about

I wrote the lyrics to this song while i was relearning how to do an ollie impossible on a skateboard.

lyrics

we're much more productive from the comfort of our rooms
we're casually seductive every 3 quarter moon
we might just take a marker & draw a line right down your face
the young ones think we're something
& the old ones swear that we're a disgrace

I'll take the room without the bed
a garage where I can unlodge what's in my head
& I will pay attention like I am in debt
but that don't guarantee that they'll agree
with all the words that I want said...once said
we're busy baking our own bread.

& doing the impossible once again
going out to the enemy & coming home with a friend
it's nice to see you truly realize
you're playing with fire...playing with fire.

steady as we take our shots
we barely notice all the gold that's in our pot
cause we been taking a little bit & making it a lot.
you know it's not a race so don't you waste
all of the good things that you've got...you got
that kind of shit that hits the spot

doing the impossible once again
going out to reality & coming back with the rent
it's nice to see you truly realize
they're telling lies...a boat load of lies

doing the impossible once again
folding origami without using your hands
it's nice to see you truly realize
your true potential
