I'm just finding my way to calm down
I'm just finding my way to calm down
I'm just finding my way to calm down
I'm just finding my way to calm down
I'm just finding my way to calm down
I'm just finding my way to calm down, yeah
'Cause I won't live in a world undercover
I'm just finding my way to calm down
I'm just finding my way to calm down
Finding my way to calm down
Living in a world undercover

You is the puppet
I am the master
'til I wrapped myself in plaster
don't you tell me how to act sir
I don't got no feelings man,
I'm good without the rapture
try to capture
the afterlife of death
is inevitable
so live your life full
don't take no for an answer fosho
And if you try to stop me
I'll tell you right now
it's the negatives you see we
gotta look where we agree
Don't you plant your seed in me
Cause I can take the beating see
You don't know how to read me, b
Why don't you just let us be
The change for the future me
Appreciate the scenery
I thought this was the energy
of a thousand volts of
the agression that's repeatedly
taken by you personally
You gotta take it slow like a house sparrow
But you ill poppin' pills, to the hills like it fullfills
Yeah
Don't fret
I get it
I say
There's no time to play
blegh
Play
No time
there's no time
there's no time
no time
there's no time
no time to play
there's no time
no time to play

I can't tell the difference between
technique or just speech I
can't upkeep and I don't fucking sleep
I don't feel weak to be a goddamn freak
And I keep saying that I'll win in the end
With the fire that I spit, I know it's a dead end
Try to stand for what no one demands
I got so many plans and it's just quicksand and it's
just too bland and it's
tryna withstand and it's
all caught jammed and it's
a mistake it's all my fault it's pretend
what I make is pretentious
it's all fake all the tenseness
Defenseless, horrendous, let's just condemn this
That's the consensus
The monotany's relentless
A minute's just a minute unless I take advantage
I guess that's kind of just all that this rant is
But I gotta face it
'Cause it won't erase it
Goes on for days it
Gets in the way it
It's just bullshit
It's all bullshit
"I", said the bull
"because I can pull"
but I can't pull myself out of my own mind, it's full
Overthink the most basic human functions
Everyone else has but doesn't have to hub them, I sail among them
I should take a break from the hibernative state
But I haven't yet created a single thing that's not jaded
Something has blockaded, and I cannot persuade it
I say I'm innovative, but what's latest is degrading
Of my soul and my passion for the shock reaction
of what's not musical in a musical action
Michael Jackson had it in his grasp and
I'm nowhere near there, it's far in the past when
we thought that the future would be chrome
but it's rusted in home, and I'll just order my usual
'Cause that that's familiar is what we call beautiful
sadness and anger and fear is reusable
stay on task don't flop like cast of
Head of the Class that's what they broadcast 'cause
Change is to be feared and evolution is a sin
And that's what they be tellin' us on Fox News as we sit
on our asses to be told not to be bold
don't cry gotta hold emotions and grow old
but I don't wanna grow mold and let my life fold
itself on itself 'til the twelfth of year
the month that people use to put off their usefulness
they use it as an excuse and write their resolutions and
Don't ever fulfill 'em after January comes, it goes
and so do the owes and it just shows
we look back at the times we rose and then use those
to make ourselves validated, yeah we just exaggerate it
make it so complicated to impress those who are stuck and hated
But they're probably the only ones truthful
and I'm honestly after that persual of
golden bliss in the wind of sentience
that fucking renewal, this is my artistic repentance

Between the time
When I am awake
The feelings inside
Don't know if they're fake
Oh
A calmer place
A stream of surprise
With proper things aligned
I can create
Something new
Ooh
Take my soul away
To a numb-like grace
Fidget with the balance and I bring my mind in closer
Fill the void with numbers and a prophetic composure and
I
Comply
And I
Will fly
Away
From this
Today
It dies
Between the time
When I am awake
The feelings inside
I'm sure they're not fake

Session getting hotter
Fuck you up like Harry Potter
Yeah the magic just evolves
As your patience quickly dissolves
And I can't explain the pain
When you imagine more than rain
But the only thing that stays is repetitive haze
And your brain is immobile
We are so immobile
We are so immobile
We are so immobile
We are so immobile
We are so immobile
Yes, there were mechanical days
And I went through a phase:
Stories more sporadic
But the sound was still so static
Met a crazy guy who could
change the color of his eye
But the black magick, he ditched
He told me to turn on the switch
Turn on the switch
Yeah
Turn on the switch
There is no limit to your mind
Mind
We are so immobile
Immobile

