they say don’t get caught up in a storm when you don’t have a big enough boat
because if you get knocked off the waves out here will make sure you don’t float
but now I’m diving again with a friend that knows her way around
not looking to bury myself any deeper than the trench i just swam out of
you make me forget where I’m at and who i am
you make me forget it all
drinking your fluids like water
and watching them drip down your leg
thinking of how good you look against first light
glowing skin enveloped in rays
eyes crossed, tongue tied, and ready to receive
all the loving you been missing poured out onto me
back scratches sore muscles and out of breath too
all the loving I’ve been missing poured out onto you
keep your head up lil one its gonna be alright when it gets to the end
I’m not thinking about the things that you do because i know that you are heaven sent
addicted to the nectar that your body expels 8 glasses a day
I’m a conduit for all of the flow you release synapsis tingling as it passes through my brain

Lil' Sprout

lil sprout that tries to stand as tall as she can
but she didn’t know for sometime about the grandmaster plan
hours entail on a much larger scale you can never really get to bed at night
food going stale missing mail locked up in a room covered in bed bug bites
talking all that shit and I’m not about it
doesn’t mean to cause a raucous even when she’s filled with doubt
i can’t look you in the eyes or else i lose it
sinkholes in my mental plz just don’t abuse it
keeping pace with all of the pain it seems you don’t wanna fight it
I’m sorry if i instigated the seed that made you believe that i lost sight of us
its heady its tiresome and i just can’t get to bed at night
leaving a spell of this magnitude don’t think that i walked away out of spite

Palm Of Your Hand

started off so sweetly
something that i needed from the start
old wounds start secreting
and undo everything that we’ve worked so hard for
I’m plagued by demons with no sense of relief
and they’re trying to tell me that i do not need rest
they stay thru the seasons and everyday i believe them
to be true and honest
i don’t want you thinking any differently
its all in the palm of your hand now
so stand proud and don’t waste your time
digging thru all of the sand now
it can be just too quick
and will leave you forgotten and damned now
it can be just too quick
started off so sweetly
something that i needed from the start
all these actions keep repeating
but i know better and I’m not so stubborn
’I’m plagued by demons with no sense of relief
and they’re trying to tell me that i do not need rest
they stay thru the seasons and everyday i believe them
to be true and honest
i don’t want you to think any differently
its all in the palm of your hand now
so stand proud and don’t waste your time
digging thru all of the sand now
it can’t be just too quick
and will leave you forgotten and damned now
it can be just too quick

Lush Greenery

manifest what you see fit but
don’t accept how you felt or what it was because
you don’t need that weight
your strong your smart and you can do what you want
so don’t let a stupid young boy decide your fate
because its not worth it or deserving
you are in your own lane
and you can see the changes that you want to make
i wish i didn’t have things to deal with on the daily
but you’ll never understand why i always seem to feel crazy
swarms of lush greenery sweep the land
thats what ill remember when your angry and sad
pieces fall right into your lap
the puzzle doesn’t seem so hard when you’ve already started the task
sun beating down on the faces of 2 young ones
wildflowers blooming so fast
i can’t keep track
i can’t see the wave thats coming
i don’t see a need in frontin
things happen so fast that i can’t control it
don’t be disengaged because of emotions
i don’t feel its right to say the things you said
but i understand

my baby done left a hole in my heart that won’t stop surging currents out
but i can’t hold it together when i know how the cracks were caused
blankets that wrap around us like a swollen nerve
can’t seem to be what you want me to be or do what you want me to do
even when I’ve paid my debts in full, you seem to feel disturbed
i haven’t been talked in this way so
never even crossed my mind
never even crossed my mind
i just try to block them out like they
never even crossed my mind
never even crossed my mind
but that doesn’t mean always go away
dancing around on tip toes so i don’t wake a beast
sadly can’t seem to keep quiet even when i need to
checklist that my brain won’t stop going over when you’re sleeping
deep enough for something but too shallow to not feel defeated

Nothing Personal
04:20
|

theres a whole lot of controversy going on that i can’t abide by
stay out of the mix for awhile and you won’t wanna even be on the sidelines
stories upon stories you should be a damn journalist
i keep myself hidden taking simplified routes because i knew it would turn into this
gotta cut all of you off
nothing personal
gotta think clearly just for once this time
nothing personal
I’ve got a feeling theres a lot more out there
nothing personal
its not like if i stayed you’d really even care
floating amongst many grounded individuals
i can’t keep noticing the difference
they all tote the same expression and direction
but i don’t detect a hint of distinction

For Annie

to think i may have helped or been someone of deeper understanding
i got so excited running into joe on haight outside the club deluxe
not prepared to hear that last night you left us
gave me shelter during a tiresome time
all you asked for was a 6ixer and some chill vibes
a bed to rest my head and a smile that could ignite the smallest of brush
sitting here thinking how i could’ve convinced you not to make that push
showing me songs you wrote on a hand saw
bow in hand smirking mad while you gave me some sounds that were pure and raw
felt like you had a connection in which you had no flaws
annie don’t think ill forget the care and respect no matter how large or small it was

Goodbye California
05:34

Do you know what it feels like to wake up on the sand?
waves lining up at your feet like they extended a helping hand
i just can’t explain the way the air and sediment feel against my skin
its all I’ve ever known and anything else just seems so foreign
i take the 101 instead of the five on purpose because theres just so much beauty on the edge of these cliffs
you can drive for miles and miles and still be right next to the water
surrounded by forests that lead out to beaches the beauty can never falter
gonna miss all of you down here in the sunny oc
you do not understand how much you all encouraged me
late nights in santa ana really did change the way i felt about my music
gathered round with so many talented friends i hope you all keep pushing and never ever lose it
gonna miss my friends in the bay
id never thought id say but san fransisco became my home away from home
all these kids on the streets making making ends meat by way of their art because their hearts need cleansing
gonna miss all the ones I’ve ever loved sorry if i made it seems like it never was
sorry if i took apart of you away
it was never my intention and I’ve forgotten all the words that made mine and your heart break
so much love given back and forth
its a matter of myself not knowing my own self worth
its a matter of i can’t stop the things like my pops leaving earth
or thinking everything i do should be buried in the dirt
I’m gonna fix myself the best way i think i can
im gonna show you all someday a new and improved man
take these songs and try to heal
all the wounds I’ve bled out are for you to listen and feel
and with this i say farewell my friends
you’ve all become so important
but that doesn’t mean that i can stay
this place will break you down even if you pray
goodbye california
