Adjust
Even when the darkness is too much your eyes eventually, eventually adjust
Even when the darkness is too much your eyes eventually, eventually adjust
You want me to read your mind
But not really
But really, just at certain times
Meteorology; I guess I'll predict the fucking future
My forecast is you're crazy
Even when the darkness is too much your eyes eventually, eventually adjust
Even when the darkness is too much your eyes eventually, eventually adjust
Remember that time we had sex in El Paso?
The Marriott, August was hot
Over and over again
Learning how to love
I fucking found you
Now baby you can have me too
Even when the darkness is too much your eyes eventually, eventually adjust
Even when the darkness is too much your eyes eventually, eventually adjust
You walked back all them compliments
I thought I heard some nice things for once
Your words built up my confidence
But now the feels are fenced behind a tower of bullshit
My Insecurities to hide
Do you do this normally to every loser guy?
Even when the darkness is too much your eyes eventually, eventually adjust
Even when the darkness is too much your eyes eventually, eventually adjust
Even when the darkness is too much your eyes eventually, eventually adjust
Even when the darkness is too much your eyes eventually, eventually adjust
Even when the darkness is too much your eyes eventually, eventually adjust
Even when the darkness is too much your eyes eventually, eventually adjust
Low God Diet
I'm going on a low-God diet
Maybe I'll actually see the effects of change
Don't want to be the one staring death in the face
As the only impetus for the change
If I'll stop all consumption maybe He'll finally do something
Lest I try something new
The proper thing to do is just sit and wait
Always at His convenience
And precisely on God's time it'll be alright
Alright?
Everyone has an opinion but
Everyone must not draw their own conclusions
You're a knife to the back not a punch to the face
Only one I can see coming my way
If I look unbecoming maybe He'll finally do something
Lest I try something new
The proper thing to do is just sit and wait
Always at His convenience
And precisely on God's time it'll be alright
Alright?
Lest I try something new
The proper thing to do is just sit and wait
Always at His convenience
And precisely on God's time it'll be alright
Alright?
Alright...alright...
The Mage From Egypt
You’re on to something finally
The premise was probably wobbly
I know, I’ve heard this opinion before
Oh
You’ve got a knack for timing
A lengthy opinion on everything
A prince for show
Well, who really knows
Oh
Dweller in the valley of Kings
Then you smacked your head on a beam
Well, you got concussed so what’s all the fuss?
Oh
Pull off some dancing like MJ
Center of attention, ultimately
A show off by heart but where did you get your start?
Oh
Acting like you see all the plays
nothing ever gets past your gaze
man, you crazy
But it don’t mean a thing
Oh
The biggest dick in the room
Putting everyone else in a tomb
I know, I’ve seen it all before
Oh
Stop Motion
Oh I won’t be afraid toe the line so bold
Take a look what do you make of this stone rose?
And I feel so alone where’d the drugs go?
And I feel like a saint behind a megaphone
Round and round we go
Slowly up and down we go
Stop motion carousel
Round and round we go
Slowly up and down we go
Stop motion carousel
Here we are in line at the carnival
Why oh why’d we decide to get so high?