The preceding machine retracts without coffee
Grasping the groove in a way we don't all see
I spit on this mic with high levels of ferocity
Syncopate the elevator; no it's not faulty
Pseudo prototype, the track's already ripe
Who knows how hard the beat drops in the middle of the night?
Sleepy spectre, it's the rhythm we snipe
It's May and like Spring, we're about to take flight
The project launches little
But it's droppin' bombs that sizzle - and I
Can't see days without bits of haze 'cause if I
Don't move forward but I'm a bitch; I'm lazy
Got a lot to do, but it's not enough
If anything gets done, it's got to be rough
The burden of doing things word for word
The disorder comprehends an infective curve
Things are moving like water down a river
I don't know what's about to occur
The future is a mystery, yesterday is history
The present is a quick motion blur
I don't know what happened
A flashback to math class: I'm graphin'
It's unimportant crap and
Drop that ass fast, cause I passed; I'm laughin'
I've come this far, I'm rollin' like a car
Everything's a breeze, don't let my brain freeze
Incoherent smite, man, I don't know what I'm writin'
The words come like snow, it's so slow I'm fightin'
Summer is soon, it's about to bloom
Get a couple more fucking people in this room
Inspirations hangin' like aprons
They're everywhere and nowhere, I don't know where my pace lands
The river only flows there: the uninspired wastelands
Brains dryer than Cali, thoughts washed away like beach sands
Impeach famine and eat salmon and stop slammin'
just fire your own cannon, I'm a candidate for examinin'; I don't know what I'm standin' in, all because all because
Things are moving like water down a river
I don't know what's about to occur
Things are moving like water down a river
I don't know what's about to occur
Things are moving like water down a river
I don't know what's about to occur
Things are moving like water down a river
I don't know what's about to occur
Things are moving like water down a river
I don't know what's about to occur
Things are moving like water down a river
I don't know what's about to occur
The future is a mystery, yesterday is history
The present is a quick motion blur, blur, blur

Blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur, blur
I'm stuck in this bed you made
Alone with a sinking feeling
I saw through the words you said
To the secrets you've been keeping
It's written upon your face
All the lies how they cut so deeply
You can't get enough you take
And take and take and never say
No, you've gotta get it inside
You push it back down
You push it back down
No, you'll never get it inside
Push it back down black out blood in your eye
You say that it's not your fault
You've gotta get it inside
You push it back down
You push it back down
No, you'll never get it inside
You push it back down
You push it back down
No, you've gotta get it inside
You push it back down
You push it back down
No, you'll never get it inside
You push it back down
Blackout blood in your eye
Floating down, as colors fill the light
And floating up you pass us in the night
A future gazing out a past to overwrite
So come down far below
We've been waiting to collect the things you know
Come down far below
We've been waiting to collect what you've let go
So come down
Come down
Come down
Come down
Come down
Come down

I had a way then the queen has been overthrown
I had a heart then, the lyrics that I said there go here
And I'm not sleeping now, the dark is too hard to beat
And I'm not keeping now the strength I need to push me
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone
Calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when they're alone home
Voices I play within my head (yeah, hee)
Touch my own skin and hope that I'm still breathing
And I remember when my brother and my sister slept
In an unknown place the only time I feel safe
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone
'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone home
Oh
Yeah, hee
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone
'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone home
Home, home
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights
Home, home
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights
Home, home
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights
Home, home
Light, lights, lights, lights
Light, lights, lights, lights

Relief floods in here and now
can't tell what it's all about
feels like breeze on the ocean
I needed all a long
I feel like I'm flying
I feel like I'm flying
Soaring all through the sky
I feel like I'm flying
so many questions unanswered
like interpreting dancers
and sometimes I can't take it
feel like I gotta fake it
to move on from the hearbreak
I need to sit and just create
a world where I'm flowing
and I know where I'm going
but I'm swirling around
lost, hoping to be found
no, I'm not too smart, but I don't want a new start
I wanna stick close, man, give me that glue
I never wanna drift too far from you
Feel like I'm flying, going right off the road
another bombtrack, fuck it, I can't wait to be sold
Is this shit worth keeping if I sew what I'm reeping?
I just hope that I find reason and some way for me to break even
even in these wild times
I still soar on through and by
Nothing can stop my flight
through it all I held my fight
I feel like I'm flying
I feel like I'm flying
Soaring all through the sky
I feel like I'm flying
yeah, get fly, like the opposite of fallen
lifted in the cockpit, pocket full of pollen
he gets high with the chronic and a walkman
oldschool, sipping gin and tonic with your mom's friends
I lift off, 8 miles straight up
left em all earthbound, like hold on wait up
the mouth's open, but mind stays shut
and if you're sick being fed up say what
what the hell's in my drink, friend
smells like the end and it tastes like extinction
I avoid all the pitfalls and quicksand
only one way you're gonna measure my wingspan
from the ground, boy, looking skyward
like my word, motherfucker, that's a fly bird
but life's all ups and downs like a sine curve
even Superman spent some time in the iceburg
yeah, so ima dive head-first
we can let God decide who arrives dead first
then send me off in a bright red hearse
better throw a big party we can sing these words
I feel like I'm flying
I feel like I'm flying
Soaring all through the sky
I feel like I'm flying
I feel like I'm flying (Oh)
I feel like I'm flying (Oh)
Soaring all through the sky (Oh)
I feel like I'm flying (Oh)
I feel (Oh)
