Who You Are

Who You Are

Come to send, not condescend.
Transcendental consequence is
To transcend where we are.
Who are we? Who we are.

Trampled moss on your souls.
Changes all...you're a part.
Seen it all, not at all.
Can't defend fucked up men.

Take me for a ride before we leave...

Circumstance...clapping hands.
Driving winds...happenstance.
Off the track, in the mud,
Past the moss in the aforementioned verse.

And a little...

Just a little time before we leave.

Stop light plays its part,
So I would say you've got a part.
What's your part? Who you are.
You are who, who you are.

Habit

See it happen to a couple of friends.
Seen it happen and the message it sends.
Taking off for what's an obvious fall,
Just to see what all the fuss is about.

It's not your way. Not your way. It's not your way.

Another habit says it's in love with you.
Another habit says it's long overdue.
Another habit like an unwanted friend.
I'm so happy with my righteous self.

It's not your way. Not your way. It's not your way.

Never thought you'd habit.
Speaking as a child of the 90's...
Never thought you'd habit.

Never me. Never you. Never me.

Hail, Hail
Hail, Hail||Black, Red, Yellow


Hail, Hail

Is there room for both of us? Both of us apart?
Are we bound out of obligation? Is that all we've got?
I get the words and then I get to thinking.
I don't want to think, I want to feel.
And how do I feel? How do I...

If you're the only one will I never be enough?
Hail hail the lucky ones, I refer to those in love.

I swore I'd love you 'til the day I die...and beyond.
Are we going to the same place? If so, can I come?
It's egg rolling thick and heavy. All the past we carry.
I could be new. You underestimate me.

If you're the only one will I never be enough?
Hail hail the lucky ones, I refer to those in love.

I sometimes realize I could only be as good as you'll let me.
Are you woman enough to be my man? Bandaged hand in hand.

Like I'm the only one in a race that can't be won.
All hail the lucky ones, I refer to those in love. Yeah.
If you're my only one...so good, you only one.
I want to be your one. Enough...you won...your one...your one.

Black, Red, Yellow

Exponentially servin'...perpetually unnervin'...
Vehicles swervin'...
The adjectives, they are all a blurrin'...
Freud walkin' the sidelines.
Clipboard...score on the brain.
Black magic, painted trees... makes me sane.

Hormones firin' like a fifty foot Rodman.
Please don't make me explain. Don't matter anyway.

Phontom pain in my brain,
It's all that's left of my leg.
Black and red and yellow...
Black and red and yellow...
Heard you repeat what you heard.
Me knowin' the truth, I cannot concur.

Hormones firin' like a fifty foot Rodman.
Please don't make me explain, doesn't matter anyway.
Hormones firin' like a fifty foot Rodman.
Please don't make me explain...

Dennis Rodman:
(Yo bro what's happenin'... what's happenin'...
I'm on the west, west side of, on the west coast.
Give me a jingle when you get in... wherever the fuck you at...)

Hormones firin' like a fifty foot Rodman.
Please don't make me explain. Doesn't fuckin' matter anyway.
Hormones firin' like a fifty foot Rodman.
Please don't make me explain...

Off He Goes
Off He Goes ||Dead Man

Off He Goes

(One two...One two...)

Know a man. His face seemed pulled and tense.
Like he's riding on a motorbike in the strongest winds.
So I approach with tact. Suggest that he should relax.
But he's always moving much too fast.

Said he'll see me on the flipside of this trip he's taking for a ride.
He's been taking too much on.
There he goes with his perfectly unkempt clothes...there he goes

He's yet to come back...but I've seen his picture.
It doesn't look the same up on the rack.
We go way back.

I wonder about his insides.
It's like his thoughts are too big for his size.
He's been taken where I don't know.
Off he goes with his perfectly unkept hope.
There he goes.

And now I rub my eyes, for he has returned.
Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned.
For he still smiles, and he's still strong.
Nothing's changed but the surrounding bullshit that has grown.

And now he's home and we're laughing
Like we always did my same old, same old friend.
Until a quarter to ten...I saw the strain creep in.
He seems distracted and I know just what is going to happen next.

Before his first step, he is off again.

Dead Man

The settling of my every step...
Inching off of the earth...
Is magnified by the things I've done,
The thing that I've become.

Every lift of my hand...
Coffee cup, up and back...
Is magnified by the things I've done,
The things I've seen, the things I've caused...

I'm a dead man walking.

The hammer that I once brought down
Now hovers over me...
Casts a shadow...a cross unto me.

The hallways are all mocking me...
What I've become... they're all mocking me...

I'm a dead man walking.
