[Intro]

One, two

One, two

One, two

One, two

Check me, check me out

What

Yo

[Verse ]

You told me not to hold my breath

I'm still blue in the face

Watch my bleeding painting dry

Try to move into my space

It takes the life out of me

Parts of me died on this trail

Where I'm coming from

They'll understand me more when all else fails

Just listen to the song

The pitch's all wrong

The shit I'm on, I've stepped in

I left it out of focus all along

Fix my alarm clock, it's set for 9:01

Vinyl's spun, made it sound broken

It's only me out in the open

Ahead of my time, not likely

Cause ya still sleeping

8:59 ain't the title or the time I'm leaving

Find the reasons why I didn't

Undecided by critics

I'm not different

I'll cross the line when I decide to finish

What I started in the first place

But ended up in last

Race, in reinvented wheels

A soapbox that crashed

Cash ya loopholes

There's still fish inside my puddle

Sick of double crosses

Drop a line in someone else's troubled waters

I'm makin waves, and with this splash

I'll make ya boat tip

Found you going down with your crew

Posing as poets

Fuck the woe, it's me

We're taking poetry for granted

Talk is cheap

And ya buying it

Supplying it with standard (stand in???)

I've watched these kids play them self in someone else's role

Puppets are getting propped up now

I've seen their strings after shows

Half them know they can't keep afloat their dead weight

Cross the line, broke the red tape

I'm making heads shake

Just a face in the crowd

None of the above shooting time

Weigh em to arrows but nothing stuck

Just another, dust collecting record

Washed up on the shore

Not worth sampling

Cramped in free bins in record stores

It skips at the same part

I know it all by heart

It's 9:01, vinyls spun

Fix your alarm clock

I know you talk behind my back

But now it's up against the wall

And you're on the other side with the glass

Trying to hear it all

I'm trying to make a name

And find my place inside ya crate

For something so important

I got nothing to show for it

Still, there comes a time

When the music stops and ends

Don't be surprised

If I end up just a name on a park bench

[Hook]

Just a name on a park bench

Park bench

Just a name on a park bench

Park bench

I'm just a name on a park bench

Park bench

I'm just a name

I'm just a name

You have to go against the grain

If you want to make a name

You have to go against the grain

If you're trying to make a name

Go against the grain

If you want to make a name

Go against the grain

Trying to make a name

Just carve ya name in that park bench

Cause it'll last forever

Last forever

*scratching*

"On a park bench"

(Im out)

[Outro]

"I'm sliding toward the sewer

I'm not struggling. I can smell the shit

But I'm still breathing

I'm going to live my life

I'm not going to make a difference

I'm not going to change a thing

No one's going to remember me when I'm dead."
