[verse one] When I wake up from the night before no need to get up for my lungs to be tight and sore no matter how ill I feel I go and buy some more even though I know it aint worth dying for I watch that cone sink my eye goes pink Im heavenly sedated so my mind wont think my pain and my habits seem to be both linked so I’m grabbing those tablets to make those demons grow extinct explicit images witnessed as infant I have to live with this every minute you get it? addicted from ripping away from the pain thats been inflicted affected with the sickness and wickedness is my medic this boat will float even though I need to choke on smoke to feel dope my hope energetic this bloke self control broke killing my self slowly if you know me I wrote a note in poetics So why do I feel deep inside that this fish needs fly fin and tale and only lift me so high swam out of like from the school used my mind and as a tool swimming in an ocean the size of a pool lets go little deeper let me give you a peace of the key but keep up in the deep stuff the boiling water burns the tea cup like your throat after three puffs we know this dream sucks is why were heating up that green buds [chorus] Yeh yeh yeh don't ever judge me adventures been ugly who said this life was fair? yeh yeh yeh the only feelings that can touch me is the music the drugs and the love in the air So thats why I keep going back thats why I keep going back it heals all the wounds from being scratched up and slapped thats why I keep going back [verse two] I like that burning sensation from the Bourbon that I'm tasting its so tasty and its taking away the pain from the bones that are breaking is why I gave in to the urges of temptation hurting till regurgitating on the pavement wasted I used to chill back by the Yarra river with mates slab a goon sack and a bottle of licker I would rap while my mates would attack the liquid see who could get it down their chin and scoff it quicker on our own journeys had our own issues early on the drink that gets abused and misused for some fun and some laughs live in the now son and learn from what you done in the past even though we were sixteen years old we’d seen and had enough to be tough and be bold whoah! had to stay strong through the memories we hold and we’re still living on rock and roll mother fucker rock n roll I wouldn't change things even if I could I’ve lived in a day dream and here I’ve stood made my self feel amazing I only like feeling good you have to feel bad to feel great and thats somethings I’ve understood so slowly I’m getting used to feeling how I'm feeling with out having to change the vibe but in a world full of killers pedophiles and heroine dealers its hard to believe its a miracle I'm alive that peeling feeling that stops me from seeking meaning don’t want to be a human being feeling I'm done but your steam trains steaming and rivers and creeks streaming you gotta get chewed up before you blow up like bubble gum [chorus] yeh yeh yeh don't ever judge me adventured been ugly who said this life was fair? yeh yeh yeh the only feelings that can touch me is the music, the drugs and the love in the air So thats why I keep going back thats why I keep going back it heals all the wounds from being scratched up and slapped thats why I keep going back

[verse one] Murder rape, sickness hate swine thieves lies and fakes the darks sides getting heavy no body can lift its wait I’ve seen more then enough theres not much more my eyes can take so I migrate to my dreams and thats were I hibernate I wouldn't say its my mistake in another world whilst I'm wide awake off with the Fairies, make me participate in a stickier web then the kind that spiders make never listened in school I'm not easy to manipulate even though I love to procrastinate I'm on this gigantic planet simply to be and create in this frantically and manically tragic roller coaster to ensure I will never break damn straight every door will eventually have a lose hinge enter my metaphor mentally explore a new thing the pictures the letters draw heavenly sooth the bruising imaginations supposed to be rugged and amusing [chorus] (times two) This is my perception of life so alive and intense like a fight its so messed up but everything will be alright we don't need a helmet on the rugged bike ride [verse two] let my mind run as fast as it goes getting drunk getting stoned till I'm numb watch my conscience unfold I know absolutely nothing because nothing is told everything thing I think I know seems to dig a bigger whole I cant see the bottom pit filled with mud and dirt I already feel forgotten and it fucking hurts Im a rock Ill never soften, you learn to love it first but when the trees blossom you know its just another curse I've been abandoned in my misery, beat battered so viciously I vividly visually see a point to build a bigger me I’ve been belittled and crippled so bitterly its taken my ability to pick up my utilities imagine a shark with out its killer teeth the demons on the leash I still cant seem to kill the beast there are a lot of monsters up in St kilda east you’l never see it it always hidden right underneath Ima lighten up my heart like it the last night of Chanukah Ima burn the world up gonna melt your thermometer gonna get on top of my head like a yamukah this is out world to defend like Karav Maga peace harmony home? na look how far we are when its each to their own w’ell never see our Narnia don’t you want to see your Narnia [chorus] (times two) this is my perception of life so alive and intense like a fight its so mest up but everything will be alright we don't need a helmet on this rugged bike ride [verse 3] This is rock n roll to live in the now is magnificent hitting ten pins when I bowl don’t be afraid to be different my fingers don’t even fit on the whole I move it forward with my mind and the magic from my finger tips I got my fishing rod and I'm hear to catch Poseidon whens the mossier arriving? I'm really starting to miss you god I know you know where I’ve been and yeh I beat the odds raised one way but went and did the complete opposite with confidents I was only curious if I'm being honest I was just bothered and furious I wanted the pureness in this but something clicked felt like a tourist visiting the places I missed felt like a new tank to a fish too strange makes me think through the days that I’ve existed I’ve morphed and I’ve shape shifted what moments have I thrown away to embrace what in my vision what words have escaped my ears cause I wasn't able to listen and this is [chorus] (times two) my perception of life so alive and intense like a fight its so messed up but everything will be alright we don't need a helmet on this rugged bike ride

