That’s alright
you don’t care anyway,
I just put this song together
‘cause I had somethin’ to say.
That’s alright,
you don’t care anyway
I just put this song together
‘cause I had something to say.
That’s alright,
you don’t care anyway
I just put this song together
‘cause I had something to say
Said that’s alright
you don’t care oh anyway
Do you my friend?
Will you be my friend
like you said you would be
until the end?

Well I’m,
Smokin’ resin, reminiscin’ again
of smoking resin with you
puking in the Lexus on the way to school
Way before the rules and restrictions
And victims of suicide.
Well, we used to drive
and listen to tunes
In vented bathrooms
And hittin’ the snooze
‘til two in the afternoon.
No rent was due
or bills to pay.
Gettin’ through the day
to party at night.
Thrashin’ under street-lights
as “Cast-Away” sang.
Under highways,
throwing sticks at cars.
Disregard the laws and wrongs
with homemade bongs
on top of construction sights
Where the beach came to life,
Aside the woods
where I smoked my first cigarette
And toked and spoke of then not now.
Now I speak of then in that town
with an upside-down frown,
takin’ new sights and sounds
with a smile,
Because I have yet to die,
So I have yet to fail.
Been derailed plenty,
With a tank far from empty.
Thus the busts found
And the trust lost
Has costed much less
than what’s gone,
Cause as I write,
It comes from inside
So in the end
there’s nothing lost,
Simply there to find.

Which is why I
“Defy the Line”
“One Step Beyond”
“Phase II”
“Vision 3”
“Sorry” for
“Dying to Live”
with a “Deathwish”
“Yeah Right” “Let’s Live”
‘68 Gibson, Oscar Schmidt
’89 Honda,
G6, S10, best friends
in a Parkview Paradox drinking binge,
Faded in Fringe at Park Place
Bunch of Knuckleheads at OG’s
and Craic at the Odyssey.

We was chain-smoking, Rummy
Pistol Pete’s dollar dozen wings
Lunch joints in the Orangutan
and all those Ruby Tuesdays
And all them Ruby Tuesdays!

Chorus

We all have similar cases I guess.
We all have those certain faces that we miss.
Used to meet with an embrace and a kiss,
but those days are over and that’s where the memory sits.
And lyrics get kicked,
Spirit’s get ripped,
I may have been tripped,
But the pages have flipped.
Now this motivation
is enlivening.
Levitation to the sky I see
a whole world for the finding,
so don’t mind me
‘cause I’m flyin’ free.

Levitation to the sky I see
A whole world for the finding
So don’t mind me.
Levitation to the sky I see
A whole world for the finding
So don’t mind me.
Levitation to the sky I see
A whole world for the finding
So don’t mind me.
Levitation to the sky I see
A whole world for the finding
So don’t mind me.

No, no, no
No don’t mind me
I’m flyin’ free
Up in the air
and I am oh so carefree.
No, don’t mind me
‘cause I’m flying free
I am of the air
and I am carefree.
No, don’t mind me
‘cause I am free.

And just as my father used to say,
“No hooks in your ass
or trees in your way”
If life’s a game, let’s play
And see what we can accomplish today.

And once you have experienced fail,
Your eyes are wide open next five dollar rail.
You drink and think of how they compare.
Drink and think and then you’ll just stare impaired.
Look away from the lake,
Make the sun let you think of something,
Someone in enchanting.
I can’t sing well so I’m chanting,
Dancing in between heaven and hell
and ranting frequently.
Well I smell sounds that bring around memories in pounds,
But don’t let it drag me down
or twist me ‘round in circles,
‘cause I’m reaching for the surface
to reach the point of purpose.
Yes, I’m reaching towards the surface
to reach the point of purpose.
Yes, I’m reaching for the surface,
To reach the point of purpose.

I’m reaching towards the surface
to reach the point of purpose.
Yes, I’m reaching for the surface.

And I’m
Spaced out, traced out
the next steps of my journey
I got goals set in mind
For this slim piece of time that I’m given
Not liven for standards
And I’ll never put man first
‘cause when it comes to this Earth,
This planet gave me birth
Just like the rest of ‘em
I’ve been walking aimlessly
And it’s so plain to see,
That I’m not me from years before
I’ve tore them apart,
The pieces of my heart
Displaced over states and countries
I must see
Something for a change of mi-ind.

Close your eyes, you’ll see just fine
Open up your mind,
Through the darkness you will find your light
Close your eyes, you’ll see just fine
Just open up your mind and open up inside
I said, close your eyes you’ll see just fine
That deep inside of you there is a light
Close your eyes, you’ll see just fine
Just open up your mind and open up inside.
Open up your mind and open up inside.
Find your light
Close your eyes, you’ll see just fine.
Open up your mind and open up inside.
