The Reset Era

Reset, reset, reset
A sunny glow in our paradise
Brings us back to better days
That funny way you levitate
Makes me feel like something strange
Dream of our self
We are all one
That feeling of unreal
The image, sound are none
Reset, reset, reset
We say the sun will stay
Summer songs shake out the glow (and find you)
Breathing downward without dark below (instills that)
We are the truth you imitate (and when the)
The dream has you, yet again (then we should)
Dream of our self
We are all one
That feeling of unreal
The image, sound are none
Reset, reset, reset
We say the sun is gone
(We say the sun will stay)
We drink the fallen stars
(We save the golden one)
We save the sun, we save the sun, we save the sun, we save the sun

Gimme the Dream Touch

I’ve fallen prey to the deceptively named
Now i’m sprawled across the pavement all decrepit and maimed
With the words scrawled upon my face in every pimple and stain
This that pain’s quinceanera, it’s a king shrinking era
It’s imperative that you sift through me like a sieve
You ain’t never gave a fuck who I am, just what I did
It’s the monetary end of wisdom, pocket your change
Voluntary embolism, keyed and locked in the same
Way of feeling, stave the healing, play an impossible game
Pray to ceilings, days concealing away the thoughts in my brain
If I caught every one passed I’d have the Biletnikoff
If I drop what’s incoming, i’ll probably be written off
Killing beats around the world, an international assassin
I’m turning a class act back into an actual fashion
I can’t function, so be my Y-combinator
What’s the point of gaining peace by bombing on haters?
I’d rather convert them than hurt them
Blather my lines, design and rehearse them
If I sound laughably fun, I could be living off capital funds
One hundred to one odds, I managed to see it with my eyes
The adage is lies but the damage is done
They think I be reaching my limit
I don’t sink, I don’t preach, I just pivot
Life be cutting me down to my size
What they don’t realize is i’m bound to be buzzin and stunning the crowd til I've won every first prize
Joining the worst guys, none saw it come
Once i’m a knight call me surprise
Don’t fight it, it’s already begun
The shot heard around the world wasn’t fired from guns
I’m hotter than suns, I should be hired for puns
I mean my wordplay is righteous
So gold I’m Midas, so cold I’m lifeless
I’d rather convert them than hurt them
Heard all my verses, they opening purses
If persons be having some fun, I could be happy with what i have done
One hundred to one odds, I managed to see it with my eyes
The bandage belies that the damage is done

You Died
04:15

You’re in a dream, you’re seventeen
You’re walking down your memories
Your mind expands to flying now
You try to wake and can’t escape
The dream calls for you
It’ll eat you inside, you’ve melted and died
Riders in the sky
You’ll see them when you die
Rainbow man, collects his hand
Reaches down, towards river sand
Thinking blue, you mean monsoon
Your shoe’s untied, and the moon’s off too
What does this image mean?
It’s branded color screens
You’ve painted nothing, just meaningless
The sky’s asleep, turquoise unity
Dreamwater’s done, last cloud, last cloud
Riders in the sky
You’ll see them when you die

Talker

Promised child, I was born blonde and skittish
I’m bound to renege on sounding ominous
Popeye no raw spinach, I’ve found a new image
but when I open my mouth, y’all are finished
I distort the words I wrote on investigative reports
Death don’t know the weight of his pale horse
But his horse knows the weight of death, and every protest takes the place of breaths
Can’t cauterize, I spoke last, I caught flak
Apologize for what? Huh? That I fought back?
Thoughts rack my brain, that’s all that remains
Hold them back, restrain, it’s uncharted terrain
Still distraught from the war, I sought facts
so I don’t talk anymore, I’m all rap
Tight lipped til my reckoning comes
But is it better the weight of the world than the weight of the one?
I’m speaking tongues
watch your step if you are going down a sharp incline
or if there are snakes
or if you are a virgin
I wanna answer the phone, but I know better
Sever tether to mind, I’m choking on letters
Misarticulate the pain, stick to all the same refrains, man what am I saying?
Mend the mechanics and lose the message, stumbled and stuttered through my confessions
And it’s a miracle I can even speak with my tongue so firmly wedged in cheek

Driver

We are the dreamers….
Animated thing, you could make our trouble blink away
What do you say?
All this dust still in our way
We’ve been awake all day, driving
It gets too comforting
I think we’re breaking down
And taking all we tried to be along on our final crash
Little road delay, you could part our bodies from their weight
It’s not as hard as making it out of this trajectory
Give us this velocity we need
And hope that we don’t fall asleep
I think we’re breaking down
And taking all we tried to be along on our final crash
I feel us coming up
I know they’ll notice us
If we can stay awake
If you’re all in on a lifestyle, before you even got your feet wet
If you rely on a mindset, what you find you will forget
If you adhere to a guideline, your god won’t hear a thing
You betray you every time

