and here I go again, again with this verse shit I write lyrics faster than I can rehearse it I wonder why I ever bothered to learn cursive binding me to contracts that get me cursing I understand I'm probably not a very good person But I wonder why people think that I'm never worth it I really do think that I'm worth it after all Just look at how my ambitions stand so tall I'm gonna touch that rock that orbits the earth even if I have to give up my entire net worth and I know I don't have a lot to my name and I know I don't have a lot to my brain and I know that I often act a bit too inane and I am pretty god damnn sure that I am not insane you best believe I'll be moonwalking soon on the sea of tranquility next to craters and dunes some call it a pipedream, that I'm reaching too far Fuck all of y'all, man I'm reaching for the stars and I will keep reachign till my arms fucking ache and I will never pull back unless I'm sure it's too late I swear to god before I die x4 Imma touch the moon x4 You gonna see me up there with hadfield dawg and we're gonna be rapping about major tom but regardless of that, my true intentions are lunar I'll reach it before I perish but hopefully sooner if you are a moon landing denier, I'm a believer if you do not think we went stop playing me on your reciever We have the proof, we walked the moon six times and We have the truth, they have nothing to hide and it's what truly inspires me to live life I gaze up at the moon almost every single night and the fact that we have been there is so crazy and I'm just sitting here day after day, lazy I promise that I'm gonna turn my life around quick Rap my way out of retail to start doing this shit if ever given the chance to go into space I'd give up my possesions and and I'd never replace some call it a pipedream, that I'm reaching too far Fuck all of y'all, man I'm reaching for the stars and I will keep reachign till my arms fucking ache and I will never pull back unless I'm sure it's too late I swear to god before I die x4 Imma touch the moon x4 I swear to god before I die, even tho I don't believe in her I swear I cannot lie, I am not a leader

Leader 03:07
I like to stand and that makes people think that I'm so fuckign sketchy thats why I like to work retail because I feel like its destiny I work that shit every single day feelin like I'm wastin my life away I do this shit cuz its all I know and it helps me pay my bills at home and it's not a home, it's just a house just a place where I can go about writing music, crying, and sleep that's my life man, rinse and repeat Still hung up over some fucking bitch and I don't know why I can't quit She doesn't mean a god damn thing to me but she still haunts all my fucking dreams but oh well man I'm moving on gonna get back into pokemon oh wait, I'm already there tho got a perfect IV party bro I walked the floor with the elite 4 and I'm not gonna give a fuck anymore I say that now, it's just a lie I'm acting tough in front of all you guys and that right there's just being honest Do not think that I'm being modest I'm not modest, no not at all No idea how my horse got that tall some days I feel like Ganondorf and some days I just feel like a dork I was always picked to be a leader do I look like some merciless defeater They say that I look like a leader, man I'm not a leader, you understand? I am not a leader I am not a leader, no I am not a leader I just wanna follow you you are not a leader you are not a leader, no I assumed you were because the trust I threw at you

All Good 04:51
It's all good It's all good Got everything I need I have all that I want I have my life and me You come back into my life, and tell me that you love me Then you up and leave a month later girl, isn't that lovely? recent texts that I've sent you, you've never responded The memories we made together are leaving me haunted because You left all your shit here, you left all your shit here it made no sense to do that, if you just planned to leave dear I Wish you were honest, and just told me what you think because Being ignored literally makes my heart fucking sink but I really tried, I really tried, to make what we had work and I felt like you did too, but you left me with a smirk and I took care of you when you weren't you and you were weak but then you just decided to leave me in a couple of weeks You told me it was because of peronsal problems apparently I am unable to help you solve them I'm sorry if you think I'm not the one Please just tell me so I can run Far away Far away Maybe again someday maybe again someday Then.... I have my life and me, and that doesn't mean I need you I'm doing fine by myself girl, nothing's really new Except my place is a mess, and I'm a mess, and my futon is still down hopeless pipedreams that you'll suddenly come back around I get lost in lost, every word just reminds me of you and it forces me to push next to listen to something new still can't even make it all the way through the end of magic You asked my what vic meant and it makes me feel tragic I don't know the answer; I don't know the answer Your simle question makes my simple mind banter I don't know the answer; I don't know the answer Your simle question makes my simple mind banter I tell myself it's because of personal problems apparently you are unable to help me solve them I'm sorry if you think that I'm no fun Let me break this off so that you can run Far away Far away maybe again someday maybe again someday Then...

