Monstro is here! Enjoy, this very long track!!!
If I could take you to white snow and waves blue
In the same day you two, I bet you’ll move here soon
When you see me next everything will be different
It will all be taken care of
As for when I will see you I doubt it will be soon
In LA my value is not what I’m used to
In LA you’ll find what drives you
While walking on stars with no shoes
The lights will be bright and burn you
While walking on stars with no shoes
From a view outside you can look into my eyes
This isn’t my purpose it’s only part time
So give me your ticket, be back with a smile
To give back your auto that makes life worthwhile
Five bucks as a tip as you say “Son”
Downtown in a state of confusion
Screaming and I don’t know why
Lost it all with reckless delusion
Singing screaming don’t now why I am so lost and…
Sorry sir don’t mind me and my optimistic stride
But I am going to ignite in a matter of time
When I burn bright enough for the people to see
You’ll remember the day you we’re talking to me
Five bucks as a tip as you say “Son”
Downtown in a state of confusion
Screaming and I don’t know why
Lost it all with reckless delusion
Singing screaming don’t now why I am so lost and…
What the preacher he said to me
He said “don’ believe everything you see.”
What the the preacher said to me he said
“Son you need, never not run”
I often wonder the exact moment I gave up hope for normalcy
There’s something about settling that just never settled with me
I’m not a puppet
And if I settle when I feel my full potential has not been achieved
Should I stifle my ambition just to do the normal thing?
A living puppet
From time to time I realize my reality is a fleeting dream
Unraveling right at the seams
If I were a real boy the kids would not all laugh at me
If I were a real boyvI swear to God she’d notice me
If I were a real boy
Write it down in case you don’t remember the feeling that you have now
From time to time I realize my reality is just a fleeting dream
Unraveling right at the seams
If I were a real boy the kids would not all laugh at me
If I were a real boy then things would work out perfectly
In LA you’ll find what drives you
While walking on stars with no shoes
The lights will be bright and burn you
While walking on stars with no shoes
It’s real hard to sleep as the neighbor creep keeps on vomiting
At least there’s some peace from domestic violence
Run for your life dear, one day he will hurt you
It’s real hard to sleep when the ghetto bird’s outside hovering
With the siren screech coming near I realize
Theres shit going down right outside my window
It’s real hard to sleep with this fucking searchlight blinding me
I’m raiding the cabinets for booze and dish rags
I think that this this calls for a molotov cocktail
As I insert the cloth into the bottle a noise inside
Adrenaline races until I realize it’s just a fucking group text
She walks up to me
She says “Taia’s my name, I’m happy you came
Just take a look around, this night club is the best in town
Your drink’s compliments of the bar”
We locked our eyes, she came to me
She raised her glass up for a toast
I’ll show you what I know: you’re a handful to me
I’m reclusive and depraved
Open your head
As I’m rambling on it is clear to me she’s the muse I need
Taia know that I achieve the goals I set in front of me (and she said)
“Will you follow me into the dark?”
We locked our eyes, she came to me
She raised her glass up for a toast
I’ll show you what I know: you’re a handful to me
I’m reclusive and depraved
Open your head
Snuck into this bar never thought this could happen to me
People stare I don’t care what they’re thinking of me
Bartender leans into me and he asks what I do
He says “Kid do not get tongue tied, just lie so you can survive
These people have the power. So green I saw you coming
Just listen to me and I’ll introduce you to the people you should meet
This owner owns the city
He has the the jobs that’ll give you keys to this whole city
Don’t get tongue tied don’t get tongue tied don’t get tongue tied great!”
Oh yea that’s sounding special to me, no I won’t get tongue tied
Pour another bottle for me
That’s him sitting there holy shit is he staring at me
Waves me down “Have a seat, whats the action you seek?”
Anything for my dreams I’m the next rising star!
He says “Kid do not get tongue tied, just lie so you can survive
These people have the power. So green I saw you coming
Just listen to me and I’ll introduce you to the people you should meet
This owner owns the city
He has the the jobs that’ll give you keys to this whole city
Don’t get tongue tied don’t get tongue tied don’t get tongue tied great!”
