Life's a Trip

I'm headed to the country
to bide some time
gonna do some mushrooms
and lose my mind
I've got a thousand reasons
to wanna stay in bed
I gotta sweat out the demons
living in my head
go running naked
in a summer rain
find a higher power
on the astral plane
I'm headed to the forest
to find the truth
I'm gonna climb a mountain
I'm gonna eat the fruit
from the tallest tree
at the highest peak
I'll peel back the layers
so I can finally see
create a new connection
between the earth and me
my cliche journey
to finding inner peace
I'm headed to the city
to live my life
back to my problems
it cuts like a knife
it all comes rushing back
in a moment of grief
I never found enlightenment
in that Air Bnb
all I did was run away
and numb the pain
doing psychedelic drugs
trying to trick my brain
into thinking differently
without a real change
so once I get back home
I'm still the same

Man of Action

It's going down
I'm in the mood
around the town
I'm in the groove
it's for my people
I will provide
I grab my bags
go for a drive
it's a thrill
yea, it's a ride
I'm running errands
you get the gist
I ask my partner to write a list
I thank her dearly for the assist
forget the carrots and she'll be pissed
there is no duty that will be missed
you've never seen it done quite like this
Today I'm a man of action
I've got sufficient funds
while you're at home relaxing
I'm getting shit done (x3)
Fill up my gas tank
i'm making stops
I got supplies
from different shops
if you don't like it
then call the cops
I got the dry cleaning and groceries
I turn my checklist to make believe
I mowed the lawn
I raked the leaves
i'm doing meal prep
I'm making quiche
preheat the oven to 350
nobody gets it done quite like me
Today I'm a man of action
I've got sufficient funds
while you're at home relaxing
I'm getting shit done (x3)

How to Get Stoned
03:06
|

|
they're having trouble getting through to you
it doesn't matter what the hell they do
you just seem content
to snooze the day away
and when you wake
you put that bong right to your face
and I know
this only ends one way
it's getting hard
to see you drift away
you can't get anything done
you sleep away the sun
you don't know how to stay afloat
but you sure know how to get stoned
you've gone hermit mode
you've gone inside
and you're too young
to waste away your life
you're chasing a feeling
you won't ever find
cause you're lost in the fog
in your sailboat mind
and I know
this only ends one way
it's getting hard
to see you drift away
it's like you're not even there
it's like you don't even care
you don't know how to stay afloat
but you sure know how to get stoned

Wish I was Water
02:54

I wish I was water
the damage is done
I wish I was water
I wish I could run
I'd turn into a puddle
I'd head for the creek
flow into the river
that spills out in the sea
I'd sink down to the darkest depths
nothing can live there
eventually rising up
towards the fresh air
evaporate into the sky
become a cloud and kiss space
then rain down on everyone
back from whence I came
I'd become a puddle
I'd become the rain
I'd fill up the basin
and circle the drain
I'd leave through the pipes
and go with the flow
beneath the city
under the road
in every direction
until I'm spread free
away from these people
I don't wanna see
'cause if I was water
water under a bridge
I wouldn't have to face
all the things that I did

Dreams
05:30

I had a dream last night
that I was flying
and I was so high
was this heaven?
I started falling
but there was no ground
for me to smash into a million bits
I'm like a rocket
hurling down a bottomless pit
and I'm just along for the ride
that's when you turned to me and said
nobody cares about your dreams
no one wants to hear your fantasies
nobody wants to know
your subconscious desires
so just keep it to yourself
nobody cares about your dreams
nobody cares about your dreams
except you
I had a dream last night
that I met two girls
and they were beautiful
they thought I was funny
and I felt invincible
we hit the town
and we went dancing
under the neon sign
it's like there was no time
and kept swirling till the morning light
that's when you turned to me and said
nobody cares about your dreams
no one wants to hear your fantasies
nobody wants to know
your deepest and darkest desired
so just keep it to yourself
nobody cares about your dreams
nobody cares about your dreams
except you
I had a dream last night
that I was in a classroom
and I was naked
and nobody noticed
until the teacher called my name
and they were pointing
and they were laughing
I put my hand up to my mouth
and a hundred teeth fell out
that's when you turned to me and said
nobody cares about your dreams
no one wants to hear your fantasies
nobody wants to know
your fears and your desires
so just keep it to yourself
nobody cares about your dreams
nobody cares about your dreams
except you
except you
except you
