we took a taste and all in all
i'm over it but don't know where to fall
it's not so great but i don't know
seems like it was the only way to go
well what do i get? i don't mind
used to be in ten mile stereo
cold blooded old times with ex-cons
collapse the lung and cats in a bowl
come on come on yeah he's a whore
one thing about you
knew exactly when to hold me hand
now i'm back in my new cave
painted in colors that remind me of you
try to tell me it's okay
i say tell that to the holes in my shoes
out on the weekend i'm a child
one thing about you
knew exactly when to hold my hand

i can't help that i am on the ground
i can't help that i am on the ground
it takes the strongest force to make me ordinary
i can't help that i am on the ground
and it hurts my brain every day
hey my friend let's take it all the way
okay my friend let's take it all the way
please i am so tired of holding back every day
come on my friend let's take it all the way
why did you stop?
yeah, but i thought . .
oh, okay
i don't believe that you cannot believe
i don't believe that you cannot believe
holding on to everything you hate so tightly
really don't mean that much to me
but i know that you
want me to be just like you
i guess i understand

away from ice
away from snow
i know i'll make it on my own
a maid that cleans
a door that's closed
i'm in a room with no windows
i have a mirror so i can
look at my face and know i am
i hold myself with my own hands
i'm just a boy i'm not a man
i know i'm better off alone
i know i'm better off alone
a woman beckons me outside
she wants to take me on a ride
she thinks i'm fast i think i'm slow
i tell her i don't wanna go
in summer time i had a love
but now she's gone and now i'm done
i guess i didn't get enough
i guess i was the only one
i know i'm better off alone
i know i'm better off alone
i know i'm better off alone
i know i'm better off alone

when i'm driving away from you i just can't read anything
when i'm driving away from you i see smoke and fire
when i'm driving away from you i just can't see anyone
when i'm driving away from you i feel so old
when i'm driving away from you i need cigarettes and alcohol
when i'm driving away from you i just want to stay asleep
when i'm driving away from you i just keep looking at the phone
waiting for you to call me
and tell me you changed your mind
and ask me please to come back
to tell me baby that you need me
but the phone it never rings
when i'm driving toward you i just don't need anything
when i'm driving toward you i can feel no pain
when i'm driving toward you i think everything's possible
when i'm driving toward you i don't feel those chains
though i know it'll only last a few days
though i know that you won't want me to stay
when i'm driving toward you i sing all the way
when i'm driving toward you i sing

perfect one
02:43

she had so many people telling her just how to go about getting exactly what she wants
she said i'll do it my way
not gonna change my mind
she had a boy she liked a lot but he always did too much so she had to give him up and cut him off
she said he's not gonna save my life
she wants to take her punishment and i can't blame her cus lord knows that i been there before and went down the same road
i made my home out in the cold
some people never can settle for less than exactly what they want when it comes to certain things
i know that love's that way for me
the worst part of finding the perfect one is when you find out it can never be
the danger of finding the perfect one is when you realize it will never be
and when i think back on my life it seems like i deserve it
there were so many that i scorned
there were so many that i loved and left alone
i guess i'm ready now to die
i guess i'm ready now to face the rest of my lonely life among all the good people
you can have what's left of me

If I'm really gonna make my money off rap
I gotta snap
Not like I really give a crap
But apparently I gotta get this sap
for my pancakes
A man makes a million mistakes
I am a hypocrite but so are you
So go jump in a lake
One thing I can say is that I am not a fake
For christ's sake
My take on a show is low
But I know and you know
That rap music isn't where you make your dough
You blow drugs and act thug
I think you suck
I can see you in the bathroom with your rubber duck
Playing with the suds
We could have been buds
but you took me for granted
Thought I had me some white guilt
Sorry B you got it slanted
Your only advantage is your bull-headed stubbornness
Go ahead and stick to the old
While I find new ways to govern this
I'm loving this job
Ha ha that's a macabre mantra
I come with twisted pleasures like the tantra
My garnish is cilantro
El Santo de la ridiculez
Coming with wickedness for chicken heads
and whoever the hell else wanna show up
It might blow up
I mean some shit we just throw up
And that's how we do it on fight night
I'm only spitting at the mic
with some shit my hand might write
Chinaski told me only to do it when there's a passion
But who asked him?
I love him but my river's flowing passed him
I'm not concerned
with whether or not I outlast him or her
I'm kinda down with whatever might occur
Might sight'll blur
and my tinnitus will keep ringing
But my man Gene Kelly and me
We keep singing
and playing baseball in the rain
to stay sane
Because this world is full of zombies
and they all want my brain so they can eat it
and I ain't into being mistreated
You try to kick that demon outta your house
but you still feed it
You don't need it
Tell it to beat it and scram
Pack up his little shit
and scurry back to the man
and his surrogate mother
who's made of metal and wire
and has no milk to give him
eventually he'll expire

Coolzey Fairfield, Iowa
Golden era hip-hop roots planted in black Iowa dirt are the foundation. Growth tempered by alternative era rock influence. This along with a love for the juxtaposition of the dark, horrific nature of life paired with a slapstick and comedic view of the world allow for a wide, unpredictable arsenal ranging from soul-spilling indie bedroom rock to wise-cracking battle rap and on to radio pop. ... more
Coolzey recommends:
[ why are you like this ]
by D&D SLUGGERS
The voice of young Billy Ocean, the guitar playing of a slightly-more-punk version of Prince, the rhythm section of a Nintendo.

Hold Person
by Schaffer, Riley, and the Double Ice Backfire
supported by 8 fans who also own “Live from the Cave @ Dougman”
This entire album is pure gold, and I still cant get enough of it 2 1/2 years later. Schaffer, Shael, and Ty have collaborated to create pieces that invoke incredible emotion, thoughtfulness, and self evaluation. From reinventing a Schaffer classic, to telling all-too-relatable stories of recollection and regret- Hold Person speaks to the holding patterns we've all found ourselves repeating against our better instincts.
