its 8 oclock that means its time to set me free minimum security penitentiary my mind was in a cage for a whole day and now im feeling overwhelmed all i need is peace and a little time to breathe also give me chaos and a padded room to scream emotional oppression has me torn apart at every single seam and its enough to make a healthy boy like me burn my guts out with booze smoke my memory away eat like shit and start my day off right with camels with my coffee i dont think that you know how hard all this is on me being someone else is not an easy task you see livelihood a good excuse works best when kept in total secrecy time will tell if im able to keep up this facade may be i can keep some friends willing to play along 30 years to life doesnt sound so bad when its already passed its even easier if youre already dead

another night to set right the inner workings of our minds in the garage its the next morning we were supposed to stop by 9 validating each other until everyone else is wrong critiquing our shitty music projects listening to gwar i dont want to know anyone else im so satisfied in my counter point that i might drink myself sick and ride my bike into an obelisk that yellow thing on salt creek bridge i could stay up all night drinking talking about things air guitar along with pantera songs while you scream theres something so fucking magical about the way that you see life live deeply in your community music one year at a time i never dreamed about how much my perspective could be changed theres october rust accumulating on my bike chain how could i ever know it would be life changing a simple ride across town on a warm summer night 16 years in the making but good things come to those who wait i could stay up all night drinking talking about things air guitar along with pantera songs while you sing i swear to paimon we could be the kings of this fucking town until they light the streets and close everything else well be around i could stay up all night

sometimes my friend likes to page through the yearbook of his mind carefully taking the time to remind me of every kid who died and i wonder what the point is most of them i didnt like but that is neither here nor there the point is that the ratio is all off and so something must be shared whether its parents or teachers or coaches or something intangible that place was fucked up would they tell me it was worth it 4 solid years of peaking early for glory a life is a small price to pay im sorry you cant speak ill ask again for those out there who know why they fucked their lives up and they died early theres a pattern here somewhere bury them with their class rings and in their lettermans to aid the investigation all my friends from around town agree there mustve been something in the water what does it matter would they tell me it was worth it 4 solid years of peaking early for glory a life is small price to pay im sorry
