Wandering

Someone comes there every night
knowing he'll put a fight
I closed a straight open door
one stayed for a year or more
take from me all that you will
no mind of holding him still
come see me off behind a
clean board, gives us much more sight
born under green glowing light
come here for patterns to see
unfolding a history
what's in there that you can see?
someone is following me
time spread me off behind a
off behind a wall weeping over you
come to mean a sanctuary lost for days and
Someone sees there every night
trading the dark for some light
give me more, choose your fate as
what's written comes from you hands
though a path can't be what you
choose all the time, there are rules
follow me off behind a wall that you can't lose
from within your inner ears
keep a calm cool head about them
lost for days and so
so he's wandering
where did your secret go is someone there instead?
though it's been giving a lot
time grows your fruit into rot
pick it pick it off
come when no ones there I'll keep you safe from harm I'll give you all the love the fruits of labor
keep your head inside and don't be scared of dying life does not say bye says see you later
I don't need your mind I'm here alone every time
I gave you so much to stab
you did right, you're kind you had
times to hurt me but you used it to sort me
I'm in your palm I grew this life I took a bite of it
I haven't loved for years
what's the main secret you use like teach me ways it's
framing a bowl
knowing no words
oh for a staff to hold under your clothes
break necks, bleed
for lives left in need
I keep a home in the past like never leave me
if I can give full exchange than you will read me
knock on a door without purpose I will need
she left before I could learn what it meant to be we

Shade Change

true false true bitch like fuck you
mind blown like a timed grenade
speak for residents hiding inside your mind doing bidding for me I learned that the hard way
manipulate my love like fuck you from above like teach me bout christ
counselors know better, fuck yourself I'd rather freak you in a room with rapping a bit
that's mine. how bout your mind? are you so bold? why don't you tell me bout your loved ones
owned by mistakes, the things I make, why don't you try and say some true things
now I say shit it don't mean it like let me back step it like you did
with fairy dreams I see your mind is following me stop take a break come back I wanna show you
there's nothing there
just as long as you can will it tell it to yourself for long enough you'll feel like it was always there now
so as long as you can feel it rock it love it till it die inside your mind and then it always come back
like as long as they can tell what to say and how to be and have it quickly coming out of your mouth
crazy! how I follow all these rules and make some pools and mild minds devise a way that they can [vacant] prove that
oh for a shade will change
spend my nights, speak to you through a broke piano
hoping with my life for ______ to sing soprano
oh so like angels speak to me like joseph it's okay you're going the right way
then why am I so scared? do I need fear? is there a body that I'm housing that I should not hold? do I have will to keep them off away from coming?
no I fear that's not the case at all you built those things inside you like a wall you can't just go like leave yourself alone I built a home but lovers not foretold
there's something there
just as long as you can will it tell it to yourself for long enough you'll feel like it was always there now
so as long as you can feel it rock it love it till it die inside your mind and then it always come back
like as long as they can tell what to say and how to be and have it quickly coming out of your mouth
crazy! how I follow all these rules and make some pools and mild minds devise a way that they can [vacant] prove that
then a shade will change

Watered Tree

I need words not chords
I need fruit not water
I need god not christ
I need a face no body
I just want myself
with your heads they're burning up
I'm getting taught but man let me teach
I'm out of reach
fine lines get crossed
don't wanna bear the cross I wanna gain what's lost
I mean
I need love not sex
I need her not you
I need truth not honesty
I need sustenance not food
My head will leak now speak now when I say it
like check my future out when you lay it
weigh it down with your shade like
pray for a cage just to hold in your rage write a page rock a stage
Language raw material uhh like ethereal clouds and heaven shit get sterile
like where's your devil at? you wanna fuck with that? you wanna learn a rap and test out how your feelers at and know black hats?
Get gay get straight get loose
it's late so I'm feeling it clearly
let me cut your noose
so you drank to the point where your spirit almost died? is that right? did you see some light? aid your sight?
Everything's omen like the movies that I watch
tell me what I need to hear see guide walk me as I walk
walk with me am I right? we can see some light
glutton greed vainglory ira every night
I got that sloth like its trash
it can kick my ass but all I gotta do is laugh and then that time has passed
Make the past come too don't forget that we grew
that's the point is it not? read shit get taught
Where are we now? I don't know
how you gonna make it go?
you gonna close the show no one know?
I got pages like fuck I don't use half of 'em like what? most of it sucks
demystify this shit like rockstars ain't my gods no more feeling near closure
exposure raw as fuck is my mind so real you feel weird? then fine.
drop a line buy a dimebag learn about how to find that shit I got behind that
in class check my backpack
gotta make it count I only got a minute
throw it out like clues the rules that governing it
I keep it alive with time too fast inside my mind
I never find the lies that fuck me up inside
so help carry me up
that's youth
I can't give a fuck like
quit being such a sitting duck like
feel that body stop! don't stop me now
I just started like finished that shit with some time to spare
saw skies to look in my eyes reflect out when I stare
it's cause I am always feeling pain
so many bodies are me are we
we find out ways to share
share minds share souls
in our time we react to the air
truly just like stuff like magazines
look so softly you'll see what I mean
gotta be quick kill me
I'm the furthest that I can be
from where you're going and where you are suppose to be
not home but just to the core of this watered tree
gotta claim these lands that are spreading outside of me
all minds feel them they all become eventually

