Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I sacrifice myself for you
All the things that I say and do have got to be true
Yo, I sacrifice myself for you
All the things that I say and do have got to be true
[Verse 2]
So now I'm jet-lagged once again from tour
Playing show after show that I've gotta endure
I know I make a living for the pain, that's for sure
But what I used to do for the love is now a chore
And I justify the pain and money in my brain
For the blood and the tears that I shed for this game
But in the beginning I only did it for the change
Coins in my hat is how I paid my way
From city to city, and street to stage
I had the stamina to rock all night and all day
With a mic in my hand and pedals at my feet
Feeding off the universal love energy
But at my own pace not living in one place
I could choose my holidays living in my suitcase
Charged by the bass, pulling a screw face
Singing out my heart while rocking the place
[Verse 3]
I sacrifice myself for you
All the things that I say and do have got to be true
Yo, I sacrifice myself for you
All the things that I say and do have got to be true
[Verse 4]
It's time for change in this super scary visionary life
It's like a cage, so I salute the way I rearrange my mind
We all embrace the spoon we are fed the merry love to consume
We love the cheese so I bring my heavy groove into the night
[Verse 5]
We all raging, staging, lonely, heart breaking
Money-money wasting, brain dead nation
And it's funny to me that it's plain to see
That we listen to he, thee and she
But I roll on and keep my distance
Always looking backwards searching for brilliance around me
Now I do see the true me, slip down the side, living wide
You can screw me
Teach me everything I never ever knew
What's inside of me, what's inside of you
What's inside a nationwide human tide suicide
Is it justified? Not really, don't be silly
[Verse 6]
But it's just a cleanse, go and tell your friends
Go and grab a pen, we all depend on mineral spiritual lyrical material
Physical, cynical, clinical, they're really cool
Yes, ah hell, come and grab it
It's only on this planet I don't understand it
Just follow the rabbit and get into the habit
You don't have to walk, man, you know that you can cab it
Uh, but it's all fine, just get on this timeline
Do you see the side line or is it just the skyline?
I just do what seems tight and feels right
And for that I'm gonna sleep well tonight
[Verse 7]
I sacrifice myself for you
All the things that I say and do have got to be true
Said I sacrifice myself for you
All the things that I say and do have got to be true
[Verse 8]
Or am I cynical? We need a miracle
We at the pinnacle of getting clinical
Feel like a ridicule to the political
I'm getting pitiful, feel like a pretty fool
Thought I was pretty cool, and also minuscule
But now I see it all, I'm just a dizzy tool
I'm feeling pretty full from eating shitty goo
And breathing chemical, it's unbelievable
[Verse 9]
Ayo I feel like I've had about a thousand lives
But all I am is an infinite reflection
I feel like I've seen about a million skies
And understand it's an intimate connection
I feel like I'm fed about a billion lies
And the source is a literate infection
My soul connects within the deepest of eyes
For a wise and a moderate injection
Let us walk this land with an open mind
Let me take your hand and together we can find
A pure reason to be loving and kind
Shut your eyes and let your soul unwind
Let us walk this land with an open mind
Let me take your hand and together we can find
A pure reason to be loving and kind
Shut your eyes and let your soul unwind
