Assassinate your past throw it off the overpass and ignore your future The present is so much better with you here Climb down off your crosses cut your ties and cut your losses If I might be so bold let go of all you hold All you want and all you lust one day will all just turn to dust You wasted all this time as a cog on a production line I don't mean to judge god knows I've spilled some blood Invading sovereign nations in the name of immoderation But I've shed my skin slithered out to begin again Modify the mindset leeches on to begin the bloodlet My heroes said, be the martyr These days, I just want to be smarter Raised fists and raised glasses Turns out we just looked like asses Slow down don't get faster And cheer up you sad bastard Hardly any reason to suffer Hiding under bed covers The past is gone, don't repent Search out some detachment Heartache comes from holding on Let the universe lead you along It's easy Why do you make it so hard? It's easy You should just follow your heart Is life that hard? I'm not so sure The beat may be dirty, but the song is pure Yin or yang, cancer, cure You know you're in deep when the lines are blurred

I don't think we can be friends anymore I spent too many mornings on the bathroom floor Spent one too many days consumed by your ways I don't think we can be friends anymore I don't think we can be friends anymore I can hear your whisper through the bedroom door You talk behind my back but you ain't saying jack And I don't think we can be friends anymore I don't think we can be friends anymore I'm trying to grow but you won't let go I thought you were truth but you just gave me the blues And I don't think we can be friends anymore We got mutual friends we got memories galore We got times we were saints but more times we were whores I got aches in my bones, but really what for? I don't think we can be friends anymore High life bottles getting tossed at the side of train Good friend rotting in the southwest lost his battle with pain These bottles used to rise like we'd never put them down I didn't know you'd be the one to drown Leave me alone I never thought it would end this way I can feel the pain disseminate

Home 03:55
People say the world is an ugly place That's why I always look within Last place in the human race That's where I will begin I'll find my way home You know I will Like a frozen homeless man, my soul departs for the promised land Is it heaven or just a hologram? Master won't reveal the master's plan I am far from finished I have just begun I am the royal mouthpiece I am the god of son I am the olive branch and I am the gun We are all made of stars and you are closest one

Yellow station here we come Don't you know that it's been fun Turn to see the pathways we've been on I don't like the games you play But I love you anyway Turn to see the TV staring back at me Life feels like a music class One that I could never pass Turn to see my guitar with its broken string All the letters we would write A thinly veiled full out fight Turn to see my thoughts as they fall from the page I would scream, no one would hear Watch them all swallowed by fear Turn to see my friends as they all disappear Fifty-fifty everyone Looks like we might be done Turn to see your ghost closing in on me
