A Better Place

(album: Beneath The Toxic Jungle - 2015)

[Rav:]
Nah-nah, nah-nah
Nah-nah, nah-nah

Still ain't sleeping at night
What am I 'gon do?
I bet that if I could sleep though I'd probably dream about you
And that's why I don't want to sleep, I've no mind left to lose
These lyrics getting so hard to read, my artistry is my noose
But I'm a win it all, independent of all these cynical critics
If you ribbit, leap or fall
Sick of all self-ridicule
Got to get it all together even though we're not together anymore
I've matured now, got the cure now
Burned down every bridge, guess this, it turns out
That she's burnt hers down, long before I figured ours wouldn't work out
So I'm sitting in this herb cloud
At Earth turns round, my mind spins
Where the fuck have I been?
Been lost on an island of self-pity, it's quite grim

Soul searching but no merchant
Offers happiness or purpose
It's all worthless
I'm so certain that I can cope with this hurt
And I could always Kurt Cobain if nothing else works
I'm just saying though

I just want to chill at a steady pace
Feel like I could kill just to get some space
So, I'm gon' build me a better place
Yeah, I'm gon' build me a better place
Building and building
I'll be feeling much better
I just want something real
Something realer than ever
Yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah
So, I'm gon' build me a better place
Yup, I'm gon' build me a better place

[Rekcahdam:]
Is this life even worth it?
All these strives that I'm working
Every night 'til it's perfect
It's not right less I'm certain
But 'til life close the curtains
I've got to cope with this hurting
So I'ma smoke like a furnace
Get wasted on purpose
Cuff your girl if she flirting
Cause I can cut like a surgeon
Cuff your girl if she thirsting
Cause I can fuck 'til she squirting
Back to work, tuck my shirt in
My emotions reverting
To a state of recursion
In a world of hate and disturbance
When before I was bursting
With life, was it worth it?
Isn't it quite concerning that every night I'm conversing
With myself?

[Rav:]
Soul searching but no merchant
Offers happiness or purpose
It's all worthless
I'm so certain that I can cope with this hurt
And I could always Kurt Cobain if nothing else works
I'm just saying though

I just want to chill at a steady pace
Feel like I could kill just to get some space
So, I'm gon' build me a better place
Yeah, I'm gon' build me a better place
Building and building
I'll be feeling much better
I just want something real
Something realer than ever
Yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah
So, I'm gon' build me a better place
Yup, I'm gon' build me a better place

[Ashido Brown:]
Face to the sea and the sea to the stars
Reach for the stars, my brother
No need for the raws or the gars
Just leap with the wings on your feet
Sing to the beat
Sling cocaine for your peeps be meek cause it's good for the heart
They got fiends in the streets in they car
Fiending for the peace cause its hard to remember who you are when you're gone
Hollywood, Hollywood
And my ship don't sink tonight
Can I follow my dreams
And hollow the swallow of strings to build tomorrow's regime?
The sorrow of living between the hype and flashing lights
Passing before my sight I'll never know everlasting life
Life
Like
Nah-nah, nah-nah
Nah-nah, nah-nah

[Outro:]
Je t'aime mon amour
