lyrics

Yeah I wake up at the crack
Like Aerobics Oz Style
So tired my eyes close to tap on the mobile
Resetting the profile to silent
I’m only 20 years old and over this 9 to 5 shit
Already ready for retirement
Peddling bikes in the dead of the night
Never got my license
I lack the drive
Gotta shift time to find it
Split-minded, do I stay home and get fired
Or rise out the humble abode for the grind?
I find myself fork in the road
Thinking of life
Thinkin bout time’s past in the blink of an eye
And why the fuck I’m getting up at quarter to 9
When I could be recordin and rhyming and performing it live
Cost and Matias as fly as a concord
Walking through a storm in the sky
Sharper than a porcupine
And that’s why I’m sayin it’s nice

You only, you only live once

Nothing is for certain
Billowing curtains
I slip from my carefree sleep
Into the burden of dreams
A mate’s barbeque
In the quiet fortitude of this afternoon
We watch the sun go down
And down a few
I fill my cup up, a barbeque duck
In a pub above Chinatown
Looking down on the suits
Make a beeline for the commute
They scurry to their catacomb apartment homes
That glow like beacons in the dust sky
We still cicadas underground
Grubbing in the muck
Sipping on sap of cheap beer on tap I rap
And here you are about to fly
I grab a schooner of cider
Watching the fighters
TV and lighters switch and flick
From incendiary tyrants to
Muscly giants
So glad only four walls confine us
And no one can find us

You only, you only live once
