Name on a Park Bench

[Intro]

One, two
One, two
One, two
One, two
Check me, check me out
What
Yo

[Verse ]

You told me not to hold my breath
I'm still blue in the face
Watch my bleeding painting dry
Try to move into my space
It takes the life out of me
Parts of me died on this trail
Where I'm coming from
They'll understand me more when all else fails
Just listen to the song
The pitch's all wrong
The shit I'm on, I've stepped in
I left it out of focus all along
Fix my alarm clock, it's set for 9:01
Vinyl's spun, made it sound broken
It's only me out in the open
Ahead of my time, not likely
Cause ya still sleeping
8:59 ain't the title or the time I'm leaving
Find the reasons why I didn't
Undecided by critics
I'm not different
I'll cross the line when I decide to finish
What I started in the first place
But ended up in last
Race, in reinvented wheels
A soapbox that crashed
Cash ya loopholes
There's still fish inside my puddle
Sick of double crosses
Drop a line in someone else's troubled waters

I'm makin waves, and with this splash
I'll make ya boat tip
Found you going down with your crew
Posing as poets
Fuck the woe, it's me
We're taking poetry for granted
Talk is cheap
And ya buying it
Supplying it with standard (stand in???)
I've watched these kids play them self in someone else's role
Puppets are getting propped up now
I've seen their strings after shows
Half them know they can't keep afloat their dead weight
Cross the line, broke the red tape
I'm making heads shake
Just a face in the crowd
None of the above shooting time
Weigh em to arrows but nothing stuck
Just another, dust collecting record
Washed up on the shore
Not worth sampling
Cramped in free bins in record stores
It skips at the same part
I know it all by heart
It's 9:01, vinyls spun
Fix your alarm clock

I know you talk behind my back
But now it's up against the wall
And you're on the other side with the glass
Trying to hear it all
I'm trying to make a name
And find my place inside ya crate
For something so important
I got nothing to show for it
Still, there comes a time
When the music stops and ends
Don't be surprised
If I end up just a name on a park bench

[Hook]

Just a name on a park bench
Park bench
Just a name on a park bench
Park bench
I'm just a name on a park bench
Park bench
I'm just a name
I'm just a name

You have to go against the grain
If you want to make a name
You have to go against the grain
If you're trying to make a name
Go against the grain
If you want to make a name
Go against the grain
Trying to make a name

Just carve ya name in that park bench
Cause it'll last forever
Last forever

*scratching*
"On a park bench"

(Im out)

[Outro]

"I'm sliding toward the sewer
I'm not struggling. I can smell the shit
But I'm still breathing
I'm going to live my life
I'm not going to make a difference
I'm not going to change a thing
No one's going to remember me when I'm dead."
