The Matrix 02:44
she can’t feel it anymore watching as the sky moves past the window window pane slanted and confusing theres pain in the game gambling with crystals miss the way life was when its simple guess it hurts the more you know and when you see the signs and symbols Over the river And thru the woods I tried to take a back road But it backfired & kicked me back The high life got some power to it All I wanted was a burger made of beans For some reason took an hour to prove it Never knew I could be so impatient I missed the days when I was fine with waiting Before I had more than 15 minutes Now the time just keeps tickin And tickin And tickin It’s ticking away theres pain in the game gambling with crystals miss the way life was when its simple guess it hurts the more you know and when you see the signs and symbols she can’t feel it anymore watching as the sky moves past the window window pane slanted and confusing

Pressure 04:44
I've been spending too much time on my phone, babe Life is wasted when it's aimless These lights cut to my bone since I was 17 Can't feel time like I did years ago And we both know It'd be easier to be alone Taking paths to avoid your home Mhmm mmm hmm hmm hmm mmm Dear diary Can't deal with sobriety My biggest regret Cause nobody won't hire me Too much anxiety I need new varieties I need some new options Still steady shopping Still steady shopping Buying and spending Buying and spending Got some bad habits Buying and spending Buying and spending I gotta have it Cash too demanding Crashing and landing Cash got me candid Spending this money All of this money All this new money I'm spending Spending and lending I gotta have it I gotta grab it I gotta have it I gotta grab it Cash it and stash it Flip it to stack it Making up magic My life is tragic Dear diary... Dear diary... Dear diary... Seeeshh Dear diary My new job just fired me Her roommates still fight with me Degree still not worth a thing I wanted everything It feel like It feel like I'm under pressure Do you see what I see When you see what I mean This drive would be so long If we Had nothing to say We're hours away from home but You keep me from wondering if today could go Any other way Don't think just say So sophisticated Yet so comfortable with down I can't help but say good gracious Every lil slip up Takes me further from your good graces New faces Old feelings in new places Let's get back to basics Baby please give me patience Look Time ticking Can you please give me patience Time ticking Can I please have some patience... Look I would pay no mind If you took forever Don't surrender your time Waiting for something better If you only knew Staying under shelter Makes it heavier on you Keeps you Under pressure

Bugspray 01:44
Monsters in closets In my bedroom - oh - oh - oh - oh Boogie man is coming to Get you - oh - oh - oh - oh Night light, night life Don’t let the bed bugs bite Mosquito spray, Bites back anyways (anyways)

This that type of shit When you just be floating on a cloud Not giving no fucks •I’m fly as ducks At the high museum• (what you so loud for) Noticing, all the folks Dressed up Just to hope you see em I love the art tho Brush strokes from the heart •(Pain cause.....everybody watching) So you paint cause...everyone watching • No you can’t see them But oh, they see you Every little stroke Down to every little step •Yet you’re painting• Wellllll You got people that are busy waiting •Ohhh they’llnever have enough• Just Take what you brought •Now they need more• Like Excuse me please I need more But when you’re watched you see more Still waiting like Seymour •I shouldn’t have to say more Shelly’s on the same shore Still selling sea shells She sure does seem swell• (And I’m still painting) Ask me what it’s worth it •Well I’m here just painting• The people still waiting As my all wasn’t enough *scough* They called my bluff •They called my bluff• I’m not so tough •I’m not so tough• Just take a puff Riding it out like the ocean Making it up on the scene Taking a break from the water Everyones looking at me Monotony You've lost me I never just want to be me Worried about my appearence I'm not the person we think Fear I can't shake it Its not something I wanted to be We see In the mirror backwards just so I can breathe Fear is weird because it’s something that can beat you directly or indirectly. You can be so afraid that you just don’t do, Or you can be so afraid that you attempt to take all the precautions and end up forgetting what and why you were doing something At all

Clouds 03:10
Laying on the ground With my eyes on the clouds Hate to have to wonder what it means Thinking out loud But pink matter is the sound Saying that’s what you’re suppose to be Daydreaming This feeling I believe in I wonder if you’ve seen it Or if it’s just me healing Laying down looking up at the clouds Watched the cumulus navigate to nimbus (The storms brewing) Toes in the dirt Grounds color of coffee The Joe got me jittery And galavanting thru gravel (Head on a swivel) Listen real close hear the fall trickle Just a little Daydreaming This feeling I believe in I wonder if you’ve seen it Or if it’s just me healing Hate being stuck all up in the middle tween a rock and a hard place I just wanna chat in a soft space no worries …..there’s no real need to hurry Don’t really mind When my mind gets muddy Head hella hazy Still kept it straightforward Daydreaming This feeling I believe in I wonder if you’ve seen it Or if it’s just me healing took a spin Out the stratus Check my head for the status Im back up in the clouds Again....... Again Daydreaming This feeling I believe in I wonder if you’ve seen it Or if it just me healing Daydreaming This feeling I believe in I wonder if you’ve seen it Or if it just me healing Laying on the ground With my eyes on the clouds Hate to have to wonder what it means Thinking out loud But pink matter the sound Saying that’s what you’re suppose to be Daydreaming

