetched throw a little harder next time
BT
take me along for the car ride
you need a cycle to get stronger when a star dies
like Pharcyde, on a Bizarre Ride
it's our ride, it's all right
Engines may fall, and gather rust
it's a bust throw the dishes in the bus tub
washers ride the bus without receiving much love
D
I'm not an optimist, but if you look at the option list
it's like "Doom" three times and "Rise up as a populace"
all of the bitterness ignorance cynics limits and differences
I don't have a specific thought but there's a lot and it itcheses
BT
what worth is this purpose this service to the pubic
should I cave in, embrace it, or face in and null it
should I try to help everyone or just the people I know
a plant grows from a seed, not just the ones that I sow
D
so
far be it for me to say, without sounding like a PSA
do what you can where needed and I think that that would be OK
it isn't simple, but that's not why we overcomplicate it
and rationalize lies like we never gotta face it
BT
actually impact, inaccurate mismatch, and tactfully dispatch, a path to which get back
becoming attached to crappy factory knickknacks,
the last of my wish had a passionate mishap
D
gift wrapped, masterfully, it's that, catastrophe
that you have to rapidly pick at, gradually
happening? shit yeah, but not enough
there's lots of stuff, in fact, maybe infinite
who gives a shit, can I kick at it?
BT
take me along for the car ride
you need a cycle to get stronger when a star dies
like Pharcyde, on a Bizarre Ride
it's our ride, it's all right
