Monstro is here! Enjoy, this very long track!!!

If I could take you to white snow and waves blue In the same day you two, I bet you’ll move here soon

When you see me next everything will be different It will all be taken care of

As for when I will see you I doubt it will be soon In LA my value is not what I’m used to

In LA you’ll find what drives you While walking on stars with no shoes The lights will be bright and burn you While walking on stars with no shoes

Walk is God God Is Like

From a view outside you can look into my eyes This isn’t my purpose it’s only part time So give me your ticket, be back with a smile To give back your auto that makes life worthwhile Five bucks as a tip as you say “Son”

Downtown in a state of confusion Screaming and I don’t know why Lost it all with reckless delusion Singing screaming don’t now why I am so lost and…

Walk is God God Is Like

Sorry sir don’t mind me and my optimistic stride But I am going to ignite in a matter of time When I burn bright enough for the people to see You’ll remember the day you we’re talking to me Five bucks as a tip as you say “Son”

Downtown in a state of confusion Screaming and I don’t know why Lost it all with reckless delusion Singing screaming don’t now why I am so lost and…

Walk is God God Is Like

What the preacher he said to me He said “don’ believe everything you see.” What the the preacher said to me he said “Son you need, never not run”

Walk is God God Is Like

I often wonder the exact moment I gave up hope for normalcy There’s something about settling that just never settled with me I’m not a puppet And if I settle when I feel my full potential has not been achieved Should I stifle my ambition just to do the normal thing? A living puppet From time to time I realize my reality is a fleeting dream Unraveling right at the seams

If I were a real boy the kids would not all laugh at me If I were a real boyvI swear to God she’d notice me If I were a real boy

Write it down in case you don’t remember the feeling that you have now

From time to time I realize my reality is just a fleeting dream Unraveling right at the seams

If I were a real boy the kids would not all laugh at me If I were a real boy then things would work out perfectly

In LA you’ll find what drives you While walking on stars with no shoes The lights will be bright and burn you While walking on stars with no shoes

It’s real hard to sleep as the neighbor creep keeps on vomiting At least there’s some peace from domestic violence Run for your life dear, one day he will hurt you

It’s real hard to sleep when the ghetto bird’s outside hovering With the siren screech coming near I realize Theres shit going down right outside my window

It’s real hard to sleep with this fucking searchlight blinding me I’m raiding the cabinets for booze and dish rags I think that this this calls for a molotov cocktail

As I insert the cloth into the bottle a noise inside Adrenaline races until I realize it’s just a fucking group text

She walks up to me She says “Taia’s my name, I’m happy you came Just take a look around, this night club is the best in town Your drink’s compliments of the bar”

We locked our eyes, she came to me She raised her glass up for a toast

I’ll show you what I know: you’re a handful to me I’m reclusive and depraved Open your head

As I’m rambling on it is clear to me she’s the muse I need Taia know that I achieve the goals I set in front of me (and she said) “Will you follow me into the dark?”

We locked our eyes, she came to me She raised her glass up for a toast

I’ll show you what I know: you’re a handful to me I’m reclusive and depraved Open your head

Snuck into this bar never thought this could happen to me People stare I don’t care what they’re thinking of me Bartender leans into me and he asks what I do

He says “Kid do not get tongue tied, just lie so you can survive These people have the power. So green I saw you coming Just listen to me and I’ll introduce you to the people you should meet This owner owns the city He has the the jobs that’ll give you keys to this whole city Don’t get tongue tied don’t get tongue tied don’t get tongue tied great!”

Oh yea that’s sounding special to me, no I won’t get tongue tied Pour another bottle for me That’s him sitting there holy shit is he staring at me Waves me down “Have a seat, whats the action you seek?” Anything for my dreams I’m the next rising star!

Break then take

My friends it’s the people you meet and it’s the truth that you seek Well here’s a chip off the block, sell bricks on the block for me

Finally got my footing here, LA is mine this year Who says that social climbing’s wrong I’m drinking with the best of them A job that puts me in this city’s richest social club

To those who called me lazy and those who say I’m crazy You’re stuck back home with nothing I’m climbing up the ladder

And I feel okay drinking my whisky Living my way day after day

To those who called me lazy and those who say I’m crazy You’re stuck back home with nothing I’m climbing up the ladder

And I feel okay drinking my whisky Living my way day after day

Well I’ll live my own life and you live yours Well I’ll live my own life and fuck it You can judge me all you want

And I feel okay

Looks like we found a useful dupe again Time to snatch and grab as much as you can hold

“This is a job that has multiple thrills Collect the money and dispense the pills You’ll work with celebrities of the screen They’re gonna love you, you’ll have what they need

So listen up, protect the stash And keep the money away from these cats And if you’re busted there’s bail no doubt Just keep it secret so they don’t figure it out”

You’re wearing a brilliant disguise But telling me nothing but lies

“You’re looking nervous, do you need to chill Have you ever tried our magic pills Just pop this oxy and see how it feels It’s just a taste so you know that we’re real

Don’t fuck this up, don’t lose my stash It’s not a practice when you’re on the block Just remember who you work for today I can destroy you in so many ways”

You’re wearing a brilliant disguise But telling me nothing but lies You’re telling me lies

Do you hear the things, do you hear the things they say to me?

