Operation
Do you know, son, how to build a sandcastle by a wavefront
Just to watch it wash away and you don't say none
You're just ready for repair
You look around, look around, but nobody cares
Are you day one, or just in it for the fun
Do you save some, or just spend it when you get it
could you hang on for a minute to show em' how you meant it before they're gone
And do you play dumb when you know the right answer is to say some
But the sedative you're given, doesn't take none
It just gives you away, it just gives you away
And do you pet dogs when you see em' out in the street
Or play frog when you see a kid wanna leap
well game on
I'll be the lava, and the crack, and you don't want, you don't wanna step on that
Thoughts to live by, cause now I see the whole world in a new light
I did the operation on myself and now I'm fucked
Thoughts to live by, cause I wanna see the whole world in a new light
I'll do the operation on myself
And could they trust you to give more than the minimum of what's due
When you know the sentiment is really fuck you, but you don't really wanna give it away
So just go back to that old drawing board that you promised yourself that you would get back out one day
And while he ain't no Wile E. Coyote, he can still hit him with the sentimental high note
You can make a nosebleed sniffing out the right hook
At the right time with the right crew and the right vibe
do you pet dogs when you see em' out in the street
Or play frog when you see a kid wanna leap
well game on
I'll be the lava, and the crack, and you don't want, you don't wanna step on that
Thoughts to live by, cause now I see the whole world in a new light
I did the operation on myself and now I'm fucked
Thoughts to live by, cause I wanna see the whole world in a new light
I'll do the operation on myself
And don't miss the mark, you're so damn close to a new life
Don't miss the mark, you're so damn close
Thoughts to live by, cause now I see the whole world in a new light
I did the operation on myself and now I'm fucked
Thoughts to live by, cause I wanna see the whole world in a new light
I'll do the operation on myself
Just to watch it wash away and you don't say none
You're just ready for repair
You look around, look around, but nobody cares
Are you day one, or just in it for the fun
Do you save some, or just spend it when you get it
could you hang on for a minute to show em' how you meant it before they're gone
And do you play dumb when you know the right answer is to say some
But the sedative you're given, doesn't take none
It just gives you away, it just gives you away
And do you pet dogs when you see em' out in the street
Or play frog when you see a kid wanna leap
well game on
I'll be the lava, and the crack, and you don't want, you don't wanna step on that
Thoughts to live by, cause now I see the whole world in a new light
I did the operation on myself and now I'm fucked
Thoughts to live by, cause I wanna see the whole world in a new light
I'll do the operation on myself

Don't miss the mark, you're so damn close
Thoughts to live by, cause now I see the whole world in a new light
I did the operation on myself and now I'm fucked
Thoughts to live by, cause I wanna see the whole world in a new light
I'll do the operation on myself
