…an alien, it shouldn't matter if we're alone
In the universe if we feel alone on the Earth
It's a curse from birth, and it only gets…
…life
Nobody gets how close I've been to suicide
Outcasted like Jesus I too have been crucified
I'm on his right next to him dying…
…be smart just wake up the pineal
The system ain't broken they made it unequal
They're trying to separate us they're using Jesus…

I only miss you when the sun goes down
Oh your voice is my favorite sound
Swaying like the palm trees
You…
I still get the feeling seeing a picture that you post
I'm still hung up on you, but I know that you've moved on
On to…
…that you got plans
You got school up on your hands, no time for a man
I still get the tingle when I think of my girl
That had to let go to move on into the…

In and out the Sprinter van, pull up, get the levels right
Get a bite to eat, do the show, and then we settle like…
…an institute since I ended schooling
Used to hate it, now my dreams take place in it
Sun shine through the blinds 'til I wake in it
I just got…

It's been a minute since
Did I change or did they rob me of my innocence?
Inner city kids I grew up…

Go out and I ride
If you see us arrive
Turn off the lights
Close all the blinds
Choppas on me
Choppas on deck

I go out in the night

Go out and I ride
If you see us arrive
Turn off the lights
Close all the blinds

If you see us arrive
Turn off the lights
Close all the blinds

The mystery that blinds us all has left me here willing to fall
Down this rabbit hole
Disconnect all feelings…

Irene pulled in at midnight
Lit on the smoke and beer
Proudly crawled to the porch and called
"Your favorite child…
I close my blinds
"Pretend there's rain instead
"I took down all my mirrors
"I gave away all my rope and guns
"Drown the…

She comes upon
Old Irene
Said "It's sad but true
"In spite of all it brings, it's the only thing

Still drunk from the night before
Sunlight creeps through my window
Somewhere between high and low
So I close the blinds…
…of killer bees to honor
On a daily basis feel the stasis place us farther down
A hole that we control and yet continually deepen
Even…
…between high and low
So I close the blinds and I smoke my mind
Sorry bae I'm out of love
Honestly, I just want to fuck
I can't connect with anyone
Don't mind me I'm drunk…
