Old Man

We all get self conscious, dishonest, and phony about our birthdays
We're only hoping no one knows about our earned age
"But Nurse, wait!!" See I'm certain it's a sure fate
It's hopeless, out of time, we only get the first take
My morality's at odds with my mortality
I'm caught between a rock and a hard place on a balance beam
If I fall off, fatality, I'm gone, an awful fallacy
Cowards teach us how to sleep in valor...now at ease
Never lose the youthful and fluid creative juices
Stay intuitive and true to your mood each day when you do it
Gotta dream it lucid or lose it, loosen up, losers
So do whatever you want to do, it's stupid to prove shit
We're staying young at heart, dated punk? We know the part
And play the like we're made of fucking mayhem and a soda, carbonated
Make it pop! ...Cuz coping's hard
This ain't a youngin's soul to bargain, ain't a fucking old fart
I do it all like an old man, raw like an old man
Awkward and off-putting, off with the old man
But I don't wanna be a lost and unknown man
God dammit I don't wanna be an old man
I don't wanna be an old man
I don't wanna be an old man
Do I wanna leave it all? I don't know man
But God dammit I don't wanna be an old man
Old heads hating the youth, we ain't with the trends
In a sense, playing the victims saying we're innocent
Settled, we think of every sentimental synonym
We said to friends, never regret but never ahead of them
Hours pass down fast in the hourglass
Ours last in the past, but are now amassed memories
Forgetting effigies is how we'll last
But we vowed a pact to go out attached
With this immaturity, vision obscured and we're bat-shit, bonkers
A picture imperfect, a fiction of geriatric toddlers
Dawdlers, taking our time, becoming imposters
Life'll leave us behind, passionate monsters
I do it all like an old man, raw like an old man
Awkward and off-putting, off with the old man
But I don't wanna be a lost and unknown man
God dammit I don't wanna be an old man
I don't wanna be an old man
I don't wanna be an old man
Do I wanna leave it all? I don't know man
But God dammit I don't wanna be an old man
They say age is but a number though
I guess we're ripe but we're raw folks
One day we'll wake up from our slumber's hold
Like every night's nothing, y'all know
So light the candles on our cakes, flare
And we don't care how many make it there
Cuz what's a birthday when you waste years
We're gonna make em hate it when we ain't here
I do it all like an old man, raw like an old man
Awkward and off-putting, off with the old man
But I don't wanna be a lost and unknown man
God dammit I don't wanna be an old man
I don't wanna be an old man
I don't wanna be an old man
Do I wanna leave it all? I don't know man
But God dammit I don't wanna be an old man
Shut up, I’m too old for this shit

Hidden Egos

Superego, id, and ego, hidden egos
Why don’t we know when our egos getting lethal
Superego, id, and ego, hidden egos
Superego, id, and ego, hidden egos
Hold up
Wait a second, how can everybody be another muthafucking legend
I get it, the hyperbole is evident
Evidence of anything connected is our credit then
We need a sedative, settle down, let us sin
God we gotta mellow out our hella loud embellishments
Fellas sing to the sound for the hell of it
We gotta bring it all down, but we dwell in it
Our megalomaniacal bias
Scent of a cannibal, we’ll can em all and eat em alive
No we don’t care bout a diet
Get on the bandwagon dammit, either be us or die
Believing we been divine, needing to feed on the fire
Keeping our beat up and beating up any people defying us
It’s a pain in the sinus
So we’ll let the muthafuckin migraines define us
The fucking tunnel vision consumes our cunning intuition
Intimate condition of true hurt
You heard, but we never listen to fools’ words
We’re on a mission for new dirt
We’re a malignant tumor
Soughing the drama up and begetting them rumors
Whether it’s later or sooner
Our head is gonna get in the way of seeing our true worth
Detestable eloquence, delectable hellishness
Yeah I give a shit, listen, I'm fidgeting, bitching, and itching for help with this
We’re all living in helplessness, in our pitiful selfishness
With our wicked intelligence, tell me how well we've been fixing our fellowship
Superego, id, and ego, hidden egos
Why don’t we know when our egos getting lethal
Superego, id, and ego, hidden egos
Superego, id, and ego, hidden egos
Stroke that
You know that once you get it on there ain’t no going back
A false sense of entitlement’ll hold you back
Yo relax, hoping we could chill enough to notice that
We’re not the fucking center of the universe
No galactic evidence suggesting we’re the focus act, get over that
We should focus on our Zodiac
Knowing there ain’t no one who’s supposed to back our phony ass
No everybody wanna fucking deal with you
So appreciate the honest when they’re real with you
Cuz you’re not a fucking god or goddess, really dude
You make a mockery of modesty, a silly fool
Yet we’re still fueled by hypocrisy and bending rules
Peccable, concerned with our invented truth, skeptical
Odd to call it popular, but many do, get it dude
Holy heart of God were motherfucking petty, pitiful
So don’t feed that ego, let shit starve
No don’t feed that ego, with this fashioned farce
Come on leave that ego, get that shit lost
And the minute that you get an epiphany is the minute that you’re winning
And get to beat an impassioned heart
Detestable eloquence, delectable hellishness
Yeah I give a shit, listen, I'm fidgeting, bitching, and itching for help with this
We’re all living in helplessness, in our pitiful selfishness
With our wicked intelligence, tell me how well we've been fixing our fellowship
Superego, id, and ego, hidden egos
Why don’t we know when our egos getting lethal
Superego, id, and ego, hidden egos
Superego, id, and ego, hidden egos

