lyrics

Had a lucky
but I dropped it the other
day
now I'm hungry
fucking coughing
won't go away

taking the lint
from my pocket
had a thought
but I just forgot it

had a headache
saw a medic
didn't go away
automatically
assumed
I would never fade

taking the lint
from my pocket
had a thought
but I just forgot it
taking the lint
from my pocket
now i'm ready to
rock it!

Without my words
I'd be dead
without lyrics
in my head
I think I'd wither
with a shiver
I'd be gone in the wind
without music
I'd be lame
silence is violence
I claim
I've waited
so long
to bust out and sing

wrote a letter
with a feather
just to know I could
something tells
me and brother
aren't doing good

taking the lint
from my pocket
had a thought
but I just forgot it


doing science
in defiance
of the teachers
who thought I was
a bone fide retard

taking the lint
from my pocket
had a thought
but I just forgot it
had a thought
but I just forgot it
and now I'm ready
to rock it

Without my words
I'd be dead
without lyrics
in my head
I think I'd wither
with a shiver
I'd be gone in the wind
without music
I'd be lame
silence is violence
I claim
I've waited
so long
to bust out and sing

why do you think
I had liberty spikes
at age thirteen
i'm not bragging
i'm just saying
look at the attention I was craving
even back then
way back when
when it felt like options were open
to me and my best friends


Without my words
I'd be dead
without lyrics
in my head
I think I'd wither
with a shiver
I'd be gone in the wind
without music
I'd be lame
silence is violence
I claim
I've waited
so long
to bust out and sing
