Walk in the Park Songtext
von Josh Martinez

I was born bitter, herbal earthen aftertaste of urban living
Rat racing in a tracksuit, tracing, chasing shadows
Boxing, facing my opponent on a box spring
An ode to the lock and loaded ′cause the eyes look crazy off

Something's not right, head slightly cocked
My words are the key but they might be locked
The gate′s been closed and the flows been turned off
When the water runs dry, I take my clothes off

I'm searching for a savior in a flavored soda bottle
No, I'm not a Coca Cola can collector
I′m a relegated relic of the past
A fragile agile intellect inspector

Go on look at my brain, it′s bubbling again
Carbonated water plus bleached sugarcane
Sweet and tender on a bender to drain
To the last drop I can't stop, no time to train


Mamma told me there′d be days like this
When the kiss of bliss
Was intertwined with this spitting vision divine
The mind is a prison and the blind have risen
Always bumping in the night much to the delight

Of those who prefer a spark in the dark
To a hole in the light and they don't wanna fight
And I′m sort of supposing you've chosen
To live life frozen in time

But I sip wine with poison lined lips kissing time
When there′s no one left to leave behind

With a theme unknown, I dream alone
When I feel the need, I'm free to roam
I walk in a park and when it gets dark
I take the long way home

When I grow up, I want to die
And I want death to be a thespian
Roll the cameras and let's begin
Action, action, action
(My best friend′s girl will be a lesbian
Knock, knock, knock, please let me in)

I make landfall, kiss the ground then stand tall
All this still life, still the distillery needs the ripe fruit
Of the gods to feed the need for knowledge


And I guess I never knew the ledge
And let alone the border
But I took one jump, a leap of faith
And it made me hate disorder

I found myself sorta
Where I thought I′d be but a part of me was sad
I'd been had, I thought I was doing something special
Now I′m faced with the fact, I'm just a fad

I′m gonna fades away in eighty eight shades of gray
And maybe more the sore grows
I'm sure those holes in my brain aren′t hostile
Although I'm in a lot of pain

On the rocks of reality, dreams get splashed
In the throes of oblivion, throats get slashed
And goats get sacrificed to rid our backs of vice
When actually the monkey is not likely to suffice
When pressed for luck, I chuck the dice, fuck the mice

And men what might have been advice to follow
Is now manifestos to swallow
Washed down with asbestos and what I've left
Those who drink instant coffee
And talk in impossible options is a word of caution

I′ll be watching your thoughts drift off when you get soft
And I′m not afraid to go there but I know where I'm not wanted
Undaunted I wander, through haunted homes I stumble
The stairs crumble unearthing bones in the rubble

And here comes trouble, it′s the walking dead
You read my thoughts and fed my thirst
And talked enough to let me finish this
If it's not best then it′s the worst

I'm a wise man arriving, devising new ways to be enterprising
And it′s tough surviving the places where I've been waiting
Faces that leave me feeling frustrated

Hello to your face and good riddance to bitter cynics like you
I hate the venom you spit sentiment, I don't believe to be true
It′s this creeping culture, the feeding vulture
Eats decaying soul made flesh
They hold less control than ever but put this patent on fresh

And now it′s trademarked and parked in the executive space
Dark laws don't apply in the dark side
Buy my record and I′ll give you a free water
So how's about a toast getting close to where most go over
My glass is half full but I ain′t close to being sober

With a theme unknown, I dream alone
When I feel the need, I'm free to roam
I walk in a park and when it gets dark
I take the long way home

When I grow up, I want to die
And I want death to be a thespian
Roll the cameras and let′s begin
Action, action, action
(My best friend's girl will be a lesbian
Knock, knock, knock, please let me in)
