  • It's all in motion
    No stoppin' now
    I've got nothin' to lose
    And only one way up

    I'm burning bridges
    I destroy the mirage
    Oh, visions of collisions
    Fuckin 'bon voyage

    It's all smooth sailing
    From here on out

    I got bruises and hickies
    Stitches and scars
    Got my own theme music
    It plays wherever I are

    Fear is the hand
    That pulls your strings
    A useless toy
    Pitiful plaything

    I'm inflagranti
    In every way

    It's all smooth sailing
    From here on out
    I'm gon' do the damage
    That needs gettin' done

    God only knows
    Where love vacations
    If reason is priceless
    There's no reason to pay for it

    It's so easy to see
    And so hard to find
    Make a mountain of a mole hill
    If the mole hill is mine

    I hypnotize you
    And no one can find you
    I blow my load
    Over the status quo
    Here we go

    I'm a little bit nonchalant
    But I dance
    I'm risking it always
    No second chance

    It's gonna be smooth sailing
    From here on out
    I'm gon' do the damage
    'Til the damage is done yeah

    God only knows
    So mind your behavior
    Follow prescriptions
    Of your loaded savior

    Every temple is gold
    Every hook is designed
    Hell is but the temple
    Of the closed mind
    Closed mind
    Closed mind
    Closed mind

    It's all smooth sailing
    From here on out

    Shut up