The strip is calling, your mind is melting Lets take this party to another level

Now on the strip I’m dodging these freaks Destroy them

Lost on this street I’m running from heat Control me

Why am I even here?

Another round for your weakness Another round for my flaws I can’t explain I can’t figure out how the hell I wound up on the floor

What were you thinking, have you lost your mind Keep it together, he almost died

Now on the strip I’m dodging these freaks Destroy them

Lost on this street I’m running from heat Control me

Why am I even here?

Another round for your weakness Another round for my flaws I can’t explain I can’t figure out how the hell I wound up on the floor

Man oh man, beat down after beat down Port here ready to pop the hatchet and give myself the heave-ho Man just to be back in my Pedro town and filling my in-door with Pedro chow It’s looking pretty bleak out here but I gotta keep on pushing keep on pushing through the bleakness Try to keep on pushing I mean if you’re into this I mean really into this you damn be ready for some hills and valleys But lot’s of pushing keep on pushing gotta keep on pushing

If you chop another one I’m game for that type of fun We can discuss the details of our schemes over drinks

I got a real good feeling man and this kid gig gives me a plan I’ll sell, I’ll save, maybe buy my own place But for now you’re right, let’s rage Drinks on you? What’s that you say? Hold up just wait something feels strange

These straps are too tight I need you to page my mind

Now last call it’s getting late, these drinks take the edge away Tell me what did you add to the product this time anyway

Never mind, it leveled out If you drive I’m down for the after party Yo, I’d slow down your speed or the pig back there could take us away

Fucking shit! You see his lights? Pull over at the stop sign When you slow down I’m taking off that way

Another squad car on the right, feels like wings will aid my flight Fuck off, you pig, I’ll be alright

These straps are too tight I need you to page my mind

They say that you will not make it this time, what do they know The X-Rays and testing could not even show cancer that grows You beat this thing once before years ago but it’s different this time Even the strongest need support and love sometimes

I know that you’re tired, I know that it’s all overwhelming But if and when you’re weak just reach out to me I swear to you Dad I’ll be strong for the both of us

And when you feel tired take comfort in loved ones around you You taught us the best, we know how this ends I swear to you will be strong enough to carry on

Whenever you need me just reach for me, reach for the phone I’m sorry right now I can’t make it home, believe me I know You don’t need one more face in the crowd watching you sleep But I’ll be there when I can, until then

I know that you’re tired, I know that it’s all overwhelming But if and when you’re weak just reach out to me I swear to you Dad I’ll be strong for the both of us

And when you feel tired take comfort in loved ones around you You taught us the best, we know how this ends I swear to you will be strong enough to carry on

Gotta get home and let Mom and Dad know I am fine Above all, hope you’ll recognize me

First turn them to lifelong brand consumers Warring tribes of celebrity worshippers Oblivious parrots opposed to self-interest We got the poor dipshits against the Estate Tax

Minimum wage is around the poverty line As we eliminate workers with automatons Can they truly comprehend the reality That we sold out our species?

NO! YOU’RE LOST GET BACK ON BRAND!

Our politicians propped by corporate media Sell our brand you useful vultures

YES! YOU’VE GOT IT NOW!

Organized labor membership’s low as hell Consolidate, automate and the rats will drown Let the mob choose between insurance premiums and TVs Bet you can guess what that will do to life expectancies

OH YEAH! THAT’S THAT SHIT I LOVE!

Now’s the time for greed with no oversight Cuz our cronies bankroll committees

Profit margins can always Increase so Fuck the Earth Embrace dollar signs, deregulate everything!

One thing left to do when you realize we’re all screwed We’ve poisoned the world Take what’s left until it’s only us against the hordes Starving in the streets Reach down deep inside for the strength to look away At those sleeping in the streets (Get your) M——O—N——E—Y Make sure to thank them for their time

Time to snatch and grab as much as you can hold

“I moved on her like a bitch” - President Donald J. Trump

Do you hear the things they say to me Oh yeah, oh no, are you gonna be in my nightmares

Why can’t I be a little closer to emergency Why can’t I be so close so close you can’t see

If I could say all the right things and you want to hear them Would you like that

You got the vice, I got the supply We’re kids on a playground tonight

Make sure you don’t forget to tie off And that you try it out with somebody Now if you end up feeling too low The other bag contains the remedy

This here supply, it fuels me To work the night and day shift

Make sure you don’t forget to tie off And that you try it out with somebody Now if you end up feeling too low The other bag contains the remedy

When you’re stuck in place while the world’s turning Jettisoning worries might be your sole means to survive The truth is you have never sunken lower Questioning why it’s so fucking hard to get a cosign Sometimes it’s not a question of cutting losses But pressing pause on all the burdens to mental welfare I truly hope one day to reassemble At least a semblance of the past that I once shattered there Above all, hope you’ll recognize me

How can this be? My supply’s but depleted Yet I’ve made nothing, the sun’s rising And when he sees my hands and pockets are empty That’s it for me, might as well burn the rest

