Before I was clear Before I was nothing Just four quarters of living I was rooted for love After Past the storm After In the morning Pass the sunshine To my toes We’re all dying Real slow Hiding All in hiding From our bodies and truth Worth it Was it all worth it One ruthless game to prove After Past the storm After In the morning Pass the sunshine To my toes We’re all dying Real slow Purpose Don’t you suppose It was all on purpose… That you chose to fill up the world in a garbage truck Oh we filled up the world in a plastic cup Oh we filled up the world, yeah we filled up the world on broken luck Oh we filled up the world, yeah we filled up the world And now we’re fucked Now I breathe in Now I am something Running From my nothing I’m already loving And the day has awoken

Knotty 03:45
Cut my hair Let it ring, answer machine We’re smiling Life in threes Structurally sound sound sound You untangle me When I’m knotty & tying ceilings to floors I couldn’t love you more Rub my tummy I want to be funny laughing Can’t stop laughing It’s happening Our magic is standing tall Patience please All must wait for dreams You untangle me When I’m knotty & tying ceilings to floors I couldn’t love you more

Rock n roll dream This scenes’s obscene Not black or white This town’s painted green What do you mean You’re hatching a scheme? Big bucks overnight And it sells on a screen How bout a bean stalk start now? Climb up to fight the come down A fantasy wasted all on a trick Don’t be a dick I wanted a rocknroll dream now Not a stroll down the internet stream now Here’s my heart on the line And not a picture to prove, your move Follow me up now baby The 1’s and the 0’s ain’t friendly Tick tok on the clock Before you’re benign Our days are timed Dopamine rush to victory Put your lust on the shelf and empty pockets of patience ripped from your jeans I could scream Stuck in four walls of mirrors Compare or don’t see clearer Your options aren’t slim But you’re stuck in your skin Just begin Voice of a generation Face to face celebration You choose to lose When you hide behind glass Don’t be an ass With no picture to prove I wanted a rocknroll dream now Not a stroll down the internet stream now Here’s my heart on the line And not a picture to prove, your move I wanted a rocknroll dream now Not a stroll down the internet stream now Here’s my heart on the line And not a picture to prove, your move

We are beginning our descent We are beginning our descent To liquid ground and steam Molecules firing off Didn’t pick em for my team Mama made me captain Momentum made the rules Space and time collide So pops could make someone else’s fool Dying got easier today I know it’s worth the wait Maybe window seats are my defeat I carry doomsday as pocket change I’m spilling out in stanzas I can’t but sing along Left the coast with colors in a song With my knowing in a song
