LYRICS
In an attempt to quench my thirst
I dove in… headfirst

If you’re going to “go off the deep end”
You’d better go off the deep end
For if you go shallow
You will come to know
Your head is hollow

If shallow is your puddle
And through your life you muddle
Remember:
“Mud spelled backwards is dum”
Dum de dum de dum dum

Eat, drink and sleep
Going deep
Deep, deep, deep
Mental burst
Headfirst

LYRICS
Difficult to get
Hitting a moving target
Never will forget
Hitting a moving target

Tact in the track
Squeeze the trigger back
Focusing on “I”
With ease score the bull’s eye

Better hedge your bet
Hitting a moving target
Destiny? We’ve met
Hitting a moving target

Trying not to fret
Hitting a moving target
Pull with no regret
Hitting a moving target

LYRICS
Working smart is a real fine art
Getting harder everyday
… in every way
Job, life will rob… you’re arm they’ll lob
Mourn the turn of your first born

What are you suppose to do
Just trying to get through
How are you suppose to learn
Where you’re suppose to turn

Working hard for the final yard
Getting smarter everyday
… in every way
Robbed by the job… stolen heart throb
No relief any day
… in any way

LYRICS
Did you hear say
Did you hearsay
It’ll pay
Save it for a rainy day
It’s raining. It’s “pooring”. Couldn’t get up in the “mourning”.

Well, that will depend
Are you ready… really ready
Really ready to spend
… does it depend?

At what cost is lost
Odds of a coin tossed?
Hedging the bet
… bet against
… against regret
Hedge the bet against regret
It’s raining. It’s “pooring”. Couldn’t get up in the “mourning”.

LYRICS
Maybe I can’t say
That there is no way
To fret and fray
Regret each day
Can’t worry your troubles away

To begin
Worrying
Lets death in
Through the doors
Through the pores
’til only woe endures

Let out a sigh
Don’t wonder why
Everyone will die
Relentlessly try
We’re all still going to die

Why Worry?.mp3

LYRICS
What am I living for?
I’m counting out time
… is there more?

You know it’s true
What keeps me livin’
This life I’m given
… is you

What am I living for?
Just counting out time
To earn another dime?

What am I living for?
I’m counting out time
… a death I can’t endure

What am I living for?
I’m taking in time
With reason and rhyme
That’s what I’m living for
