Wake up again
Best get to steppin
Work like a dog
Walking the yard, then go back inside the kennel
Chew through the lever
Under the stars
First night we're free
Just dodged the cops
Hide in the trees, still see pigs approaching
Covered in Darkness
Lying so still
Can't make a sound
Quota is kill
Don't wanna be caught in these woods when the sun goes down
Steady til mornin'

Who. Who could ever?
Who. Who woulda thunk?
Few have ever ventured
Flew overhead in search of bread can't find a worm
for what it's worth, the early bird
Who. Who could love you?
You don't like yourself
Two sides to each reflection
view a mirror image
opposing sunsets meet again
and again in memory
Tune out all the excess
yellow, black and grey
truth behind the bullshit
Haterade and purple drank?
No, just a water is great, thanks!
I won't be having any of that.

Reigning it in like the way it began
Harkening back to the first separation
American legacy of lucid dreams
Life and death in the land of liberty
Climb the walls and watch your world fall
Hiding in the park beneath the trees
Turning the flag into a body bag
Every sound we hear sounds like the police
And you know it,
when you bleed its comin true
You look in the corner and stare at the crease
Cuz the shadows have come from the north to the east
Your voice echoes dust of the walls when you scream
You only talk to people who think what you think
It's so easy
Plug your ears
Align your qi
Government cheese and modified green
7 figure head, a spiritual thief
Can't wait to see who the next candidate will be
And you know it,
When you bleed its comin true

Catch A Cold

Better come in quick
Before you catch a cold
I wanna get you home
Before it snows
I wanna see you, yeah
Get what you need
I would be out of line
If I let you bleed
You better be something
Before you growin old
You gotta get some
Before you see it go
Yeah, you don't see it
The way it really is
Ignore the gaslight
Your ride is exhausted
Come to a full stop
And gain some perspective
And in the stillness
The part of you that hid can flourish

Seemed like a good deal at the time
Give us all you’ve got and you get your life
You couldn’t have read it, the print was way too fine
Your eyes stay fixed between the lines
Candy coated dreams reflecting the light
The raindrops hiss at the embers dying
I’m not saying I was lied to
Just saying you never told me the truth
Dust piles shouldered, left, unused
Don’t look so confused
Overcome
Redemption
One more time
To get it done
Hold the line
Run out of time
Do I get to stay black in the afterlife
Jet black, first class
Let’s get the fuck out of here and try to relax
All the fucks I gave expired
This bottled rage it makes me vile

It's not a phase, was born this way
Without directions or a say
Life's a game don't wanna play
And i'm not ok not bein ok
Reconcile who I was
It's a journey and a process
Being seen by those you trust
All you need is love...
and a bunch of other stuff
Another day and all the feels
Wish for time enough to heal
I don't know who need to hear this
But, be you, you are perfect, Gon' ahead

I really love myself
And i'm happy all the time
I'm not lying
I keep my thoughts light
And I don't wanna die
I'm feeling fine
I'm feeling fine
Everythings good
When I get my mind right
I'm trying
Don't wanna contrive a smile
To get through this life
So i'll fight for my mind

Refraction of Light

Hold up, who dat, what happened?
Spun around by a beautiful distraction
Couldn't see half a year in either direction
A living dream now its time to awaken
Now its time to awaken
Could be a thing if you just let it in
And let go of the thing you've been
You think you could have passion
For the work right here that's needed?
Pull up!
The shit you talk has gotta come from the gut
You gotta see it, feel it, be it, breath in, shut up if you don't mean it
See the palette with which sunsets are painted
The way the neon's bleed into the evenin
Open to change and beholden to nothing
Bring in the dark to spread the light of the morning
And conjuring some magic
We had it
A potion
You thought it could be good its much better than what i'd imagined

City glisten it's the golden hour
Talk about how we can see the lights
It's just a vision that you
That you can't see right now
A night of living rolling out
On the morning tide
Outta sight
Lights out can't hide
Trying to paint and running into a wall of white
Never knew the hue was right in front of your eyes
Back when I was young I didn't listen
To my hearts true intuition
Your dreams become your mission
Ignorance is blistering
Once you choose your direction
Too hot in the kitchen
Get your air conditioned
See what you're missing sweating
See what you're missing sweating it
See what you're missing sweating
See what you're missing
It just kept on repeating
Like all those fleeting feelings
Drip like the blood we're bleeding
Man's endless search for meaning
Lights out, can't hide
Thought it'd come to you when you got big
Now you know it is exactly where you left it
