If I can figure out how to focus,
I know, I'm sure I can own this
But I don't know what I'm dealing with,
And I don't even know what year it is
Away we go,
Look on the bright side, at least it never snows,
But I can't say the same for home.
Even though I know that home is in my bones.
I can own this,
Cause I know, I'm sure I can focus
But I think to much about my friends, I guess
I got to think about my interest and what's best,
Cause I control this,
And I know I'm unsure what my goal is,
No I don't got a plan at all.
I hope I get to where I'm going and that's all
If that's selfish,
Well I know that this life is priceless
As I sing this,
I hope that my body listens
Cause I control this,
So it's time I design it
Now here's the melody,
My gums are bleeding-
Sick revenge, from the pen I've been chewing,
As I bring you in to how I wrote this down,
Don't look for meaning, cause I'm just looking around
See, I got to focus
But my mind, gets tied up in hardships,
And other shit that seems to slow me down,
I got to keep my head up, and off the ground
I got problems,
And apparently the whole wide world has also got 'em-
But that's not my problem,
I'm lost,
Don't know where to begin,
I got these words in my head,
And got these strings on my fingertips,
What's wrong- nothing,
What's going on- in this life time that means something
Seems to me like nothing
Yeah, I'm golden
And don't got shit to do until those caps aren't frozen
And my home turns to ocean
Until then,
I'll just hang with my friends,
I'll search my soul till I'm dead,
And figure out how to bring and end
To work days- fuck 'em.
I get payed to count change and bullshit with humans.
Seems to be useless.
