The City

I never wanted to be dragged into this conversation about
what I have done today and what my plans for tomorrow are
and I don't know what to say
can I be held accountable
shoulda stayed home and I'm surprised you even noticed me
I'm just a tiny grain of sand in the brackish sea
I'm just another star in all the whole galaxy
even tho you know this
you still think you're the shit
im a fish outta water im a squid in the lake
I wanna be in the city
where no one really cares if ur shitty
where I don't have to look back on mistakes
dont gotta worry about if i have what it takes
I had the future in reach
but I always put others before me
too busy goin with the flow
to call out all the problems I know
the empty sounds of cars passing by suppressing my desire to lie
nowadays I'm real w myself
I ask myself if I'm too late reality doesn't correlate
I spilled the beans its too late now I'm runnin thru the dark with a blindfold on
I wanna be in the city
where new ideas don't go to die
nowadays I'm real w myself
I ask myself if I'm too late reality doesn't correlate
I spilled the beans its too late now, I feel as though I've let you down

Memory Vain

dark history follows with you
I got a bad memory, a fucked up mind too
fix this and that, but what is its purpose?
start the machine, gears always turnin
swallow listerine to keep my mind churnin
I tell you I won't go back, memory vain
wake me up, keep my eyes dilated
by the time you've reminded me my memory's already faded
lock it up till it can't see the light of day
driving in the fast line, no clue its the wrong way
I remember those foreshadows
if only I knew, if only I had known
I just can't seem to get it right
no room for invention just follow the light
I remember the time when I said I wouldn't go back
I remember the time when I would stab my own back
we'll remember the time, instead of sound, I gave feedback
we'll remember the time when I treated relevancy like a rehash
I should improve, I'll just chill out
asking myself, "the fucks this all about?"
I could be attentive but theres no point to it
instead I write my stupid song n other stupid shit
one could say I'm fairly nihilistic
can't beat a self righteous narcissistic
oh look at that, I'm going on again
I'm the wolf and my brain's the den
I remember the time when I said I wouldn't go back
I remember the time when I would stab my own back
we'll remember the time, instead of sound, I gave feedback
we'll remember the time when I treated relevancy like a rehash

Nocturnal

hidin in the shadows of your memory
with no sense of reality
in my bedroom where I belong
in my bedroom singin my damn songs
with my doors hangin open wide
theres still a spot to hide
even with the shining light facing me
theres still darkness I can see
sometimes Im just out of touch
where I am and what I've done
hangin around in space and time
subconsciously in my mind
do you really think I heard
when you communicate without the words
make an effort not to try
I have wings but I can't fly
stillness moving around me
taking my time in a hurry
pick me from across the street
please sit down please take a seat
I can never get ahold of what I am tryna pull
even when I'm colorful I'm still dull
blind it to the point where its visible
sometimes Im just out of touch
where I am and what I've done
hangin around in space and time
subconsciously in my mind
do you really think I heard
when you communicate without the words
make an effort not to try
I have wings but I can't fly
stillness moving around me
taking my time in a hurry
pick me from across the street
please sit down please take a seat
I can never get ahold of what I am tryna pull
even when I'm colorful I'm still dull
blind it to the point where its visible

you don't know how to find it
you don't know how to hide
you don't how how you got it
you down know where it came from
you didn't know how to decipher
you didn't know that it expired
for me its just a burning bridge; my flames go higher and higher till you burn em out
I'm doubting whether this is reality or just another one of my fantasies
just snap it out of me, its comforting to live in make-belief
in only back then I had a crystal ball, then id know once and for all
why this feeling ran thru my veins, scavenging piece from my heart's remains
I try to react, but I feel nothing inside
countin’ down the days till my thoughts are amplified
Its only a matter of time
I think and then I guess, then my thoughts compress
to the point where I am thought-less
not single penny for me
I double, tripple, quadruple quintuple, sextuple, septuple, octuple, nonuple
guess myself
well if I ever knew that I had a chance, I wouldn’t brawl with my own conscience
all I’ve ever done is give up, and ill never even be done
hanging in the shadows of my own reflection, lookin in the mirror with misdirection
staying at the same damn pitch the whole time, couldn’t change tempo even if I tried
if I ever knew that I had a chance, I wouldn’t spend time worryin bout nothin
knock on my doors or listen in, shoulda thought this out, where do I begin?
my thought process went like it was a dream, in disbelief not knowing what this could be
then the sunshine came & put me in a trance, that was just you telling me I had a chance

Extra Celestial

we're not too far, I didn't overshot
we're not off coarse, no need to stop
doing what I can I'm sufficing
thought of my demise, so enticing
watchers watch as we collapse
recorders recording our time lapse
the point of impact is comprehensible,
though your indentions are illegible
irony works in such ironic ways
losin my mind just to be appraised
it takes creativity to be creative, without the world I'm not innovative
cannibalism overtakes me
hang draw and quarter me for treachery
you can loot my corpse of what I never had
I spilled my guts I'm not happy, I'm glad
loosen my head on a celestial plane
goin incognito to ruin your feign
when you said I'm a goner I already knew
when the planets are alligned I don't know what to do
take me out execution style
watch my brain turn to stars
and it looks like I'm your definition of gone
and it looks like I can't see you when I'm done

Diggin Thru Graves
05:16

well I'm always hopeless, I don't know what to do
my only reference is to ask from you
I apologize to scratch off all of the debt
to repay you is what I cannot get
diggin thru graves to rest my case
talking thru silence is such a waste
in that case, I ve already wasted my time
is it really that much of a fucking crime
the distant memories are fading away from me while
I remember a time before when our minds were open doors
fastforwarding to see whats ahead
rewinding to see it again
when I try to think my brain shits on itsel
when I try to act my heart sits on the shelft
im such a mess I can't find what im losing
the point of impact is my own doing
pinpoint the moment where I felt potent
I didn't intent to not acknowledge you
my battery is drained, my smile's feigned
I don't want this moment to go in vain
caught up with what could have happened
now you feel as though you're trapped in

Hoping for the Worst
03:36

you keep waiting for me to come back
but I keep going on my separate way
maybe its for the best, maybe its for the worst
I hope that our paths cross another day
I've made a lotta decisions in my life
but I can't tell you one I was sure of
leaving our small town and what we've built
im feeling these feelings Ive never felt
there are so many people in my life that I care so much about
but I, I can’t find a way to not hurt them without hurting myself
I had it going, had it flowing, my anxiety is showing
can’t face you without you knowing, I’ve just moved on
I had to go, I couldn’t flow I got caught in the undertow
I didn’t even let you know until it was too late
I waited till the very last second, my mind is filled with misconceptions, it only takes a millisecond for me to overthink
when I think about it, my mind begins to doubt it
I guess I’m really just hoping for the worst.
I’m standing vertical in the horizon, in the herd of buffalo, I am a bison
when I look up at the clock, everything stops. Living in a four dimensional plane with my triceratops