My friends it’s the people you meet and it’s the truth that you seek
Well here’s a chip off the block, sell bricks on the block for me
Finally got my footing here, LA is mine this year
Who says that social climbing’s wrong
I’m drinking with the best of them
A job that puts me in this city’s richest social club
To those who called me lazy and those who say I’m crazy
You’re stuck back home with nothing I’m climbing up the ladder
And I feel okay drinking my whisky
Living my way day after day
To those who called me lazy and those who say I’m crazy
You’re stuck back home with nothing I’m climbing up the ladder
And I feel okay drinking my whisky
Living my way day after day
Well I’ll live my own life and you live yours
Well I’ll live my own life and fuck it
You can judge me all you want
Looks like we found a useful dupe again
Time to snatch and grab as much as you can hold
“This is a job that has multiple thrills
Collect the money and dispense the pills
You’ll work with celebrities of the screen
They’re gonna love you, you’ll have what they need
So listen up, protect the stash
And keep the money away from these cats
And if you’re busted there’s bail no doubt
Just keep it secret so they don’t figure it out”
You’re wearing a brilliant disguise
But telling me nothing but lies
“You’re looking nervous, do you need to chill
Have you ever tried our magic pills
Just pop this oxy and see how it feels
It’s just a taste so you know that we’re real
Don’t fuck this up, don’t lose my stash
It’s not a practice when you’re on the block
Just remember who you work for today
I can destroy you in so many ways”
You’re wearing a brilliant disguise
But telling me nothing but lies
You’re telling me lies
Do you hear the things, do you hear the things they say to me?
The strip is calling, your mind is melting
Lets take this party to another level
Now on the strip I’m dodging these freaks
Destroy them
Lost on this street I’m running from heat
Control me
Another round for your weakness
Another round for my flaws
I can’t explain I can’t figure out how the hell I wound up on the floor
What were you thinking, have you lost your mind
Keep it together, he almost died
Now on the strip I’m dodging these freaks
Destroy them
Lost on this street I’m running from heat
Control me
Another round for your weakness
Another round for my flaws
I can’t explain I can’t figure out how the hell I wound up on the floor
Man oh man, beat down after beat down
Port here ready to pop the hatchet and give myself the heave-ho
Man just to be back in my Pedro town and filling my in-door with Pedro chow
It’s looking pretty bleak out here but I gotta keep on pushing keep on pushing through the bleakness
Try to keep on pushing
I mean if you’re into this I mean really into this you damn be ready for some hills and valleys
But lot’s of pushing keep on pushing gotta keep on pushing
If you chop another one I’m game for that type of fun
We can discuss the details of our schemes over drinks
I got a real good feeling man and this kid gig gives me a plan
I’ll sell, I’ll save, maybe buy my own place
But for now you’re right, let’s rage
Drinks on you? What’s that you say?
Hold up just wait something feels strange
These straps are too tight I need you to page my mind
Now last call it’s getting late, these drinks take the edge away
Tell me what did you add to the product this time anyway
Never mind, it leveled out
If you drive I’m down for the after party
Yo, I’d slow down your speed or the pig back there could take us away
Fucking shit! You see his lights? Pull over at the stop sign
When you slow down I’m taking off that way
Another squad car on the right, feels like wings will aid my flight
Fuck off, you pig, I’ll be alright
These straps are too tight I need you to page my mind
They say that you will not make it this time, what do they know
The X-Rays and testing could not even show cancer that grows
You beat this thing once before years ago but it’s different this time
Even the strongest need support and love sometimes
I know that you’re tired, I know that it’s all overwhelming
But if and when you’re weak just reach out to me
I swear to you Dad I’ll be strong for the both of us
And when you feel tired take comfort in loved ones around you
You taught us the best, we know how this ends
I swear to you will be strong enough to carry on
Whenever you need me just reach for me, reach for the phone
I’m sorry right now I can’t make it home, believe me I know
You don’t need one more face in the crowd watching you sleep
But I’ll be there when I can, until then
I know that you’re tired, I know that it’s all overwhelming
But if and when you’re weak just reach out to me
I swear to you Dad I’ll be strong for the both of us
And when you feel tired take comfort in loved ones around you
You taught us the best, we know how this ends
I swear to you will be strong enough to carry on
Gotta get home and let Mom and Dad know I am fine
Above all, hope you’ll recognize me
First turn them to lifelong brand consumers
Warring tribes of celebrity worshippers
Oblivious parrots opposed to self-interest
We got the poor dipshits against the Estate Tax
Minimum wage is around the poverty line
As we eliminate workers with automatons
Can they truly comprehend the reality
That we sold out our species?