Blur 02:33
Staring out the window Borders busted by the seams Eyes on the surface Still reflecting off the gleam It’s for me and you It’s for all that’s in between I always let go for parts of me You let it in It’s everything Feels like I know But I haven’t seen We took the ends and split them by the seams It’s still on me to make the realest parts to be A memory that you left a part of me Go and cross over just to feel what you mean Staring out the window Borders busted by the seams Eyes on the surface Still reflecting off the gleam I wanna lose control (only in dreams) Just to break thru to you (only in my dreams) I saw you lose control (only in dreams) And you broke thru (only in my dreams)

Mood Ring 03:47
You can’t go I can’t stay The cat’s away The mice can play You can’t go I can’t stay The cat’s away The mice can play Spend your days looking for answers Take your losses where they fall Losing sight of my ambition Catching up or not at all Its been a minute or two since I could see the truth Some time away could take me from my youth There’s no reason to think my thoughts could change the mood Leaves will fall and weather change and brood (Keep going Gotta keep moving Keep going You just... You just gotta keep moving) You can’t go I can’t stay The cat’s away The mice can play You can’t go I can’t stay The cat’s away The mice can play

Why 03:37
Why Why Why Why Why Why Why Won’t you talk to me You left your feelings in my dreams Why Why Why Why Why Why Why Won’t you say what you mean You said we’d keep it clean I don’t wanna lose you this way blue jays don’t sing as loud Now that you don’t come around Don’t wanna lose you this way It’ll never be the same Wish we could still play the game Don’t wanna lose you this way Or that way Or any which way Any which way Any which wayyyy But why lie I cry Cause I tried So why hide Just fuck pride This feels deeper than that I can’t keep coming back I can’t keep coming back I can’t keep coming back I can’t keep coming back to you... Why Why Why Why Why Why Why Won’t you talk to me You left your feelings in my dreams Why Why Why Why Why Why Why... Just wait just wait just waiting Just wait just wait just waiting Just wait just wait just waiting Just wait just wait I’m just waiting Just wait just wait I’m just waiting Just wait just wait just waiting Just waiting yesterday You were waiting on me yesterday Kept waiting yesterday Can’t wait in yesterday Just wait in yesterday Can’t wait in yesterday

Fisheye 02:01
Open your eyes See what’s inside Shape shifting tides Pull away from the night Feeling suspended in air Drop me and see if I care Lying, in low tides I'm there seeing my name in the glare Don't have the words to say Losing my memory Shapeshifting tides have been lifting my gravity Floating away from my bed Or is it inside of my head You call my name It’s not the same As darkness falls I see it all Ceramic face, emotions fade She sleeps in bed, Now she can’t rest Open your eyes See what’s inside Shape shifting tides Pull away from the night

I got a dame In the towers Might pull up in an hour hit a quick shower Hangin all day Blown duchess Out in queens Straight outtaAustria Where Biz Marke is king Oops I mean Otto Von Bismarck Laid out in the ottoman The feeling was ambient Off of two ambiens An aura like the Ambiance of Ramadan (Call my mom) Tell her I ain’t coming home tonight Was testing German engineering So I had.. to the flight Different city Different bride Different dowry Pay the price What the the upside of down What’s the down side of up Movements on slow Like some syrup in my cup Sip Sip Syrup in my cup Life moving Too fast Yet the days Pass by slow Always caught up in the moment I love living in the now Fuck later Cause the paper tops the rock WBut the scissors cuts paper And the rides is only up Like a broken elevator Here today Building later Feeling father times favor What’s the upside of down What’s the down side of up Up Up Up Up Up.... What’s the up side of down What’s the down side of up!!!! There’s a certain danger that Aries when you constantly associate the past with positive memories of nostalgia and turn into a person who always sees the past as the good ole days, when things where better, when it all made sense, when you were happy But those days are gone and that’s ok, you can make new memories you’re not above being happy Being happy There’s a danger (To that pent up anger) that Aries when you persistently associate the past with positive memories of nostalgia (Like what a waste of energy) and turn into a person who always sees the past as the good ole days, when things where better, when it all made sense, when you were happy But those days are gone and that’s ok, you can make new memories you’re not above being happy Being happy
