Nothin' but Net

Baseball never hit quite right
But when Darius sinks one from the line
It feels sublime
Rainstorm
He's got the keys to the gym
When everyone else has some excuse
He's locked in
He dribbles all around like his life is at stake
Yet to win a game, it's such a pump-fake
He squats all day and benches all night
And he hits his delts in class when they feel a lil tight
He has no time for women, no time for hugs
No time to lay up on the woman he loves
With defeat behind him and the playoffs in sight
The fight song calls, it's such a delight
Three, three, three, three... two!
(5'9") You can't even touch the net
Why don't you make like Tyrion and pay us your debts
Fifteen but his hairline is whack
He takes his caffeine and his steroids back to back
And today he's more than ready to play
He arrives at the function, he waves at the stands
He's cordial, he's focused, got a shake to his hands
Three seconds left, and they're down by the same
He's letting one fly, it's the fate of the game
The ball leaves his grip and his heart explodes
He falls to his knees having delivered his payload
With defeat behind him, and a dark void in sight
The fight song calls still it's such a delight (yah)
Three, three, three, three... two!

Had a great dream 'bout someone I just met
Flicker of a firepit, big house, seven kids
He don't wanna play house yet, so we're forced to play around and around and around and around
Go on girl, give us nothing
Way you don't give a fuck makes me want it
It's a movie scene, a fiction
Oh this affliction tortures me
I shoulda known our love was steady
I shoulda known our love was steady
I shoulda known our love was steady
He shoulda told me he was ready
I shoulda known our love was steady
I shoulda known our love was steady
I shoulda known our love was steady
I really think he might come kill me
Went out with a new man just to clear my head
Now he's lookin' at me like he wants me dead
If you wanted my heart, shouldn't have thrown it all around and around and around and around
Hey! What's wrong with going out on that day?
I know it's the fourteenth of february, I do, I do, I do
Say it with me, I do, I do, I do, I do
I shoulda known our love was steady
I shoulda known our love was steady
I shoulda known our love was steady
I really think he might come kill me
I shoulda known our love was steady
I shoulda known our love was steady
I shoulda known our love was steady
He shoulda told me he was ready

Apex Predator

I really ought to tell you 'bout this friend I used to know
He sleeps all day and wonders if he'll ever leave his home
Light peers in through a crack in the blinds
On and on it goes
When he breaks into the green stuff, he acts a little wild
When he doesn't get his food, he whines like a child
Things used to be so cool man, what have you become
On and on it goes
Apex predator
On the armchair
Do what he says, and if all goes his way, he won't throw up in the stairwell
Apex predator
On the armchair
Do what he says, and if all goes his way, he won't throw up in the stairwell
Back before my buddy got spoiled beyond belief
We didn't always used to have this stupid lil beef
When I was back in school we used to be besties
On and on it goes
I worked myself thin as you sucked up all the funds
You'd get a job if only you had opposable thumbs
No time alone, is this the thanks I get?
I needed a companion but I didn't need a pet
Apex predator
On the armchair
Do what he says, and if all goes his way, he won't throw up in the stairwell
Apex predator
On the armchair
Do what he says, and if all goes his way, he won't throw up in the stairwell
Baby boy, I'm so in love
I took you in like you're a runaway
Baby boy, I'm so in love
I took you in like you're just a stray
Apex predator
On the armchair
Do what he says, and if all goes his way, he won't throw up in the stairwell
Apex predator
On the armchair
C'mon and do what he says

when i was 15 i had it all figured out
got in my head that i could write songs
and now i cant get it out
nowadays everything is so gray
got in my head that I could work hard
watch myself dry and wither away
looking at my younger self
I shout it out
I wanna see you succeed
I wanna see you succeed
cos I, I just want
I wanna see you succeed
I wanna see you succeed
cos I, I just want
I wanna see you succeed
can't decide what hurts less
drinking my problems away or making a song I regret
I've been irresponsible
And now it's so impossible
looking at my younger self
I shout it out
I wanna see you succeed
I wanna see you succeed
cos I, I just want
I wanna see you succeed
I wanna see you succeed
cos I, I just want
I wanna see you succeed
I feel nothin inside
Head empty, just vibes
Wonder if it's betta
To take a shot in the dark and just let up
(I wanna see you) succeed
I wanna see you succeed
cos I, I just want
I wanna see you succeed
I wanna see you succeed
cos I, I just want
I wanna see you succeed

And in Another Life

Clutching through what passes as a flower field these days
You hold my shirt as if the smog could blow us both away
It could it could it could I say
A pickup blasts us from the street, it’s great metallic whine
“Dad if kwik trip is a watering hole then that must be a lion”
It could it could it could I say
And in another life it was
Ancient cave graffiti lines the overpass walls
She likes to point out curses as I shuffle her along
Can’t say that one!
Laughing at the screens, seems like anywhere’s fair game
What’s the point of anything if everything stayed the same?
Touché touché
And in another life it was
