Don't Blink (Or We May Miss It) - Nodes of Ranvier

The world has shut me out If I give everything I'll lose everything Everything is about me I am the most important thing And you really haven't thought All those cyclical thoughts for a while? And as it keeps going I could never be involved I could never really see in real time I could never be involved And as it keeps on going I could avoid real time I could ignore my busy mind I could avoid contact with eyes I could avoid going outside I could avoid wasting my life I could avoid I could avoid 20 20 sight I could avoid standing in line I could avoid the 405 I could avoid coming to life I could say anything I like I could switch off whenever I like I could sleep whenever I like I could leave in the middle of the night But I'd miss it Don't miss it Don't miss it like I did And as it keeps going If there's no need for the perfect image And nothing seems that wrong Don't miss it When you know there's better conversation waiting for you at home And as it keeps on going You forget whether it was the beginning or end When you can't believe your luck You're with your friend When you get to hang out with your favourite person everyday When the dull pain goes away Don't miss it When you stop being a ghost in a shell And everybody keeps saying you look well Don't miss it Like I did Don't miss it Don't miss it like I did Like I did

We came to win We came to win And what we get back is What we put in We gon' lose family And lose friends But we chasing our dreams And as a means to an end Now, tell my girl I'll be gone to November We locked in, we got public defenders Telling contenders, retreat or surrender 'Cause history is written by winners We train in the winter, spring, summer, fall! And we coming for it all This might mean nothing to y'all But we hungry, and we want it all Take this as a lesson That you got to get your reps in Train every second So you won't come in second Seeing your progression 'Cause of hard work Knowing it was destined Keeping God first You made it out the dirt By paying your dues Hating to lose Playing to win Stayed in the gym Not here to make friends Yet we stay to the end 'cause We came to win We came to win And what we get back Is what we put in We gon' lose family And lose friends But we chasing our dreams And as a means to an end We came to win We came to win Down with my team Give a f-who we Against Win by any means Don't care who we offend We won before And we want it again We came to win Whether it's the 4th quarter Or last round Or the final inning Or the last down We trained years, for the task now But you was never there, you were the class clown Crunch time, you scared And you back down Weirdo, living in the past now Feeling all depressed Dealing with the stress Living with regrets That you never did your best Say it's your fault, take the loss Then shake it off, stay the course Time still exist, find you a niche 'Cause I'm kinda of sick of you Whining like a b- (whining like a b-) Instead of trying to get rich Switched your routine, read some books Did the extreme, that's what it took Hoping right now This hook got you hooked 'cause We came to win We came to win And what we get back Is what we put in We gon' lose family And lose friends But we chasing our dreams And as a means to an end We came to win We came to win Down with my team Give a f- who we against Win by any means Don't care who we offend We won before And we want it again We came to win We came to win And what we get back Is what we put in We gon' lose family And lose friends But we chasing our dreams And as a means to an end We came to win We came to win Down with my team Give a f- who we against Win by any means Don't care who we offend We won before And we want it again We came to win

Can you still be moved by song or are you too far gone? It\'s all there but I refuse to believe the negativity will tear away you life Unanswered questions continue clogging sight they\'ll never cease They\'ll chew you up, they\'ll spit you out, leave you for dead Cuts more than skin deep, shadows have been cast on us Lifeless and barely breathing, something is around us spreading like disease So will you fight the feeling? But words won\'t make you understand The good of everything, won\'t wait for you to bend, start again It\'s far beyond me, where pessimists find pride But above all things, but above all things That words cannot express, cannot express The greatest gift we bear, the ability to change

As we bow to soverignity, I'm feeling programmed by your... Carry me away. Take me away from here. My head has got the best of me again. But now I'm finding, damn your lying. This charade has got to end. Through organized deception, we become investments. As an attempt to commercialize pain. Have we no shame? As we bow to sovereignity. Flesh and bone machines worked their way in me. This competition, forced opinion takes its toll on me. The dawning age of dehumanization. As we bow to sovereignity, I'm feeling programmed tuned by your lies. Swallow the light, lies it feels warm inside. Through organized deception, we've become investments. There's no moving me. Right here is where I'll be. It's gonna take more than words to get a rise from me. There's no moving me. Swallow the light. Lies. It feels warm inside. Swallow the light. Lies. They mudered the mind. Murdering minds. Lies... it feels warm inside. Plastic silicone goddess. International tele-violence. Neurological battering offense. Mutilation of the conscience. The only reception clear to me, is this longing for eternity.

You have to be kidding me It must be buried three inches deep And no one is here to help dig it out And, I am not suprised because they will no doubt take your word ("Everyone loves juicy gossip") So I guess I'll just sleep it off (On my stomach of course) And whenI see you next I'll kill you with a smile
