Punctured lungs in my chest but insist that i breathe right - 
Stitch it closed with the knife - that's still in me from last night -

One third's 13 with no dash -
And one word drifts on the wings of smoke ash -
I, see the phones raised, click, & stroll past -
I, never thought that i'd become the car crash -
I, never thought that i'd become the car crash
I, i'm in this steel & glass - just shuffle past -

Makin wings from a few feathers...
Wonderin whether...
You could pluck a few & help me get this new outfit together...
I mean (come on..)
You could glue the pieces into places for flight -
I learned from Icarus - i leave midnight -
That's right -

Spin the wheel - buy a ticket to ride -
Then warm yourself upon the flames 
of all these get well cards on fire -
It's like, No one wanted you to see this face -
Put your coat on, i think it's time we leave this place -
So it's so long...

Maybe you'll remember me in earnest -
When deciding if i'm worm food or fuel for a furnace -
Learning nothing from this life but how to tear myself to bits -
I'll leave an earth that never cared to see a god that don't exist...

I ain't the only one to see this clear -
Tryna watch the rain fall through a symphony of tears -
Yeah, how'd i get here - dirty and dusty -
Living life through a teloscopic lense thats rusty -
And i'm, thankful that i got a girl to love me -
And i, wonder when im gone if she will discuss me -
And i, close my eyes - float past the moon -
And if not now, then where how and soon! -
Count the cracks on the wall to my tomb -
If anything i'm tryna wash the bitter taste of this spoon -
Get exhumed - from a past live -
Balencing to be in the present -
Bite my tongue tryna battle stage 4 aggression - 	

and a lesson i never learnt was to hedge my bets -
Threw it all on 32 black - and next time red -
I'm the type to carry eggshells when it's best i tread -
I lost everything but still i kept my head -


Take a lighter to the wick and then shout -
As i hold a moonlit vigil with my head up in the clouds -
Day dawns and the candle flickers out - 
I'm just another dead guy with dry mouth -
Maybe somehow that's what it's all about
Another ashtray - 
Flowing with a hopeless cascade -
Of emancipated lungs headin for the last base -
In a ball field like a masquerade -
But you have to pay - and why not? -
Cuz if lifes just a game then you took your shot - (pay me)
But you have to pay - and why not? -
Cuz if lifes just a game then you took your shot - (pay me)
(pay me)
...(pay me)
