The same game.

Space is forever, it’s a mystery,
Like time it’s never ending, it’s infinite.
It’s so much bigger than my eyes can see;
I take off like buzz lightyear and get lost in it.
But don’t hate me for my moon walking,
I’m still down to earth,
Who’s bad? Look who’s talking,
You gotta prove what you’re worth.
So we all go chase the presidents come and gone,
And we build a fat stack, call it all our own,
Buy a house, try to make it a home,
You’re not alone.
But I’m not lonely either,
I know what I love, and happiness comes no cheaper,
I like a good day to be outside,
I like a song that make’s me feel good about life,
I like the way nature never ceases to amaze,
The way it keeps changing every day,
The way it never seems to stay the same,
It changes just like time, yeah they play the same game.
So how am I supposed to figure life out?
I’m just a pot head, who’s also a night owl,
I live my days just waiting for the night to come,
The days are so boring; I could sleep through some,
But nothing good ever comes from the night,
Just some red eyes, some words and an appetite,
But no one really sees the words that I write,
I keep it on the low, to see what that feels like,
Maybe one day you’ll hear these words,
You’ll think that I’m a little absurd,
A little abstract, a little disturbed?
Well let me tell you, I’m taking off to the stars,
If I can’t do it sober, we can hot box my car,
We can blaze till we feel like we’re flying,
We can live, so we don’t feel like dying.
I like a good day to be outside,
I like a song that make’s me feel good about life,
I like the way nature never ceases to amaze,
The way it keeps changing every day,
The way it never seems to stay the same,
It changes just like time, yeah they play the same game.
So I’m loading up my space ship, all stations ready,
Packing up my bowl, and it smells pretty heady,
1, 2, 3, blast off, flick the lighter see the flame appear,
I just took off, but already I’m already here,
Quick take the look out the window,
The world just spinning around,
All the people living down below,
They’re the ones who bring me down.
But I don’t let it bother me, cause I am beyond that,
I’m just looking down; I can see where my mom’s at,
I can see everything I’d ever need to see,
As long as the world is spinning and the water’s running,
We’re free.
We can live life to its fullest,
Or we can suffer through life, but that seems a bit foolish.
They say shoot for the moon, cause if you miss you’re still
among the stars,
But the moon’s out of reach, and the stars are further,
The bars are down the street, and my chances are sure-er,
Yeah so I made a word up,
Sometimes it has to be done,
I’m not gonna fix it,
I’d rather pick it up and run.
As far as if the cup is half empty or full,
There’s a shortage of water all over the world,
So don’t just sit there and label the cup like that,
The world won’t save itself, I guess it’s up to us to act,
I’m not a superman, I keep the cape off my neck,
And I’m not a lawman sworn to serve and protect,
I’m just a dude with a conscience speaking to me slow,
Saying that there are good times and bad down the road,
And if karma is a real thing I’d rather not risk the bad,
Cause I’m already overwhelmed by the ones that I’ve had,
So if all being decent gets me,
If all I’m gonna get from being friendly,
Is the self satisfaction that I’ve changed the world.
Well that’s a risk I’m willing to take,
There are decisions that I’d rather not make.
Who lives, who dies, who walks, who drives,
Who sits, who stands, Who won’t, who can’t,
Who wins, or who loses? Who’s good and who’s abusive?
And then here we are going nowhere,
Staring at a spot on the wall,
Who ever said that life isn’t unfair,
Must’ve never seen a tall tree fall,
See the fragility of it all, is astounding,
You can’t always bounce back like rebounding,
Because this is real life there are no cheat codes,
You make a mistake, and you reap what you sow.
I like a good day to be outside,
I like a song that make’s me feel good about life,
I like the way nature never ceases to amaze,
The way it keeps changing every day,
The way it never seems to stay the same,
It changes just like time, yeah they play the same game.
