Lazy Habits
4:26We can make friends, we can make enemies Sooner or later we'll meet at the cemetery Sooner or later with nowadays remedies A bridge to the end where there's suicidal tendencies Heads won't let it be. Can't cage the beast and so they set it free Eruption of energy of blood red imagery, no pause for thought Cold ice thaws, temperature soars Nurse I was bitten. Think I might be cursed Already seeing visions. Think it's getting worse That night I changed inside in strange ways Veins laced with dope, woke up my brain ached Last laugh like I didn't get the joke Til the hospital car park doing up my coat Something in my Carhartt chewing at my throat Just a little guilt so I threw it in the road A different set of laws plots a different type of course A different type of show no ceremony no awards No end credits, no applause, no merit then by force You open up your doors to find a Trojan horse. And of course These wars and the walls that surround us are groundless It's just that distrust has found us Bound us to tool up it's just too much Excuses are too cheap it's just too much Poisonous grip. Poisonous ivy Poisonous drip from a poisonous I.V Poison I spit. Poison inside me Poised for a slip into the void that's behind me A choice that defines me, abusing booze 'cause everywhere I look I see confusing clues Tube map looking like a Rubix Cube It's like a Nightmare on Elm Street, you snooze you lose The signs you see, are much nearer than the stars They seem so far but they're just tricks of the lights you see I'm here fighting for my life to be The point of a pen, a friend for a friend The thoughts that repeat as you stand on the bend The question pretends a chapter or whole book? The five minutes or the life that it took, look! A little further than the end of your nose Cause that tends to be just the end of your nose At the end of a rope is a noose and a note A foothold, a hook and a new sense of hope Me? I've got no problem knowing the ledge Only difference is I let go of the edge The last time that happened I nearly fell asleep at the wheel I'm just out here keeping it real And I'm worried I might reach a wuthering height Already felt the heat in the smothering night I was loving this life 'til I discovered this knife Now I'm looking at the pie in the oven wanting a slice You had a choice, choosing is nice Some stain their graves on the roll of the dice Chasing tricks of the light, turning tricks in the night We sell ourselves short in a bid to survive No piece of the pie just a slice of advice A Means of Precaution it's yours to decide Nobody said this was going to be nice But you got to grow wings if you want that to fly I've always rapped, never mattered that much But now I get more gigs than an iPod Touch When am I going to take this shit seriously? What will I do when I quit, seriously? It's not like I've got many other talents I can just about stand on one leg and keep balance Saw signs, and crossed lines just to see what would happen Now there's a body on the track between Clapham and Balham The signs you see, are much nearer than the stars They seem so far but they're just tricks of the lights you see I'm here fighting for my life to be The signs you see, are much nearer than the stars They seem so far but they're just tricks of the lights you see I'm here fighting for my life to be
