lyrics

Bound as all hell, everyone to a cell
I’m further off in the distance with abominable yell
I can’t sleep, unaffected by restlessly counting sheep
Sandman gonna come but I collect the reaps
You’re betting on a means, i play for keeps
I embody these lines, stenographer got a key
On the kitchen floor sippin mimosas, 2 AM too far gone to hold composure
Young cowboys die guns in their holsters
Is this the world that we’re supposed to live in?
We watched it grow up and go on without us
In my mind i’m inclined the rewind the wasted hours

I’m 23 now, 9 an hour’s my wage
By the time i’m 25, I need at least 40 K
By the time i’m 28, a wife and kid on the way
If i don’t get it in time, then mark me dead in the grave

Who they expect to do them proud?
I’m just an isle in the sea of the crowd, i depart
I’m not the first to make a witty remark in a bar
With all the animals coupled up like they were on the ark
Cause you ain’t finding a mate, if you ain’t making it rain
It’s a shame i can’t relate to having biblical names
I found a peace, in learning what i was about
If moral reef ain’t the truth then cast me out god
Too many leaders they can’t follow my wit
So take your bullshit and go wallow in it
Every time i wake up my wallet’s a little thinner
Eating quesadillas every breakfast lunch and dinner
Clothes looking decrepit, if it ain’t fit then i stretched it
Dissed and dismissed, i’m getting desperate
MP3 downloads, ten of diamonds in hand
Angel hair on the stove, i got simple demands
