Octopus

Verse 1
I am a little octopus
on a treetop
Wait for the sirens to ring
And then my heart stops
Verse 2
I am a little delight
When you need it
But when i'm alone
I can feel my soul gets depleted
Chorus
When will I learn to live with myself
When will I be
An octopus in the sea
Verse 3
I feel a little bit out of place
All the time I'm trying to keep up the pace
And sometimes I get very far
But most times I'm too tired to start
Chorus
When will I learn to live with myself
When will I be
An octopus in the sea
End verse
I am a little octopus
on a treetop
Wait for the sirens to ring
And then my heart stops

Fat Sam Wonder

There was a fat little boy
With his headphones on
He was staring at the world
With his eyes closed
It seemed like life
Had taken its toll
And the boy
He had no place to go
His name was
Fat Sam Wonder
Fat Sam the great
The young boy wondered
Why he got so much hate
But when the man looked at him
He didn't like what he saw
Fat Sam wonder Couldn't die at 33
No his cause of death couldn't be obesity
The man said
There's a lot of little people
Lot of silly people
And they die real small
And they die real fast
Fat Sam had no right in the world
To take his life away so fast
So the world they pointed fingers
They listened to the man
Society the deity of morality said
You've gotta make a plan
He said
You look so thin
You look so weak
You really look like you could use something to eat
There was a fat little boy
With his headphones on
He was staring at the world
With his eyes closed
By now the voices had taken their toll
Had taken its toll
And the boy
He lost all control
They called him
Fat sam the blunder
Fat Sam the weak
The young boy surrendered
The stress made him eat

Girl I'd change it all
You gave me two times
But I blew it
and now I Sit here
with tears in my eyess
You wanted me on the potion,
You always took me with some ice
It's only me who tried to get away
I know I had my reasons why
But there ain't no rationality
There ain't no simple calculation
They say the grass is greener
But I'll say it like I mean it
I wish I had one more time
They say the grass is greener
But I'll say it like I mean it
I wish I had one more time
I wish you were here with me
Just for an hour, you'd see
How I look at you and feel about you
And how you made it so warm for me
And I know there's other guys
And I know it's easier
And I know if I just took that step that time
I'd be holding you not forever but you'd be in my arms
And that makes me blue

JP's Part
I don't think you know what I'm about
And everytime I'm thinking how you got so close to me today
You touched my core and you ripped me apart
You took me into the dark
Everytime that I try to try I see you try and I know that I'm falling
You got a touch that ripped the skin off of my chest I know the best test is failing cuz'
Love hurts everytime you want to be the one that sees a sixty
You don't know that all the dough that comes from pops is for my girl Mary
I don't think you know what I'm about
And everytime I'm thinking how you got so close to me today
You know that I am reminded how
You touched my core and you ripped me apart
You took me into the dark
Var!n
Rolling the blunt,
I got an urge to do what I want
Cause I got a girl whos crazy as what
So I take the Earth and crush that shit down cause I'm-
Rolling the blunt
I got an urge to do what I want
Cause I got a girl who's crazy as what?
She crazy as what,
I'm comatose, I'm so morose,
She got me shaking to my toes,
I don't know, what she want from me,
Already took my soul,
Try to tell myself its all just chemicals,
You don't love her its just-
Liquid in your brain,
That'll make you act insane,
Get you numbing out the pain,
So you smoke a little J,
Soon you looking at cocaine like-
Is it really quite as bad as they say?
Fuck it look at where I ended up playing safe,
I can't comprehend my thinking,
I can't even feel my face,
Cause she broke me down for parts,
What she took can't be replaced,
People tell me that this shit be-
Getting better as I age,
Shit I wish that they were right,
But my lungs seen better days,
It's getting colder every night,
Cause this bitch she cut my heating,
What an evening,
Now she leaving,
Now she trynna stop me breathing,
What's it mean if she could kill me-
Fore I ever think of leaving?
Probably got my damn priorities fucked,
Guess I'm shit out of luck,
And I'm shit out of love,
So I turn towards the dark,
Cloud my mind with the drugs, cause-

White teeth in that photograph but I just can't see you smiling anymore
Wide eyed and curious creature stay close but don't come near
Warm breath up against my face, i'm keeping you safe but I don't know for how long
The wild wind is blowing towards us, it's time to get moving, we can't stay here anymore
The walls are closing in and im running out of pages, the paper the ink is crawling out and i can get out of this cage wont you please help me
Pick the radio apart together and we might just find what we were looking for
Static noises flow above my head while im trying to find the answer to your fears
Mrs. Thomas who's living alone she told me to get on the phone immediately
The man on the phone, he told me you had three seconds, before he made sure you didn't leave
The walls are closing in and im running out of pages, the paper the ink is crawling out and i can get out of this cage wont you please help me
White teeth in that photograph but I just can't see you smiling anymore