NO! YOU’RE LOST GET BACK ON BRAND!
Our politicians propped by corporate media
Sell our brand you useful vultures
Organized labor membership’s low as hell
Consolidate, automate and the rats will drown
Let the mob choose between insurance premiums and TVs
Bet you can guess what that will do to life expectancies
OH YEAH! THAT’S THAT SHIT I LOVE!
Now’s the time for greed with no oversight
Cuz our cronies bankroll committees
Profit margins can always Increase so Fuck the Earth
Embrace dollar signs, deregulate everything!
One thing left to do when you realize we’re all screwed
We’ve poisoned the world
Take what’s left until it’s only us against the hordes
Starving in the streets
Reach down deep inside for the strength to look away
At those sleeping in the streets
(Get your) M——O—N——E—Y
Make sure to thank them for their time
Time to snatch and grab as much as you can hold
“I moved on her like a bitch” - President Donald J. Trump
Do you hear the things they say to me
Oh yeah, oh no, are you gonna be in my nightmares
Why can’t I be a little closer to emergency
Why can’t I be so close so close you can’t see
If I could say all the right things and you want to hear them
Would you like that
You got the vice, I got the supply
We’re kids on a playground tonight
Make sure you don’t forget to tie off
And that you try it out with somebody
Now if you end up feeling too low
The other bag contains the remedy
This here supply, it fuels me
To work the night and day shift
Make sure you don’t forget to tie off
And that you try it out with somebody
Now if you end up feeling too low
The other bag contains the remedy
When you’re stuck in place while the world’s turning
Jettisoning worries might be your sole means to survive
The truth is you have never sunken lower
Questioning why it’s so fucking hard to get a cosign
Sometimes it’s not a question of cutting losses
But pressing pause on all the burdens to mental welfare
I truly hope one day to reassemble
At least a semblance of the past that I once shattered there
Above all, hope you’ll recognize me
How can this be? My supply’s but depleted
Yet I’ve made nothing, the sun’s rising
And when he sees my hands and pockets are empty
That’s it for me, might as well burn the rest
First we shoot and then we snort and then we’re fine
Night becomes the day becomes the night
Gotta get home and let Mom know I am fine
Gotta get back on top of my life
Wide awake I’ll take this hit then set my life straight, I’ll never pay them
This last time is all I need to get my head clear I’m not their puppet
Fuck this Right Now I want to feel safe and warm
I need to be back home with my family
First we shoot and then we snort and then we’re fine
Night becomes the day becomes the night
Gotta get home and let Mom know I am fine
Gotta get back on top of my life
‘Scuse me sir do you have any change to spare?
My car broke down and I need bus fare
And if you party I am sure that I can find
Some more good shit, yeah that really fine
Ran out myself, and had one last hit to blast off
Peripheral vision flies and moths
Blinking and twinkling in and out of it all
Blink until all the flies go away
Clip your wings before you start to fly
Never get high on your own supply
Foolish mortals with a word to the wise
Never did I think it would mean my demise
Surprise I’m fine, I’m the sunshine in a room full of dudes that are unkind
Tryin to unwind, have a few laughs but this dude right here is a jackass
Hashtag lightweight couldn’t keep his high straight
Killing my vibes stay the fuck outta my face
I’m straight I can hold mine no chase, but these fools run around like the dope’s laced
I’m great I can hold my own, there’s levels to this shit man I’m in my zone
What you tripping on? What you sipping on? Hold my hand goddamn man this shit is strong
These straps are too tight I need you to page my mind
What you sipping on
What you tripping on
Damn this shit is strong
Top speed had to exit stage left
Them weirdos haven’t mastered the wave yet
If I stay with them then I’m a train wreck
But when I’m all by myself I’m a safe bet
Step by step as the flames get high, tryin to make my escape from the lake and the fire
Had a strange feeling that it couldn’t get worse so I jumped off the top and I dove head first
Please know that if you’re tied to the anchor
Securely as it’s descending the depths
I honestly hope you’ll be inviting
I sincerely wish you’d go down with me
On a future date explorers will find
Our fossilized bones mixed on the sea floor
Next time let’s promise to meet in between
Promise to meet me somewhere in between?
