Why I Keep Going Back
03:35

[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

Perception of Life
03:57
|
|||
[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

What My Eyes Have Seen
03:54
|
|||
[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
