How To Drown
04:04

caught in a wave
i musta thought about it everyday
you tried so hard but now i cant look away
how to drown in someone
look at us now
were searching for things that will never be found
i hear your voice but i cant make out a single sound
how to drown in someone
passing through a portal where i once stayed
you told me it would never be this easy again
i try to feel my lungs but theyre all filled up
you never hear it coming even when it builds up

Kirbstomp

Silence has no place in her heart because she cannot contain
the beckoning call and the growling always reflected in her refrain
she directs the flow of all that she knows cuz she only feels the pain
we just dont know where she will go because shell be screaming until it strains

Cacao Tree

fingers wrapped around your curls cuz i just cant keep them to myself
the lingering stare you cast upon my eyes i crave and might need to seek some help
delicious pigment sinful skin i can pick you right off of a cacao tree
even though you talk it down you wont understand how much you mean to me
i would give my life for you
could you feel the same perhaps
should i try to be more receptive
even when you turn your back
the way your body moves like a paradigm shift
always ratchet and unkept because your never in line with it
bastard tactics that always keep me on edge
i will make sure you will never get the best of me again
i would give my life for you
could you feel the same perhaps
should i try to be more receptive
even when you turn your back

Runnin' Around
02:47
|

|
they say that im always causing problems
but i dont understand
living under constant
but i dont reprimand
talkin hella strange when youre never in line
pieces of yourself project onto me all the time
never would i do that never would i break it down
to something so simple as taking off your crown
runnin around on the same streets you do
i never had a doubt
im making you scared because of all the transgressions
that you hold within yourself
so much to say
and so little value
not afraid of the truth by any means
but i am when its about you
talkin hella strange when youre never in line
pieces of yourself project onto me all the time
never would i do that never would i break it down
to something so simple as taking off your crown
runnin around on the same streets you do
i never had a doubt
im making you scared because of all the transgressions
that you hold within yourself

Abide
05:22
|

|
it can happen like flipping a coin
wealthy in the mental but poor physical joints
basic aspirations grinded bones into dust
solemnly repeating all the patience with trust
i took my time to make sure that you were never a burden
burned out incinerated all the lessons learned
i make my case in point because my logic is flawed now
ill take my time to make sure that it leaves me profound
solace and rebirth are constant pains of mine"
you think rest is coming but the nights wont abide
you try to replace it but you only come to find
that you wont be embraced again in this life
tried and defeated im glad you said it when you did
i didnt know what you needed but now it somewhat makes sense
like a fire started it cant depart until everything is swallowed
desired when its ever so full but deserted leaving me hollow
i took my time to make sure that you were never a burden
burned out incinerated all the lessons learned
i make my case in point because my logic is flawed now
ill take my time to make sure that it leaves me profound
solace and rebirth are constant pains of mine"
you think rest is coming but the nights wont abide
you try to replace it but you only come to find
that you wont be embraced again in this life

Delayed Atonement
05:57
|
|||
|
wasting away the cuts and the burns cuz they stifle all the progress
sloshing around covered in blood because you thought you could be lawless
why must it be so complicated when you try to talk to me
complacent and so based in the smoldering recovery
you spent your days giving and giving and giving
to those who dont care if you were dead or still living
you will find no love in these arms
you spat them out like bones
it will take a whole lot of time before you ever atone
pulsating flesh discarded ways to pat yourself on the back
you still find a way to keep them from the trap
why must it be so complicated when you try to talk to me
complacent and so based in the smoldering recovery
you spent your days giving and giving and giving
to those who dont care if you were dead or still living
you will find no love in these arms
you spat them out like bones
it will take a whole lot of time before you ever atone

Reveries
05:28
|
|||
|
day sets into dusk and settles right into darkness
the web thats woven only shows me that the bite will be harmless
icefall will cover my skin and i will become a preserved carcass
i could live a thousand lives in your eyes and still feel cathartic
why is it a trip to ever think you could end up
grasping your loves hand amongst the dust
never giving in to let it rust
why do i do this to myself when i know what it wont
make sense to keep the peace
because you never wanted that from me
smoke signals around your head i should have noticed sooner
always oblivious to me the words i speak have never been truer
jealously consumes me even though i dont have a place to be angry
reveries still looming because what i want is not meant to be
taking chances with my time always present but never here
faking all the movements and the smiles just to descend into fear
tracing fingers on your skin so akin to the life that i wanted steer
now im breaking trysts shaking fist i just wanted to be the only thing you needed
why is it a trip to ever think you could end up
grasping your loves hand amongst the dust
never giving in to let it rust
why do i do this to myself when i know what it wont
make sense to keep the peace
because you never wanted that from me
smoke signals around your head i should have noticed sooner
always oblivious to me the words i speak have never been truer
jealously consumes me even though i dont have a place to be angry
reveries still looming because what i want is not meant to be

Isolated Love
02:31
|
|||
|
i feel calm i feel collected
sip the poison with you while you protect me
skin covered in scars
blackened tattered clothess
blackened nights you light all up like stars and it burns to hold you close
sleepless nights just to hear you breathe
patience practiced but theres no need
were stuck in quarantine but theres no place that id rather be
isolated love
you give me peace despite your pain
isolated love
in my arms you will remain
