lyrics

"We are in the unfortunate position
of being aware of time
being aware of the future
and although it's advantageous to know about the future
in the long run its depressing
because we all know that we come to a bad end
and that everything falls apart in time
where the world is regarded
as a process that begins beautifully
but as it goes on
it gets worse and worse until it destroys itself
than theres a long period of rest
and it starts out again
beginning beautifully
but getting worse and worse all the time"

- Alan Watts


It was All clear
There was no fog
We The Last of the analog
I remember ballin' in the front yard
Than it Led to chiefin' in the backyard
Shit I started rappin on the walk home
Everything was happening its all new
Started making something got a whole crew
I was breathing in the whole view

L rides in the daytime
Thuggish ruggish bone on the baseline
Back when we never had to make time

We were all lost but it seemed fine

We clicked in a deep way
House party on the weekday
Three day bender on the replay
wake up and let the beat play

it was Sold out shows
Fake IDs
30 something deep
Tour bus on the street

It was all I need
It was all I breathe
It was all our scene
We could taste that fame

I Had to chase it down
Ten thousand hours It was sacred ground
I’d Live thru the pain just to write it down
It was All for for the sights and Sounds

Heart on my sleeve
So Young and naive
Always the one to leave
Had a Knife in my back
I never wanted to see


And So I jumped in headfirst
Lost all my day one networks
Drink - drug, yeah whatever ,that works
I’m Just Trying to forget that it gets worse


Shit I woke up
On the floor
In the car
In the jail
In the bar
You forget who you are
When it’s all for the last call
Love lost I fell thru the trap door
Who would've thought
I would even make it that far
I built it up just to burn it the backyard

He lit a match
It didn’t match

I took a step
than took it back


I took a breath

And put it back


it was a test

That I didn’t pass yet



That wasn’t me

It was someone else


A lot of work
just to shovel out


I learned how To live without



Spend time

When it’s running out


strum chords that i learned from a ghost now
all the words get stuck up in my throat now
burn both sides than it goes out
make art from the dark part thrown out

you plant seeds
don’t leave
and it grows out

a tendency to be what i drove out

feel a need to leave
it seems worn out
same town
that brought down this whole sound

i found whats been down the big chase
can’t call
what was lost
in the first place
been off the rails since the first taste
i changed the ways
a self first-aid

raincloud parade on my first day
gotta tame the rage and meet mid way
think of all the energy i did waste
all of those that never leave and did stay
were never here they disappear its one way
they play it safe
n never stray
than one day
not a trace
not a peep
its no game

without a loss
there is no gain

still i am a lost
its insane

i started looking up
and the view changed

i started giving up on a few things

i wrote the same song on some new strings

started listening to what you say

started tapping into the woo sa

stop pushing it too far

stop looking and move one
