Jett Rodgers - People Gotta Say

People gotta say what they say gotta say
Speak your mind
Find what makes your gears grind
Petrified to try to vocalize
Or summarize all the pain inside those eyes

It's sad when they gotta go but they ain't a foe
Inner demons ain't on the down low
Annunciate it slow
You can't imitate the soul

Straightforward like a rook
I'm an open book
With crannies and nooks
Cause of what the past took
But It can't take
So it is my future that I gotta make
Not a night I'm not awake
My will ain't something you ca break
Made of diamond flakes
It always says it al in the face

It only matters if you mind
But I don't mind that it matters
Shatter got my mind scattered
Peace of mind now like bug splattered
It's my own grave that I dug
Blood stains on the rug
Breathing uneasy like a pug
Tug my heart strings you'll hear a sour note
Followed by a cowards quote
Have I climbed the tower nope
One day Ill empower hope
We're the flower folk
Every hour smoke
Every day is blahs after blahs
Better than breaking laws
It'll only hurt your cause

This ain't my best me that's for sure
Good intentions getting blurred
Conflicts held up never cured
Sometimes there's more meaning to take away from words
Never thought I'd get sick of the chirping birds
Swear I see the same blue jay from the prior noon wait
Seeing people doing better on paper that motivates
Taper from the day to day overplayed feeling of the worlds decay
Embrace the space that you pervade
When it goes away
It ain't ok
I need all you I just feel afraid
The amount I'll miss em is an idea I can't entertain
How do I stay sane
Burning of the grain
Honey dissipates
Marking calendars with doomsdays
Before we even see it coming
First people gotta say something
I just want the day off
From all this controlled chaos
On the stage I got presence
Cannot match the cadence
Sometimes when we follow passions they will never pay us
Besides I don't care if you hate this
When I let it go I'm weightless
Weightless oh weightless whoa-oh-whoa-oh-oh