Blues 03:03
and I'm not saying that I have the blues don't know why I live the way that I choose Not happy with me or the things that I do here's for hoping this storm just moves on through x2 I swear I have this problem that I just can't solve and I can't quite put my finger on the issue yall And I'm not saying I don't know what the problem is my problem is I always give out too many compliments And that makes people that that I'm so nice Then they fucking come to me for all their advice and oh yeah that makes so much sense, of course you're better off with marriage advice from a Man who's divoreced The truth is I'm an asshole at heart ask all those girls I met online about that part They knew it well, and I fucking regret it But it's always too late once you've already said it but oh well, I'm moving on with my life and I'm not really sorry if I formented strife not saying any of the things that I do are right but don't expect me to change my MO overnight and I'm not saying that I have the blues don't know why I live the way that I choose Not happy with me or the things that I do here's for hoping this storm just moves on through x2 I give a lot of advice that I can never take I really should start listening for heaven's sake It's really funny how I tell people what to do but can't even listen to myself, sad but true I don't even know why they listen to me I don't know why they think I'm the epitome of life, love, truth and knowledge that's a lot of faith for somebody who dropped out of college and that's just me being real with y'all and I'm not gonna sit here and act so tall cuz I know now that people are faker than ever and here's me telling you that its gonna get better fuck yeah man, I'm moving on with my life I promise I'll try harder not to forment strife hopefully some of the things that I do start being right but don't expect me to change my MO overnight and I'm not saying that I have the blues don't know why I live the way that I choose Not happy with me or the things that I do here's for hoping this storm just moves on through x2

WASD is better than work, drugs, and drinks Late night sessions, sleep is for the weak WASD is better than work, drugs, and drinks No one wants to visit anyway like harmful links X2 My life really doesn't have much to mention I search on omegle for female attention My money is made in the retail dimension I'm on the grind like a MMORPG mission Go to bed early? I really fucking doubt it I'm up until the break of dawn, whatchu know about it I stay up late and have too much fun I don't go outside, cause' I'm allergic to the sun Loser, Nerd, Geek, whatever you try to label me I can't hear you over cherry brown key crackling My car cost about half my Pc's worth Is the life I live a blessing or a curse? The life I lead online is far more interesting and some people really find that despressing... You know what? Not me, they just really can't see This is who I wanna be, Life is better at ease! WASD is better than work, drugs, and drinks Late night sessions, sleep is for the weak WASD is better than work, drugs, and drinks No one wants to visit anyway like harmful links X2 A classroom gets shot up They blame it on kids like me and bottle it up They point to games as the source of the violence but never to the kid's own emotional silence Games are a way for people to escape from the mundane shit we do day-to-day Yeah sometimes they makes me a bit late but it makes me feel something other than hate and I'm sure there are many others who can relate and I'm sure there are many who'd rather debate It's no debate for me, it's a no brainer at least I'm not going and putting myself into any danger I'm just living life chill and trying to craft a couple of bangers someday I hope that I'll be so fly , that I live in a fucking hangar Games don't make people wanna shoot up a classroom Games just make people have fun and relax, fool WASD is better than work, drugs, and drinks Late night sessions, sleep is for the weak WASD is better than work, drugs, and drinks No one wants to visit anyway like harmful links X2 Life isn't too complicated Life's just a game man, you gotta sit down and play it Grip the controller with all of your might Because if you die, you are on your only life there are no respawns, revives, or ressurections You gotta make sure you're going in the right direction 1ups are not spread throughout the earth there are no extra lives to save you from the worst There are no walkthrus or guides to follow You just gotta make sure you live for tomorrow life is quite analogous to a game You walk around and ask everyone to explain WASD is better than work, drugs, and drinks Late night sessions, sleep is for the weak WASD is better than work, drugs, and drinks No one wants to visit anyway like harmful links X2