We are opposites
Wake another day to life so hollow
Take another pill that won’t stay down
It reminds you of the day you realized your heroes were mortal
Wake to see the sun before it goes down
I saw you as you fell back down to Earth
Caught a glimpse as I rocketed away
Next time let’s promise to meet in between
Promise to meet me somewhere in between?
As we explode into a blinding white
Lightning inside the upper troposphere
I honestly hope you’ll be inviting
I sincerely wish you’d go down with me
We are opposites
Wake another day to life so hollow
Take another pill that won’t stay down
It reminds you of the day you realized your heroes were mortal
Wake to see the sun before it goes down
At the foot of my bed you kept caring watch of me all night
With your eyes, you are now part of my life
We’re chosen by fate and love has cast it’s spell over our minds
And it’s divine, we need no one else tonight
All we need is right here
Every day I can see your eyes light up with love
All we need is right here
We could move on from here
Have a two story home in the hills with a white picket fence
We could move on from here
We’re structurally compromised but we’ll use paint
And our love to cover up our defects
I’ll take us from here and move us to a place
Where there’s less noise, and no beeps, this traffic can be a nightmare
All we need is right here
Every day I can see your eyes light up with love
All we need is right here
We could move on from here
Have a two story home in the hills with a white picket fence
We could move on from here
Close my eyes and all I see is you
Christina
Takes but a moment to lose the ones close to you, now you’re gone
And looking up now I see
I’ve lost you, myself, everything
I know that you’re tired
I never came home to visit you
I know that you’re tired
You’re gone and this hole in my heart is for you
Self-medicating mess, I drop to the floor you are gone
A map materializes to guide when I am missing you
Tired, alone and waiting for
Someone help me understand this
I’d like to be back home
Tired, alone and waiting for
Can you help me understand this
Now nothing feels like home
I know that you’re tired
I never came home to visit you
I know that you’re tired
You’re gone and this hole in my heart is for you
I could never ever forget you
You taught me how to see you taught me how to hear
You reinforced the my strength talked me through my fears
I often wonder the exact moment I gave up hope for normalcy
There’s something about settling that just never settled with me
I’m not a puppet
And if I settle when I feel my full potential has not been achieved
Should I stifle my ambition just to do the normal thing
From time to time I realize my reality is a fleeting dream
Unraveling right at the seams
Unraveling right at the seams
If I were a real boy the kids would not all laugh at me
If I were a real boy then things would work out perfectly
But I’m not that real boy you read about in the papers
Another charming imposter you think you knew
And so I’ll sneak out the back door and I will run through the alley
Another selfish decision made without you
If I were a real boy
Things would’ve worked out perfect
If I were a real boy
If I were a real boy
You want one more
Where you’ll go
You won’t wanna know
Tell me what I’ve done I need to know
I’ve blocked out memories of vice filled nights and aggression
Yeah, reflection has it’s price
I’ve burnt the ones whom I love
Cut all ties from my addictions, a dark soul,my own
It grabs and possesses me
I want to find another
I want to find another
Now my families gone I’m on my own
This nightmare has no end, I must attempt to gain control
I’ve paid a mighty price, a lost opportunity
With this loss its sobering me, a dark soul, my own
It grabs and it consumes me
I want to find another
I want to find another
You want one more
Where you’ll go
You won’t wanna know
I want to find another
I want to take another
Oh God I am a monster
You want you want one more
Where you’ll go
You won’t wanna know (wanna know)
If you come out here to Los Angeles
We’ll watch the Pacific eat the sun
I’ll show you I’m really not a monster
Give me a chance to prove you wrong
