Middle Way
Can't have cops
if you don't have crime
what the hell is space
if you don't have time
never seen a flower
wasn't rooted in mud
If you never feel hate
you'll never know love
don't waste your time
thinkin bout survival
you'll pass up life
then face your rival
can't see light
without dark
who's superman
without his alter Clark
you'll never end the journey
if it never ever starts
never ever bleed
if you didn't have heart
Do you have a lighter?
l think you need a spark
your swimming through life
always worried bout the shark
there couldn't be a whole
if it wasn't full of parts
life would be dull
with no question marks
can you hear silence
if a dog never barked
can you stop violence
people sleep in the park
how will you ever run
if you won't even walk
never get there
if you don't depart
Can't see the show
from the parking lot
should probably go
if you're ever gonna stop
so take a deep breath
so deep you could pop
set this on fire
make sure this shits hot
It's at least getting warmer
it was cold at the start
want to give melanoma
straight from our sunspots
It's got me feeling like a star
(like i'm my own damn solar system)
always present
always burning
spinning right here
in the middle
(chorus)
always here
never there
always right
not always fair
sometimes cloudy
sometimes clear
we get rowdy
or just sit and stare
plan the day or
or not even care
or live in the sky
like atmosphere
don't accept pressure
from peers
or sell your soul
like an auctioneer
it's always now
so commandeer
control the gears
of this big ol sphere
but never adhere
to the masks you wear
they're not the real you
throw your hands in the air
throw some trash on the ground
make an indian tear
it's all part of the whole
even murder, hate and fear
karma's a bitch
keep enemies near
you're only really rich
once the mind disappears
you can wish for a glitch
by the end of the year
but if your not in the now
then you can't be sincere
you can live with a myth
worship idols my dear
i'ma shoot for satori
judgement days almost here
just waves you're riding
be brave be silent
the truth is your dying
theres no need for crying
when its time to divide
get rid of dead weight
not waiting in line
reincarnate
right past
heavens gate
it's got me floating off the ground
(check me out ma, i'm levitating)
no way to teach it
just got to feel it
it's somewhere
right there in the middle

Funky 2.0
Chorus
(I know I've got to find)
Some way to never die
I'll be searching everywhere
Just to live a million years and
(I know I've got to find)
Some way to never die
I want to live forever baby
Took a big swig from the fountain of youth
Tried to tell a reporter and she didn't want the scoop
She just acted all aloof, unaware of the truth
Well, I'll watch her funeral from the mausoleum roof
See, i'm not gonna die, blessing and curse that I got
and I never tell a lie, unless i'm put on the spot
As if I'm the only one who enjoys burning a bridge
If I was you'd never leave the crummy towns where you live
I'm no superhero but I do save the day
but I never save a dollar, goes for a lottery play
been around 10,000 years still never once won the pot
but I did once rob a bank and Al Capone had me shot
I just stood my ground, should have sent the look on his face
I lit a cigarette, and then I torched the place
See, that's a rare exception because life's mostly a bore
Feeling like Sisyphus, headed up the hill once more
Chorus
(I know I've got to find)
Some way to never die
I'll be searching everywhere
Just to live a million years and
(I know I've got to find)
Some way to never die
I want to live forever baby
ob la di ob la da, life goes on and on and on
and on and on and on and on and on and on
Been the same old shit since jesus been gone
It's like 2000 years later, I'm glad the Mayans were wrong
because if everybody died i'd be left all alone
and the city get real quiet when nobody's home
And on the last day it'll be me and them beetles
trying to find replacements for our record player needles
Been around so long you'd think I'd seen everything
but I've been glued to the tube since the fifties
I haven't seen a thing
I'm obsessed with soaps and reality TV
Sometimes it seems those shows
are more alive than me
So just hand me the popcorn because I've got and eternity to go
taking the path of least resistance i'm just going with the flow
one day i'll commit divine suicide, but only once I reach the top
time to hit the reset button, big bang right back to the start.
Chorus
(I know I've got to find)
Some way to never die
I'll be searching everywhere
Just to live a million years and
(I know I've got to find)
Some way to never die
I want to live forever baby
(I know I've got to find)
That infinite place
where the light always shines
i'm centered in it
its right here it's mine
I've just got to live forever
cause i'm running out of time

Some Sort of Confession
V1
I bear the weight of my heavenly ascension
I write my own rules
and then I bend them
not to mention
my dissection
of your every convention
I'll shove it in their face
but still lose your attention
and it's depressing
to learn the lesson
that you can't teach people shit
and that your destined
to be treated like a witch
in a western
starring Charlton Heston
I'd have better luck
getting the pope
to give me his blessing
theres a message in question
of acceptance
that I think I should reference
before you serve me
my life sentence
it goes don't prevent us
from self expression
we every word you speak
is some sort of confession
so please quit stressing
it matters see
may take some self reflection
to expose those fallacies
in your direction
in your strategies
it takes gravity
to hold you to this earth
and to not lose your sanity
V2
I bear the weight
of my every decision
I draw my own maps
and then I ditch them
I like to take ideas
and then
I switch them
no laws or protocols ever
lock me in a prison system
I just let my light shine
through my prism
whether I'm working on a verse
or just cooking in the kitchen
if you need
written permission
or some esoteric description
to get on with your living
then I think theres
something missing
and I don't even know
what to think
so I don't
and just leave
everything blank
and open up
so it can change in a blink
and i'm not stuck
in the clutch
trying to justify my
missing link
I distinctly
remember that
theres nothing to remember
V3
The negative power of positive thinking
has got me positively
negative
but much more distinctive
feeling undivided
and little more instinctive
theres some dots i've been connecting
and here's the points that i've been linking
I'm the mountain
i'm the river
not a stone that will sink
not a drop in the ocean
I'm the whole damn drink
and i'm strong like the city
see me subtle like the wind
i'm the student I'm the teacher
the beginning and the end
