[Sing along Karaoke-style with the link in the comments section below]

I've been staring at the edge of my patience

Longer than I can take it

Never really knowing why.

I wish

I could just live with my mamma

But then I'd come back to the trauma

No matter how hard I try.

Every job I take,

Every house I track

Its my life at stake,

But every career leads back

To the place I know

I don't want to go,

Where I long to be.

See that home with the fence and the trees?

It calls me.

And I know

I can't afford to go.

And the debt that keeps coming after me

In this economy

One day I'll know

If I go, I'll start my life as a hobo.

I know

Everybody in their houses,

Seem so

Happy to have houses.

Oh, interior design.

I know everybody in this country

Has a role to be hungry.

A tummy's gotta learn to mime.

If I stay inside,

Would that be so wrong?

I could sacrifice

And cry all nightlong

Maybe save my tithes;

Sadness tags along—

What is wrong with me?

And the light in the sky that is free

It's blinding

But then I know:

I can't afford to go

And the stress it keeps clawing after me,

Its so heavy.

But I don't know

What's beyond that porch,

Can I own a porch?

See that house with the birds and the breeze?

It calls me

And even though,

I can't afford to go.

If I cling to this hope I'll break free,

If I'm lucky

Cuz my heart, it knows:

I've got to go!

My world, it's desolate

My past, I covet it

My sacrosanct sweetheart

Wanna grieve, but I can't start

This loneliness a liar

Setting my world on fire

This situation's dire

Please get this through the wire

God, through heaven, please tell her

Thought she'd live 'til December

That darkness filled disease

Just tell her to come back, please

(Blues Lyrics)

I come as advertised.

I’m the real McCoy.

When men stand against me,

I turn ’em into boys.

I breathe fire, spit bullets,

sweat blood, knock down walls.

And when my anger burns,

my fists echo through the halls.

When I love a woman,

she feels the stuff of dreams.

My kiss, my touch, my arms

burst her hidden seams.

I run and fuck and fight

all day and through the night.

I’m the real deal,

the real McCoy.

I come as advertised.

I come as advertised.

I’m the real deal.

I was partying at all night raves,

looking for what was real

when heartache, loneliness, pain

were jamming up my wheels.

And when my fire’s lit

there ain’t no putting it out.

I can go all night long,

make you scream and shout.

And if that’s too much for you

I’ll back off and pull out.

I’ll find someone else to settle this storm.

I’ve raised hell since the day I was born.

I’m the real deal,

the real McCoy.

I come as advertised.

I come as advertised.

And you better believe it.

Or you could be one of those chumps

who still don’t know what hit.

My mind is sharp like razors,

my creativity off the charts.

Every single place I go

I leave music, words and art.

My thirst and my hunger

for experience can’t be quenched.

Come within my orbit

and you’ll find yourself drenched

with thought and wonder and joy,

safe from the dangers I destroy

because I’m the real deal,

the real McCoy.

I come as advertised.

All my friends are fake

They are starting to feel like snakes

Leave them in the past

Had to grow up young

Fighting the Demons

They Grabbing at my soul

Lit my demons on fire

Pray they burn off

I'm living the sweet life

Livin' in a powder keg givin' off sparks

ain't water under the bridge

I don't belong here

Head spinning

no kidding

You're a firework

The brightest colors

fill my head

Addicted to a certain kind of sadness

Walk the plank

Remember the dream

With our eyes wide open we

bullets scream

to the sound of the beat

Floating around in ecstasy

I was born this way

I was born in the U. S. A.

Despite the things you said to me

I will always love you

The feeling still deep down is good

If I need to talk are you around?

Cause since you've been gone

I've got along but I've been sad.

And I just wanna

spin you 'round and 'round this dance floor

still chasing you, still chasing you

and you've got a smile that can light up this whole town

It's a love story

Baby just say "yes"
