Perverseness 02:22
Committed to failure and self-destructive behavior. No Longer trusted surrounded by enablers. Rusty nails on coffins. Arrangements for a hearse is what life entails when one makes changes for the worse. I've learned and I've grown. I've reaped what I've sown. Still cannot regret all the chances that I've blown. Now's the time to take advantage. And just remember there's no need to panic. Standing fully clothed in a rainstorm. Gambling your last pocket of change. One last inhale of nicotine. It's the drive that steers me. Heading down roads with turns I can't avoid. Continuing with habits that can destroy. We think about our purpose and discover that it's worthless. Absurd is all that I can say. Can we please see the light today? Moving forward with calloused hands. We Stand!

How cool is the car? Two bucket seats just for me and my girlfriend. It's got the feelin' of a-Mars-roaming flashing by outside your passenger window. 1973 was a good year for Nissan for anyone who ever dreamed of driving an orange car. 1973 - cruising around town in my Datsun that I left at a cemetery. The legend of the beer bandit is tied to that getaway car. Drug running, octane fueled and 17. You know what I mean? 1973 was a good year for Nissan for anyone who ever dreamed of driving an orange car. 1973 - cruising around town in my Datsun that I left at a cemetery. Hauling ass, gotta get to class over dew glazed roads, I'd grown uncomfortable in my lane. I look to merge if there's one thing that I learned, from a turn-only emerged a speeding driver just the same. I spent all summer paying off the traffic poll that my beauty took between the eyes when I lost control and ran over my Dad's good friend's son's headstone. (triple possessive - a'int that something?) He lost his life on a motor motor bike. 1973 was a good year for Nissan for anyone who ever dreamed of driving an orange car. 1973 - cruising around town in my Datsun that I left at a cemetery.

Close To You 01:30
What do you do when you don't know what to say? As the world spins around does it make your day or does it cover you in tears? Is it where you harbor all your fears? IS it where you count away those years and just wait to die? Why should we sigh when the whole world is alive? I'll recount your blessings if you recount mine. We can gather all our peers and we can toast ourselves a cheers. We can enjoy together the years. Hey what do you say? All I want to do is be close to you. What do you do when your whole world is a lie? I've told you once I told you a thousand times. They're all an open book. You can read them if you look. So many people get mistook and the whole world keeps spinning round. Why bother and look back now we're all trouble bound. I'll tell you where you can find me - in the lost and found. All those nights that I just shook and when the judge throws me the book. My best friend tells me, "You're cooked". They never see things my way. All I want to do is be close to you.

Always waiting for the final second. I need a special kind of lesson. Aware I've received rewards in the past. It's difficult to handle important task. Sometimes it's already too late. What's approaching is beyond me. The situation's getting worse and worse. It's hard to tell what to accomplish first. Procrastination! I can't seem to move. Constantly speaks to soon. Just want to sleep till noon! Can't focus at the task at hand. Tonight I can't hold a pen. All my material possessions should be sold as is. Sometimes productivity can be so boring. Much rather be in my bed still snoring!
