pick the thorns out Lyrics

(If you know who I am, then you know why I'm here, what I seek, and how important it is that I succeed)

(Can you assist in my quest?)

(Now, I'm not in the habit of taking orders from a machine!)

I been low, I been knocked down

I been stressed, I been tested and left out

I been soft, I been loud, I been downtown

Found with the loudmouths

'Round where the clowns crowd

I keep my feet on the ground

'Cause you've got to get up

If you want to get down

Pound for pound

I'll go round for round

But that frown will drown

So bring down the sound

I been knocked down

Gotta' get it up

No time to talk now

Thought I'd hit 'em up

They put the call down

As if I give a fuck

They a stall now, I need it all now

I need it all now

I need to ball now

I need to turn this

Fucking bedroom to a hall now

Let's break the rules now

No time to cool down

And watch me turn this pile of ashes

To some jewels, now

I been low, I been knocked down

I been stressed, I been tested and left out

'Gotta go, though, I know it's a worn route

'Gotta get up, and get out, and pick the thorns out

Never know what to talk about

I been blessed, do my best for the honest self

Shit, I lost it now

No wait I found it!

Damn, it's gone again

No way around it

No way to stop it

So you might as well get with it

When I'm feeling like a prophet

Man, I might as well just spit it

I'm a liar, I admit it

I ain't flying high like quidditch!

I'm a landlubber, trying every trick to get a minute

In the sky

How many balloons have caught fire? And why?

And how many more do we 'gotta try? And why?

How many are truly inspired?

A confused response, I was hardly surprised

(Must be this land's legendary treasure, I hear that it's a wish-granting star)

I been low, I been knocked down

I been stressed, I been tested and left out

I been soft, I been loud, I been downtown

Found with the loudmouths

'Round where the clowns crowd

Messing around

I been low, I been knocked down

Blessed but I'm stressed, I been tested and left out

'Gotta go, though, I know it's a worn route

'Gotta get up, and get out, and pick the thorns out
