Prolific - Metamorphosis lyrics

I'm breathing slow, leaving home,time for me to feed my soul I want to be the seed that grows, and breaks a crack beneath the road To each his own but at night where do these people go Give me time to read this poem,time for me to reach a goal I'm nineteen years old a poet and a city slacker Ahead of my time cuz I know that nothing really matters Life is cinematic in an unexpected format I found the key to success it was left under the doormat I sort back through open letters and bobbles and trinkets Bottles and ribbons and lists of what I wanted for Christmas I fell in love, but now I'm far from that princess I tried to pull her back but all I got was a ripped dress I think it's best for us to rejoice in our past falls Break through straight jackets and leave white rooms with scratched walls Cuz why sleep when I could be twisting restless And calling my ex-girl on lines long disconnected Introspective, to the point I drive myself insane Lose my ego, but then find myself in vain This is for every man who isn't all there And willing to risk it all on a triple dog dare Chorus It goes… 1 to the open land, 2 to the lovers 3 with the broken hands, 4 for those above us 5 for the troubled youth, and 6 for the devils 7 for the unamused, and 8 for the rebels…… A hopeless romantic and a manic-depressive Dance in my mind every moment like the past and the present It's a mix of emotions I still hold with a female And being six listening to the ocean in a seashell See…. I emerged on this earth To shoot a smile and a verse then return to the dirt For what it's worth, I'm poet at heart A long road … when you don't know where to start So give me a motel six and a greyhound bus Some gas station stops and a steak house lunch A few flings and a memory of playground love And I'll lay down dust over my days out done Thinking, I've lived my life as an angel A proverb, a scholar - a babe in a cradle An artist, a dreamer, a laymen, a scapegoat It's strange though - cuz I've always been playing the same role Metamorphosis! Chorus
