    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
