Uh, let's go, uh, yeah, uh
ย
I slip away, uh, I find my way back
My back's strong, watch my posture
But then watch as that posture becomes pasta
I slip away
Yeah, listen, uh, I never put the pen away or come close to doing so
Maybe if I found a better way then I'd do it though
A better way to teach myself about myself
A better way to reach myself, then I'd do it though
A better way to exercise my mind of demons
In seemingly simultaneous times than usual
Rather than an open casket at my funeral
I'd rather open up my notes after you to look
'Cause if you took the greatest, biggest moments of my life
And the worst earth-shattering moments and stepped aside
And observed them like a soundtrack playing over time
Wait a minute, you can, and that's what I'm trying to imply
That I'm not trying to imply that this isn't for the fans
Of the culture, 'cause it is, I'm just living inside
What I've created like a memory, that's the best way to say it
Manufactured memories in my factory, you can play in
A factory breaking down every break and every slip
It's every time I fall down on my face and bust a lip
It's all the challenges I try to embrace
And come to grips with what's at stake instead of trying to escape
At least attempt instead of caving like the crews
Whenever danger interviews you, trying to find a starring role
But suddenly removes you, you can subtly refuse the opportunity
But usually your resume is perfect, call it irony the musical
I slip away, uh, I find my way back
My back's strong, watch my posture
But then watch as that posture becomes pasta
I slip away, uh, yeah, uh, I slip away, uh
I find my way back, my core's like a dog downward
But then I slip on my own sweat that poured downward
I slip away, uh
I never let an opportunity go if opportune
I can get consumed assuming something that I can do
And move on it like it's meant for me and nobody else
And I won't even think for a second that I can lose
Some would say amazing, you can aim high as the sky's limit
Start an enterprise from a lemon, start a lemonade business, yeah
But I'm in conflict with myself
The never-ending paper chase is only changes your wealth
Never-ending races with rats, bracing for traps, aiming for stacks
Giving almost half of what you have back towards tax
It's no wonder why so many hustle under tables
Rather be in metal cages than in mental cages
Blood pressure raises, they win if we fight for raises with razors
And cut the next man down, forget that we are neighbors
And struggling in health, it's dangerous how they play us
They pin one another against each other for ages
I've been on a first name basis with thirst
The wealthy act like home plate is a foot from where first base is
It's not though, it's light years away
It's head scratching, six packs of light beers a day
It's uninsured stimulus plans and crooked teeth
I've seen both sides and no side's a better way
To love thyself takes time and you will wear many hats
But there is no price for happiness that you can pay, uh
I slip away, uh, I find my way back
My back's strong, watch my posture
But then watch as that posture becomes pasta
I slip away, uh, yeah, uh, I slip away, uh
I find my way back, my core's like a dog downward
But then I slip on my own sweat that poured downward
I slip away, uh, I slip away
