I've been told by everyone around me I'll go far, the whole world just thinks that I'm a start, despite every wasted opportunity. I've been told by everyone around me I'll be fine, the whole thing will come to me in time, despite every latent insecurity. Look around but nothing ever happens in this endless sea of dependence. Can't take the risk, another day's gone, I'll just be let down. And I don't care what anyone around me has to say, I know I'm not doing okay, and I won't give them that authority. And I don't care about all their attempts to make me feel as though my success were something real, compared to the minor and majority. Look around and see how far the bar falls. It's not too long before their minds stall. Under the pressure of acceptance I'll just be let down. I can't see what's in front of me. All my failure's blinded by your insecurity. You can't be everything we need, if we're told to forge our own stories. Raising your kids on just participation doesn't bode well for a generation. Thrust in the world with no preparation, you just have to tell me I'm not doing okay.

Chad Smith has a cat, and, though I hate to say it, lately that feline's been feeling aggravated. Maybe it's the wine or maybe he's too jaded, but I bet he regrets all that Facebook makin' Maybe he should get off of the internet and maybe he should sleep. Maybe he just needs another night out with his good friend Keith. Chad Smith's cat is getting drunker by the minute hoping that one night he'll finally accept it. Chad Smith hasn't ever even really noticed that his inbox has been getting really bloated. Maybe he should get off of the internet and maybe he should sleep. Maybe he just needs another night out with his good friend Keith. This is a message to Cat from Keith. Go offline and get some sleep. There's a girl I'd like you to meet. She's so cute, whiskers on her cheeks.

I can't explain it to you Poor Tony Kraus, there are just some things you'll have to go through. The whole world denies you priority. Your own body denies your authority. I think you'd find yourself way less concerned with what other people are thinking of you. If you'd realize how seldom they do. Destiny is lurking in an alleyway trenchcoated when it leans out to whisper to you. But you couldn't even hear it in this rush you've put yourself in trying to devise your own fate. Important things will pass you by if you don't ever take the time to realize your futility. A bleak temptation, a moot frustration, the victim of self ideation. The truth will set you free, but not 'til it's finished with you. I can't explain it to you Poor Tony Kraus, there are just some things you'll have to go through. The whole world denies you priority. Your own body denies your authority. I think you'd find yourself way less concerned with what other people are thinking of you. If you'd realize how seldom they do. While you're forging your own path you're bound to notice everyone is trying to get in your way. With a look of such frustration, you'll determine you're the only one who is feeling this way. Despite your ghastly intuitions, you'll find them only superstitions of your singularity. A sick stagnation, a strict fixation, the victim of self ideation, learn no single moment is in itself unendurable. I can't explain it to you Poor Tony Kraus, there are just some things you'll have to go through. The whole world denies you priority. Your own body denies your authority. I think you'd find yourself way less concerned with what other people are thinking of you. If you'd realize how seldom they do.
