F you're wondering how we landed here You were watching the waves and drinking beer You don't even remember standing up Truly I don't either At some point you waded to your waist As you slipped further out the stakes were raised Finally you were surrounded and for what A water darker and deeper In 1997 I became myself And 20 minutes later I began to melt The cycle leads to and the course of time The shifting definitions that comprise a life The people I become and the people I don't recognize If you're wondering who arranged the mess Some exceptions were made I grant, I guess While we all let the peak of the parade The underbelly went lethal In 2007 tried to build a bridge Between know how I was living and how I could live Tricked myself into thinking I'd done enough Once I got across I didn't blow it up Yeah I closed some lanes, all it really takes is one Open name to tear apart all your works So fine you are, delicate unachieve all your half philosophy Style points, blind belief a whirling perpetuity The ocean warm that knows you did the same before So in 2017 we did away with facts All negotiation with a battle axe The gruesome ideology is center shame American identity was laid to waste We're black lit and exposed Sugar stripped and it's made clean The people I become The people I can't replicate
