I was drinking and smoking my life away
I had no motivation to live any other way
Maybe if I hadn’t gone off the deep end there’d had been another way
I Landed myself in the hospital again
Cause I let myself go, gotta have some discipline
Gotta shower, brush my teeth and do my laundry
If one things for sure I gotta take care of me
Gotta find some things to do
Like play some more guitar
Write some good lines or walk the treadmill far
Just gotta keep my spirits up
Can’t live a life Manic
24/7 drugged up on cannabis
No it’s not for me
It gives me anxiety
No it’s not for me
it’s not for me
No it’s not for me
it's not for me
it's not for me

Peaking over the fence
You want what your neighbor has
You’re so jealous of him
You see him having fun
But what you do not see
When someone else walks by
Is that they would kill
To trade places with you
the grass is always greener on the other side
every single time you’ll be left unsatisfied
Surrender your will and accept what you already got
There’s someone out there that would gladly take your spot
Having a poor mans mindset
Will only keep you poor
Not just financially
But in every aspect
So be rich in spirit
Cheer up my dear friend
Come not to conclusions
That will only hold you back

Petty differences in mankind
Should not be the focus of our minds
Why be an asshole? Why cause a fight?
People are so dumb, with their politics
They want you to choose a side
They want to divide
Why make a big deal
Out of something that isn’t real?
Cause on the inside we are the same
If you’re lucky you will find
That the contents of your mind
Cannot define
Who you are
Who you’re meant to be
Society will not lead
You to freedom
And you want to be free
So Listen to your heart
Now’s the time to start
Listen to your heart
Cause you are the ultimate reality

12roots Albuquerque, New Mexico
I fell in love with the sound of bands like Rancid, blink-182, and Green Day when I was 11 years old. Since I was 13 I've been writing my own music. My recording skills and access to equipment was virtually non-existent until I was about 18 years old. I am now 25 and just starting to get the hang of recording and producing quality sound. ... more
