Eric Dutton RAVENCLAW Prod. by Serenade & Eric Dutton Are you beautiful? Are you? Money's tight so I'm diggin' for loose change This wage is like a stool and it's lettin' the noose hang It isn't black and white like a newspaper But I'm waiting for my paycheck that's hitting on Tuesday So I can breathe a sigh of relief This American dream a life that I'm just dying to see But I am asleep at the wheel, nah Real talk, it's tough, but we'll call it, tranquil where Neil walked My life is like a story that's untold It's cut throat, it's like corn fields to dust bowls Like locusts to crops, tryna focus but all- I ever get is a blank stare while I'ma hope that a god Up there maybe hears it and shines the light Upon the world like a stage, we are ride or die I might decide to maybe even find the time To write a line, sight the sights up and light the sky, like A meteor right on time, it crash landed The snow erupts, then it sizzles like antacid Take a hit and start floatin' like Mindfreak Magic in my pen and I'm just hopin' I might be Totally fine with the feeling of comin' down By the time that happens, I'm hittin' another round I'm spittin' so hunker down, bunker down hurry Cause the bombs are coming quick and every line is a flurry But I'm worried, cause everybody'll scurry And the world's finna burn and I dunno if we deserve it We've come this far in such little time Are we done with our recognition of inner rhymes Let me hit you with an AB AB Like maybe maybe we can stay free, take me, up To the heavens where I aim my sights And if I pray tonight, I may be right, so take my Light, if you need Cause I got light to spare And I'm right here, I ain't going anywhere I got light to spare I'm right here I ain't going anywhere, c'mon I got light to spare I got light to spare My love is in the air And my light is everywhere Can you feel it? Can you feel it Cause I got light to spare My love is in the air And my light is everywhere Can you feel it? Can you feel it Cause I got light to spare And when your day turns night And you need some light, I gotchu I gotchu I gotchu Cause I'ma keep being me That wasn't even a hook That was just me doing something, look I'm not shook I'm not steady I'm not ready I'm hot headed I got nothing in my mind I'm just going line at a time Till I switch gears, this here's the madness Turn that volume up until your ears can't handle it A moshpit in my head, I can't stand it A meteor right on time, it crash landed Wait a minute, this some deja vu Might take a nap just to reset, and wait y'all through Cause y'all a red light, head's like, pen, mic blam Ink stains, think tank, inside, man I'd give it all just to breathe again And when you need an end, betchu I'ma see the end There I go spittin' that heat again I literally can't stop it, I wish that my evil twin Had some time on his hands cause I'm just going insane I was showed the ropes once, please show me again Don't hope for refrain, I can't go through it again This is my one shot for my musical-ness I'm true when I spit, I'm used to just missing I spew what I think and no my ink isn't you So much distance to do, to travel and such I'm sorry Fate, I'm a lot, try balancing us I'm damaged for once, I feel fixable, trust I feel like time is on my side when I'm hittin' a blunt Try giving a -ugh-, it feels nice dude Don't let your heart freeze over, ice cube I told you that wasn't a hook Serenade on the beat, so I'ma let it play Cause I got light to spare And I'm right here, I ain't going anywhere I got light to spare I'm right here I ain't going anywhere, c'mon I got light to spare I got light to spare My love is in the air And my light is everywhere Can you feel it? Can you feel it Cause I got light to spare My love is in the air And my light is everywhere Can you feel it? Can you feel it Cause I got light to spare And when your day turns night And you need some light, I gotchu I gotchu I gotchu Cause I'ma keep being me

Echo Gentle 04:16
Eric Dutton ECHO GENTLE Prod. by Serenade & Eric Dutton Hidden meanings in the dead of night Draw a bullseye around 'em, maybe shed some light Sativa for breakfast, my head is high I missed the part where that's my problem, let 'em by Nevermind the fact, that I've down and back I've been around the fact, I keep my sound intact It's like the essence of my soul Leaving me a blessing every where I ever go And heaven knows that every star is burning bright tonight so You wanna turn me off, sure and I'm the psycho Canvas an orchestra, I am the maestro I'm so glad that I'm able to write home Idealistic when I'm twisting a lightbulb My only shot and I'm swishing like Michael No typo, I said I was Michael Gambling my future on the heat of an ice cube But zoom it back, ooh, freeze is unlike you Bleeding insightful, and I peace when I pipe, dude Full of love, you got Venus inside you A delicate balance like my feet on a tightrope, so Give me back all the strength That I had managed to take When I was challenged to break Every habit I made that would lead me to ruin You don't believe me, I knew it I was seeing me through it At every chance I would cave Now I'm spelunking in the rubble, the memories fade But underneath it, I can hear a faint melody play And it's tellin' me that everything is gon' be okay Like a wildflower blooming, I'm finding a way I hear that echo fading gently into the night sky It makes me wanna cry My tear drops fall they turn to ice That light so cold It's taking me home Ah, ah... Got tunes in my mind and the moon to my right I'ma use it tonight to bring the music alive I'm harkening back to the Harvest days Where feeling good and recording this was all the same Serenade on the beat until it's lullaby I'ma hush you, I think you're sleeping on me when you go and shut your eyes Unless you're counting the goat in your headphones Best know, don't get smoked, you thinkin' of another guy When I get up and write, feeling like I'm something nice This is my anthem, reminding you for the hundredth time So why do we keep on debating I'm a star, sure thing, like a constellation Y'all can stay so non-ovation An alchemist turning gold, I got alteration Maxed out, if you excuse the Mad man Got the fuel in my soul poured into a gas can And over the past cause it's too heavy to carry The bonds we had, but now I'm ready to bury Every skeleton dangling in my closet for years, you Gaslit me, now I'm seeing eons in my rearview Hold up, put that thing in neutral Do you really love her? Is she worth your future I don't know, yes and no, best to go Irreparable damage and heaven knows, I would sever woes If I could, cast it out in the night Leave my scars untouched when I'm down, but it's fine It's the soft snow under us Don't look now, but here it comes, that'll get you thunderstruck I would've engaged my number one But at warp speed, you torpedoed any luck with us You rose while I sank below Now I'm the whole damn bouquet, thank you though I hear that echo fading gently into the night sky It makes me wanna cry My tear drops fall they turn to ice That light so cold It's taking me home Ah, ah...

