A fight an act of aggression a release of anger.An elevated level of testosterone made me lose my temper.Something strange – a change a chemical reaction begins to occur.Trying my best to keep the birds in the nest and suppress this powerful urge.Yo – I cant believe Im in a fight.I dont know whats come over me – not to be trusted after tonight.It has to be impossible to reason with Crystal Meth.A fucked up attitude and no apparent fear of death.But of course its a no win situation – they took me to jail.Sorry I cant hang around – cause the boys come and spring me out on bail.Yo – I cant believe Im in a fight.I dont know whats come over me – not to be trusted after tonight.But of course its a no win situation – they took em to jail.Sorry I cant hang around cause the boys come and spring me out on bail.Police steady askin – Who did the bustin?Police steady askin – Who did the bustin?Police steady askin – Who did the fucking bustin?Sorry yall cause we didnt even get to play in the show.The entertainment was out on the pavement – Do-si-Do!Farewell San Luis maybe well see you next time.Well get to hang with you the beloved Blue and the crystal Meth head swine.Yo – I cant believe Im in a fight.I dont know whats come over me – not to be trusted after tonight.

A good day gone bad something thats gone out of control.If she only knew that I wear a tattoo a latter if you will still.A rain cloud looming assuming to knock me down.I forgot the words to my apology just to say Im sorry.Looking forward maybe I can see.In the future theres forgiveness for me.A character in a daytime soap acting obscenely.Dramatized it seems in high hopes praying that your conscience comes clean.A rain cloud looming assuming to batter me down.I forgot the words to my apology just to say Im sorry.Looking forward maybe I can see.In the future theres forgiveness for me.I confess under duress.Condemning faces looking up at me.A real hanging by my peers.Payment for crimes of impurities enjoying the spectacle thats made of me.I forgot the words to my apology just to say Im sorry.Looking forward maybe I can see.In the future theres forgiveness for me.

Well open your eyes and look into mine.Do I remember you ofsomeone else still?If thats the case well you really dont know me then let me begin.Im five foot six with dark skin like an onyx.A beautiful beautiful trait thats been coded in the double helix.Big fat dreads but Im not a Rastafarian – never eat the flesh a vegetarian.Not to be mistaken for anyone else – take a look at my face take a look at my face.Not to be mistaken just take a good look – remember remember.Oooh open your eyes.Just outta nowhere after a show in Chicago I had been cast into this one mans play.I used to drive blue van date a girl named Claire and we used to hang out back in the day.But thats okay because I wish I knew the girl named Claire.But I probably wouldnt hang with you Holmes anyway.The stranger was cool he let me sleep on his couch and give his roommate something to talk about.Not to be mistaken for anyone else – take a look at my face take a look at my face.Not to be mistaken just take a good look – remember remember.This will be my chance to make a fuss – about something that happens to most of us.Trying my best to be discreet...but I cant do Fuck it!Oooh open your eyes.Now that we got this chance to communicate its time to set the whole thing straight cause I am what I am Damn!SO if you understand put this shit behind and get on with the jam.Not to be mistaken for anyone else – take a look at my face take a look at my face.Not to be mistaken just take a good look – remember remember.

I was trying to keep my head above gravity was pulling me down.Its been driving me mad expectation was all I had.Wasnt supposed to turn out this way.Maybe you could tell me if its true – have I lost my head tripping over you?I even tried to lie but the lie already died no matter how hard I try.Im going down Im going mad Im going down.I dont know where all the time went. I cant remember when I began my descent.A thousand words that it would take before wed know that its too late.I should have seen it coming miles away.Contrary to this we said sometime ago if wed be together we should take it slow.Something vital slipped my mind.Lost it in a glass of wine.I was slowly drinking down my steady decline.Imd going down Im going mad Im going down.Its too late I lost my chance.Im losing Im losing.If youd left Id live three words.Im going...Im going down Im going mad Im going down going down.

Turning turning I’m having trouble sleeping.Stirring wheezing I’m having problems breathing.Awake in the middle of the night a silence so profound.Shadows cast by headlight pouring in from all around.After I’m finished counting sheep I’m praying for rain.Maybe I’ll finally get some sleep praying for rain.Stirring stirring eyes glued to the TV screenCursing searching for something I havent seen.I should be resting but it doesn’t seem that late.Is there something I can take because I’m tired of being awake.After I’m finished counting sheep I’m praying for rain.Maybe I’ll finally get some sleepI want someone to play to me the sound of going crazy.I want someone to play to me the sound of going crazy.I want someone to play to me the sound of going crazy.I want someone to play to me…Yawning drifting almost cursing daylight.Dreaming dreaming welcome the incoming tide.I guess it’s about that time; 5 o’clock in the morning.Thank God for the waters the waters of the rain.After I’m finished counting sheep I’m praying for rain.Maybe I’ll finally get some sleep praying for rain.

