I'm tired of getting rained on
I'm tired of playing inside baseball
i said maybe ten words yesterday
and it felt real good turning off my brain
and i'm holding out hope for you
and i'm holding out a little bit for me too
and I'm hoping if i get another chance
I won't fuck it up again like i have in the past
and you're back on you're bullshit
i can tell it by the way you ain't talking
i might crawl back in my hole again
I've got a documented history of doing it
but i'm trying to keep it together
i'm trying to get back to what i believed in
before this sanctimonious horseshit
came down, took my brain out and broke it

you find a beast
you go kick his cage
I am deliberate in every single thing that I say
we've been hurting
we've been healing
we've been papering the wall
staring at the ceiling
who are you?
asking all these questions
and picking at the glue
that I poured on you
back when I gave life to you
I have often wondered
what comes after this place
and I am finding out in the
most peculiar ways
it's not the same
it's not the same
it's not the same
it's not the same
as it ever was
I have always been a bit unplugged
always arcing, always bouncing off the people I love
now I'm older
yeah I'm older
I've been ripping out the wires
and flipping them over
I'm still chucking out sparks
still throwing off electrical charges
and I have often wondered
what makes the world so strange
and I am finding out today
the hard way
it's not the same
it's not the same
it's not the same
it's not the same
I love you anyway

a spirit in my speaker
was talking to me through radio waves
saying hey jude, I'm a lost cause too
you can't move something that don't wanna move
I met the devil, I went to church
when you hear both sides of a story, it only makes it worse
the choice between your left and your right hand
a fat fuck's greasy fingers in the saucepan
what's it gonna take to quench your undying thirst?
how can I call mine what you found first?
I wanna clip your wing
you wanna jam a fork in my eye
but you'd follow me into a firefight
we're all buzzing around the brightest light
if I knew how close to get
if I knew the right amount of blood to let
if I had the brains or the mindset
to take what I wanted and leave the bodies in the dustpan
I'd like to believe you'd still love me then
how do you wish to life what you've never been?

freedom is a bag of bones
on the kitchen stairs
if you're not going anywhere, you're getting old
freedom is a die you roll
undersized, overgrown
undertaker, understand that I am under no one's hand
what overlaps gets overblown
you gotta look for numbers on the sides of the cars
you gotta look for rattlesnakes in the tall grass in your yard
what I found, you'll never find, you are, you are, you are, you are
you are everything and you are nothing at all
kicking hard in wooden shoes
whose baby girl is that, kicking herself breathless, baby blue?
don't hold your breath if you think it's you
overwrought, undersold
under every little man is a man who thought he was over growing old
freedom is a die you roll
freedom is a die you roll
you gotta look for numbers on the sides of the cars
you gotta look for rattlesnakes in the tall grass in your yard
what I found, you'll never find, you are, you are, you are, you are
you are everything and you are nothing at all
freedom is a bag of bones
on the kitchen stairs
if you're not going anywhere, you're getting old
freedom is a die you roll

I got a bad feeling
it keeps getting worse
had a dream that it was Christmas
woke up with blood on my shirt
I saw the rats
I hear the protest songs
I keep having dreams about you dying
and waking up all distraught
you keep getting harder,
slipping further away
and I don't, I don't wanna say
wait
I've been hanging around
the worst parts of town
I've been dragging every person that I meet down
and I've got nothing to say
for the way I behave
I am dreaming I am leaving
I'm going to outer fucking space
I don't, I don't wanna stay
and wait

telling lies on the radio
we're sitting here drinking it up
do you feel like an animal?
it's a grain of sand
it's the constant swing of a battering ram
it's a story I tell again and again
yeah, them's the breaks
yeah, I know it's fucked, but that's hard to take
yeah them's the breaks, yeah them's the breaks
yeah them's the breaks, yeah them's the breaks
yeah them's the breaks, yeah them's the breaks
