Blinded by an earthquake when some debris and schrapnel scorched my eyes. Made it home alive but scared (whoa oh). Fire burned my village down. All my clothes, my favorite rugs, now to ash. Terrible devastation yeah My best friend is missing. I think i saw his t-shirt torn by the church on 54th street and central ave. I hope my mom and dad are safe but i'm not - I'm not very optimistic. It's terrible devastation yeah - oh yeah

I’ve never been bad to women I’ve always been good at life But with a wink of an eye and a turn of a vice I’d settle down with a wife Extremes. Living out pipe dreams Carefree. Sharing fond memories. I hope I don’t die alone. Or even live that way. I made some mistakes along the way. I’m old but still learning. Still growing up. Still stepping before I look. At least I still have my eyesight. But my attention's impaired. My target's locked and loaded with care It seems my conversations are weak. My dreams are running unintentionally out of steam I’m livin out pipe dreams. Carefree. Sharing fond memories.

Well, I heard rome wasn’t built in a day So how come everyone is rushing to get ahead And If I seem to be reserved it’s just my way Your question’s like your interrogating me yeah, I try then again I don’t try I get an F for Effort I'll get a D next time I’ve heard the lemon metaphor four million times Well I don’t stand for lemonade, don’t ask me why Would a beverage stand be job that’d be desired? And where would I get the wood (would) and should I try? Yeah, I try then again I don’t try I get an F for Effort I’d take a 65 I heard currency doesn’t grow like leaves on trees How come my money comes and goes so seasonally I wish farmers planted plants instead of thieves My friend pays a ton of green for greener groceries Yeah, she tried Then again she don’t try She gets an F for Effort Is that such a crime?

Good Advice 03:26
30 dollar bible I don't know why Mine's just as thick Million dollar smile I don't know why Mine's just as rich But if you see it in yourself Then you should know it Yeah I don't know it but it sounds like good advice Thousand dollar style I don't know why I don't wanna fit Million dollar idol I don't know why I don't worship it But if you see it in yourself Then you should know it Yeah I don't know it but it sounds like good advice

My Fault 02:16
Time is hard enough to wait for At least i can be with you Age is enough to be afraid of i'd like to grow old with you And if I die tonight, please keep my love in a vault. And if you die tonight, please let it not be my fault My fault, my fault, please keep my lovin in a vault. My fault, my fault, that you're not here. Earth is large enough to get lost on I wanna find a way to be with you Space is far enough as it is. Please don't ship(blast) off too soon And if I leave tonight, it'don't mean our lovin will halt And if you leave tonight, please it let it not be my fault. My fault, don't let our lovin tumblesault My fault, default and come right back to me. My fault, my fault, my affection is assault My fault, pole fault and land right next to me. My fault my fault Please keep my lovin in a vault My fault my fault that your not here with me

Question this and question that Too many questions without answers and no one questions that Question this and question that It seems like everybody's sentenced if they ever answer back Question this and question that It seems you never get a second and your second guessing that Question this and question that it seems like everybody's dancing round the question-answer that Question this and questions that It seems like every single answer and every single minute causes every single cancer and every indecision and we're just set up to live it and we're just too weak to lift it how bout that question this and question that repeat i turn the water off because you genuinely get mad
7.
Excavating dirt inside my brain instead of out climbing mountains in bed i lay in silent blame counting every sheep I can name false solace mounting everyday all this makes me evacuate Excavating brains outside my house inside of bars I get let down In silence thinking im a clown In time I'll make my way around Every new name i mispronounce the sounds i hear just drown you out
8.
Grimm 02:13
GRIM I wanna eliminate the problems of man But I can't if don't be a good dude I wanna find myself and be a new man But I can't if I don't leave my bedroom I wanna solve these kinds of problems like my dad But I can't if I keep asking of him I wanna be the one that glees the one that's sad But I can't if I keep acting so Grimm I wanna tolerate the moral compass Invest and generate the corporate profits And I can And I plan to interrupt the fiscal process And have fun I wanna string myself up like a witch And tell the town to burn my body like its wood I wanna pick myself up like a baby And pass that shit around like It's all good I wanna sing myself asleep in a canoe But I can't if keep playing out of tune I wanna worship a god that's untrue And I can if I keep listening to you I want eliminate coercive constructs Co-facilitate all future prospects And I can and I plan to renovate the final project And be nice