Suddenly all I neededSilently flowed through these eyesCrystallized on silken canvasVisual dreams in timeIm attracting only that whichClearly stands to elevateGiven to my life this priveledgeThe keys to see this gateless gateAnd if I tried to help youWould you let me in?Only love brings me loveIn each life the power toRealize any dreamStanding for beliefs of freedomAccepting all the self can beAnd if I tried to help youWould you let me in?Only love brings me love...

You and I must find one anotherYou and I must grow togetherYou and I must learn to be brave and love againYou and I must reach insideYou and I just cant relyOn old and worn out ways of finding loveYou and I believe in better waysYou and I cant listen to what they sayYou and I...If you and I cant find me anotherThen you and I will endlessly wanderTurning away watching frozen dreamsIf you and I cant touch me anotherIf you and I cant hold this togetherThen you and I miss the reason for being hereYou and I...You and I sit here waiting in anticipationYou and I believe theres no more need for hesitationYou and I believe in better ways better daysYou and I must find one anotherOr you and I will helplessly discoverThe misery of abandoning what was meant to be.

Well in the steam of the man hole cities slumLike a ghost it takes form in the sludge and the scumWell Jose said he knew him but not for very longYou know the Mexican kid well we all called him johnHe was cut down quickly his legs wouldn’t runYou see it all came down to big Danny’s gunHe was a devil to most but an angel to someHe ruled his block with a gang load of menCOZ I’M A GENERATION TERROIST ANDWHEN I SHOOTYOU KNOW I NEVER MISSAND ITSMY LIFE MY WAY I CANT RESISTIL SCRATCH YOU OUT IF YOUR ON MY LISTCOZ I’M A GENERATION TERROIST ANDWHEN I SHOOTYOU KNOW I NEVER MISSAND ITSMY LIFE MY WAY I CANT RESISTIL SCRATCH YOU OUT IF YOUR ON MY LISTSwastika tattooed on his headAt the age of 24 he ate a bullet in bedWell big Danny cleaned up the mess that he leftAs he explained it to meWell he wept and he weptHe said IT DONT MAKE NO FUCKIN SENSE!He told me little Lars keep it under your breathRevenge was coming from the tip of his tongueI guess it was served when Jose didn’t runCOZ I’M A GENERATION TERROIST ANDWHEN I SHOOTYOU KNOW I NEVER MISSAND IT’SMY LIFE MY WAY I CANT RESISTIL SCRATCH YOU OUT IF YOUR ON MY LISTCOZ I’M A GENERATION TERROIST ANDWHEN I SHOOTYOU KNOW I NEVER MISSAND IT’SMY LIFE MY WAY I CANT RESISTIL SCRATCH YOU OUT IF YOUR ON MY LISTCOZ I’M A GENERATION TERROIST ANDWHEN I SHOOTYOU KNOW I NEVER MISSAND IT’SMY LIFE MY WAY I CANT RESISTIL SCRATCH YOU OUT IF YOUR ON MY LISTCOZ I’M A GENERATION TERROIST ANDWHEN I SHOOTYOU KNOW I NEVER MISSAND ITSMY LIFE MY WAY I CANT RESISTIL SCRATCH YOU OUT IF YOUR ON MY LISTWell I was 11 years oldThere was a knock at my doorThere was some trouble in my manorIts outta controlWell big Danny’s handcuffed he’s on the floorYeah he told me to run and he told me to boltAs my mother cried you know my father liedWell big Danny was there he was at my sideHe taught me how to love he taught me how to be freeYEAH FREE

Were at an age where the night spills after hoursExperience wears thin from time and useIm getting restless. Im signing outIts been fun fighting this stupid boutIn on the next train outOuts where Im goingIm on a roll right nowIm pissing everybody off around meIm not the sameI cant control it nowI gotta say this lifestyle dont suit meIm running low on the shit that keep me movingIm running low on the shit that makes me moveIm thankful for patienceIm thankful for friendsIts been fun taking this to the endDont want to nay sayPlease keep me moving
