I make nine dollars a day playing micro stakes
I keep telling myself that 'it will be ok'
but as the quarters stack tall and those penny jars are full
I'm here multi-tabling like an animal
will these digital blinds ever turn into paper
can these holecards here turn into 'pocket saviours'
is my equity good? am I getting proper odds
so that I can move out of my parents garage
maybe this will amount to something someday
so I'll do my best not to get lost along the way
I don't think I have a problem, I thought I had a plan
My plan was to avoid being owned by the man
am I wasting my time with all these nickels and dimes
or will it all combine to help me define my shrine
maybe this will amount to something someday
so I'll do my best not to get lost along the way

Degenerate

I may be what you describe as a degenerate
I gamble my life away instead of treating it like a gift
Well breathing is swell and all but I want something more
Insight to what it is that we're searching for
If our universe is infinite - there should always be something left to explore
so I will run run run
searching for the sounds that feel the way that I do
among these streets
atop these feet will lead me to you
I am reminded of words told by men far more wiser than I
'I just don't know' is how it goes...I can't remember the rest
Your memories are useless if the time is always now
don't lose yourself in where why when and how
we came to be, not clear to me, someday we'll see - but that day is not now
so I will run run run
searching for the sounds that feel the way that I do
among these streets
atop these feet may lead me to you
what would you say to this face
if faced with the truth - and the truth is
that I love you.
that I have always loved you.
I will always love you, you make me want to be a better person.

liquidated my equities
playing the game got the best of me
world spins on a tilted axis
while we're all juggling our assets are dwindling as i'm twiddlin'
my thumbs as I hum to my own strum
captivate the sweep of my feet
lungs come up with wit to grip oxygen
thank god there is more
explore the breath. life and death or better yet
every individual regret
upset neglect of your natural good intent
intensifying, rhyming, describing life in its beautiful aspects
they mechanically manifest lyrics that beg for poetical respect
the world is your playground do what you wanna do
