It's a new beginning

lyrics

Yeah, it’s a celebration
Yeah, I’d like to thank you all for being so patient
Yeah, I was stuck in surgery feeling so aimless
Yeah, finally stuck the scalpel in far enough to taste it

I wish I could tell you where the old me went and hid
I sent that fuckin kid to hell then up to 10
He needed some vivaciousness injected in his skin
It elevated him, let’s celebrate the win

I saw the light, no I’m not gracious
Had to reimagine me as not another faceless
Encourage myself to forget about the faithless
Pulling me together was my number one basis
I dug into my gut to find what made this
Being that I once was tick, tick, ape shit
I went off the rocker for a bit hit basement
Won’t feel better till I sit with pavement
Had to fix a plate and then I ate it
Lining up my cutlery, it’s all in product placement
It’s fuckin hurtful as you watch it fadin
My thinking’s more precise, believe me I’ve awaken
For a minute there, I was ill prepared
I misplaced a part of me and I didn’t care
Till reality was just sittin here
I don’t like this place, thinking like shit I’m scared

Yeah, I can feel the earth shakin
Yeah, I feel like I am blessed by the mother fuckin ancients
Yeah, nobody but me can paint it in this nature
Yeah, lemma hear a round of applause for your goddamn savior

I wish I could tell you where the old me went and hid
I sent that fuckin kid to hell then up to 10
He needed some vivaciousness injected in his skin
It elevated him, let’s celebrate the win

Life is good, not really, it’s fuckin great
You’ll always meet the pessimist that bring up some debate
On why you got to follow rules, well, I’m the snake
Sink your fuckin fangs into the apple cause you’ll love the taste
Of changing up the pace, tangle up the lace
Trippin at the ankle while you dangle in disgrace
When you find out you’re a copy of a copy
Mr. Reznor nailed it, your printed page is just a blank
I simply like to take the backroad
Leaves room to be an asshole, never have to step that low
Got some wiggle room to let my act grow
Only place I’m injured is the strength of my cash flow
I must accept it, being independent
Just impressed that I found my way back to pen this
Skilled at my craft, should have an apprentice
Carry on my legacy when the death of me ends this

Yeah, it’s a celebration
Yeah, I’d like to thank you all for being so patient
Yeah, I was stuck in surgery feeling aimless
Yeah, finally stuck the scalpel in far enough to taste it

I wish I could tell you where the old me went and hid
I sent that fuckin kid to hell then up to 10
He needed some vivaciousness injected in his skin
It elevated him, let’s celebrate the win
