I put trust within the harvest though I've never seen it sown I could never feel the hurt of things I wouldn't know Courage doesn't constitute abandoning your fears Its conquering uncertainty wherever it appears (So it goes) People love complaining ‘bout the thorns upon a rose Though forget about the rose upon the thorns Like nobody ever cared about the fire till it froze And now they’d kill each other for the warmth We muddied up the water If you learn to laugh about it you might live a little longer The monster underneath your bed is nothing but a lie When every criticism hit me right between the eyes A legend in my time I've got the clothes to make the man Extend the olive branch I would love to shake your hand Understand that every cynic was romantic at a time They can’t stand up for the cause because they haven’t got a spine Oh my! You say it’s always snowing in the summertime Redefine the paradigm like will you be my valentine Or my concubine it wouldn't make a difference Any conscience really only ever wants a man to listen So reminiscent of a girl I never had And a fight we never fought about our nonexistence past Atop the social ladder everybody wears a mask Uglier than sinning like our hell is understaffed How’s that You’re uglier than sin, like hell is understaffed How’s that You’re uglier than sin, but I love that fucking grin They say her daddy’s always drinking like fish They say he’s taught her not to speak a fucking word They say she doesn't know what patriarchy is They say that everything she says becomes a curse You’re breaking out the shell It’d be a cold July before I asked you how you felt You couldn't speak or spell it for anybody but yourself Like I would go to hell and back for anybody else I could never tell the difference in behavior Like there’s nothing braver Than dying for a stranger It’s in my nature To sing because I have a song Not because I think that it’s an answer to where I belong And if I’m wrong my epitaph will call me coward The milk is turning sour like your daughters been deflowered OH GOD I want the power I don’t want responsibility Come on smalls you’re killing me You’re not that stupid willing, are you? I would never argue with a better thing Married to a wedding ring I’d rather have a steady fling Every set of wings an angel never gets Is every opportunity that you forget? I guess It’s every set of wings that an angel never gets I guess It’s every set of wings that The Harvest never brings

Yours is not to reason why Yours is but to do and die Not up to God to justify His ways to you and I… Everybody make a fist and put it to the sky Die motherfucker die DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIE! There's not a reason to surrender We're the number one contender Out of all of our competitors We'll always be the better Like a diamond is forever These passive-aggressors always want the fame and fortune without putting in the effort But we’ll give it to them never You've been weighed and you've been measured As unworthy to remember Go and exit where you entered I welcome competition Morning Glory Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition Set a fire in the kitchen Redefine the definition Never-mind the recognition Never sacrifice your vision, God willing Every fucking politician wants to claim their superstition is the only true religion, no kidding? Everybody take a hand and put it on your heart I pledge allegiance to the sum of all my parts I’d suffer any struggle for the light beyond the tunnel By the skin upon my knuckles I will pick apart the puzzle Like I’m drowning in a puddle And the messages are mumbled like the mongrel little mutt in me is screaming through a muzzle But I’m rummage through the rubble Like the deck was never shuffled Though I never look for trouble If I do I’m seeing double I never said I was devout Cursing like a sailor till I’m foaming at the mouth I bet you’d want to wash it out I've benefited from the doubt Of every head within the cloud That I would never talk about, like wow You can scream and you can shout about my every broken vow but I would never turn a frown, what now?

You bark like a dog I would love to rip the mask off What's behind the trash talk? Not a whole lot Flaunt what you don't got Want what you can't have Act like it's Hip-Hop Oh don't stop, you're funny like a joke Smoke you like a cigarette and play you like a note Spin it like a pirouette Oh I can only hope you aren't doing something you'll regret Everybody place your bets You would die before your stroke fell Never undersell yourself despite the hand that you were dealt We're not buying what you got to sell We don't need your kind of help We'll handle it ourselves You're eating me alive Come fire, come ice Either / or would suffice I've become a victim of my own advice No need to apologize I'll catch you in the afterlife I hate people with opinions You're not one out of a million and you're not so fucking brilliant You're not different, and you'll never make a difference But you kick around your wisdom like everybody should listen When you're only doing whats convenient And only see the value in the things that you agree with Like you could never handle disagreement Honestly I'm wondering if you even believe in it It's not scenic, but it's not like its suppose to be You contribute to it even if you do unknowingly You'd never save the planet by the merit of your poetry You talk about the hero but you never act heroically And I want to be clear, I'm every bit as guilty as anybody here Everyone's the same, we're equal, we're singular We get Shitty, then we die like Dillinger

It's like every other any day I'm going for the throat I would live and die in any way to get to be alone I wake up in the morning and this house is not a home When I go to sleep my body is the only thing I own (I know) I really shouldn't show it so I won't I know I could do it but I don't (Don't quote me) Here today and gone tomorrow When the leader comes to follow A sudden fall from grace can be a bitter pill to swallow (I know) Everybody wants to pick the lowest hanging fruit Instead of reaching for a challenge like they've got something to prove Everyone should try and bite off more than they can chew Without the worry they might chip a tooth Enthusiasm conquers the impossible I never bombed a single hill with visions of the hospital Your primary concern should be to overcome the obstacle Instead of calculating reasons it'd be irresponsible I feel like I'm losing something that I've never had I'm spending too much time and effort stirring up the past When I should be cultivating talents that I have I'm too concerned with idolizing what my neighbor has (That's that) I promise that I’ll try and help myself That’s the best thing you can do for anybody else Twenty years of feeling and as far as I have felt I know every winter will eventually melt (I know) If you see the forest for the trees And if you see the desert for the sand Remember that the devils in the details And he’ll never leave, once you shake his hand

Go to bed late, then I have to wake Get to work, keep it goin’, can't stop, can't take a break Gotta get it done, in time for me to do the things I wanna do But by the time I finished it, it's time for me to talk to you And then explain what I do in my day, well It's complicated and you say, "Pray tell" And I will try, if I miss any details Think about it later and then send it in an e-mail 'Cause my brain is on a loop, but there's a buzz That I need to troubleshoot, not now Gotta-gotta get the work done Last night, some other day is turnin’ to the first one I, never gonna never gonna I, am never gonna never gonna I, ain't never gonna ever gonna die Huh, pedal to the medal, gonna get ahead Gonna run another red light in the dead of the night Lettin’ the light from my cellphone distract my eyes Sexual text messagin’ to my mind Fingers are busy, but now I'm lookin’ in the mirror Cause the people behind me, they're givin’ me the middle finger I'll kill 'em if they pull up any closer to my bumper Short-tempered mother… shut your mouth! Drinkin’ the coffee, now I'm dumpin’ it out He's honkin’ his horn like "You wanna throw down?!?" He thinks, "Oh boy, you wanna go now? I'm ready (I'm ready)" For the typically cyclical simple civil obedience Typically cyclical simple civil obedience Typically cyclical simple civil obedience (di-di-di-difficult isn't it?) I'm just a man, with a company van And a supervisor who just does a summary scan And a coworker who's always like "Just cover me man" In the morning we all get into the huddle again Like "Can we even make more money?"

Shoulda never let me in this place Fly, fly boy in the brownest state I got a feeling that I'm never gonna get let out the gate ‘cause I'm the BOMB Yeah I said it; cool, collected, and calm Maneuver through the computer to do a little song My music got the charm Smoother than a cougar, attack the mic and get on the intercom “Hello passengers, fellow activists, Whether you're masochists, mellow pacifists Tell those faxin’ it is no accident By the end of this record, you're gonna knowwwww” Typically cyclical simple civil obedience Typically cyclical simple civil obedience Typically cyclical simple civil obedience Typically cyclical simple civil obedient people Are you listenin’, Love?
