Atmosphere - Verse From... lyrics

(scratching big slug) How easily I put my foot into the shoe I now boast Simply for the chance to wiggle my toes How little I know, that gets followed down this dead end How much mind I misplace in the name of a girlfriend When the world bends, and changes it's form Ill throw a raincoat on and fornicate with a storm Ill be the same as before, like nothing youve ever known Trying to feel my way through the weather looking for home But till that time arrives I'll keep designing my life Arrive the need to survive without this disguise Counter clockwise, cross the Is, dot the ts And run circles around these docile hypocrisies They don't understand, good Watch how long it took for them to break it down And find out it's not just a song it's a way of d**h Its a don't take a step, it's a save your breath and then came the yes (scratching rhyme sayer) So heres an ode to those who feel they're under control Like they don't have a whole firm hold on their own soul Nothing but snow, makes for rough when it's cold You can roll or you can cut your loss and drop your load From the woman I know that give their partners their all To the ones that watch and wait for their lovers to fall To the single file line a mile long in the hall To the ones that work the cashier jobs down at the strip malls If the rat bites it's tale, you gonna hear it scream This is not my life, what is it? A dream? Between letting off steam and empty bottles redeemed Was it hard for you to pull me apart by the seams? Take a deep breath so you can smell the city Put the alcohol down it's f**ing up your kidney No longer will I let them spin me round till I'm dizzy Either walk away or walk with me
