Chain Reaction
04:05
|

|
It's a chain reaction all the time
Influence and death, the sun it gives us life every morning
You can learn from anything you choose
An idiot slurping cereal, maybe i'll wanna do that sometime
We get lost in our own understanding
Water keeps you well, food will keep you fed then take you down
I want loving morning, day and night
I want only satire items of clothing on my skin, I never want to win

One Single Star
02:05
|

|
As soon as the bus hits the hill you can see the lights shining down on the river like a promised utopia
One single star sits in the sky and highlights the things stuck on your mind
I love that we must pretend something will fix you up
You set it up as if it were a fire drill
Drop everything and run so if it ever gets that bad I won't actually fuckn die
One single star in the sky
You can gaze upon your harvest
Brown turns green and the goals you set become dreams
Driving round town in your old white car talking about our feelings right now
I ain't gonna ask you how cause I know
I was there when we woke
We spent the evening in your generously shared room smashing take-away
So let me ask you something
How do you get remembered if you don't eventually die?
The elite are piling fortunes just to keep them alive

Sweet Charita

There was a girl in her shack awaiting her heart attack
These are the moments of our lives and there's not much we can do about that
A young boy, about 12, drops by before school everyday
He rides his blue bike on past the gold tops in his blue uniform
He will survive when she arrives at her destination
Just a billion of a billion more to come
All destined for their doom
A middle aged woman arranged a shelter for the native boys
And whilst opening her arms got hit by sickness, it aint nothin
Her son strolls around the yard, the property stretches far
They didn't hear the Cooee call and no one ever does in the long run
I scream "god forsake me" I am the one I care about
They will survive while she arrives at her destination
Just a billion of a billion more to come
We are just one
Listen. Only One.
Sweet Charita up on the hill submitting to it's clients so the people live
Having enough is enough to give a damn
Turning this in is not in my hands
Respect the exit, then built yourself a comfort zone and stick to it
Having enough is enough to give a damn
Sweet Charita Looms on the cliffs edge
Now any time pain annoys you stop by her door
The pills will come with your patience in a moment
Just stop past her door

World Built of U
03:42

I'd like to paint a little world with no trees, the only breeze is for the pebbles and the dirt
And i'd like to paint you in the frame
When the rain comes down and nature flourishes from your soul
And all of the lands start turning green
Creatures crawl out of the ocean, blue, and in my little world it's all because of you
You've built my ozone
And I guess I owe you one
I'd like to film a block-busting movie about evacuating Hollywood
Cause I had a dream that we could take them in
Talk some shit and pick apart the cool kids
And put them in a cool corner to cool them down
And we'd start a fire for the ones in pain
We could talk it out and cry and scream and get silly in the mountains as they start to form
In my little world we fall

Super Original People
05:03
|

|
Multi-dimensional people walk the streets, party hard and make each other laugh
If you're stuck in the middle don't wait for the green light
Every breath refreshes the moment
Super original people talk to me and indirectly explain their hardships
If you're waiting for something don't wait for the whole time
Why would you try and dig a hole on the beach when it's high tide
Cause it'll wash away those heavy feelings
Watching something caving in
Cast your cells with your crowd of people
We are sinners is our place waiting round for forgiveness
A rainbow on top of a rainbow on my street but I can't find the end of it
If you've reached all conclusion you must have reached the grave
I know i'm in love, I can taste it
One mind slips by another
They high five and talk about their dream state
If you're looking to get higher swim to the deep end
But if you feel a little low just speak to your friends
I know i'm in love, I can taste it
It feels like flowers growing out of my heart
It'll wash away those heavy feelings
Watching something caving in
Cast your cells with your crowd of people
We are sinners is our place waiting round for forgiveness
I know I'm in love, I can taste it
And I know that you are mine

Breathing Exercise

A misunderstanding of my own misunderstanding leaves me calm
Cause I ain't gonna run, yes it hurts me but i'm done with the woods
Have you said all you could before you dried up the air with loud heartbeats and breaths?
I am taunted by the essence of the past and promises made for a moment
Stretching their arms past their time and into mine where their presence reeks
And I ain't nothing but a dying bit of skin with a reason to live
And the silence alone is like the silence with you, tension or not
And you speak of my space as if it's not made for two
I ain't nothing now but a dying human being in his shivering skin
There's a verb that's reaching from a sentence almost baring answers
I'm glad the puzzles glitching while my internal one wares down
If you'd been sitting in the field down next to my place you might see me sprinting by barefoot in the freezing cold
Being gazed at by the fools, and it feels so wrong of me to accuse them as I'm walking, frost-bitten, violently abusing my own face
I am the shame of my own race at the first sign of doubt in her tears
And I can't feel a thing but your heart beating so impatiently
My thought process alone still aligns with you
Intention is not why you speak of my space as if it is not made for two
I guess I've just been ignoring all the facts lately
I am the shame of my own race at the first sight of me in her tears

Hey what's your name?
You over there singing hymns on the edge of the curb
You seem creative and kind of cool, yes I want to get to know you man
I want to know where you're going
Are your wheels in motion too?
There's so much traffic and you don't give a damn about anyone hearing you
Where is your ego?
Where is your, excuse the pause, protective layer?
Do you hide away from things or just sit around and sing to yourself?
I didn't mean to know enough to know that I am free to stack you on a shelf of thoughts and questions for myself
You could call it personal but the worst of it is gone
I am now approaching, reaching for your hand
I am just another man wanting to know just who you are
You are confronted with a man of uncomfortable looks and a charm built only from black matter
You substitute your point of view for curiosity and try and take it on
He tries to show you his new pants
He's looking you straight down the barrel
Maybe it's a genius bait for a social awareness prank and I failed to pick up on the memo
Hey man, whats your name?
