American Sniper

I went with my friends, to see
american sniper
we pointed our hands at the screen like
we were holding a rifle
Mark and I just criticized
because the movie was awful
tell me if theres anything patriotic about
killing innocent people
i realized chris was just doing the job he was ordered for the war
but in the end your only regret was that you wished you had killed more
i feel somewhere inside that the whole things terribly wrong
when love for your country cause hate for other ones
After the movie we piled into jakes car
a titantium missile
three in the back seat three in the front.
i sat in the middle (the bitch seat)
we dropped the guys in the back off first. they left and said goodnight
all three kids in the front seat, oh now what a sight
on the way we passed an officer who probably thought something wasnt right
he would have pulled us over, but didnt since jake is white

paranoia
cause someones always watching
and they care about the details
and they see my shoes are muddy
paranoia
always thinks that i smell like cigarettes
and criticizes how i hold it
and asks how many i smoke a day
and asks me if i want to die this way
and i say seven years early sounds okay
seven years early sounds okay
yeah seven years early sounds okay
seatbelt
please buckle up your seatbelt, baby
we know well enough not to trust my driving
or trust what i say for the sake of surviving
muscles
it feels like i pulled a muscle baby
youre not sure how accurate that is
judging by the fact that im not crying
those were my fathers
they belonged to him
kept high up on a shelf i couldnt reach
more for his safety than mine

my mind, in a hysterical fit
got rid of twenty five cent worth relationships
and we're off the cuff, and off the record
i just wanna let you know that its luck
i know crap music when i hear it
but it was too late and your ears were bleeding
id rather you not throw things in the house
but ill admit thatsa lil funny even now
the way the heights and pages even out
i dont mean to panic but i think we're running out
he says he dont care whether or not the cops roll up to our car
but i do, cause i got a little something in my mason jar
how come the nights where we stay up til 4 am and get too
little sleep, are few and far between
and how come the nights where you get drunk and doubt the status of your love,
never last until the dawn
you roll the ball down the alley
it dont spin like it did before
remember how you used to be, leonard
cruel and graceful
breathe the cold air for once
it holds more answers than the warm air does
once more round the sun there bud
once more round the sun there bud
youre looking over at me
and the wire down my back is itching
old friends going through phases
in lots empty and vacant

Health

i've got a noose around my neck
and im feeling pretty grateful that its not strep instead
the doctors round here are great theyll give you gatorade
and if youre really sick like my friends are sick, then youll get something to wash
it down with
do no harm they say
but the pills are doing more harm than they could ever take away
pharmaceutical companies never really bothered me
until i stepped back and i looked at the big picture, the big picture
and there are people i know, who are so far down in death row
that theyre not coming back again
and i dont take my health for granted anymore because im
slowly becoming one of them
ive got a good amount of friends and should be grateful im not dead because of them
but i dont count my lucky stars because of light pollution and the ceiling over my head
the ceiling over my head,
i would tear it down, but im just not that kind of man
i dont have the muscles, or tools or permits required for a proper demolition
so i will chip away at it, chip away at it chip away at it all
and there are people i know who have been living inside their Entire life
and only recently have grown
and i dont take my shelter for granted anymore because i
only recently have felt at home

Homeowners

ian sidesteps into a house show, hes clutching a beer, yeah hes cutching a beer
focus his energy downward, his hand is gripping on the outline of his phone
ian's friends aren't here, theyre in a feud with the owners of the home
cause once they played a show and james lippy with the owners of the home
could i get your number, one of the many things that slipped my mind last night
this bands a fucking disaster, i think im gonna leave before shit gets too tight
this house is going under, to the sound of some lame 90s cover band
he never pictured it like this, end of the world with a pbr in hand
and lets be real with our selves we talk about god more than we talk about
the girls that broke our hearts
youre cruel, youre terrible olivia
and lets be real we talk about our selves more than we talk about god
or the girls that broke our hearts
youre cruel, youre terrible olivia
we were walking back from the creek when we saw in the field a cop--
drop your bowl off in the grass
cause youre not looking for a disposition, tonight -
im a man of science, id love to say im an atheist -
but im scared to be wrong just like any man of science should -
i wannago back in time and stop REM from becoming a band
and if entirely necessary to murder michael stipe
these are the measures im prepared to take to stop this conversation from ever ocurring
people will pour their hearts out to you about a mediocre band while an even worse one plays
looking over and just past you, i have the attention span of a rock
but some metamorphic rocks have a better backstory than me

sunny day, help me up
got me feeling, feeling stuck
turn your head away for just one moment
help me up, bring me down
maybe catch me, maybe drown
got a way with words that make you smile
holly's falling back to surface
trying just to find her purpose
in the dark room behind closed doors
we are we, and i am yours
don't switch on the light cause i dont want to see
they've got nothing on me
throw me from the second story
i got way too lucky
way too many times

pour some salt on my open wounds
pour some on my closed ones too
the operation was not a success
the operation was not a success
failed
i made something; something can't arise from nothing
loved like one king; feared like one king
top of the morning; top of the morning
eleven o clock; in the goddamn morning and
failed
pour some salt on my open wounds
watch me pour some, pour some on you too
the operation was a dream
the operation would of been a dream
and it failed
already failed
i failed
on command

mr president wont you give me permission
to take up arms against the police opposition
youve made it very clear that you dont want us here
but i was born here so ill remain another year (or two)
its been far too long for no justice to be served
locked behind the prison walls the punishment deserved?
roaming through the city streets on the unarmed weak they prey
whether you were brought unwillingly or crossed the border for better pay

A Song About The Future
01:13

sing a song for now, sing a song for then
don't sing a song about the future its not certain
but something is, and ill tell you what
if i dont see you soon, ill see you soon enough
I had a dream, broken down on the side of the road
and in the distance i saw headlights
six seven four hundred pounds but light on his feet
way out in tonga playing basketball. motekiai langi
lesson learned: if you have talent then theyll find you
but im still here,
