Deep and slow, but that's how it goes If anyone asks, yeah, I already know 'Cause I got this pain in my chest, every time I swim to consciousness And I misspelt every word perfectly Every mistake made was purposely And my head is pounding to the beat of my heart You are a broken heart tattoo, I'll have forever on my chest For a love that I have lost But never could forget Say what you have to say Try not to cry This is just not what you wanted, at this point in your life It's so hard to stay When all you wanna do is ride I totally get you I was a birdcage, and you were meant to fly You are a broken heart tattoo, I'll have forever on my chest For a love that I have lost But never will forget I shook 'til I came out of it I shook 'til I came out of it I shook 'til I came out of it I shook 'til I came out of it Let's sit down, we'll sit down proud We'll sit down proud We'll sit down Nothing matters, the importance of nothing Nothing matters, the importance of nothing Nothing matters, the importance of nothing That's what you taught me while I was barely listening Nothing matters, the importance of nothing (oh, oh, oh) Nothing matters, the importance of nothing (oh, oh) Nothing matters, the importance of nothing (oh, oh, oh) Nothing matters, nothing matters (oh, oh)

Dentists tell you not to pick your teeth with any sharp metal object. And then you sit in their chair and the first thing they grab is an iron hook. Now the dentist pulls out a needle. This is to deaden the pain. So you open up. Now a regular doctor giving you a shot will go --- --- ---. Dentists don't do that. They go ---. And you're there (gasping). Then they want to talk to you. "Do you ever do any fishing?" "Uh-uh." "Where do you usually go?" "---------- with a in my mouth." "Yes, I have been there many times myself." Now he pulls the needle out, puts this thing in your mouth. This will suck up your face. The dentist goes outside to laugh at you. And you sit, grown-up intelligent human being, arguing with this thing. You also notice that the right side of your face feels like it is sliding off of your skull and your bottom lip is in your lap. So the dentist comes back. You want to talk to him. So you say, "I was wondering . . ." "I beg your pardon." "I said I was wondering about my face." "I don't understand." "My face. My face. Do you see my face?" "The what?" "If I be ---- my face?" "Your face?" "Yes." "What's the matter with it?" "What's the matter with it? My face, my face is hanging down . . . do you see this? This is my bottom lip. It wasn't like this when I came in here." "Well, I will fix it." "I hope so. Because if you put the needle in my mouth, my face went ----, my bottom lip is on the floor. So I can't live with it like this now." "I'll fix it." "Ok." Now he starts to drill. And you see and smell smoke coming out of your mouth. So you say, "Wait a minute!" "What's the matter?" "Smoke." "What?" Smoke, smoke, smoke. There is some smoke that is coming out of my mouth." "I don't understand." "Fire! Do you understand the fire? There is a fire in my mouth and the smoke is coming out because there is fire. And my face is hanging on the floor." "The fire?" "Yeah." "Where?" "Never mind, never mind." Now he drills some more and you hear him make a mistake. And to cover it up, they all say the same thing: "Ok. Rinse." 1 "Rinse? You ask me to rinse? I don't have a bottom lip. How can I rinse?" "Give it a try." "Give it a try. Ok." Grab the cup. Pour the water. It runs all down. "I hope that you are satisfied. I hope that you are satisfied. I put the water in my mouth. I told you that I can't rinse because I have no bottom lip. The water is all down on my leg. I hope that you are satisfied." "Rinse again." "You've gotta be kidding me." So you pick it up, put a bit. Now you got to spit into this miniature toilet bowl. You have no bottom lip, so you let it all fall out, say "thank God for gravity." Now you want to sit back but you can't because hanging from your bottom lip is a long line and you can't get it off your bottom lip. So you sit back. Now you have a line from the bowl to your bottom lip. The dentist looks at it and says "Oh, look. A rainbow."

Lying here blank I'm an object Subject to all of my foes And out of all those who would profit Could be the worst one I know Stare at the darkness Comforter covers my colds I'm barely even conscious Even as consciousness grows I ain't tryna get up without no love and with no Mack Been a number years now since I been on track to get off track You can see it in my eyes every morning at the butt crack a dawn Curled back stretching toward the sky rub crust from my eye yawning Same Same damn shit same fuckin way Momma done taught us to make a meal that way We used to roll up in the woods Lumberjacks with all da good good mantra Out of the silence the tic and the tock Flashing red violent screams from the clock It's a warning Every morning Something inside me said wake yo ass up Something else telling me question myself In the morning Every morning Every morning it's a struggle tween me and my own demons Half asleep but woke enough to divide time from the seasons Quit you yapping ain't no relaxing amongst all a you all bitching Shrill screams crush my dreams but which of deem is da fiction Lying here sunk down deep in this bed that I sleep in Nightmare's frightening affairs got me gasping for breathing In a sense ho yeah I'm to blame I belong to my freedoms But at the same time Your a physical manifestation of a sequence of events which Pre-existed every decision ever envisioned within the precincts of this prison Bitch enough with the Who's to say even if I could I'd crawl back up out this depression Time served behind these bars won't void a lick of my sentence So why bother closing my eyes wrapped up in my wishful pretending If I can't rewriting the ending If these hands can't even bend it In the Bush We was getting high cruising 9 and mother fucking 20 OE on the slip and slide You're in the bush now Pussy Ring the alarm Ring the alarm Down for the count In with the drama Bounce to da ounce Swinging my arms Wound up and out Set me to sound off You all for da clout Mall bout da power Bitch I'm about To scream out in horror Out of the silence the tic and the tock Flashing red violent screams from the clock It's a warning Every morning Something inside me said wake yo ass up Something else telling me question myself In the morning Every morning You waking me up You take up all my time You've shaken my love You wave and pass me by It's never enough You take and take what's mine Ain't giving no fucks It's the nature of your mind

I know what it was like to lose someone who raised you Did they still love you when they lost their grip in overdose? Facing doors I'd never hold a key to Searching for gold in a broken home I know what it was like to have a gift to give away I know what it was like to prove to them you had something But someone just like me Took the world away from you Just like me Took the world away from you Someone just like me Took the world away from you Away from you Searching for gold in a broken home I'm drawing blood, blood from a stone I have nothing, no silver lining Just the guilt of surviving I have nothing but the guilt left in me Someone just like me Took the world away from you Someone just like me Took the world away from you Someone just like me Took the world away from you Away from you Away from you Away from you I'm still trying, your will dying I'm still trying, your will dying I'm still trying, your will dying
