	Story Behind the Song one take, one track garage session Lyrics i stand eyes fixed on everything, and nothing my jaw slowly tightening while clenching my fist trying to resist that little voice inside my head that seems to think that taking my life is somehow a good notion but i motion for a recess i'm depressed and down somewhere in-between a smile and a frown drown my sorrows in dope beats and dank smoke never losing hope, but often lacking motivation swimming in stagnation mind clouded by doubt and hesitation questioning my destination and my station in life tired of all the bullshit tired of all the politics tired of being stepped on and feeling like a little shit man, i'm just tired waiting to be inspired waiting for the muse to show her pretty face and put me in a pretty place instead of this shitty space i'm currently in my patience wearing thin i mean, just because i look okay doesn't mean i'm not depressed just because i've dropped exstacy it doesn't leave me happiness and just because i know the answers doesn't mean i'll pass your silly ass test and like i said before i'm tired can i get some rest? well, call it evolution or maybe just progress when i'm not asking a girl for her number, but her e-mail address i guess time's are changing the world's still strange and people are even stranger and complete strangers are sometimes more affectionate than loved ones turned indifferent but in a different time in a different place in a different world in a different case maybe things could be different and you could erase all those decisions that you made in haste or those days you did nothing and let go to waste or when you ran from the music, instead of standing to face but enough with the semantics suffice to say in certain circumstances, it seems i am stereotypical but that's typical, and typically it tickles me, to think of me the way i know people are perceiving me but much love to my friends for believing in me and love to the shadow, even though she left me 'cause presently, i'm loving life, this world and everything in it though things are either in a state of shit going to shit, or not going to amount to shit but shit, it's all i've got and all i've fought for all my life and yeah, i've been through pain and strife and yeah, i've almost used the knife but i've been growning, though not much vertically but in knowledge and understanding and i guess in the end, that's really all that matters.
