[Verse 1: Slug]

Who's lost and who's the boss?

How'd his head get chewed off?

Open your mouth, spit it out

Move ain't enough for tryin' to lift the crowd

I missed the bus but I caught the flight

Mischievous and it cost my life

Atop the bridge, count the cars below

Wishing time would slow so I could stop to go

Leaning to the sides and making the turn again

I'm learning the turns and I'm familiar with the terms

Tryin' to shed light with the songs I write

But the lights require fire now I'm covered with burns

Seventh degree, put my flesh in the heat

Too much adrenaline for just lettin' it be

Sometimes I wish that they would leave me dead in the streets

But I feel like half a human when I'm restin' my feet

[Verse 2: Doseone & Alias]

I don't know, that huge thing sure is a long ways off

And my strength is quickly reducing

What if by chance we got lost?

That's a good point, that has also passed through my head

Big belly river, ocean wide, that it is a lot bigger than me

Ooooh, I shudder at the thought

And I'm painfully aware of opinions playing a big role

Wishing I could release myself from this depressing strangle hold

Blind un- fold sure all self shame worth

Blind un- fold sure all self-worth ashamed


[Hook: Dose & Sole]

Hiding almost out of breath on the other side of the lights

Fingering our belly buttons dreaming of the bigger things in life

Hiding out of breath on the other side of the lights

It's fingering out belly buttons thinking of the bigger things in life!


[Verse 3: Alias]

How God awful does this sound have to be

For me to gain a large core audience? Plainly change is in the air

But when the spotlight is swung in my direction will anybody care?

Constantly this train runs through my head, daydreaming

My connection to it all is supported by poles

Thank God last year I invested in the spring board

It made the most important thing in one of my best friend's life

It's exactly one orbit later and the pangs of being unsure

Haunt my every waking day, am I being selfish

For creating myself and friends first and the others second?

I wouldn't change it for the world yet I feel stuck

Between a rock and a three thousand mile trip that kept getting pushed back

Causing more of this discussion

The art of confidence is not one of my strongest areas

And probably never will be, probably never will be


[Verse 4: Slug]

Wishful thinking at an all-time high

Kiss the demons and make 'em all cry

Standin' at the window watchin' the wind

Countin' the tears that get caught in my grin

Chewin' on the center of interest investin'

All the time and the pride that rests upon my chest

Continue gathering twigs to build my nest

Self-battlin', eatin' up epiphanies for breakfast

I went to all the parties, I met all the women

And I've stood at the center of the prism

To the left of attention and to the right of the universe

As bad as it is, I gotta believe that it could be worse

Walkin' through the rain and the millennium

Where lazy and convenient is the mother of invention

I must have the guts to mention to the man in the reflection

Yo, what you lookin at? (what are you lookin' at?)


[Verse 5: Dose]

Ooooh there's some climbing going on

Adam's found his courage, Adam's found his courage

Open, put on display puddle perfect, open again

The happy one's a poison pen leaking all over me, all over in order

I'm rolling at this movie of a poet's wife

Staring at my belly button, thinking of the bigger things in life

Hiding almost out of breath on the other side of the lights

Little things in life, it's quiet
