Ryan Kopperud, Jus Rhyme, MC Lars - Break Even lyrics

The dead got me seeing' green
What you know about the blues?
I know a couple good dudes who
Googled 'How to tie a knoose'
But playin' the game of life
The only way you break the rules is
Jump in the ship early
Storms are only passin' through
Started at my roots, bordered my solemn moods
So I could build myself a life that
Now I'm finally scared to lose
Hell of a year, I missed the lottery numbers
I wonder why they're all surprised
I barely find slumber she's a
Cousin of death and I'vе been
Runnin' from my end
So I wax philisophic and vomited out a pen
Guess I'm an oxymoron tryin' hard to hold on
Never buckle piece of the puzzle
So call us Voltron
Writin' songs 'bout feeling we don't belong
Got labeled a misfit
Like what was I doing wrong?
Had a realization, and maybe it took to long
If they think that you're different
Then you're doing it right, i'm gone

No more sad songs, refill your glass
No more deep breaths, scared that you're last
Beat the pain, Break Even if you can
Beat, beat, beat the pain
Break Even if you can
No more sad songs, refill your glass
No more deep breaths, scared that you're last
Beat the pain, Break Even if you can
Beat, beat, beat the pain
Break Even if you can

Tried to jeopardize the future
But couldn't cop the ram
Tried to spit some sick soliloquies
But that was not the plan
Tried to infiltrate the Circus but
The Ringmaster was creepin'
Tried to hop inside the lion's cage
At night when they were sleepin'
Tried to find some peace of mind but
I still feel kind of crazy
Got the Cabin for a weekend
So I'm bringing up a lady
And she gets that I'm an artist
So everything's alright
Likes the way I tell my stories when
I hold her late at night
Kiss the pleasures of the
Flesh, breathe it in, let it go
But, I can't let 'em know that
I still draw hella slow
Like a David Lynch movie
Strange and so surreal
Everything is changing and I don't
Know what to feel
Tried to incubate the pixel rate
Mix space and time together
Felt the universe expanding and it
Never felt much better
Tried to digitize the future as
I uploaded the past
But memories on USB were never meant to last

No more sad songs, refill your glass
No more deep breaths, scared that you're last
Beat the pain, Break Even if you can
Beat, beat, beat the pain
Break Even if you can
No more sad songs, refill your glass
No more deep breaths, scared that you're last
Beat the pain, Break Even if you can
Beat, beat, beat the pain
Break Even if you can

Militia minded, white swan, dive in
Guillotine, Godsend, it's killing me, honest
Still keepin' 'em honest with
Bomb threats promised
This one's for the children of the corn
Watchin' comets locked in on the stars in
The sky with my conscience
Sniper Rifle telescope, planets rise
Hella dope killin' 'em with every word and
Verb that I wrote
Making mortars on the daily of the
Players that don't pay me
Say one for the people of the Sun
Burn the forest for the people of the ice
Bling it for the poorest
Making music for the artist
Movement starters
Breaking rules by making people choose
Who spit's the hardest
Spit from the heart it's my A-Order talking
In order for the path to be
Cast or to walk in
This one's for the masses blastin'
Back at the targets
Rebellion from the top and the bottom
Get it started

No more sad songs, refill your glass
No more deep breaths, scared that you're last
Beat the pain, Break Even if you can
Beat, beat, beat the pain
Break Even if you can
No more sad songs, refill your glass
No more deep breaths, scared that you're last
Beat the pain, Break Even if you can
Beat, beat, beat the pain
Break Even if you can
(If you can, if you can, if you can
If you can)
