Simple Truths
02:45
|

|
tumbleweed rolls by
through the plains (through the plains)
this is how it's gonna be
without you, right here with me
and all the things made me feel so good
these things i won't forget
i keep staring at old photos of you and me
i believed in you and me (mmm)
ooh ooh ooh ooh (doo doo)
simple truth is
you don't love me no more
did you ever love me anyway
and i can act like it doesn't hurt
but that wouldn't be so fair
i can't escape these feelings no
there'll be no more you and me (no)
ooh ooh ooh ooh (doo doo)
hope you find the right end of me
heaven loves me
simple truth is
you don't love me no more
did you ever love me anyway
did you really love me anyway
did you really love me anyway

Yellow Iris

bending lines
taking time until we fill our holes with life
pacing down the years until we tranquilize
fine with all the bullshit that they doctrinize
in our feeble minds it's just a ploy to find
satisfaction in on what they can't rely
are you fitted for the route where you could rise
look me in the eye no time to compromise
we're going off the grain ready to live real lives
[how long does it take to feel it]
there's something out there (yeah)
i show you my colors and lettin em breath
it's real spacious out here, hope that can bring you ease (uh)
i'm checkin into my memory bank
only a few stories floated, all the rest sank
shit was never giddy from the jump tho
every now n then i'm gettin caught up in a stump tho
i'm just bein real
past 2 years, shit got real
when my pops died, i couldn't make out how to feel (feel, feel, feel)
and that's life tho
easier said and that's for certain
it took some time i took some L's i'm still learnin
how to find a way to cope with depression
put my pen on the paper, applied the pressure
dark forces tried to keep me in the margins
but i flourish like a yellow iris in the garden
1 day just said fuck it off the bat
put music out, and niggas was fuckin with it off the bat
dutifully shining across the brightest hours
everyday i recognize some new hidden powers
talking bout the many possibilities
of who i am, what i want, what i could be

Pandemonium

|
did i get myself here
how did i get myself here
every night
close my eyes
yea
here we go
here we go
here we go
go again
(uhuhuh)
looking for the answers
wrong places
make sure to wear my big boy hat
i'm taking care of business
things getting formulaic
start acting like you know
can't take back whats been done
i'm trynna stack this dough
it was all in my head (it was all in my head)
all in my head

Untitled/Unfinished
02:06
|
|||
|
you were supposed to call
can't stop looking at my phone
but you ain't gonna call
know cuz i've seen this before (this before)
you tell me that you feel alone
i don't think that's true
cuz i'm the one that's all alone
how can that be true
i should be getting better (now that i'm away from you)
things are getting better (if only i had seen it through)
i know i always find (i should admit at times i'm confused)

Spotlight
03:33
|
|||
|
things have been so crazy and hectic
i should've gotten back by now
but you know how much i wanted to make it
it's probably better anyhow
so if you gotta go
if there's anything i should know
if the spotlight makes you nervous [da da da da]
if you're looking for a purpose [da da da da]
you put the tea in the kettle and light it
put your hand on the metal and feel it (uh)
but do you even feel it anymore?
i remember when you thought i was joking
now i'm off singing karaoke
further than i've ever been (no)
so if you gotta go
if there's anything i should know
only trynna get ahead, ahead of you
i was only trynna get ahead
if the spotlight makes you nervous
if you're looking for a purpose
[da da da da]

Anything Can Happen
01:12

or maybe i'll believe in love (oh)
you'd be the one to sweep me off my feet (off my feet)
we could have nice things
sleep side by side (if we could be)
and i wouldn't want more
i just want you
and you'd be my fiancé
one day start a family
name our first son André
cigarette butts on the ashtray
reminiscent bout the past, life move fast (yea)
and in this perfect little world of mind
i just want you (i just want you)

now and then i think about the times we shared
i had myself a good time
i know you did, too
saturdays helly breezy nights with you (with you)
now we in a definition crisis
honestly i’m pretty indecisive
convos on your roof underneath the moon (underneath the moon)
talking bout all of our problems
figuring out just how to solve em
you say that i don’t know what i want from you (what i want)
i can’t find where my habits hide
i guess i’m blind that i make you cry
maybe i’m not enough for you
maybe i’m not enough
i think i'm not enough
i'm working through some things
it wasn't just fun
it’s harder to believe
i dreamt it
i dreamt it
i dreamt it all at once
and here we stand in the midst of it all
of it all
of it all
[of it all]
i’m the elephant in the room
why it's always me, never you?
maybe i'm? maybe i'm?
you say that you’re wasting precious time
you say i’m the one that did you grime
maybe i'm? maybe i'm?
maybe i’m not enough
maybe i’m not enough

how you ain't say you was movin' forward?
honesty hurts when you're gettin' older
i gotta say i'll miss the way you need me, yeah
why you ain't say you was gettin' bored?
why you ain't say i was fallin' short?
how you lead me out so far away?
how could it be? 20 sumthing
all alone still, not a thing in my name
ain't got nothin', runnin' from love
only know fear
that's me, Ms. 20 Sumthing
ain't got nothin', runnin' from love
wish you were here, ooh
stuck in them 20 sumthings, stuck in them 20 sumthings
good luck on them 20 sumthings, good luck on them 20 sumthings
god bless these 20 somethings
(god bless, oh god bless, oh god bless, oh god bless, oh)
hopin' my 20 sumthings won't end
hopin' to keep the rest of my friends
prayin' the 20 sumthings don't kill me, don't kill me
took us so long to separate
feels permanent like a riptide, this time
waves crashing fast, i try
think of the past, please stay
how could it be? 20 sumthing
all alone still, not a phone in my name
ain't got nothin', runnin' from love
only know fear
that's me, Ms. 20 Sumthing
ain't got nothin', runnin' from love
wish you were here, ooh
stuck in them 20 sumthings, stuck in them 20 sumthings
good luck on them 20 sumthings, good luck on them 20 sumthings
god bless these 20 sumthings
(god bless, oh god bless, oh god bless, oh god bless, oh)
hopin' my 20 sumthings won't end
hopin' to keep the rest of my friends
prayin' the 20 sumthings don't kill me, kill me

Crawlin

5 years i've been crawlin
in another 5 i could be through
now it's 4 in the mornin
and i don't know what i'm gonna do
3rd street doesn't want me
and neither do any one of you
2 days till the weekend
1 more then i'm starting new
just put me on the night flight going to the moon
cuz when my life is outta sight, i might know what i gotta do
you can drop me off and fly away
a quarter million miles from my mistakes
i wanna give it all a break
and start again with fresher taste
5 years i've been crawlin
in another 5 i could be through
now it's 4 in the mornin
and i don't know what i'm gonna do
3rd street doesn't want me
and neither do any one of you
2 days till the weekend
1 more then i'm starting new

So Forth [live]
05:32

but i couldn't hold my breath
i’m feeling guilty
but you tried
[conflicted by the past]
and i just hope you come across what you’ve been looking for
hope you know what you mean to me
nuanced hues of blue mingled in light
peril blooming
i would’ve called back
a million times
didn’t know it would be like this
didn’t think it would be like this
all the things that i should’ve said
all the things that we could’ve done
all these voices yelling in head
guess the memories will do me well
pray to God for your serenity
a part of me that will never leave
i should've been better
you should've been better
and so forth after all...
