Ether In The Orange

I was born in the ether in the orange
And I know that I was
Oh I believe the truth I see
I’m right on time
Oh you can say what you want and if you don't
Then you gave up your voice
You relinquished your choice
This is the chance the shot at romance
Where the roots shoot down and ideas jump off the ground
This is the earth this is life this is the city
Oh I was born in the ether in the orange
And I know that I was
And now I see the broken streams
In truth I don't believe
The roof was where I found you
The night is how I crowned you
Beneath the ground where I come from
I’ve been to every floor below you
Oh you can say what you want and if you don't
Then you gave up your voice
You relinquished your choice
This is all mine
It's too sublime
I can't believe it's time

What Now

I'm paralyzed trying to find a way to say to you
That all I'm doing all the time is thinking about you
It's you you you you you you you you you you you you you
But I know that the way to be is calm and keep my cool
So all that I can do is say what now?
I ask myself this question constantly
How do I keep myself from seeming like I'm so crazy?
We've only just begun but already I can see
That I could certainly be all for you if you're for me
So now what now?
What comes of this
Who can we be
When all else is gone
What do we see
I hope for you
I long for you
I yearn for you
To see me too
I pine for you
I'm oak for you
I woke for you
I'm
When news comes out that life is short I want you in my bed
You'll find a way to coax the sound of laughter through my dread
Too soon to make it serious and we can take our time
But right now it's flying too close to the ground so hear me whine
What now
You’re gonna nourish me and I’ll nourish you
Oh baby I just can’t believe it’s true

FOOLS!

Lately in the darkness I’ve been feeling velvet smooth
Holding all of these above me like I knew they could improve
Giving everything I wanted trying not to understand
Backing up and getting high I wanna see the promised land
I'm a weapon and a meister give me something I can swallow
Something to collect something to connect with
I'd like to populate to put upon a show
Devastating commentary devastating blows
Don't try it don't try it
That's my recommendation
BE WHAT YOU ARE
WHATEVER YOU MAY BE
WHY WONT YOU FALL
ENTER WHAT YOU CANT SEE
Devil may care devil may see devil not you devil not me
Try as we can we cannot be leaning backwards picking up the pieces never looking up for deep releases
No leases
Graining forward into fire Problem solver here for hire
Feel the work inside your spirit Daddy's not there you can hear it
Nothing’s wrong with bleeding crisis when we’re standing up suffices
Something to collect something to connect with
Let's take something out
On another person
Let's get some take out
On another person
When without a doubt
I'm a reckless person
Get rid of your doubt
Imma wreck this person
BE WHAT YOU ARE
WHATEVER YOU MAY BE
WHY WONT YOU FALL
ENTER WHAT YOU CANT SEE

Hide + Seek

You had your chance
And didn’t do anything
You asked for diamonds not a rock in your ring
Gentrifying mom look
Like it on your crackbook
They bought the votes
We didn't do anything
You’re sweating taxes, no dependents to claim
Wait a second don't look
Blood inside your mouth, hook
“Obviously now it's time to follow all the masters
Tragically how you've waxed and waned it was disaster
And it's inevitable that we would breathe the same stream backwards”
We’re not your mama we can't say anything
You got a bet and your lipstick on the king
Lookie here what he took
Gun aside the top crook
You signed a paper you can’t say anything
Drink whiskey sours in the dark while you sing
Help me not to get shook
Especially in the checkbook
“Obviously now it's time to follow all the masters
Tragically how you've waxed and waned it was disaster
And it's inevitable that we would breathe the same stream backwards”
If you don't seek you only seek to hide
With all my mind I pray you don't abide
I'm sure I'll lose, I never set aside
A nest of eggs wrong side of the divide
You hold my heart in fingers sharp as glass
If Id have known I surely would've passed
But now a stain as dead as middle class
Has cast a shadow killing all the grass
If you don't seek you only seek to hide
With all my mind I pray you're satisfied
I'm sure I'll lose, I never set aside
A nest of eggs wrong side of the divide

Like You

I can look into your eyes
And pour my heart like milk
Your kindness is a vessel
Holding me in walls of silk
I’m trying not to give into
I’m trying not to give in
I’m trying not to give into
I’m trying not to give in
But then you lay down my arms
And pay homage to my sins
Oh I want you
I want to take a chance and be open to
More wounds, I’m so bruised
Can’t forget and why would I want to
Love you, Like you
I’m afraid I might try to
Like you, love you I do
Right here in between your thighs
A truth flows out like rain
I’m lost at sea in empathy
In this waterfall in vain
I’m trying not to give into
I’m trying not to give in
I’m trying not to give into
I’m trying not to give in
But then you lay down my arms
And pay homage to my sins
Oh I want you
I want to take a chance and be open to
More wounds, I’m so bruised
Can’t forget and why would I want to
Love you, Like you
I’m afraid I might try to
Like you, love you I do

Worth

Dark of the night my eyes are swoll
The air around me stale and cold
I'm bursting buttons just to steel my soul
And conquer my strongest holds
Couldn't believe the things you done
I don’t feel like I have noone
But still I'm climbin back to one
With harder exterior
This isn't worth my time
I just wanted to be worth your time
My only problem was with y'all
Preaching forgiveness in a hateful drawl
Try to deny me what I want and love
I don't fear the reaper
Don’t fear the reaper
This isn't worth my time
I just wanted to be worth your time
And I know now all you wanna do is be safe at home
And I'm all for doing what you can to leave well enough alone
But we all deserve a safe home
And I know now all you wanna do is be safe at home
And I'm all for doing what you can to leave well enough alone
But we all deserve a safe home

On Home

Take a chance on the time you decided to go
Blame yourself for the good
Got a plan and a partner to crawl on the roof
Happy misunderstood
Not a dollar to spend on myself or my girl
Running clean on our pride
Clutching fists full of grass and some sinister grins
Twenty thousand feet wide
The pheromones are bleeding through the seams
They’re soaking up the fabric of our dreams
Blow down the bayou and come on home now
Come on home now
Gravestone retired baby come on home now
Come on home now
You’ve seen a lot of evil magnified by urge primeval
Carnage isn’t majesty stand down
Harsh reminders that life doesn’t default divine
Little stars in her eyes
Blameless crimes tend to pile pushing play and rewind
Sun goes black in the sky
A paradigm of anger in her prose
The devastation neither of you chose
Blow down the bayou and come on home now
Come on home now
Gravestone retired baby come on home now
Come on home now
You’ve seen a lot of evil magnified by urge primeval
Carnage isn’t majesty stand down
You’re the answer to the question
'Why do people need affection?'
Take some time to readjust
And know that time is changing everything
Blow down the bayou and come on home now
Come on home now
Gravestone retired baby come on home now
Come on home now
You’ve seen a lot of evil magnified by urge primeval
Carnage isn’t majesty stand down
