Middle Way 04:46
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 04:33
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
