I have slept underneath bridges, on the sidewalk, in cold places
Bright lights, fireworks, the casino is my stage
I thought that it was still summer, I forgot to wear a sweater
When I sleep it rains and when I sleep it pours
this is where I go to remember where I came from
Do you know about determination, I'm just waiting for
Do you know something about patience, I'm just waiting for these clouds to break
When I sleep it rains and when I sleep it pours, this is where I go to remember where I came from
Fall asleep in an American flag and I don't like the people but I love the land oh
Do you know about determination, I'm just waiting for
Do you know something about patience, I'm just waiting for these walls to break
And I feel so good, yeah it makes me glad I can share this with everyone else
Bright lights, fireworks, the casino is my stage

Hey baby don't take my life
Hey baby don't be my wife
Hey baby don't fuck with me
I'll tell you what I see
I'll just go
Hey baby don't be my friend
Baby, baby I'll tell you again
Anybody try to fuck with me
I'll tell you what I see
I'll just go
Hey baby don't take my life
Hey baby don't be my wife
Hey baby don't fuck with me
I'll tell you what I see

Hey baby don't be my friend
Baby, baby I'll tell you again

Refute Me

If I don't react maybe you'll see
If I don't react how your mirror is cracked
If I don't react, maybe youll see
If I don't react
How your mirror is cracked
But I gotta say no
yeah I gotta walk away
But I gotta say no
How do I walk away
Fell asleep in a hotel stairwell with my middle finger up
The holy spirit is a white light devil that'll make you sick
Cause angels pick and choose, pick and choose who they want to use
Yeah angels pick and choose, pick and choose high and mighty from their clouds
No god ever taught me anything about self respect
No god ever taught me anything than to worship it
No god ever taught me that I'd have to earn this
Put your problems in their hands, somebody else will take care of it
Don't care where your going, I don't even think that you know of it
Don't you care where were going, don't you care that you're pushin me off the edge
But I gotta say no, yeah I gotta walk away
How do I say no, before I walk about
The holy spirit is a white light devil that'll make you sick
Cause angels pick and choose, pick and choose who they want to use
Yeah angels pick and choose, pick and choose high and mighty from their clouds
I can't grow in a garden of death
I refuse to grow in a garden of death
Here I am to steal your right away to do wrong on me
I am justice I am truth, everyone thinks its a big conspiracy
I can't wait for you to refute me, I dare you to refute me, I can't wait for you to refute me

Bow down to the sun in the morning , I hope I'm killing God
Sit down in the evening, bow down to the moon
I hope I'm killing God
Meditating on the shores of reality, standing on the edges of superficiality, everlasting like an evergeen, my mind with linger till the end of time
Cause I made a vow to come back and save you
I made a vow to come back and save you
These pains are so mundane, these pains are so mundane
and I'm afraid to say it but I can't to lose you, I cry about it every day
Think the world could use some perspective, think the universe could be introspective, these pains are so mundane
and I'm afraid to say it but I cant wait to lose you, I cry about it every day
Bow down to the sun in the morning , I hope I'm killing God
Sit down in the evening, bow down to the moon
I hope I'm killing God
Cause I know what's killin you

Hey Mr. President, someone of equal importance
Did you know there is no God, just you and your guilty conscience
I'm an easy face to read, wanna know what makes me feel so calm
Can you feel the storm
Hey Mr. President, someone of equal importance
Did you know there is no God, just you and your guilty conscience
Compassion, true intention, I pray for our protection, your god's gonna light up the sky, it's not gonna be a good time
I'm an easy face to read, wanna know what makes me look so calm
I'm an easy face to read, can you feel the storm

I wish I had a home that wasn't filled with lead and mold
I wish I had a home that wasn't brimming with bees
I wish I had home that didn't have any fleas
I wish I had a home where there was no cat pee
Where should I put you one day
I would put you where anyone would want to sit next to me
But no not anyone can
Cause I see what they did to the statue of liberty

Significant Brother

I don't wanna be a significant other
It makes me feel like I'm somebody's mother
I wouldn't want to be invited either
Cause I know how you would talk about me later
I hate these stupid punk clubs and I hate your dumb ideas
But that's only because I know how you would laugh at mine later

Potential

Nature told to me, I ain't no separate entity
But a cancerous refractal reflection of our negative thought patterns, averse behaviors
I can't wait to die, I will melt into the Earth, I hope there's no one there to cry. I hope you can't wait to die, we will melt into the Earth, there'll be nobody there to cry
You don't have to turn the lights off for these things inside to die
You think that you can fool me, nature told to me, I am right here and this is all a lie
My mind fuses with the essence of life, something so pure, untouched potential, I refuse to die with a sense of longing, it's as if you're drowning while you're still alive

Hedonist

If you wanna meet the devil, take a good look at yourself
like a comet, seeks the sun, it will melt it's icy core, all that's good, all that's light, it won't take hold without a fight
I dreamed that your eyes turned black, I dreamed that your hair followed back
It's too easy to be bad when you're a hedonist
You're so full of maybes, I'm tired of I dunno
You're so full of maybes, what's your deal man
I dreamed that your eyes turned black, I dreamed that your hair followed back
It's too easy to be bad when you're a hedonist

Rain rain go away so I can get lavender tea
Water in the street secede so I can plant sunflower seeds
You are my shadow I am your light
We are the day and we are the night
We work together sometimes it's a fight
To break toxic patterns and honor your life
We cracked our bones and rode into the night
To be uncovered in sand, black forces, and light
We sold our souls, it's not what you think
They've only got a hold of you as long as you let them
I thank the cause, I thank the cause, the one that made me
I thank the cause, I thank the moment, I thank the thought that brought me
We cracked our bones and rode on through the night
To be uncovered by sand, black forces, and light

Brown Sugar "Tropical Disease" EP

Would it be too much for me to petition the Sweet Water Pink Boat riff be played at every Bills game into the future as it may accurately translate into a cosmic derivative of "Let's go Buffalo"?