The System 03:40
[verse one] when I close my eyes the gate way to my soul Im able to fly through the knowledge that I hold Im just love and inspired totally in control minds completely wired making it easy to role the coaster on the tracks flowing smooth I aint noticing the cracks fuck a mood cause I honestly want to be relaxed hoping I don't go back to remote controls control information over load and peace remains intact but when I walk out the door to my brick hut not many talk at all keeping there lips shut and when the water falls their getting zipped up following laws so I don't think they think much now lets bring up artists and thinkers that think nuts speaking wisdom that links us repainting over this picture with a pink brush we feel you we’ll heal you were in touch [chorus] times two we see the system eagerly resisting day to day we stay away and we keep our distance we live in side the hive but we don't listen the guy that ties a price to life is the victim [verse two] We all wake up to work for the machine business men, waiters street cleaners keeping the city clean Bankers Barista transforming a bean Land skapers and Diggers Actors performing for a seen public transports moving so are cars on the road murders and shootings lets take this as far as it goes I’ve seen people do things to survive and they try but they just cant handle the load no others make money of addiction you just hand them the doe every year theres a candle to blow bulls shit holidays the fucking bunnies and Santa would know live in a materialism prison welcome to the dome here your mind gets blown away here to remind you about you holy golden gates thats lives deep with inside your brain your base sitting in its place in a body behind seeing eyes and face [chorus] times two We see the system eagerly resisting day to day we stay away and we keep our distance we live inside the hive but we don't listen the guy that ties a price to life is the victim [verse three] some young kids were brought up in nice cribs parents bought em clothes that fit sick kicks with nike ticks tucked em into bed buy the time the night hits got a pillow for their head dad flicks off the light switch and gets em out of trouble or a tight situation keeps em in the bubble with the right information mum and dad are a couple hiding their confrontations buying your consoles for your mind manipulation daddy wears a suit and tie mama ties up your shoe lace buys your supplies like your fluoride filled tooth paste you listen and insist that its true what the news say radio music you play you bloody bunch of fruit cakes I don’t want to judge but lets open up a new case filled with trouble makers that don't like to be too safe no body believes in them and telling them they do great so they follow the steps and the moves that the crew make hating school, never obeying the rules cause its too late making noise when their hitting the streets like a boom gate feeling one with the boys listening to beats and Wutang some let of the leash others broke off the lose chain [chorus] times two we see the system eagerly resisting, day to day we stay away and keep our distance we live in side the hive but we don't listen the guy that ties a price to life is the victim

[verse 1] I love what my eyes have seen even if it wasn't the nicest scene but I believe the time Iv been here is steering the vibrant peace of my beliefs in places so cold spiritual minus five degrees I still stay warm, no worries seen miracles in great form, seen love make hate say sorry seen good men do bad things and get away in a hurry and back then I could only imagine what was in front of me my eyes always open and my lips see the bliss in closing I want to witness the uplifted and floating but also grounded and coping I want to watch the wind blow rings out of the fires smoke like me when Im smoking What images have you seen? what steps have you taken in life? some say is a dream how do you take it ? how do perceive what you see and stay patient when picture isn't clear enough for young know what you facing ? [chorus] (twice) Its a cold world so we’ll keep on lighting fires keep the light shining even if the dark is fighting back its a cold world we’re fighters and survivors and were tired but no we wont collapse I’ve seen some strange things that change the way my brain thinks I’ve seen the bad and the good and I'm glad that I could its the wood to the fire we’re creating [verse 2] Iv seen faces with frowns and smiles felt hatred since a child its contagious if you let it run wild I let my problems stack in a pile made monsters confident and vile I stopped it but worked on it for a while now I can see gonna follow through with my plan indeed creating something beautiful like planting some seeds or people dancing in the street Im not gonna rock with the flock or rest with with the rest of the geese the ugliness that people see its abundant and and its buzzing like a bunch of busy bees when a memory is so extreme its so heavy that you want to scream louder then you ever screamed its takes time and effort just to leave it in peace still it effects me in my dreams gives me restless sleeps a lot of us have got problems tremendous and deep when your confidents is forgotten left so tender and weak this just a sneak peak of what Iv seen peeps muddy pits a clean streams big trees with green leaves copious amounts of sweet weed its actually a joke, how much smoke we breath watch sun set high at the beach in the water knee deep [chorus] (twice) Its a cold world so we’ll keep on lighting fires keep the light shining even if the dark is fighting back its a cold world were fighters and survivors and were tired but no we wont collapse I’ve seen some strange things that changed the way my brain thinks. I’ve seen bad and the good and I'm glad that I could its the wood to the fire were creating
