Start Again

If I were to start again Would I do it any different Than how it went down All these ups and downs Like a buoy in the ocean You think you're floating but The waves cave in like the fall of the wall That separate chance and order and All you're trying to do is Keep your head above the water When the clouds bring rain To refresh your brain Bad memories fade And so does the pain Thus in theory it begs the question Would I be better off without seeing these tribulations Or is it necessary for a champion to meet Trials on the path to true jubilation Like getting to the finals and scoring a hat trick Roar at the crowd never mind the theatrics Will power alone can make the whole world pause Like palming the globe like you own it The synchronicities you couldn't have planned for The stuff of a folklore Even if you knew it was coming You wouldn't have hit it Like a high heat up and in, a bean coming in While it's happening you watch your own body react Jerk faster than the thought of, where my baby at? Your entire life flashes in random access Who the hell said you can't avoid what and taxes? You can live free forever Impregnate the earth Before the spirit and the host link sever For good like eternity, headed where the best be Rest in serenity with my foreign family Friends that stick with you When you're sick with em Then you realize that love makes blood a thick liquid Make you warm in the cold like a cardigan Fresh like a mulligan Gonna start again Are you with me? Stay the course, why give up When there's a light at the end of the interstate Veer off wide and the ride might disintegrate Please don't sleep now You might not awake in the morning Drive through the night just to fight this yawning So you keep going till the break of dawning But the eyes start to play weird tricks on ya Reflection on the windshield flicks on ya So you try to focus on the yellow line or the white poles But the mist makes it impossible to follow And you see little people on the side of the road Waving at you like they know you And they're already gone By the time you can check the rear view Then an old man in a bike scare the crap out of you You read the speedometer, it says 65 Then he smiled with a wink and disappeared like an owl Your heart skip a beat like a needle on a record And it picks right up on a groove in a second But that 100 millisecond seemed more like a thousand Had mad dreams about cruising the islands Then you get a grip like a vice on wood Snap out of a trip like a mice trap would You wanna take a leak but you don't wanna stop Cause you can't look back like you're running from the cops But you're not Crack the window and ha you're freezing Tickling the nostrils and choo you're sneezing And you go, I can't do this anymore One thing's for sure, I need discipline Gonna start again If I were to start again Would I do it any different Than how it went down All these ups and downs Like a buoy in the ocean You think you're floating but The waves cave in like the fall of the wall That separate chance and order and All you're trying to do is Keep your head above the water When the clouds bring rain To refresh your brain Bad memories fade And so does the pain Allow me to state it simply The brutal truth exists within me I plea mea culpa but not for forgiveness Cry me a river, nah right, if I could kiss Miss devil on the temple bye, adieu And if I avoid contact for a few I can void a contract like a two-face The last word tastes cool but it ain't food like toothpaste Take a mint and a hint See a tint in your iris, a dent in my pride D.i.y? oh f.y.i recognize I can fly and I'm not gonna hide So I treat every week like Eat every meal like Write every song like it's gonna be my last In the instance should I be tapped to go the distance Would I feel ready to leave everything All the shenanigans Imagination flows infinitely Like a game of ping pong on a table made of glass In a room full of mirrors and you let the days pass...