Even in death, you’re beside me
Wish I could see that our dream is dead and buried
Even in death, I’m sorry
Cuz the times we had were the best days of my life
The rap career that I never had's since passed
But the vivid tracks living in Matt give him a path
But this is not about the failed rapper's act
It's about the passion and masking the fact that it's a wrap
Tell ‘em what you do, tell ‘em what you'd give for it
Tell ‘em what's getting you outta bed and why you'd been born
Tell ‘em what you're doing just to do it, blissful
It's elemental, hella mental, but you live for it
Your postmodern colloquial hope's out in the open
You don’t bottle, you own it and hone positive focus
Unknown, often alone but you're so confident
You're dope rocking and rolling, a grown hobbyist
Ey, you don't do it for the status or the fame
All day, you do it cuz the habit's hard to break
No way, that you're ever gonna give it up or quit it
Go on living how you're living, you're limitless in a way, and you're saying
Even in death, you’re beside me
Wish I could see that our dream is dead and buried
Even in death, I’m sorry
Cuz the times we had were the best days of my life
You're impassioned and taking action, enacting what your passion is
Addict, fanatic, avid, and wrapped up in your bag of tricks
In fact, it's like a magical batch of happiness
Having a blast, habits are radical, laugh and bury it
They say the dream's dead, you say you've made it though
They say you're lame, but if you think it's made then ain't it so?
A game is capable and great to fill a vacant soul
I gotta say, your favorite playful way’s the way to go
It's old logic, unload what you don’t want
An emotional soul’s silent, but lo and behold, vibrance
Eroding the coal, diamonds'll show you don't grow out of it
Now that you've found it, let the ballad be a proud beginning
Ey, you don't do it for the status or the fame
All day, you do it cuz the habit's hard to break
No way, that you're ever gonna give it up or quit it
Go on living how you're living, you're limitless in a way, and you're saying
Even in death, you’re beside me
Wish I could see that our dream is dead and buried
Even in death, I’m sorry
Cuz the times we had were the best days of my life

