out of rhythm Lyrics

I've been out of rhythm

Out of sync with the way that everyone's living

Out of body and out of spirit

I'm kinda feelin like a tree with nobody around to hear it fall

So theres no way of knowin if it even makes a sound at all

As I fade into the wall

Like a shadow when the lights get low

To draw a blueprint for my life as I'd like it to go

Because the future never turns out like we had hoped

And the river keeps flowin whether we like it or not

It's never the likeliest plot

Where everything works out right

There's never a happy ending when the ending happens only once, right?

Now everyone's movin too fast

No wonder that everyone's tongue tied

So now we use our thumbs to type words

Til our thumbs die

And I am just some guy with his shoes untied

Runnin full speed at absolutely nothing at all

Never knowin who's number to call

When everything seems to be going under

I've been down this road before

But never found what I was looking for

And I dug so deep

But only came back with hands as dirty as they were empty

I wrote down these words before

But they're surrounded by a different score

I'm the epitome of self pity

And being my own worst enemy

So now I'm hopping on one of the strangest beats

I've ever thought of

To top off an album that arose from a dark place

When humor stopped working I started using hyperbole

Examining myself and exaggerating my hurt feelings

And it really worked

It worked, really

Cathartic words that I burnt after reading

And as the smoke rose out of the clearing

I began to see things clearly

I wasn't clouded by the voice in my head

Screaming

I'm not saying that it's peace of mind

Merely a piece of the pie

A brilliant gleam of hope

That please the eye

And as the seasons fly by in a blink

I start to think about the seasons that died

The leaves in the ground

Returning to the source

Not a trace of remorse can be found

Among the humus

That surrounds all the humans

You're probly thinking, "Wow, what a doofus"

But truth is

I eat my pudding cuz I know that's where the proof is

I've been down this road before

But never found what I was looking for

And I dug so deep

But only came back with hands as dirty as they were empty

I wrote down these words before

But they're surrounded by a different score

I'm the epitome of self pity

And being my own worst enemy

So fuck all that bullshit

And no more being elusive

Or fucking self abusive

Cuz if I don't stop, imma lose it

I gotta loosen up, for Pete's sake

And press my feet to the brakes

But my knees keep shaking like I gotta take a piss

Take a whiff of the fumes I exude

When I step into the room

On a gloomy afternoon

As I'm passing through

And I'm askin you to listen to the rhythms that I'm passing you

Cuz I was out of 'em

But now I seem to have a few

Pulling the stash out of my hat

Like rabbits in a magic act

And as a matter of fact

I'm feeling rabid and blood thirsty

A pleasant change of pace after feeling so Unworthy of praise

Unworthy of love

Unworthy of anything and all of the above

I promise you the next one'll be way more fun

I just had to be a downer for a minute but now I'm looking up

Seeing the world through a whole new lens
