I literally seen the world around me burning down
My mid thirties when the earning power turned around
Word of mouth got the curb serving further out
No uncertain doubts been yearning to turn some fertile ground
Like maybe lately I don't need the art
I dunno it's like life doesn't seem as hard
It's a tangled web we weave but I ain't Peter Parker/or
Happy simply seasoning the meat up in the cuisinart
But you gotta find solace in the simple things
Don't go wifing up the first girl you fuck with nipple rings
Occasionally I still wonder when the ship'll sink
Sitting on the sectional clicking on a grip of links
But rarely reading past the headlines
I'm terribly scared of meds I
Just barely got my head fine
A February glare apparent in my red eyes
Been staring down the barrel of a deadline
But it's fine
And I ain't too high but I ain't too low
40 years down 40 more to go
Said I ain't too high and I ain't too low
The even keel king letting life move slow
I used to talk about the betterment
But never did the heavy lifting work that I pretend I did
And pretty girls will still reward the ugly penmanship
That luck will make it tough to figure out what your incentive is
When I was off of venice and motor
In a studio that barely fit a bed and a sofa
My 65 year old neighbor slanging fentanyl doses
And people sleeping on the stairs barely better than hopeless
I was incubating trying to cover up that stink you make when
People turn their noses up and scoff at all the risks you taking
Like man I know that I was broke
But I also knew my shit was bout to go
So my idealism's always been bigger than my for-realism
Had my demons but I been learning to deal with them
Gather up that salt that you throwing season a meal with it
I been doing this a long time but it feels different
And I ain't too high but I ain't too low
40 years down 40 more to go
Said I ain't too high and I ain't too low
The even keel king letting life move slow
My mid thirties when the earning power turned around
Word of mouth got the curb serving further out
No uncertain doubts been yearning to turn some fertile ground
Like maybe lately I don't need the art
I dunno it's like life doesn't seem as hard
It's a tangled web we weave but I ain't Peter Parker/or
Happy simply seasoning the meat up in the cuisinart
But you gotta find solace in the simple things
Don't go wifing up the first girl you fuck with nipple rings
Occasionally I still wonder when the ship'll sink
Sitting on the sectional clicking on a grip of links
But rarely reading past the headlines
I'm terribly scared of meds I
Just barely got my head fine
A February glare apparent in my red eyes
Been staring down the barrel of a deadline
But it's fine
And I ain't too high but I ain't too low
40 years down 40 more to go
Said I ain't too high and I ain't too low
The even keel king letting life move slow
I used to talk about the betterment
But never did the heavy lifting work that I pretend I did
And pretty girls will still reward the ugly penmanship
That luck will make it tough to figure out what your incentive is
When I was off of venice and motor

And people sleeping on the stairs barely better than hopeless

And I ain't too high but I ain't too low
40 years down 40 more to go
Said I ain't too high and I ain't too low
The even keel king letting life move slow