Socially Inept
02:25
|

I got peer-diagnosed high-functioning autism
Aw shit, I'm off the wall, I don't get sarcasm
I need a minute to get it together, raucous
I'm awkward to talk with cuz something is off with him
Calm down bitch, get a fucking back rub
Why you getting pissy at me pissing in the bathtub
Matt's loved when you're laughing at his ass
Til I rain on your parade, I'm a natural disaster
...too soon? I don't mean ill by it
My sense of humor isn't humorous to everybody
I never meant to cause offense, I really empathize
Add to my regret when you get upset, I'm a better guy than that
And I promise, but not flawless
I don't want a filthy guilty conscience
I don't wanna be the dill weed, dog shit
Dick in incompetent nonsense, honest
But he's like S.I., as in socially inept
No hope? Don't know. Social? Solo
But he's like S.I., as in socially inept
No hope? Don't know. Social? Solo
I'm a borderline hoarder, more than sorta
I got an assortment of dork shit under floorboards
I’d fucking floor it in a four door Ford Explorer
Going north, but you're bored and ignoring it
I got that I've been ironic about it, no fun
I’m uncommon but I've been the bomb to no one
I've been a bother, anomaly, I'm a ghost hun
Dreams dead, but I've bottled up the hope some
So I hold back socially, censored
Shit I've said’s been censured when the rest heard
Guess I'm less than the best, I'm a pest, jerk
I'm a mess and depressed, lesson been learned
Been a nerd and inept at the convo
Interested, invested, then all goes
Straight down the potty for naughty comments that I spoke
I thought I got it, but God I'm awful with y'all folks
And I know that y'all know that I don't fucking get it and I've been bluffing
And I know that y'all know that I don't motherfucking understand nothing
But he's like S.I., as in socially inept
No hope? Don't know. Social? Solo
But he's like S.I., as in socially inept
No hope? Don't know. Social? Solo
I got it, but I'm balled up inside of me
I don't want any eyes on me, I don't wanna play
I rely on my, I rely on my facade
I got put a part of me out
And make it so all of my outer face overcompensates
I rely on my, I rely on my facade
But he's like S.I., as in socially inept
No hope? Don't know. Social? Solo
But he's like S.I., as in socially inept
No hope? Don't know. Social? Solo

Look
I’m pretty sure my father told me not to do this at one point or another
But just try to think of it this way: this is how I can apologize
I’m sorry
They say a dream is a wish that a heart makes, so what is a nightmare
My memories severed, apparently everything’s something when nothing is right there
In my night terrors, me and Matisse, I believe I’m breathing my life’s air
But I’m quite scared, right to the fight or to flight, I might be all right
But I’ve been a bad son, yeah I’ve been a bad son
And I’m wondering why they love me when nothing’s what Matt’s done
I’m aware that my lack of care and sincerity’s mad dumb
But every glaring similarity scares me in action, run
You bet I’ve been errant, so what is a family, huh?
Compare it to parenting, parents are married, embarrassing, bear with me
But I’ve been arrogant, I’m aware of it, and I’m scared to appear as a heretic
Cuz I’ve been fairly unfair in my wariness where I let irritants bury my heritage, uh
No I don’t deserve this life, I’m so imperfect, right
See I’m no assertive type, I’m below the fervent hype
You say I’m wrong, and you’re almost certainly right
Sometimes I worry about the worth of my own maturity’s life, so I make believe
Make believe, but I’m the prodigal son
Make believe, I regret a lot that I’ve done
All the dreams a memory can start
Make believe, cuz I’m the prodigal son
I’m make believing that all my past hadn’t happened, nah
And I’m make believing I’ve made it past all my past sins, ah
Yeah I admit that I’ve had this habit of acting passive
I’ve been so mad that I pit what matters against the madness in my passions, ah
I’ve been a fool, I’ve been a fool and I know it
Defiant and moody but mindful of viewers, so you woulda knew if I showed it
The more I’m secluding myself in reclusive entombment, the more I forego
I’m removing the boy that you knew as a youth when I grew up as selfish, ignoring emotion
I tried to leave and I landed somewhere East of make believe
Somewhere that I could dare to be the careless Tisse I claimed to be
A change of people and pace, and even scenery
Painfully embarrassed of my glaring lack of character
So label me a loser, label me ungrateful
I’ve been chained to these mistakes ever since the day that I done made them, out the gate
And I can’t negate what I’ve been perpetuating, nay, I’ma stay, hey
But I guess that I can’t complain if I take a leap of faith, so I’ll make believe
Make believe, but I’m the prodigal son
Make believe, I regret a lot that I’ve done
All the dreams a memory can start
Make believe, cuz I’m the prodigal son

