Pensive I used to Speak and Spell and dream I was the bestest Corduroy jeans, my running legs sound like engines The whole world seemed a step closer Watching every line I doodle, breathing on my left shoulder I shaved my bare face and listened to Nirvana Watching MTV when they blurred out marijuana Flipping through the channels Watching scrambled porn, my teen years Pillow lined face, I'm waking up Don't wanna sleep here I picked my scabs and hid my cigarettes from Dad Kirsten was my first kiss, metal braces when she laughed I used to sneak out of the house and tag the street signs Photosynthesizing under moon beams and street lights I smoked weed, had twitchy knees and laughed my ass off You used to write me love letters I learned to write rap songs Family used to tell me, can't believe how big I've gotten Almost thirty three, I feel the same about these youngins often. Hook I did the party thing through every single weekend Same damn party, you can take your shots and keep em I did the party thing through every single weekend Don't miss the drinking, but miss the people on the frequent Digital Monster I often feel that I'm too negative, my excuse is I'm a realist Winter proves most difficult, by far the darkest season Bury burden yearly, lonely matinee repeated I wear my scars in silence, but so far I'm undefeated Realm of possibilities, weight of expectations Suffocation insecurities, crumbling foundations Thank god its all pretend though, super friends will let go Careful not to wake you as they exit through the window White balloon consumes desire for flight That efforts wasted I suppose I'll come to grips with How things aren't the way they've tasted Taking on the whole world, albeit rather roughly Navigating Village Green upon my chariot, red Huffy Sunsets then were different, maybe that's because I'm taller now When streetlights start to flicker on Worried mothers holler out Environments unstable, out imaginations thriving We were anything we wanted, we were all the way alive then. Hook I did the party thing through every single weekend Same damn party, you can take your shots and keep em I did the party thing through every single weekend Don't miss the drinking, but miss the people on the frequent Pensive And its a shame the way my belly overhang Make promise to myself, one day I'll be in perfect shape I'll be better, I'll relearn the cursive letters I'll wear a suit and tie, no more hooded sweatshirt I'll cut off cursing and remember every birthday I'll get a better job and see a therapist on Thursday I'll have a wife and make little baby Pensives straighten out my taxes, have a place within the census Practice meditation, contribute art worth giving I've prayed before god, I've snickered at religion I'll overcome addiction, find solace in afflictions Devise a pot to piss in I am strong enough for living, living, living, if anything I know that I'll just say my peace and you can have this microphone back I saw my first sun September morning bawling 1983, I promise to be awesome I learned about life in the woods building dirt jumps Cut yourself a big lip, bust your noggin on the first run Forgive my trespasses, I know I'm exhausting Grandiose visions, what can't I accomplish? I've lied my whole life, you ask me if I'm honest I know there is a price to pay for every broken promise Every expectation on my back, body drooping One day it'll kill me but for now I'll make it music Hook x 2 I did the party thing through every single weekend Same damn party, you can take your shots and keep em (M-A-D-N-E-S-S) I did the party thing through every single weekend Don't miss the drinking, but miss the people on the frequent (M-A-D-N-E-S-S)
