Uphill Climb

Sarcasm

I'm just an alchemist, I turn pens and papers into verses

Turn three verses into a song that makes you nervous

Turn ten songs into an album with a purpose

And I'll plant that seed in a place deep beneath the surface

Water that seed 'till the trees grow tall as birches

The tree bears fruit, the sun gives heat like a furnace

The fruit provides nourishment for every single person

But the fruit becomes worthless, surrounding climate worsens

So I go back to the lab, create a different version

But something seems odd, those pens and papers just ain't working

Now the situation's changed and everything seems uncertain

I'll stop planting those seeds because it's time to close the curtains

I'll move all over, you can say I get around

I walk along the highways, turn up in every town

My hands reach out and steal life without a sound

Make a speech on every soapbox, when I just want to get down

This is my Jordan year so pour the beer imported wine

Accordingly I am acting finely tuned and fully lunar mode

Eclipse the sun and send the coded letter, open read it

hoping you can be the one to make me feel a little bit better

It's that the sun settin stars coming, climbin hills and running head down

Got to make it to the lake by sundown

So we can wash away this awful clay that molds us holds us

In its sway as soldiers bar the way I turn around and walk away

chorus

An example of a low pressure bad apple collabo

Haven't you noticed our main focus how the topics get tackled?

caught in a downhill spiral, once our cages get rattled

Don't you realize that real life is an uphill battle

Catch Paul he's falling like leaves in autumn

You aught to see him now he's calling from the absolute bottom

These Colosseum columns got him in a bad situation

If it's the last temptation, or the fact that I'm facing impact

I'm embracing myself for the crash from awaiting

Meanwhile back at the station, people are pacing in confession for perversions

Raising the question, why were we raised in deception?

Fuck all this stress, you got me blazing in obsession

Crazed in aggressiveness for days in this maze of obsession,

just a blessing in disguise, just depression I'm guessing

Just a lesson for the trouble burnt bubble and blistered-ness

Twisted limp wristed pissed double fist

Sarcasm

Just a thinkin man swimming in the sinking sands of ___

Heart so cold my soul is exposed to the force

But I don't suppose you know there's folks who got strife

Never look back because you might turn to salt like ___ wife.

Caught in a lotta hot spots, gotta drink cold beer lots,

take a load off, hard rocks at the core so soft...

Throw rocks at the cold sun. for me wander off and on

and only wonder how long before we see home

Governor Bolts

From the seashore, to the tree tops, my feet rocks, to the beach stop

With each step, get my feet wet, and my speech flex, when the beat drops

From the mind works, to the sun tight And my face shifts, to the sunlight

And my eyes burn, to the sandquakes And Sky turns, into landscape

Chorus

An example of a low pressure bad apple clapple

Haven't you noticed our main focus off the top is get tackled?

Get in a downhill spiral, once our cages get rattled

Don't you realize that real life is an uphill battle

An example of a low pressure bad apple clapple

Haven't you noticed our main focus off the top is get tackled?

Get in a downhill spiral, once our cages get rattled

Don't you realize that real life is an uphill battle