All these lights flash so uncontrolled like strobes
Close my eyes not to die as the ride slows
Round and round we go
Slowly up and down we go
Stop motion carousel
Round and round we go
Slowly up and down we go
Stop motion carousel
This trip went sideways
Sunscreen to block sun rays
I don’t know a single face in this goddamned place
This trip is sideways
Let’s bounce and leave no trace
I don’t know a single face in this goddamned place
Round and round we go
Slowly up and down we go
Stop motion carousel
Round and round we go
Slowly up and down we go
Stop motion carousel
Round and round we go (Round and round we go)
Slowly up and down we go (slowly up and down)
Stop motion carousel (slow mo carousel)
Round and round we go (Round and round we go)
Slowly up and down we go (slowly up and down)
Stop motion carousel (slow mo carousel)
All In Good Time
My time ricochets
Bouncing off concrete walls
Reverberate Indefinitely
Throw my worries towards the sea
All in good time I won’t find the crooked thief
All in good time I won’t smoke that leaf
All in good time I won’t lay that freak
All In good time
All
Swim to the waters edge
Peering through the dark
Mulling over what I said
I’m circled by sharks
All in good time I won’t yell at my kids
All in good time I'll learn what patience is
All in good time maybe I’ll force consequences
All in good time
All in
All in good time maybe I’ll do some therapy
All in good time maybe I’ll focus on her needs
All in good time maybe I’ll learn some empathy
All in good time
All in good
I’ll finally say what I mean
Repair all the images
Do it before I’m buried beneath
Or my body is tossed out
All in good time I’ll prioritize my health
All in good time I’ll put down the cancer sticks
All in good time I’ll shed all the excess
All in good time
All in good time
Cave Troll
You're such a fucking asshole
Open up your mouth
spew the vomit out
How ever you got this far
A profane turn of phrase
With everything you say
Nowhere to run to now
You come in
You sneak in
A keyboard assassin
Nowhere to run to now
You come in
You sneak in
A keyboard assassin
You're such a fucking cave troll
Put on your "bad ass" mask
Mask all of your attacks
I truly can't believe
Passive aggressively
try to ruin everything
Nowhere to run to now
You come in
You sneak in
A keyboard assassin
Nowhere to run to now
You come in
You sneak in
A keyboard assassin
Nowhere to run to now
You come in
You sneak in
A keyboard assassin
Nowhere to run to now
You come in
You sneak in
I'm the assassin
Uplift
Uplift me
Is that what you wanted?
And I'll put on a show
Is God empty?
I haven't felt Him
In so long I don't know
Uplift me
Force the blood out
And I'll take a few more blows
I'm always sifting
Feel the light's been put out
Find the soft white glow
What's the story?
I've come this far
Give you the glory?
I think not
Others around me
Claim to have loved it
But I wouldn't know
I gathered the knowledge
Went off to college
But He never showed
What's the story?
I've come this far
Give you the glory?
I think not
I just
I can't
So much frustration
I won't
I don't
Want your heaven
Uplift me
Is that what you wanted?
And I'll put on a show
What was I supposed to say
I didn't want to go
You wanted me to stay
But you never had a hold
What was I supposed to say
And I didn't want to go
You wanted me to stay
But you never had a hold
What was I supposed to say
I didn't want to go
You wanted me to stay
But you never had a hold
What was I supposed to say
And I didn't want to go
Uplift me
Is that what you wanted?
And I'll put on a show
What's the story?
I've come this far
Give you the glory
I think not
I just
I can't
So much frustration
I won't
I don't
Want your heaven
I just
I can't
So much frustration
I won't
I don't
Want your heaven
Uplift me
Is that what you wanted?
And I'll put on a show
Rock Bottom
You gotta hit rock bottom before you know the right direction to go
You gotta hit rock bottom before you know that you really know
You gotta hit rock bottom from time to time in order to grow
You gotta hit rock bottom but not too fast gotta take it slow
You gotta hit rock bottom before you know the right direction to go
You gotta hit rock bottom before you know that you really know
You gotta hit rock bottom from time to time in order to grow
You gotta hit rock bottom but not too fast gotta take it slow
Jesus Christ, what is with you all the time?
Could you get together once in a while?
You always seem to have a crisis going on
Would you get it together?
Jesus Christ, what is with you all the time?
Could you get together once in a while?
You always seem to have a crisis going on
Would you get it together?
Oh
Jesus Christ, what is with you all the time?
Would you get together once in a while?
You always seem to have a crisis going on
Would you get it together?
All I Can Do Is Pass
Faking's the best bore
God, what a massive chore
No more
Who is this person?
There's no character flaw at all
I'll stall
Free from the chains
And free from the dust-soaked breeze
Nothing remains
All now can be at ease
Travel this dark road
Intoxicating flow
Decode
Where is this person?
Lost in the fallen leaves
Reprieve
Free in the rain
It swept out the dust-soaked breeze
Soil and clay
Lie down get washed away
Time for openness
And time for the honest truth
There's no use
Who is this person?
And all I can do is pass
It won't last
Free from the gains
I am the dust-soaked breeze
Don't ever complain
Open your eyes to see
But I can't sustain
As life washes over me
