Gas Mask lyrics
by Rare Americans
[Verse 1]
I’ve got a lot of pent up energy it seems
Couple nights of tossing, turning
Strange as dreams have ever been
Where am I gonna be, come 10 years from now?
A decade ago I was writing this same sh*t down
[Verse 2]
I got a lot on my mind, need to get it sorted out
Like a riddle or a puzzle with the pieces scattered ‘bout
What’s the picture of? What route?
Can't think about the doubts
Gotta get up if you get knocked out
[Pre-Chorus]
You’ve got two ways
You’ve got today
You’ve got to do what the f*ck you say
You’ve had your woes
You’ve had your lows
You’ve got to pull yourself out the holes
[Chorus]
Everybody gets stalled, blackballed, mind your head
That’s what the sign above me read
Everybody “Mind Your Head”
It was the sign I needed
“Mind Your Head”
“Mind Your Head”
[Verse 3]
I got a grocery list of things that I’d erase
Seven deadly sins, each of them at some point got a taste
I was on a good path, watched it all explode
Lost everything I knew, oh me oh my, reload!
[Verse 4]
Been on a hell of a road, still on it today
I have walked through many lives
Took a piece of each with me
Life’s a journey till the end
Taking chapters as they come
Keep your head above the water
Eyes sheltered from the sun
[Verse 5]
I can’t get back the days gone by
The past has passed
But the future’s mine
I can’t get back the days gone by
The past has passed
But the future’s mine
[Pre-Chorus]
You’ve got 2 ways
You’ve got today
You’ve got to do what the f*ck you say
You’ve had your woes
You’ve had your lows
You’ve got to pull yourself out the holes
[Chorus]
Everybody gets stalled, blackballed, mind your head
That’s what the sign above me read
Everybody “Mind Your Head”
It was the sign I needed
“Mind Your Head”
“Mind Your Head”
“Mind Your head”
“Mind Your Head”
[Bridge]
What's happening?
What's happening?
I don’t know what's happening
I'm trappin’ in my head again
I’m stressing’ for the medicine
The hocus pocus focus
Thought-forms, a swarm of locusts
But the crack brains not on coke
Just in a race to go broke
The grind its hard to cope
So you charter up a rope
Who wants to die an ordinary bloke?
Ordinary Mary marries ordinary Joe
Ordinary’s scary, ordinary blows
You’ve got 2 ways
You’ve got today
You’ve got to do what the f*ck you say
You’ve had your woes
You’ve had your lows
You’ve got to pull yourself out the holes
[Outro]
Don’t hold on
Don’t hold on
Don’t hold on to the past
It’s a gas mask
It’s a gas mask
Don’t hold on
Don’t hold on
Don’t hold on to the past
It’s a gas mask
It’s a gas mask
