He came in hotter than a blazing sun,
With a pensive smile and a pair of finger guns,
Aimed directly at me.
He then counted to 3.
And in that moment I had no choice but to believe...
Both bullets were intended for me.
soon as they struck I could vividly see
brand new primary colors,
said he came down in 42’ with the others
The clock on his watch stuck on 3:33.
An extrovert at this par-tee.
Took a bump of blow with Danny Diatchenko
Then he told me he needed me to know...
“I WILL ALWAYS KEEP YOU SAFE”
Now that I’ve licked the rug and ate my crow,
I finally asked what I’ve been dying to know.
“Are you from this place? Have you been here all along?
He said “of course not, Lex. But I live in all your songs”
I asked if he’s friends with Tom Delonge.
He said “you’re better than that assumption. Man, C’mon.
But also yes. Not gonna lie. We’re friends and he’s actually a pretty rad guy”
So I Asked if he had access to Laser beams.
Said “I’m just here to help manifest your dreams.
I’ve always been here and I’ll always have your back.
Now do yourself a favor and connect this railroad to the track”
First things first.
Don’t assume the worst.
Because trust issues like yours
Are a fast track to a hearse.
Stop wasting all your fears,
Worrying about your engineer.
D.I. Guitars sound fine.
And his toms are the perfect size.
I will always keep you safe.
What about that crash that one night
I was pulled unscathed by the jaws of life?
Was that you, huh?
YOU NEEDED ME
What about when I left my body
And discovered the astral lobby.
Were you there?
Y’NEEDED TO SEE
In this profound moment of truth
I ask what is it that I can do for you?
R’MEMBER TO BREATHE
I wanna change my last name and start a new family tree. What do you think?
NO FURTHER COMMENT. THANKS.

What You Seek, Seeks You

Truer words were never spoken
but were delivered to me direct,
from a man my friends know well
but a man I’ve never met... he said...
“What you seek, seeks you.”
Mr. Pronoia: Now When I say “higher power” what does it make you think?
I said “depends on how much I’ve had to drink”
he asked “what do you make of life? How does it make you feel?”
I said “every day gets easier but I still suspect that nothings real”
he said “you’ve gotta lotta nerve but you still ain’t got the touch”.
I said “What’s it to you? Stake your claim and state your fuss”.
He said “relax I just wanna see you be the best you that you can be, and for the record, you lush— YOU CALLED ME”
“What you seek, seeks you.”
Nature is tender.
Nature is violent.
Truth’s always grey
but perceptions is vibrant.
I think we are due a better view.
When they demand of you Heaven
but stonewall your hell,
that should be the easiest way to tell
They don’t really wanna get to know you
They don’t want your story
They don’t care about your pain
They wanna be free of concern
And entertained
So put on a mask and vandalize your message on the wall
Why do you think we look exactly the same?
Why do you think that we share the same name?
You’re just a conduit and I am the truth.
That’s why what you seek seeks you
“What you seek, seeks you.”

Everyone I love— rich and successful.
Everyone you love — rich and successful
But most of all— they’re all Happy.
The world is out to get us. And we know why. Because...
No one's late for anything
Everyone’s exactly where they’re suppose to be;
Railroad successed a label cause they put in the work.
Mr. Pronoia reported it first
The world doesn’t hate you. In fact,
You just gotta learn to love it back.
and I hope that you don’t take that lightly.
am I trippin? Bitch, I might be.
Baby
can’t you see
Earth suspends in space just for you and me
Everything is copacetic
Set it and forget it
Trade you my wallet for a dollar
but only if you ask me what I call it:
R E V E R S E P A R A N O I A
Ouuuuuu!!! The world is out to get us!
Ouuuuuu!!! Hallelujah!
No ones family was insufferable
Family trees were always salvageable;
Ms. pronoia finally met the man of her dreams
Mr. pronoia reaped what he sewed or so it seams
The world is never really sick
It’s just gotta lotta n-n-nervous ticks;
like when they send the first wave fleet of ships
just to see if we’d be convinced
Baby
can’t you see
Earth suspends in space just for you and me
Everything is copacetic
Set it and forget it
Trade you my wallet for a dollar
but only if you ask me what I call it:
And just before he left they all raised their glasses to make a toast:
“Mr Pronoia,
we suck at 'goodbyes'
Promise to visit again
and we’ll promise not to cry”
