If I were to start again

Would I do it any different

Than how it went down

All these ups and downs

Like a buoy in the ocean

You think you're floating but

The waves cave in like the fall of the wall

That separate chance and order and

All you're trying to do is

Keep your head above the water

When the clouds bring rain

To refresh your brain

Bad memories fade

And so does the pain

Thus in theory it begs the question

Would I be better off without seeing these tribulations

Or is it necessary for a champion to meet

Trials on the path to true jubilation

Like getting to the finals and scoring a hat trick

Roar at the crowd never mind the theatrics

Will power alone can make the whole world pause

Like palming the globe like you own it

The synchronicities you couldn't have planned for

The stuff of a folklore

Even if you knew it was coming

You wouldn't have hit it

Like a high heat up and in, a bean coming in

While it's happening you watch your own body react

Jerk faster than the thought of, where my baby at?

Your entire life flashes in random access

Who the hell said you can't avoid what and taxes?

You can live free forever

Impregnate the earth

Before the spirit and the host link sever

For good like eternity, headed where the best be

Rest in serenity with my foreign family

Friends that stick with you

When you're sick with em

Then you realize that love makes blood a thick liquid

Make you warm in the cold like a cardigan

Fresh like a mulligan

Gonna start again

Are you with me?

Stay the course, why give up

When there's a light at the end of the interstate

Veer off wide and the ride might disintegrate

Please don't sleep now

You might not awake in the morning

Drive through the night just to fight this yawning

So you keep going till the break of dawning

But the eyes start to play weird tricks on ya

Reflection on the windshield flicks on ya

So you try to focus on the yellow line or the white poles

But the mist makes it impossible to follow

And you see little people on the side of the road

Waving at you like they know you

And they're already gone

By the time you can check the rear view

Then an old man in a bike scare the crap out of you

You read the speedometer, it says 65

Then he smiled with a wink and disappeared like an owl

Your heart skip a beat like a needle on a record

And it picks right up on a groove in a second

But that 100 millisecond seemed more like a thousand

Had mad dreams about cruising the islands

Then you get a grip like a vice on wood

Snap out of a trip like a mice trap would

You wanna take a leak but you don't wanna stop

Cause you can't look back like you're running from the cops

But you're not

Crack the window and ha you're freezing

Tickling the nostrils and choo you're sneezing

And you go, I can't do this anymore

One thing's for sure, I need discipline

Gonna start again

If I were to start again

Would I do it any different

Than how it went down

All these ups and downs

Like a buoy in the ocean

You think you're floating but

The waves cave in like the fall of the wall

That separate chance and order and

All you're trying to do is

Keep your head above the water

When the clouds bring rain

To refresh your brain

Bad memories fade

And so does the pain

Allow me to state it simply

The brutal truth exists within me

I plea mea culpa but not for forgiveness

Cry me a river, nah right, if I could kiss

Miss devil on the temple bye, adieu

And if I avoid contact for a few

I can void a contract like a two-face

The last word tastes cool but it ain't food like toothpaste

Take a mint and a hint

See a tint in your iris, a dent in my pride

D.i.y? oh f.y.i recognize I can fly and I'm not gonna hide

So I treat every week like

Eat every meal like

Write every song like it's gonna be my last

In the instance should I be tapped to go the distance

Would I feel ready to leave everything

All the shenanigans

Imagination flows infinitely

Like a game of ping pong on a table made of glass

In a room full of mirrors and you let the days pass...
