Dreams Out 03:36

— I woke up bout 9pm the suns still up and Im not dreaming So I reach for my bag Strap on my shoes And go and set my feet upon the — surface cracks Skunk from the back The floor it shakes No break till morning Its more than I thought More than I wanted Not what I sought for But what I made it — And Now the Dreams out brother The worlds a different color From grey to clear to other A fresh Pallet for you lover Yes the dreams out brother Love you will recover So I go and set my feet upon the (world) — The surface cracks But Im not scared of underneath Ive seen the bottom more than top Ive gotten used to the heat Ive gotten used to the downhearted cold start to days from waking it up on the streets And go to bed making beats If I could throw it all away Some obsession come call blessing This addiction that drives me Not a substance for my body But a drug for my soul see A way to let go Tossed from a cliff You see the difference is gold The strength to find the next part My assurance to misery I could make some more art I assure that history Has dictated as much Been fated as such They try to break the mold But heartbreak brings art the golden midas touch The guide is tough But I follow stronger than the last time If I can keep up I can escape all the past lies The past tries do discredit what I've worked hard to get But Ill be damned if I let them

Burned at the floor 03:21

Bright lights for Midday Orange sky Murky Feeling 
Sweat drips off my fingers winds warning Whats that burning I smell the heat fore I feel it Relit from the ashes of something that once was secret — something that once held meaning — as the Screaming breaks the evening as I stare into the demons eyes and wish that I were dreaming wish I’d caught sooner the inferno right in front of me I consider all my options I could run and hide, bide my time, pray the tide will save me Do I choose the side of fight or flight The cave, a cry, it craves me my faith will maybe save me by riverside or waves see Im at the edge of the blaze and I sweat from the heeat as I kneel
Tinder, a flame, watch the rage and flames kiss each other
The fire burns out from the impact the ground in-betweens left charred
I frown, glancingahat the graveyard I turn, walkingwahay from the SCAR! Bright light for Midday Orange sky Murky Feeling 
Sweat drips off my fingers winds warning Whats that burning Im braver than id noticed the lotus opens up and though it hurts I regain focus I set the flint to tinder and I breath into a point Id been taught this by the one who put the pressure on the joint that caused the branch to snap that set land to arid an arsonist at heart the legacy of herod ridden with nyctophobia the dark has left its label fables told, unable old ones sacrifice themselves to let the young get away Freeze or fate, guess what awaits to those who disobey 
Im at the edge of the blaze and I sweat from the heat as I kneel
Tinder, a flame, watch the rage and flames kiss each other
The fire burns out from the impact the ground in-betweens left charred
I frown, glancing at the graveyard I turn, walking way from the scar Bright sky lights its Midday Orange sky Murky Feeling 
Sweat drips off my fingers warm winds warning Whats that burning

Never mind the bottle Open up the throttle Its just getting hotter Im beside the potter I could be wise if I wanted Write the reprise when it started I could be scared if I needed to I could be, I called free I would be, I know me I see it all Recall the fall I rise from flames I am the name

What it feels like So this is what it feels like When you realize When you realize that None of it matters And its over Like it started This is what it seems like when their honest bout their secrets none of it matters you can trust em can you trust you This is what is feels like When your broken and disheartened Like one threw a boulder at your glass house and it shattered This is what it seems like at the bottom just when you've lost it all Just keep on climbing you can make it past the frontier Who you gonna rely on Rely on Who you gonna Rely on Rely On Who you gonna re ly on Re ly on Who you gonna rely on Rely on So this is what it feels like When you realize When you realize that None of it matters And its over Like it started This is what it seems like when their honest bout their secrets none of it matters you can trust em can you trust you

Stranger 02:53

I wake up in tears My dreams living my fears Where someone told me I was worthless For the color of my skin I can sleep now though Its later than Im up usually I cant shake the feeling That I don't know anymore But I could be the stranger that would save you You could be the savior once estranged who’s A diplomat who deals by serenading And pretending I was other than you made me Looming faster He say Pastor you Better call me home I want to go back home What if I never Experienced it all Pray by blue light you Had the night frights sirrah Someones bigotry Someones price for me Cause the color of my skin But I could be the stranger that would save you You could be the savior once estranged who’s A diplomat who deals by serenading And pretending Im not other than you made me But I could be the stranger that would save you You could be the savior once estranged who’s A diplomat who deals by serenading And pretending Im not other than you made me

Rocket 05:17
lyrics

Yellow mustard On my new jeans This old body seen some better things Better days are just around the corner So don't you wanna Six new grease spot on my new white hat Sick of working for these corporate cats But Better days are just around the corner So Don't you wanna Time to seize the day Hold on to your kite for it flies away now Hang on to my hand I dont want you to get lost For we escape rocket to stars 
Then I start to fall Theres been a wrench in the plans Long as I could recall from the first time they called I never fit in at all 
With the sight of them My dress slacks Blue Hat
Platforms Were a fright to them My uncaring bout the fame but the quality My want to live in frivolity I never understood inequality Segregation based on anything, I loathe Thats why I wont assimilate to Your clothes rules, your too cool, your fake generosity I was homeless twice before you proclaimed with ferocity You were the boss of me That means you have a friend you can rely on Someone looking out, when the shit hits the phan, will advise on A shoulder to cry on, Not a fuck you, Paisan You cant just pretend that Im gone Im right here Right on Time to seize the day Hold on to your kite for it flies away now Hang on to my hand I dont want you to get lost For we escape Oohs If I were to call you'd answer mine If I were to fall You'd be the mime
