(Verse 1)
Sabac Red said the world's a contradiction, so many questions, from girls to God's existence, a loner by decision, but I slept with division, now defense mechanisms get hurled at opposition, I felt the anger soon as they mounted it, but I'm just tryin' to reroute the ship, when you spend fake currency your life becomes counterfeit, I'm done buying into ignorance, I've grown out of it, I killed my high horse and made it into glue, now I feel anew, intoxicated from the fumes, hope and change are not just slogans, but political opponents tell us they're bogus, fuck that, give me a slow death before I regress back to bein' teenaged and hopeless, I'm focused, but the object's unclear, and that's what everybody wants to come near

(Chorus)
Thoughts goin' through my mind, I think about 'em all the time, they just keep me up at night, late when I write

(Verse 2)
Maybe some only see the glass as half full 'cause they used the first half to wash down the Paxil, it's like soon as I flipped the tassel, king of the mountain became an uphill battle, money on my mind and depression in my pocket, up against the wall 'cause there's nothin' in my wallet, pluggin' in the socket, tryin' to shock me back to life, but I'm burned out from seein' red, so I'm stoppin' at the light, scrapin' together the cost o' livin', pissed off 'cause I don't got a pot to piss in, with no profit, no tellin' the future, I just hope it's not beggin' for respect as a moocher, I'm used to seeing silver linings, but golden opportunities still define me, ain't no gain without pain and torment, the cookie crumbles to attain the fortune

(Chorus)
Thoughts goin' through my mind, I think about 'em all the time, they just keep me up at night, late when I write

(Verse 3)
Old friends showed their true colors and turned a different shade, I guess while some grow, another person can decay, and honestly, it makes me wanna scream at the top o' my lungs 'til they're burstin' into flames, heads can roll, but cooler heads prevail, so there's no need to recede, retread, and fail, movin' on to graze greener pastures, lookin' ahead to achieve the answers, 'cause life is intense when you're searchin' for more than a dead end job and a white picket fence, so I fight with a sense of urgency, urging me to reach the horizon by looking up vertically, the normative is boring and it's not for me, so I gotta defy the odds as an oddity, it keeps me up when I should get to bed, thoughts billowin' when I grab a pillow and rest my head

(Chorus)
Thoughts goin' through my mind, I think about 'em all the time, they just keep me up at night, late when I write