Lately

You know the dude’s still on it, who still want it
Got it all figured out, but the dude’s still running
A noose helped me figure out my true self, hunnid
But I lose him in elements of who I’m becoming, I’m a
Ghost...and I know me the most
Low key I’m hoping to go be alone
Coping with copious soul-leeching locusts
I’m choking on jovial notions of hope
But I’m lost, and that’s all
I grin and bear it like I care about the minimum, but that’s false
But that’s Sauce, and Matt’s Oz
Cuz I’ve been hidden behind a curtain, I’m pitiful, but that’s off, yuh
I can’t say I’m not a product of my pain, ey
I gotta make it up from the bottom of my shame, ey
So if I ever get to god then I’ma blame me
But lately, lately I’ve been
Hurting myself, unsure of myself, I’ve been
Worried as hell, while I’m learning myself, ey
I can’t say I’m not a product of my pain, ey
But lately, lately
I’ve been tossing and turning, obnoxious and nervous
My thoughts say I’m always at fault for the hurt and
It’s all been a burden, so often I’m learning
That coffins and curses are all I deserve and
Know, and I don’t mean to drone
But no need to notice me skulking along
No need for phony emotions, alone
I’ve been honing the process of knowing a soul
Now I do, and I’m through
I grin and bear it, but I’m aware I’m never good enough to find truth
So I’ll lose, til I prove
It isn’t fair to pick comparisons and pin em up, and I’m you, uh
If self-reflection is a lesson, let it lend a hand
I can’t accept the dead surrender of a better man
What’s unacceptable’s a blessing, I don’t give a damn
So why’m I questioning myself
Not this again!
If self-reflection is a lesson, let it lend a hand
I can’t accept the dead surrender of a better man

Take Me Back

I don't give a god damn what gods they see
The Anunnaki are the gods to me
We call it faith, but it's all belief, so
The Anunnaki are the gods to me, yo
I miss the kiss of abduction, the bliss and the rush when
I’m lifted above this unthinkable mud pit
A swift interruption, a distant seduction
I’m wishing and wondering if one’ll ever take me back
Sometimes I’m feeling like my memories are fed to me
And nothing I remember’s ever meant to be, let it be
Many can’t relate to me, I’m of a different pedigree
A better me, I’m meta, beam up, blessing people dead to me
Scary noises seeing spots, paranoid I’m being watched
I’m only feeling at ease when I’m breathing, deep in thought
But no one sees what I’m seeing so they believe me not
Cuz seeing is believing, and I’m leaving all these people shocked
Most deceive and have been perverting what it’s worth
Living ancient misinterpreted versions of what occurred
I can’t connect to sermons, I’m burdened by what I’ve heard
Though I’m sure I’m meant to learn what I’ve learned on this fucking earth
I don't give a god damn what gods they see
The Anunnaki are the gods to me
We call it faith, but it's all belief, so
The Anunnaki are the gods to me, yo
I miss the kiss of abduction, the bliss and the rush when
I’m lifted above this unthinkable mud pit
A swift interruption, a distant seduction
I’m wishing and wondering if one’ll ever take me back
Back up to the Mass in the mothership
How I lust for the passionate touch again
Through telepathic entrapment and subtle hints
Everything I’ve been through is back up in front again
And nothing measures up, nothing ever comes close
Cuz I love it yo, stuck in my banality I covet those
Overdoses in moments when reality is shunned
There’s nothing better on this dead earth, it’s heaven up close
And most people, they rarely relate
They can barely contain their disdain for where I’m astray
It’s like the best of situations is I’m carried away
And so I hope and pray the aliens’ll take me today, ey
You say I’m delusional, I say I’ve got focused eyes
And All I fucking ask is you approach it with an open mind
But cuz some crazy people say it, you hear only lies
So divisive, polarizing conflict, I cope ostracized
I don't give a god damn what gods they see
The Anunnaki are the gods to me
We call it faith, but it's all belief, so
The Anunnaki are the gods to me, yo
I miss the kiss of abduction, the bliss and the rush when
I’m lifted above this unthinkable mud pit
A swift interruption, a distant seduction
I’m wishing and wondering if one’ll ever take me back
I often ponder the lost knowledge of all the gods
All but forgotten omniscient wanderers of falling stars
Art and philosophy’s part of me, follow my own heart
Honest to god, it’s the gods who the Anunnaki are
The origin of all faith, the core of it’s all strange
Ignoring for false fates, and so we’re a long way
From forging our small stake in the universe, our place
We’ve gotta learn from the start of this all across space
I don't give a god damn what gods they see
The Anunnaki are the gods to me
We call it faith, but it's all belief, so
The Anunnaki are the gods to me, yo
I miss the kiss of abduction, the bliss and the rush when
I’m lifted above this unthinkable mud pit
A swift interruption, a distant seduction
I’m wishing and wondering if one’ll ever take me back
