Make It Rough

Never thought it would come easy
 Slow as turning soil
 That's the only way to reach me that much I am sure of
 Bring it to a boil
 Just take your time, thoroughly
 Let the seasons be the air you
 Breathe in and out
 Patiently
 Wait for spring's returning
 Try not to think too far ahead
 The pendulum swings soon enough
 We could stay on this side instead
 But we wanna make it rough
 There were times I thought I'd get there
 I know you thought so too
 The days have bled together
 Now anyway will do
 If you're looking I might have it
 But you have to look to see
 The image you have of me
 Is what I'd like to be
 I was so good at pretending
 And denying when things bothered me
 So shut the front door I'll
 Kick in the back
 Metaphorically, I'm hoping
 Try not to think too far ahead
 The pendulum swings soon enough
 We could stay on this side instead
 But we wanna make it rough
 Make it rough 'til they put you in the handcuff
 Seeking out minds that are not yet corrupt
 Woi-oh woi-oh and away you go
 I'm a go on til the god damn juice gone
 Far enough into the journey to feel the satisfaction yes
 Action speaking louder than bombs
 We just go on and on, on and on, on and on and on
 Try not to think too far ahead
 The pendulum swings soon enough
 We could stay on this side instead
 But we wanna make it rough
