  Dm
Just another suburban stereotype
Love for the rhythms and the grooves
 despite
that I'm not from the islands and 
I'm the palest of white I
put the reggae grooves together with
 the words that I write

  A#
But I can't relate to a struggle 
that I've never seen

  G
I can't praise a god that I don't 
believe in

  A#
You might think Ive been lying when 
it comes from the seems

  A
But I'm not a fucking lion I'm a 
drunk with a dream

  Dm
And I'm a million miles away from 
everything,I thought I'd become
I've lost all my faith in the Lord 
above
And if I work real long and keep my 
convictions
I could still fill and satisfy 
everyone's predictions

  A#
So I drink to stay numb but I sing 
to stay alive

  G
There's no shot big enough to keep 
me satisfied

  A#
No rhymes smart enough for me to 
save my pride

  A
There's a fire burning in me that I 
cannot deny

  Dm
And I ain't preaching shit all I 
want is to be able
to make enough money with music to 
quit waiting tables
My blood runs cold as I try to 
comprehend
the words we deify that are 
creations of men

  A#
I'm just a hopeless romantic with 
the focus on hopeless

  G
writing love song after love song in
 a hope that I can cope with

  A#
The truth of my reality, It's hard 
for me to swallow

  A
The realest love I've known is 
between my liver and a bottle

  Dm
Decidedly rough I've confided enough
I am forever in possession of 
unrequited love
So I tether my confessions to the 
words I supply
I would rather die alone then settle
 for a lie

  A#
Because I'm a dying breed the 
extinction of a race

  G
Separating heads from shoulders just
 to spite the face

  A#
I've been coming around looking for 
the right sound
to escape from the mold that's been 
worn in the ground

  A
with the walls closing in on my 
coffin of sin
i would like to explain but before 
we begin

  E#                        A
If you're waiting for me to fall

  Dm
Take a seat and hold your breath 
it's almost last call

  A#
And I'm just one shot away from an 
early grave

  G
I've been running at a pace that I 
can't maintain

  A#
There's a demon living in me who's 
controlling my brain

  G
A poison running through me that 
I'll never contain

  Dm
So I siphon it off with a mic and a 
pen
But the growth is exponential it's 
drawing me in
Acting inconsequentially I'm lost to
 the sin

              A
You call it white boy reggae, I call
 it sanity's end.
