lyrics

The rat race changed the landscape
On your last legs, barrel towards your maker, fulfilling your mandate
At a set pace, strutting for the edge of the cliff
I'm in a different headspace than these irrelevant pricks
I bet you think you're a clever bastard
Overstep your boundaries like death'll never happen
Some hope is everlasting
Bridges oceans, moves mountains
Makes you brave the insurmountable, no matter who's counting
I gaze at the stars bent, bask in their afterglow
Could never stop the shine, until my casket closes
I will not deal in maybes or what-ifs, I does this
Strictly the sure shot, nevermind the dumb shit
You Tom, Dick & Harry's stumbling off your 3rd rock
Jumped ship, and got outfoxed like Rupert Murdoch
A bitter pill to swallow, hard to digest
Jagged edges rip your insides, carving your flesh

When you're green, you have room to grow
(But once you're ripe and ready?)
It's up to you to go
(I know, I know)
Slowly you rot and decay
Karma serves your just desserts, every dog has its day (2x)

(Lex Garcia)

From corporate monopoly to imposed monotony
Passing by robberies, ignoring sobriety
Numbing our reality, the devil is a part of me
The truth is harder to swallow than pride
Like I took the blue pill
Hard to follow, right?
Fathers are crashing planes, simple and plain
Mothers are broken flowers, let's find the power
To grow outta self-imposed obstacles
With ceiling and floor effects, stay in the box
Without breaking your necks, I wish you good luck
Trying to touch the sky and remain down to earth
Universal lies, the controller don't work
I'm a puppet, no strings attached
Life's a race, you can catch me cheating
Growing as I'm breathing
And I Inhale life, exhale undertanding
One man standing on a thousand mountains
