every story is the same old lie
i could see the ****** with two patched eyes
still they keep me on the hook
i’m woke i’m tired i’m static i’m shook
i cannot hear the greater cry
i cannot grasp the thought of getting by
what's a novel? what’s a book?
what’s an author? what’s a crook?
tell a story, spin a lie
this is a red herring fish fry
this is astounding, a new high
all i had to do was hit a low
when i got there i reached a bit below
and then i stopped there
i saw the bigger picture
big mood it could fill a pitcher
big mood it could **** a preacher
big mood i could write about it
big mood i could hide from it
i should hide from it
i should run away
say sayonara ‘til a brighter day
‘til the moonlight hits a lighter face
i could always be a step away
what's two steps away?
tryna step away?
three steps away?
tryna step away?
what's a meter away? what’s a mile away?
did i drag a mile from an inch?
did i stretch my mind out paper thin?
solve a problem - see the end
final push - bring it in
bring it on - finish strong
final song - live long
long live - three shouts
begin again - bean sprouts
it's a cycle
