Cross Me

If you cross me again
Better lay down low
Cause if you cross me again
Fists will lay you down low

It's not the nature of me
It's just the beast in me
I'm tired of the people
And I'm tired of the beat
It's not wise of you
To try and judge me
Its a beast inside
A mirror of the freak

Lay Low!
Lay Low!
Lay Low!
Lay Low!

If you cross me again
Better lay down low
Please cross me again
Want to lay you down low!

So pretty lady,
What is it you seek?
Is it a beast inside?
A mirror of the freak?
So where do I start
Shall I take off your clothes?
We're not moving too fast
I don't suppose.

We're gonna lay low
we're gonna get low
Deliver a low blow
Fists will lay you low
and no one will know
For alone from here I go

Lay low!
Lay low!
Lay low!
Lay low!

Take a simple little truth
and you turn it around
green purple and blue
now muddied and brown
I did that, did that
threw it over the river
as a matter of fact
all the while
the river bottom I sat

The more I think
the less I know
a harmless idea
it starts to grow
what was fictitious
purely superstitious
has turned out to be
a thought that was malicious
and you've turned your
dear friend into a dear foe

(replacement lyrics)

I did this
I did that
My bowl of truth
I call the cat in the hat
try an catch my sanity
with attention intact


...
festers in my head
I complicate the words
turn friend into foe

she sits down
comes near
there's something he should hear

she begins to speak
but not a sound
something about
upside down

it's a joke
from a show
that he saw
two nights ago

seeing a smirk
she starts to say
why do you always
act this way

are you listening
are you listening
the sun on the water is glistening
says a whispering
and everything
it fades in and away

to me you talk down
like I'm lower than the ground
destroy all my confidence
feel like I have no competence
but I will regain what was lost
at any given cost
so you better come prepared
you better not be scared
you better hope that someone somewhere
is saying you a prayer
cause tonight, we fight

Steps are coming close
to that which I suppose
are for me

there is something in the air
a raising of my hair
can't you see?

goodbye to the darkness
goodbye to the light
time to take a stand
stand up for what is right
I will hold my ground
for that which I believe
this time you will see
the irreverent side of me

many times I've run
to the quickly fading sun
I've come undone

a hero in my own mind
but a coward in my own time
I cover and fade away

goodbye to the darkness
goodbye to the light
time to take a stand
stand up for what is right
I will hold my ground
for that which I believe
this time you will see
a darker side of me

I can't go back
I won't go back
there's nothing you can do to make me
I'm sorry for what it's been
this'll all be better in the end

this is my resolution
start up the revolution
I'm tired of being the same old guy
so I turn my head
and kiss the sky goodbye

Sitting deep
on the edge
I close my eyes
and pretend to sleep
