Lyrics
One night in a bar...
Somewhere between the fourth and fifth pitcher
lost my internal picture of what I thought was bigger
then life, now I write what needs to be said
fed my ego the wrong shit, it turned up dead
now my head's full of images I can't control
want to hold someone but can't handle the load
plus exploded dreams of walking hand in hand into sunsets
replaced by thoughts of all the things I ain't done yet
all in all y'all never keep your promise
so I'll stick to my guns and stay brutally honest
and you might not like what you got in your life
but that's no kind of reason for leaving the fight
if revolution's the solution what's the question
cause I've been pondering action but I'm still stuck guessing
tested my boundaries and finally concluded
there ain't one thing in life that would hurt if I lose it
somewhere along the line something broke in me
and I don't even want to fix it, I just want to be free
if I had a car I'd drive it off of the road
and let it sit in a ditch until the body corrodes
and I suck at cards cause I keep trying to fold (I'm out)
before the dealer sits down and gives me something to hold
so throw your hands in the air, let me see that you care
bare your soul to the music, we ain't going nowhere
Bar stool confessions, sit back and listen
put your hand on my spine, put your ear to my mind
let go of the time, let's escape this prison
resign our affections, bar stool confessions
Haven't forgotten the good times, I welcome them with open arms
broken charms provoke these words trying to bind two hoping hearts
disengage reactions, entrapment strangles me down to reality
intoxicants calm my nerves while killing brain cells, living a fantasy
suppress the anger, keep to my fucking self, talk only to close friends
while your at the studio playing dress up, living out life on posed sets
it's closed bets and y'all arriving ten minuets too late
broke, smoke cigarette butts out the ashtray, and fuck fate it's two-faced
who's race is it to run? follow your dreams right up to the sun
I started out with heart, patterning vocals over the drums
as far as your rhymes, they're a waste of dead trees
wasted studio time, airplay, and manufactured CDs
but it's cool, keep on venting, keep on whining, keep on crying
keep on battling yourself in the mirror, entertaining reflections by freestyling
I'll be smiling over here with forties of beer and freshly rolled joints
eating grapes with bitches on skates acting how I rap, with no fucking point
fuck the party, I've rocked it, the cops had to come and stop it
cause hella fellows be getting jealous when I step up to the mic and pop shit
stress, anger, depression, drugs, worries, and vision that's how I'm living
my attention span is limited so I leave every stone unvisited
leave headphone's solicited, making every listener submit to it
eradicated invalid, validating the mic now enjoy getting hit with it
Bar stool confessions, sit back and listen
put your hand on my spine, put your ear to my mind
let go of the time, let's escape this prison
resign our affections, bar stool confessions
I've painted the fairytale, reenacted these fucked up rituals
sat with my drink, wondering with a grin if you want me to visit you
everyone else don't matter, I've wasted all of my energy
take a sip, close your eyes, face the speaker, and vision our chemistry
and hope you remember me, so maybe one day when I run into you
you'll reminisce as you pass me on the street how much I still get to you
the sky has been gray for days but weather changes track so quickly
and the more you scratch the spider bites the more they'll keep on itching
the more you all keep bitching, dismissing ideas you continue with failure
evil takes me where I'm headed, marijuana just calms my behavior
no one's truly happy, I live that lie too, it's not just you
but fuck it, get a buzz and relax, face facts it'll be over soon
for now everyone get violent, initiate riots when in the mosh pit
I got close enemies in the crowd snatching chains to exchange them for profit
lost religion in a bottle but found my reflection
moving towards the finish line but I ain't really pressing
hold tight to opinion when the room starts spinning
so I usually miss the whole lesson I'm learning
and I really don't care as much as I should
and I'll always be labeled as up to no good
if I could turn around I don't think that I would
cause I'm happy being nothing but misunderstood
if I ever was in love sorry girl, I must have missed it
worst thing to happen to you since you came to this planet?
won't acknowledge the award, ditch precessions to the podium
already out the door trying to out-run the boredom
