I walk around in confusion i never make it so the 5 senses around my head always let me know its a slight contradiction always a cruel game and with slight contradictions i think ill be OK. it didn't work for my parents to give it up for the team. it didn't work for the hippies they couldn't stay very clean. and with slight trepidation i came into this world. and if i hadn't been lucky , i wouldn't have gotten the girl. I'm all mixed up, what has happened to me. Ive been set up, i just want to be free. oh no i cant explain the condition I'm in. educate or elevate, teach me to win. now I'm reaching for glory as i turn on the big game. i never fear or i worry there's always someone to blame. it's a matter of self preservation, living up to the ideal, and though i have no conviction i try to numb what i feel.

I’m Mr sunshine, look upon my face My wife is waiting to be taken to the better place Not me cause i'm content. Got a uzzi in the closet and a knife in the cabinet. Everyday when I go outside I watch people in the streets and the junkies try to hide Not very hungry but its lunch time Smoke another cigarette waiting in the coffee line Have a smoke, meet you at the back door Lifting boxes off the warehouse floor. Motivating seminar motivated me Hanging in my locker is a picture of Hawaii One day ill make it there Hanging on the beach the wind in my hair Girl by my side Annette Funicelli Oil on my back lying on my belly Now the boss says new truckload Has be loaded by a quarter to four Wonder what its like to be so free Surfing on the waves of Kona Beach Hawaii Hey you! it's a safety issue. Steel toed boots or your gonna need a tissue Worker comp wont pay your rent if you don’t know procedure and your broken and your bent Everyday when I go outside I watch people in the streets and the junkies try to hide Not very hungry but its lunch time Smoke another cigarette waiting in the coffee line

You didn’t tell me you loved me so how was I supposed to know I didn’t think you thought of me you wrote my name in the snow I said id pay for the damage I did to your car you said you came but your purse was left back at the bar you told me once but I seemed to forgot what you said just make sure that you call me don’t forget your friend lied when she told me you changed how you feel in my car parked outside I fell asleep at the wheel I said id pay you ll be cashing my cheque next week you said your tired and you need to get off of your feet I made you angry I can tell from the message you left just make sure that you call me don’t forget

the janitor 03:36
I'm the janitor I'm here to clean the floors ill make it clean till my back is sore I could of been elected president but opportunity had come and went so i spend my days inside my mind so devious and out of line with society and the four food groups the dating scene not in the loop no eye contact given to me no friendly rides offered to me I'm just someone you don't know no one knows where i have to go so don't offer me the extra earl grey tea don't make it complicated the elevator, you could of waited... no one comes when i get sick my birthdays here but there are no gifts my girlfriend we never fight i watch her from the window light my telescope has become my eyes my window shade is my disguise i watch you take off your shirt i watch you take off your skirt please don't call security your secrets all but safe with me I'm not a tom dick or harry look at me I'm not so scary..

Just cause u see it doesn't mean that u can feel it I'm my eyes you are special to me odd and peculiar that's what were called romeo and Julia late for the ball so they laugh when they see us walking hand in hand its plain to see they don't see what i see no they don't understand you and me But were here as a examples of How love can and should be peculiar and odd is all they ever see.... odd and peculiar out holding hands they laugh at us when they pass on by they don’t understand they don’t see how you make my life feel like its now complete Peculiar and odd walking down the street ...

Something about u tells me Im in for a lot of heart ache, you turn away when you say all the events of the day your nerves a jitter when your checking your twitter but you haven't got a thing on your mind when the topic turns to mine cold and hard when your dealing the cards of love always ending up in endless debate your friends are quiet with there a coven of silence yah id try to text you but id only perplex you barefoot on glass such a pain in the ass you are you don't acknowledge my existence today the phone is ringing and find you are leaving the room a private call on the phone and I am left all alone id try to text you but id only perplex you ya

freefall 02:28
Random acts of interrogation , secret signs from the female nation power plays of the submissive kind now one suspects that you re out of your mind in the car you you cause a scene the birds have picked the body clean, no consciousness, no skill she lacks no stone unturned when she attacks free fall no one predicted a free for all you hate work and the president they look to you where has the money went 3 lanes of traffic moving slow where has the year gone, your getting old foods no good so you stand in line well get together another time right now you cant be late you start to panic your wife is late

i pray to increase my insanity for the madness acquired came from you no stability left in the world for me just a slave to mercy's of your will a fool believes only you while the rest of the world just shakes their head a madman loses free will after hes been taken to your bed only a fool would believe all the things you've said and done only a fool would believe in all this life your the only one only a fool would believe i pray to increase all the sanity that could be invoked to hide their souls anything less is calamity the thieving of you is not my goal and maybe i say only nothing leading to places of nowhere but points the way to everything a madman needs when you are near only a fool would believe all the things you've said and done only a fool would believe in all this life your the only one only a fool would believe
