Discouraged you You always have an excuse not to want to So we're giving up on you Without fail, don't stop Without fail, don't stop Educational you Never practice what you preach It's not like you To listen when anyone else speaks You'll never ever get smart enough As if it'd help you to grow up You will get caught up In every thorn, branch and dream possible Without fail, don't stop Without fail, don't stop Motivational you Drugged down into a ditch It's not what you're used to Now that your feet are at the lowest point of view Without fail, don't stop Without fail, don't stop Your nails will never grow long enough To help you climb out

We need more snakes Like we need more trash We need good people And a lot less rats Cut and copy tracks Sample thee Make an example out of me I'd be a fool if I ever thought this was all your fault Surrounded myself with other's issues Breathe life into the rues, we never had a clue We need more snakes Like we need more trash We need good people And a lot less rats Act like you know That I'm mind reading you Cut-off and copy acts I built it, destroyed it Starting new, this time with scar tissue Numb or dumb, the pain is done Smarter or informed, the lessons learned We need more snakes Like we need more trash We need good people And a lot less rats Act like you know That I'm mind reading you Cut-off and copy acts We need more fakes Like you need more cash, you had a good laugh Five years it set me back You forgave, I'll remember sleeping outside in December We need more snakes Like we need more trash We need good people And a lot less rats Cut and copy tracks Sample thee Make an example out of me

Coasting 04:42
Who's better off without you A better team, a better scene But you're certain, it's all out of steam Who's better off with wants than needs Give up the scenery and materialistic things But all are so pleasing Slow down, coast it out You gotta slow down and coast it out It's quiet here without news I have better dreams all seemingly And I'm uncertain how I even get to sleep Slow down, coast it out You gotta slow down and coast it out A cup of tea in the quiet in the evening Not a singular sound can disagree with the feeling No onslaught of information Just the morning coffee and inspiration Slow down, coast it out Slow down and coast it out

there was one thing we needed we realized and still proceeded it was all without fact or truth i was told one more reason “minimize the situation” enough stimulation to make you blue it’s not optional it’s a lack from what to choose adventure, but adventure is gone here(gone here) happiness, but joy starts to dwindle into fear love, but love can only be from someone near time, but time is never wrong here(wrong here) money, but debt starts to dwindle into fear family and friends can only be someone dear a lot to see experienced people to meet happiness, laughing, crying, hugging and emotions to be an attitude for understanding the human need silenced demanding a mind analyzing self lost in an infinity a number of fragments shimmering when you tie yourself down it’s impossible to feel around nerves indicating more than they’re signaling ideas and choices no universe or god remorses removing tensions and all formalities zero expectancies

Talking and walking and sleeping Dreaming and thinking and wishing Waiting and hating not going Doing and leaving is pleasing Loving and learning and trying Writing and rhyming great timing Fighting then binding not hiding Dodging or colliding If you have some problems you shouldn't keep them in But you shouldn't go telling all of your friends Get a paper journal and an ink pen You will feel better in the end Deep breathing is relieving and needed Moments of pausing not flaunting Sharing feelings of lostness Relate with others in darkness Distance with selfcare be aware of the warnings Romanticizing with sadness Ignored adroit solutions is tactless If you have some problems you shouldn't keep them in But you shouldn't go telling all of your friends Get a paper journal and an ink pen You will feel better in the end If you have some problems you shouldn't keep them in But you shouldn't go telling all of your friends Get a paper journal and an ink pen You will feel better in the end Delete post Delete post Delete post Delete your post If you have a problem please don't keep it in Try and find that one good friend Get a notebook and a pen Come back tomorrow stronger, try again If you have some problems you shouldn't keep them in But you shouldn't go telling all of your friends Get a paper journal and an ink pen You will feel better in the end

Tell me what you want to be known for Tell me what you want to be known for The oil in the ocean and the plastic at the bottom of the sea If it was you who contributed to this can you please help me find a drink You who put all of the grey clouds in the sky Please stop driving your tanks to lady's night Tell me what you want to be known for Tell me what you want to be known for Tell me what you want to be known for Tell me what you want to be known for