Dark Cloud

|
dark cloud rolls in not to give a pour
grass sways softly for your eyes no more
stand to face what's there to never see
react safely look in inwardly
still not sure where I am
I'll scream out sick with fear based chants
so defeated so regularly
still just want to be in a tree
to think the force is a person may give comfort it's not important
be for me don't stop what will hold him down a hope for it will not sort it out
keep those lights for your own
the way they glow is not your home
you'd see so clear but you're too near
your body will not let you here
you've given me mountains my fountain is dry
I've failed you you're right won't claim a bright light nor christ
I've no sight end my night where it started with delusions bite
no strength to fight spare my life a beaten wife her face is white get more she might
(usually it puts me in bed dreaming bout being whole being better off dead tour the past with my right hand from just days ago)
stay in today your weight surely leaks and is it okay for me too?
you want to be the best old man
so proud and calm you played your hand
as best you can and perfect it was
beyond your dreams you felt full love
we feel other bodies
we understand that the hate must come
we leave real quick to avoid the other side we're of
we come back when there is nothing there but some good to take
hate to be true to you all but all we do is take
feel like I lived full lives
though I just sat for minutes inside
a love a fear the weak a hate
I never meant to be so late
I seek to repair the broken other side
you must be there but my youth hurts you
to face that truth I'll love it there
come quick but you go just as soon
lose your mind
don't derive read the words in your room
incubated womb
holding on to truth like it's proof of your masters loose care
cause he's not always there
won't always get your share but you seek to repair
emperors in underwear unsure of why he's there
simple lines to draw unless you walk to feel fall
see the night will fall the way we think is a round ball
learn of all the laws
hold on I want to grow upward
wanna see clearly
look for a way down from this peak
I can be a watered seed
feel so lucky angels fuck me
up without a care
I can feel them water heals them quick I take a sip
now I am in the way for a jump off
can I jump off into your mind? and some love I'll find
be there
be there for me
show you're holy for me
wanna bleed it for me
love and hate it for me
wanna build a story
starts on christmas morning
gotta sing to be it now
there's something to see
here I weep
for a lover's breath on me
dark cloud rolls in not to give a pour
grass sways softly for your eyes no more
stand to face what's there to never see
react safely look in inwardly
though to think the force is a person may give comfort it's not important
be for me don't stop what will hold him down a hope for it will not sort it out

Song is Child (Prelude)
03:31
|
|||
|
directed I know to go and how to be you
pained in your skin furthest I can reach out to you
starlight feels this
how to reach to give a feeling
love must contain painful meaning if it is to be the same thing
what can I know if I succumb to you?
will there be kindness on ways down?
I gained so much from it
I kept so much of it
please me
get up
see you out of your sorrow
learn you
hear that voice is not you god spoke through you
see a mountain
not so hard to climb to make it mine I take a step and check to see if what I did was right
you need to take a break I gave you love when you were just a baby boy
you'll know just what to do don't worry bout the fear on the way up
I'll hold on to what you made with that
keep in touch through what is sacred that
thank you for it
song for loving
help me feel I'm not so alone
time for some of what we've made up
hope there's love that's all that I want
for you to feel I know you're there
child stares up eyes water at that
and to come down I'll land you softly if you promise to be for me
you'll see glory can come if you are pure if what you do is how I say to you
not to blindly follow to know and feel that what I'm saying is you it's true
bring back a way that's what you said to me
stare up my eyes are molten now
I know what you must give for that
I just want to help give to that
beat me for it
song for loving
help me feel I'm not so alone
time for some of what we've made up
hope there's love that's all that I want
for you to feel I know you're there
child stares up eyes water at that
It's never done I've never won
I feel a way up but I'm hopeful for failed goals
it's not for me though page has fallen out the book I read it still
will you walk with me keep me company I'm lonely when I can't see so clearly
I'm just too close I made a mind and now I've died I'm joking here
cause nothing is real
always have fear
talk like a seer
