lyrics

This is for people who set their own traps up/ this is for people who never shut their traps up/ this is for people who snatch up/ the weak minded bad luck/ down and out believers of any story you hatched up/ cause I can take it way deeper than all this rap stuff/ and I can leave your whole belief system smashed up/ so you can judge/ and I won't budge just acknowledge that I won until the day you meet your master/ natural selection it reigns supreme/ and there is not a thing that you could say to change the way I think/ stubborn cause I'm loving the way that I make believe/ running trains on the same wavelength that sank the seas/ so subtly I'm running these fundies straight out the scene/ so you can love me cause I'm the only one saying what you scream/ so hopefully my poetry's not labeled as obscene/ cause I'm the only one that's trying to blow some smoke through the screens/ no chance at getting me down to count all the sheep so I'll keep my vices discreet while trying to find some sleep yo/ hitting all my free throws and sniping on the breakaway/ coming up on some clean clothes defending what you claim to say/ nothing is sacred hope you escape where I've been aiming at/ once destruction's been done there's nothing more to say to that/ hope you make it back/ cause your far from where you need to be/ worried about believing and ignoring what you seem to see/ I'll take the suns word over your sons word/ shining bright enough to leave you with a sunburn/ and if it's unturned realized that it's absurd/ trying to break it down and out while your mother's stuck on all the uppers/ saying one word/ over and over trying to rhyme/ so my life is something I'm starting over trying to climb/ and since time is close to over/ I've got to try to either do something with my life just keep living a lie

chorus

I'll take the high road/ you take the high hopes/ finding balance like I've been walking on tight ropes/ with my eyes closed/ I'll make the sky float/ so you can live fast knowing that you'll die slow/

It's that life's never complete without/ feeling that I speak about/ that deep in your chest sense/ that this could really bring it down/ I've been out a few times while trying to break in/ but couldn't feel comfortable while wearing the same skin/ the same spin just different motivations/ and many different ways to upgrade the situation/ opposite operations/ but facing the same set of obligations/ complicated cause the anger stays lost in observation/ explain the future without using constellations/ but the sacred praise that's painless doesn't please the congregation/ I live my life like this/because it's what you make it/ I stay repeating these phrases until you know my mission statement/ it's hard to prey on patience while they wait to be mistaken/ so try to stay awake and never cave to their persuasions/ presumptuous and immune to conversations/ one way no one's listening to what your saying/
