lyrics

look what I wrote
look what I made it's never
good enough and you wonder
why I never say

why waste more time
out of your important
day just to convey
what you won't get anyway

swear to god you
mother fuckers are making
me lost my head
and with it my art

parts in pieces
now separate angles
and i'm gonna reach through
your speakers and strangle

every last one of you
if I don't get every
little bit back, yeah
you understood that
step back, lick a blade
look what genesis made
reptile tongue on
your perfect little face

everybody needs to know
a little bit of pain
and with it they can claim...
at least an inch of gain
like,
every step you take
is a stair you didn't have
a foot print you hadn't
yet made in the path

(0:49)
you have to know good
before you understand the bad
if you were no good
from the start
(get on track)
(work back)
(work fast)
(that's the past)

like it's been 4 years from
then we've laid down
that's at least 2 pairs of
shoes ago now

and who knows how many
footsteps passed
how many pebbles kicked
and blades of grass smashed

how many little bits of soul
left on the asphalt
concrete wood panel
linoleum and tile

everyone is different now
that's the truth about it
just severity depends and is
the real reason you doubt it

the growth is eclectic
and stranger than fiction
caught up in a lesson
and lost in what i'm missing
but every day's a new breath
and makes me feel gifted
listen real well
and make the right decision

handbook called this
instrumental genesis
and obviously, I
call myself the same shit
so this could be for you
the same it is for us
a new beginning, just
shaking off all your rust
(x2)
