Carve my name into a wall and see the stone decay
I always seem to think that mine is the one to stay
It's not the last time that I ever wanna leave a mark
But it's the first time that I don't wanna be undone
Wait it's not a thing to say
Stay there is a price to pay
I can't believe I didn't see it coming
There's No way to save today
You wanna you wanna you wanna make a mark
Faded from the stone like you never existed
You wanna you wanna you wanna make a mark
Scrape it off the stone like you, never existed anyway
The inconsistencies society breeds in my mind
Take a photo every minute just to prove I'm alive
But what's the point of every day existing fossilized
My thoughts of self escape the mind, in single file
Wait it's not a thing to say
Stay there is a price to pay
I can't believe I didn't see it coming
There's No way to save today
You wanna you wanna you wanna make a mark
Faded from the stone like you never existed
You wanna you wanna you wanna make a mark
Scrape it off the stone like you, never existed anyway
Wait it's not a thing to say
Stay there is a price to pay
I can't believe I didn't see it coming
There's No way to save today
You wanna you wanna you wanna make a mark
Faded from the stone like you never existed
You wanna you wanna you wanna make a mark
Scrape it off the stone like you, never existed anyway

We should not say goodbye, every time I watch you die
The only time I wanna see the Maharajah you know why
Its not a long time, every single Sunday night
Stopping me to ask to stay, but every one I say goodbye
That is the reason that I've seen her,
Come on top of my transgress, til you go and disappear
Was out the door like tomorrow was a washcloth
Drop this down yeah drop this down like the renegades of funk
Whats it gonna be its the last time anyway
Drop me down let me try to change their mercantile
Running down to the saddest place to wait till the serpent says his name
we're on a runaway train
Whats it gonna be, its so simple
We got the best one, training down the runway
Its not a funny timid feeling
Thats what you get on a nasty runaway train
I spit a rap so that the last time that I run
Check it out watch me bout, wanna see me hang around
It aint a rant about a rat without a mousepad
Check the last day safety status just like I'm a chocolate bar
Its not the ring, its not the rapping or the valentines
So I went to discoteque just to check the massive lines
Any time you're feeling dry wanna drink corona lime
See your body start to pop and let the dj make it drop

Walk into the jungle now you're living in my labyrinth
Keep you eyes peeled to be sure that you can navigate
The water and the trees and the dangers that you don't see
Cuz living in a place like this is unhealthy
Past the point of safety and you're seeking something more
Now This place is like a prison and you're longing for a door
But the jungle has a secret and it's worse than what you fear
Cuz you're dying for an exit, but you're living in a sphere
Sadly moving on this experiment is done
But the mystery you're living is the source of all the fun
So I leave you in the dark and you ask the question why...
That's the same question I'm asking

Ship of Life

Lost in the dark, I set my soul aside
And focus on the automatic life my soul just can't provide
It takes me here, it takes me there, it takes me everywhere
It takes me places where I never knew I wanted to be
So I can't step back, cuz I don't really know
What'll happen to me if I lose control
The machine thats inside, its an angry divide
I'm a bird in a cage and I can't break free
So I won't step back, and I won't say no,
And I won't let the autopilot go
Its the land of the free and we do what they want,
Is there no better way
Can't tame the pain, I let the evil slide
I tell myself Im living but I know I have been zombified
It is the fear that keeps me here and keeps my soul at bay
Hands on the steering wheel but never been selecting the way
So I can't step back, cuz I don't really know
What'll happen to me if I lose control
The machine thats inside, its an angry divide
I'm a bird in a cage and I can't break free
So I won't step back, and I won't say no,
And I won't let my conscious win control
Its the land of the free or the land of the dead?
Is there no better way

Downtown in just another basement
The band gathers and takes another sip of divine
Its not for confidence, its not for energy
Its to forget all the world that exists outside
Down here is not a place of envy
It sure beats a never ending run in the grind
So plug the pedals in, and turn the speakers up
A kickin jam is everything you need to feel alive
Let me escape it
(Watching the clock to just pass the time)
Down in the basement here
It is the last bit of freedom
Last ounce of living left behind
Let me escape it
(Stare in the mirror just to see me die)
Down in the basement here
It is the last bit of freedom
Last ounce of living left behind
Tomorrow promises a new day
But in a chair the days always appear to be the same
I feel a hole inside
Permanent soul divide
Distorted mind and chords create
A never-ending drug
Check out is always on the front page
My mind drift and wanders off of profits and shares
The clock is counting down
Hands on the prison bars
When five arrive the class is out and I can feel alive
Let me escape it
(Watching the clock to just pass the time)
Down in the basement here
It is the last bit of freedom
Last ounce of living left behind
Let me escape it
(Stare in the mirror just to see me die)
Down in the basement here
It is the last bit of freedom
Last ounce of living left behind