First we shoot and then we snort and then we’re fine Night becomes the day becomes the night Gotta get home and let Mom know I am fine Gotta get back on top of my life

Wide awake I’ll take this hit then set my life straight, I’ll never pay them This last time is all I need to get my head clear I’m not their puppet Fuck this Right Now I want to feel safe and warm I need to be back home with my family

First we shoot and then we snort and then we’re fine Night becomes the day becomes the night Gotta get home and let Mom know I am fine Gotta get back on top of my life

‘Scuse me sir do you have any change to spare? My car broke down and I need bus fare And if you party I am sure that I can find Some more good shit, yeah that really fine Ran out myself, and had one last hit to blast off Peripheral vision flies and moths Blinking and twinkling in and out of it all Blink until all the flies go away

Clip your wings before you start to fly Never get high on your own supply Foolish mortals with a word to the wise Never did I think it would mean my demise Surprise I’m fine, I’m the sunshine in a room full of dudes that are unkind Tryin to unwind, have a few laughs but this dude right here is a jackass Hashtag lightweight couldn’t keep his high straight Killing my vibes stay the fuck outta my face I’m straight I can hold mine no chase, but these fools run around like the dope’s laced I’m great I can hold my own, there’s levels to this shit man I’m in my zone What you tripping on? What you sipping on? Hold my hand goddamn man this shit is strong

These straps are too tight I need you to page my mind What you sipping on What you tripping on Damn this shit is strong

Top speed had to exit stage left Them weirdos haven’t mastered the wave yet If I stay with them then I’m a train wreck But when I’m all by myself I’m a safe bet Step by step as the flames get high, tryin to make my escape from the lake and the fire Had a strange feeling that it couldn’t get worse so I jumped off the top and I dove head first

Please know that if you’re tied to the anchor Securely as it’s descending the depths I honestly hope you’ll be inviting I sincerely wish you’d go down with me

On a future date explorers will find Our fossilized bones mixed on the sea floor Next time let’s promise to meet in between Promise to meet me somewhere in between?

We are opposites Wake another day to life so hollow Take another pill that won’t stay down It reminds you of the day you realized your heroes were mortal Wake to see the sun before it goes down

I saw you as you fell back down to Earth Caught a glimpse as I rocketed away Next time let’s promise to meet in between Promise to meet me somewhere in between?

As we explode into a blinding white Lightning inside the upper troposphere I honestly hope you’ll be inviting I sincerely wish you’d go down with me

We are opposites Wake another day to life so hollow Take another pill that won’t stay down It reminds you of the day you realized your heroes were mortal Wake to see the sun before it goes down

At the foot of my bed you kept caring watch of me all night With your eyes, you are now part of my life We’re chosen by fate and love has cast it’s spell over our minds And it’s divine, we need no one else tonight

All we need is right here Every day I can see your eyes light up with love All we need is right here

We could move on from here Have a two story home in the hills with a white picket fence We could move on from here

We’re structurally compromised but we’ll use paint And our love to cover up our defects I’ll take us from here and move us to a place Where there’s less noise, and no beeps, this traffic can be a nightmare

All we need is right here Every day I can see your eyes light up with love All we need is right here

We could move on from here Have a two story home in the hills with a white picket fence We could move on from here

Close my eyes and all I see is you Christina

Takes but a moment to lose the ones close to you, now you’re gone And looking up now I see I’ve lost you, myself, everything

I know that you’re tired I never came home to visit you I know that you’re tired You’re gone and this hole in my heart is for you

Self-medicating mess, I drop to the floor you are gone A map materializes to guide when I am missing you

Tired, alone and waiting for Someone help me understand this I’d like to be back home

Tired, alone and waiting for Can you help me understand this Now nothing feels like home

I know that you’re tired I never came home to visit you I know that you’re tired You’re gone and this hole in my heart is for you

I could never ever forget you You taught me how to see you taught me how to hear You reinforced the my strength talked me through my fears

From time to time I realize my reality is a fleeting dream Unraveling right at the seams Unraveling right at the seams

If I were a real boy the kids would not all laugh at me If I were a real boy then things would work out perfectly But I’m not that real boy you read about in the papers Another charming imposter you think you knew And so I’ll sneak out the back door and I will run through the alley Another selfish decision made without you If I were a real boy Things would’ve worked out perfect If I were a real boy If I were a real boy

You want one more Where you’ll go You won’t wanna know

Tell me what I’ve done I need to know I’ve blocked out memories of vice filled nights and aggression Yeah, reflection has it’s price I’ve burnt the ones whom I love Cut all ties from my addictions, a dark soul,my own It grabs and possesses me

I want to find another I want to find another

Now my families gone I’m on my own This nightmare has no end, I must attempt to gain control I’ve paid a mighty price, a lost opportunity With this loss its sobering me, a dark soul, my own It grabs and it consumes me

I want to find another I want to find another

You want one more Where you’ll go You won’t wanna know

I want to find another I want to take another Oh God I am a monster

You want you want one more Where you’ll go You won’t wanna know (wanna know)

If you come out here to Los Angeles We’ll watch the Pacific eat the sun I’ll show you I’m really not a monster Give me a chance to prove you wrong