MAT DEMAZ) Prod. by Mat Demaz I'm activated, just the way it'll be On my blackest days, I'ma say that I'll see When the matters weigh on my mind I haven't changed in the slightest And I collaborate with out of body decapitation Cause the day that I meet my maker I'ma lose my head I choose life, death can calibrate again Fabricate the pen, fake encapsulates the wish Till I pass away, the passion fades I ascertain the wind I saturate this laceration, cut and wash away the skin Injection, cancer patient, the answers waiting at the end Living in the margins like some annotation ink Smooth it over like lamination, I can't be swayed again Atlas shoulders when I lift the world, my back is placed against The train of thought keeps chugging and my track's been raging since Yeah and that's the way it is You'll gather that I missed My moonshot, it's too hot, a matchbook when it's lit When I see through your disguise It's always in that crimson ice Too many years I spent in my lies I see right through me and my mind When I see through your disguise It's always in that crimson ice Too many years I spent in my lies I see right through me and my mind Going back to basics, I saw Europa tonight Binoculars lifted to my eyes... show me the light This that 2012 vibe, bottled lightning So much hope of what tomorrow might bring Thirteen reasons, Apollo frightening Blow the side off this awful timing I'm ready to gather my strength Steady and habits to break Giving myself proper chances to take My life back, getting my talents to make me Happy here Ah fiddlesticks, but I can't be feared I'ma wipe these tears, dab the blood and stand up Rock this mic, put your hands up Put the joint in your mouth and your lighters up Your flames are fire and I'm fightin' tough Dad, I'm top three when I come forth That core of the sun in your son's core That nuclear, that uproar The truth is here and I'm done for So nice try to the demons yo My inner strength unbelievable My pen is great and it leads me through These obstacles I need to do Keep my light when I'm stamped down That Void above so blacked out Save me, that man's a no show Dear Lord, that man's a no show But Dad, I won't go... I'll turn gold, Cagliostro When I see through your disguise It's always in that crimson ice Too many years I spent in my lies I see right through me and my mind When I see through your disguise It's always in that crimson ice Too many years I spent in my lies I see right through me and my mind

Gaia 02:28
Eric Dutton GAIA Prod. by Eric Dutton See ya track, ya back at it again I like my padded friend Whispers where, where the galaxy spins We wanted all the land Planted down in my ring of life Taken apart by night so bright In the end we spun near this quasar But you cant see the light Tip me over, pour me out I wanna be on the ground And then listen to the trees As the leaves all around us Heaven has found us Heaven has found us We hope that we make you proud Came from the dirt, angels are hurt Maybe we're sure but lately the world is lost Pick apart every iteration Misinterpretation won't happen on my watch Anxious, my bare wrists, I'm failing I'm barely holding on, but I'll soldier on I'll grow the tallest Give POV when your hope is lost Stay strapped in like overalls Ceiling bust when I hit my head Seeing stars I don't recall Blue sky, faint moon, huge grin, light soul Who's this, take two, my whole angle Is peace and precision He's the reason I'm living We shiftin' the frame of reference Aim direction and make assessments Pave the way for the timeline prime Cause I'm one with myself, let my light shine Tip me over, pour me out I wanna be on the ground And then listen to the trees As the leaves all around us Heaven has found us Heaven has found us We hope that we make you proud Came from the dirt, angels are hurt Maybe we're sure but lately the world is lost We don't know We're so far away

