Where The Ocean Once Was

Aimless 04:58
why take aim because aimless is drifting and drifting is easier easier brings peace till it lies in pieces and so we go into out silence the shot energy diffuses the pieces that scatter to gather up to carry easier to leave and so we go leave it behind

Nine Times 04:40
I soak up the eastern rain Thirst for the western sky Before I end this refrain I’ll take stock of all my lives I must’ve died at least 9 times Searching for the gate of my kind of heaven No more bundle of sticks to carry to keep me alive Knocking on my door But somehow it’s me that’s answering One and done I soak up the eastern rain Thirst for the western sky Before I end this refrain I’ll take stock of all my lives I must’ve died at least 9 times Taking the cheating fate bate to distract me from the wait wait Cause heaven is a bundle of tricks on my back And I must thrive on earth’s floor God free God help me One and done I soak up the eastern rain Thirst for the western sky Before I end this refrain I’ll take stock of all my lives I must’ve died at least 9 times

ometimes i well up and threaten to weep it’s the tragedy of your sweetness when you went to sleep pressed on me it was everything well my joy is checked by your bittersweet growth pride in your speed fear of your velocity your grip on my hair pressed on me was everything

WTOOW 02:45

there’s a lean to for you on my little patch and if you should come i’d raise a kingdom under a roof of thatch and if i pull the weeds mend the fence paint the outside bright would it be less tense inside tonight inside tonight a terrace on a windswept hill where the mountains hit the sea that’s what it would take to distract me and if the dirt does seed and out front the car is safely parked and if i turned on the porch light would it be less dark inside tonight inside tonight

Wing Song 03:46
we’ve all heard of the great migration stirring the air that these walls confine at my best i am a dragonfly i feed on the fly as you blur by at my best i need rest this pond is an ocean and life’s a test skimming for whys as you blur by hear my wing song and i’m gone we’ve all heard of the great migration charging the air that these walls confine i am a dragonfly i feed on the fly bye bye hear my wing song and i’m gone i’m gone i’m gone

Kid Cali 05:04
kid cali where i laid out my possibility from the pacific to the joshua trees lush memories old and dried consumed by fire how the power lied built from smoke forced to rot i feel set adrift i feel landlocked in cracked earth where winter is hot how we walk on plastic water though miracles sought what the land feels the sea air heals kid cali we must reach higher to your purest peaks higher than fires aspire what the land feels the sea air heals

I ache For the you in youth For the fool in foolishness For the he in she But she's not there for me I have to be All I've been is reaction To sound and vision But they'll not dazzle me now I need new theater Cause now I only act out To empty seats To judgement ghosts On a sage set for soliloquy All I've been is reaction To sound and vision But they'll not dazzle me now I pray For the true in truth Then I prey on you Cause we missed our cues And now I need the space To swing my arms in All I've been is reaction To sound and vision But they'll not dazzle me now

Shtoom 03:46
then we went shtoom summon the ideals we usually hide behind it’s gonna be a bumpy ride things have been torn up inside then we went shtoom summon the comfort food it’s time for a good brood used to be you could just tickle the mood till they invaded our neighborhood then we went shtoom they’re wearing similar clothes striking familiar poses is that where their money goes even though deep down they oppose this summon the ideals we usually hide behind we should be taking a stand but we’re not the fighting kind shtoom then we went shtoom

Time Served 04:46
Police release the lease Respond defend defund Colored deterred absurd Grease the need to please In hand hate’s gland swollen Glad hand the greed politician Preserved time served A prisoner to history For peace release the lease The land in sand frozen Deafened the ears for years Funny what our money backs Permit legit terrorists Cease fire aspire to conspire Preserved time served A prisoner to history Behave ex slaves your free Rockets and fists terrorists Redeem esteem white dream Preserved time served A prisoner to history