Pretend 03:49
I cannot ever go back to from where I came cuz if I do that shit again it will drive me insane and I'm not talking about an actual location I'm not talking about where you would just go on vacation I'm talking about parts of memories in my brain that I try so hard daily to just avoid and refrain There are always similar parts of all the people that you meet and you never want to see those parts of them on repeat cuz Everybody has their ups, and everybody has their downs every body has their cups, and everybody has their frowns and they drink the piror to remove the latter so they can deal with the struggles of climbing life's rugged ladder and when people try to pull the ladder from under your feet it but come on feels like you have to give in and accept defeat but trust me you don't, you never have to give in because I know that I won't, and I'm only in it to win I'm really not trying to collect all the pride and glory Just trying to get by by writing these small allegories Not trying to say that I'll do it too well I'm just hoping that I do it and I will prevail Life is kind of silly when you pause and take a step back because It's all about success but almost no one ever gets that Let's all pretend that everything is fine and I'll pretend I know what I am doing half the time and you can pretend that you actually care while I will continue to pretend that fake world is there the place that I came from, it was very depressing almost every waking moment was spent stressing and stressing but the place where I went to aleiviate the pain was at a computer desk playing a video game and I swear to god if you are judging me now you just have no fucking idea to me how stupid that sounds when the friends that you had didn't wannna hang half the time because they had no idea how you felt on the inside I'm all smiles and jokes around all of my friends but more often than not I just fake it and pretend but when I logged on to my life on rubi-ka everybody understood what made me want to die and then we stayed up all night and then we stayed up all night and we told each other everything will be alright and we convinced each other that we can win life's fight and even too this day I hope that we will be right from now until death rubi-ka is a marvelous sight and I will /strong4 to show you all my might anarchy online was my fucking salvation because without that shit I'd probably be on permanent vacation

Oceans 02:38
as I lay in my bed, everything is so silent but inside of my head, everything is so violent I have got to start to learn to balance myself out before I go and say some shit and get punched in my snout perhaps I need to relax and teach myself tai chi because I've always wanted to be a member of the dai li I'm even built to be just like an earthbender I'm even known to be an entire net worth spender On some real shit, I got a lot money and spent it I do not feel guilty, not at all, no not even one bit because I spent that money on the things that I needed to make the music you're hearing an actuality, people and had I not already been writing these lyrics I'd have no idea how to live life without having to fear it I also bought a Wii U to satisfy my plead to have something to distract me from my actual needs I never went to the toys, I went to electronics I was hooked on pokemon, never hooked on phonics always had my gameboy pocket when I was on the go so I could whip that shit out while I was on the road to tune out my parents argue about being grown divorce doesn't make sense to a 4 year old and I'm not saying that it fucked me I'm not saying that it fucked me I'm just saying mommy and daddy were so fucking loving then it disappeared and turned into pushing and shoving and I moved so much I never knew where fuck I was going ha ha ha, funny how things change because I still don't know where I am going day to day all that moving, never made friends with whom I could relate and that kinda made me a loner who had to depend on video games to distract me from my lack of friends without this 3DS inside my grip so tight I don't know how the fuck I'd ever fall asleep at night because it keeps me up, because it fucks me up I'm amazed I don't live life looking for the bottom of cups and I hardly drink, and I don't smoke weed I typically spend my money on things I actually need Like that $40, and that $60, and that $15 a month game addicition isn't really real, is it huh? game addicition isn't really real, is it huh? yeah, and you know that I never really needed it that's what I'd say if somehow I were a hedonist but I am not, I am the pinnacle of cynical really don't give a fuck if anybody's critical

Existential 03:17
Don't tell me how to live my life right now x4 not gonna let you make me frown x4 I live my life so existential I gotta hurry up and find a pencil and draw a line, and make it contour gotta outline my life some more I can't sleep because of thoughts and I can't sleep because some thots and I don't know what to do or how to live without you but I got a new chick and she better than you, bitch sorry girl, you best get gone I don't need you to live on the next thing you hear soon is I fucking touched the moon and my fear of knives is gone and I love to mow the lawn and I love to eat fish and I do not need a wish cause' life is finite but death is eternal you get your time right rabbit to turtle you get your time right rabbit to turtle you know you know you know what to do x8 you don't you don't you don't have a clue x4 Don't tell me how to live my life right now x4 not gonna let you make me frown x4 Don't tell me how to live my life right now x4 not gonna let you make me frown x4 you know you know you know what to do x8
