Lyrics
Bedtime stories for the insomniac
Is like writing raps for people who don’t wanna listen
I'm waking in the morning on the wrong side of the head
It' got me feeling like I'm being born again and knowing that
The gentrified abide by fundamental means for meaning well
While what eventuated, seminal state of segregated still
Approximated to a band stand; I don't wanna help
The studio audience to get up off their ass to fail
Paleozoic in a stoic sense; I fence the allegory
It's all Greek to me in current modern-day
21st century’s centrifugal, too bad society's frugal
In explicitly advanced making good use of the human
I know a violent means; we all resort to genocide
And watch it lessen opportunities, true, in truant-forced comradery
Inadequate commodity had lacked the motivative
State of doing right by self but also right by what you're given
Living mitigated: evaded anointed laboring
Is pointing out the pointless why's fire feeding animation if not to break a sweat? so
I perspire in aspiring to making people aspire
To go beyond the fiscal and undulated path to retirement—
A misdirected conception that’s re-infected the scar
So while you sit back inadvertently and watch the world starve I’ma
HOOK
Stake out a claim
Solder all the mainstay
Everybody's gotta get a piece for the taking
Find another statuary suitable star
To redefine the geocentricism found at the start
Stake out a claim
Solder all the mainstay
Everybody's gotta get a piece, but if you wanna save face
Find another means to redefine the galaxy and tap an alimony known to be that star
Only the man himself is he who holds the throne had thrown it to the wide receiver
Eager believers believe that that's a reason to be here
It's splendid carry-alonging for the most of construction
That's fun at first but then debunked when the foundation malfunctions
If it’s so necessary having the baggage to claim space
Then why the fuck am I here in the first place?
I struck another Monday-not-a-day discordant curtain calling
Stipulated fate: the bait of the best at watching Monday night football as a profession
I’m lessening America convention on a chart of values
Drifting further and further from the “what actually matters”
Find me a batter that can hit that point without some taking that as
Anti-patriotic; do you hear what I’m saying?
I make friends with walls; I wall out my friends
I’m college radio-friendly for the few that wanna listen
Pissing in a wishing well to fund the next superstition
Is as valid as any organized religion won't tell you
The romanticystic outlook has society extrapolated from the origin of piety
That got us to this stature-dom, dissected from
Indenture to God, I’m self-indentured to self; if God won't back me then
I'll still fulfill a goal; so what the hell
Did you do when you tasted air this morning?
Or was it that, the advice that either was or wasn't taken?
