lyrics

Many Miles From Where U R Sleepin'
time passes as we leaping
16 hours ahead
now we are speaking'
I know people
wishing' to not be
alive this evening'

Luna said she
rather be dead
Since life's too hard
She rather fly
amongst the stars

A butterfly she be
As I'm made of Stardust
Thinking' of my siblings
I'm wishing' for the harvest

The system's fiction
money talks
and art walks
Blame me for
all the thoughts
that tore us apart

But it's still
Love 2 the 9's
in all of this
What are your demons
to this school psychologist

Nothing'
not kneeling'
I'm running
for office
just to change
what they've been punting'
so often

Many Miles From Where U R Sleepin'
I stay dreaming'
over this weekend

And if I could
I would be near
your breathing'
and understand
all of your feelings'

But see, I'm fake
I know I was a weakling
I couldn't handle
all of your dealings'

And if I tried
it would all be a lie
You are far too shy
for this type of thrill ride

I've seen kids
cut themselves
to feel themselves
talking' bout life
being' cut and dry
Their cuts have dried

Anger subsides
and then I was reminded
of the pain of living
just to die

See,
I'm the type
who needs one too
many friends
to try to distance
myself from
the thoughts
of my own end

Only this can conquer
my pain
Xanax and panic attacks
are strange bed
fellows we claim

Addiction
claimed many of
family members
but my mentor
still loves to lecture

Using' research
not developed
for the likes of I
The privileges
that folks will
often deny

I see the image
of my daughter
whenever I close my eyes
Afraid to not find a wife
who'd wanna multiply

Just as I hurt when
someone looking'
nothing' like me
is shot due to
their mental faculties

I wish you'd
feel pain when someone
looking' like I
is shot wearing' a seat belt
a different kind of drive by

How do I stay calm
as you lecture
Mean literature like
it was spoken
over the Twitter

Mentor
I'm many miles
away at this stage
Thinking' of LA
and all the artists
who stay away...