All You Need
04:47

All you need is the one part of me
All you see is the one side of me
Cowboys of nine, let ‘em ride, let ‘em ride
Eyes shining dark out of that bright night
Signs, signs, signs, you saw it coming from miles away
I flooded the house, took atypical routes
Now there’s firestorms in the south
And I’ve got the ugliest mouth that you’ve ever seen
Ever been privy to, I just keeping doing as the red letters do
Wouldn’t be here if there were any other way
You wanna see me act, but where’s my part to play?
All you need is the one part of me
All you see is the one side of me
All you need is the warm part of me to tear you down easy
If all you need is all you seek, you’ve lost me in reverie
Shoot at the stars, buckle the belt of Orion
I let them fire me, I didn’t say bye now I might annihilate
All that I love is lemonade
Teach me how to dance and I will dance until my dying day
Smirk’s got me flirting and whiskey’s got me laughing
Forehead on the counter I keep tap tap tap tapping
And from a little yawn grew a long letter A
Still play in rain, rebel yell, yelling “hey” and hearing “hey hey hey”
Now I’ll stick it to your science, now that my pelvis is swinging
It’s an alright time for dying
And that’ll get me out of your way
When all the fervor of your favor is spent, end of the day

Greater One

Lately I feel like a satellite that went to bed
Rocket down and hit the ground, in this debris tuck myself in
Find a new dream in my crown and rip it out and wonder why
Told me twice to live I have to visualize
I get the feeling that the dream is all you do
I keep appealing until mine become the truth
Crack up the ceiling and the light might touch you too
But don’t expect to be the type I see right through
I would like to ride a flightless bird over the plain
Maybe if I got the speed I could get away from everything
Find a secret in my mouth and spit it out and start again
Perfect terms, alluring words, I’m starving
I get the feeling that the dream is all you do
I keep appealing until mine become the truth
Crack up the ceiling and the light might touch you too
But don’t expect to be the type I see right through
Kick off the covers and be what you love to do
Keep up the seeming and you might become that too
Crack up the ceiling and the light might touch you too
But don’t expect to be the type I see right through

Keep a beat I need to tear up
I am flaring up and I conceive no error
I feel like a dream team cup bearer
And they’re literally sleeping on me
No setup
I’d like to reset this era
Keep it on the green, keep it on my serum
I cannot connect when I scare them
With the middle of the night tent tear
Born terror
I look like a demonologist
Necronomic and beyond I keep reading all of this
So convenient is the drop that I can talk a lot of shit
It’s a slice of my mind
Lobotomous
I’d like to live my life like a python
Oh I think I might be asleep to the night sun
They should not disturb me when my hide’s on
Just another reason we should never turn the lights on
I’m so far gone that I can’t go back to sleep
(This home I loathe)
My head is clouded and my will keeps getting weak
(Where I feel like the backwards message on a window pane)
I can’t go back and I can’t get through to you
(This home I loathe)
I need my life back and I’ll be who I want to be
(Where I feel like the backwards message on a window pane)

Palindrome

Once you say the room’s heavy, say it again in another way
Into the heart, entangle a mammoth flower eclipse
Slithering the window, becoming blinds
After tying a knot in my hair, like anyone would
Once you say you were happy, you think you already know
You already know how to do it
Kinda cash in hand, kinda how should I start?
Tender rows of zeros
Every spectacle contains the immanence of catastrophe
We kill everyone who loves us
Once you say the room’s heavy, say it again in another way
Once you say you were happy, you think you already know
Don’t you think that you never win
Can’t you tell I need you to not let me tell you I just wanna be alone?
The passion of destruction is a creative joy
We kill everyone who loves us through the worries we give them
And the fears we ceaselessly cause
The hypomania set in, another cycle of threats and
Pair of satanical shut-ins, I hit the panic button
I close the shutters, I shudder to think of what her thoughts found in gutters
Muttered under breaths, I questioned my best intentions
Taste of the tension, a bitter bullet i can’t rescind
I better pull this sin from its beginning
I’m obstinate, probably carcinogenic
But I don’t own a place in no hearts, i’m just a tenant
If i stand by my tenets, i’ll be alone with the remnants of failed relationships
The feeling relayed is repentance
I just gave her a word, she turned it into a sentence
With no pretense of anything but never-ending vengeance
I just wish i was forewarned I'd always be forlorn
She was the apple of my eye, now she’s the eye of the storm
But it’s I who feel scorned
Fuck your warm words, nothing helps, I’m done
And i’m still giving in
Riding razors down my skin, writing musings in fissures
Deepen nicks, wish to bruise and blister
I’m the bloodletter, to feel better’s a fool’s fetter
Won’t be resisting intent to injure
Limp fist between two blocks of cinder
With a wu-tang BLAOW, like I don't need these fingers
Fuck it, stone to bone, I don’t need these digits
I’mma roll up on the bank and make a final withdrawal
All y’all see is the oddest of odysseys
The curtain falls and I'm out of the scene
This that salt the earth mentality
They’ll drain the salt of the sea from my bloated lungs
With trace of base agents on my tongue
Disfigure my face so you remember me wrong
And I killed off my name because I'm an only son
It’s only aching from now on
I’m taking every line that you said, breaking it down, shaking my head
Be it the knife or the bottle, bet we’re both better off dead
I’m a big flop, I'm pissed off, I should make the rhythm in my wrist stop
Used to think I could do something worthy of a legend
Now i’m ingloriously a victim of alleged
Crimes, I'm resigned, so dead inside, I fell off the vine
I’m not a sinner but don’t tempt me, my life is just empty
Wish you had killed me, maybe I'll do it myself,
Why is it I gotta die for you to get help?
The last lesson learned, still touched the stove knowing it burned
Worst of all, I don’t deserve this, no this is what I earned.
What happened to that kid holding the bass?
Wide eyed in fisheye lens, why’d I let that feeling pass?
You’re right, it’s no surprise it’s my fault
I wanted the assault, cause I know I'm not worth it
I’m the judge and that’s the verdict