Eric Dutton GLASS LAKE Prod. by Eric Dutton Glass lake and it's frozen in the wintertime Have faith that I'm hopin' it'll bring the light And when the night-time falls And I'm trying to see it all Trying to see the stars Can't take that from me, leave empty handed I'm under the understanding we took command of our ships In the night destined for different waters My shore just has all the quicksand I trudge going inland Heavy winds, they whip fast Sudden changes, it's whiplash Get back, under strain and I pen grab Grab hold the reigns and we stabilize Blue ocean angel eyes Don't drown in the whites of the space and time I can't decide, I yearn to fly Even through a blizzard I can burn the sky, I When the night-time falls And I'm trying to see it all Trying to see the stars I'm never too far, never too far Glass lake and it's frozen in the wintertime Have faith that I'm hopin' it'll bring the light And when the night-time falls And I'm trying to see it all Trying to see the stars I've been stuck frozen in the wooden jailhouse So what do I do now? Ice shinks hang above the door And I've counted the cracks in the floors It's blistering cold Wishing for parole Waiting for sunrise Oh, a beautiful surprise with a change in the skies Man, it would be nice To take a long trip Coffee with a strong kick I look out the window and see a strong mist Man, I'm so tired of this shhhhh You hear that Maybe it's the wind It's been a while, I just wanna see you smile again Another ten thousand miles so far from where I've been I know there's light up there I've seen it before the storm Oh, before the storm I feel like I've found it I feel like I've found it

Heart & Soul 02:50
Eric Dutton HEART AND SOUL Prod. by Intergalactic Rockstar Somber with the attitude Fallen in a habit too deep Got it after you Creeped, thought I had to do it Bought a pad and used it Sought a faster future With the chance in music Scribble every little line Penning every inner rhyme Sending out to space a voice that echoes back and it shines It's telling me I can fly It's letting me know the way I'm feeling so out of bounds I'm giving it all that it takes You're telling me that I'm bright I thought it was just the fade Telling you my secrets The confidence went away, I need to get smart The cone of silence draped around our heads, I see the end all Be all of our high-rated mistakes You tried placing the blame Tonight, making the change I'm breaking outta this cage I'm healing from all the pain I'm feeling what got away However long that it takes, I'm owning to my mistakes I'm hoping to wipe the slate The smoke is a fire away How dire the straights The tire inflates The gun's loaded and it's simultaneous bang That snowfall quiet in the cold of night Covering my tracks that I hope to find Maybe spinnin' in your system, my disc is tossin With the thoughts and sounds of my mental moshpit Better get the coffin and it's best to hop in Cause I'm attackin' this beat like my heart is throbbing Wait, no, my heart is stopping It's written in the cards and the stars, it's all just So harsh, the knowledge, of my natural death The question is, will I pass the test The answer's yes... The rain makes me contemplative Like why the hell can't I go all the way It's not the shame, it's not the pain I've fought before and won the games But lately Ls, I'm a stone at the bottom Falling so much that I might go in the autumn Overloading the process, the grief is slicing me up My belief is drying me up Me alive is like sandpaper Panic stricken my hand's shaking My chest hurts and I stand pacing Around my room I just can't take it ---- this, I'm gonna go Hey dad, I'm coming home No friends to let this out to Down bad and drag me under How I wish I could clap this thunder But I'm choked by my own hand Just a nomad with no plan I really wanna -- Lay down and ---- Cause I'm really not a fan of this Existence, I really can't handle it, I'm out But what if I'm back What if this fate ---- That's just how it goes You see me orbiting this north pole Aurora borealis in my very soul, c'mon

Eric Dutton THE DREAM 2023 Prod. by Mat Demaz I guess folding was the wrong move Depression in spades, and it isn't my strong suit My heart is like a diamond getting clubbed to death It's such a mess, all you see till there's nothing left Is the blood spatter the floors, the tears just as quick A thick slice to the vein, make way for indecision A decade in the making, the dream is so persistent That even when I wake it's like it's making me wish that I had taken my writtens and traveled the globe Oh wait, I did that, and still my pad didn't blow My mom and dad finna know they ain't raise a quitter From starshot to moonshot, I aim the dipper My face is lit up from the light of the sun My soul is like a rocket and I fire it up I'm dying to bust through and out into space And take a deep long breath, put a grin on my face, I be I'm dreaming still After all this time It's making me feel like the waves on the shore I'm leaving here After all this time I swear there's no quit in me Pick a star, doesn't matter, I'ma reach that thing Going under like Atlantis with them Richat rings Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, what a bar Bang like I was Curry, got my under armor Thunder harder, run the score up, I beat the snare Dance to my own drums and meet you there But please beware that I can leave in a second Believe in the separate ways, that this journey could take us Hurry, but wait up, am I worthy of this love Down in the dirt, see these words that I pick up They're just as downtrodden as me How awful to see how loud y'all can just be This was a moment of silence and that disrespect Can take you anywhere you want but I'ma hop into bed While you stay sleep, don't wake me, I'm dreaming the life I could do this in my zzz's, shh, deep in the night, I be I'm dreaming still After all this time It's making me feel like the waves on the shore I'm leaving here After all this time I swear there's no quit in me... Wish I could choose to be happy It's so elusive and can't he just maybe loosen the sadness And use it as strength, it's time to pick up the pen Round fifty-one with my demons, I'ma enter again Close the ring off, it's cage-match, death toll I'm about to pop off, making these heads roll Best know, I'll give it my best go Till I said whoa, it's Eric Dutton, I guess so I'm letting it go because I can't hold on To that same feeling within me when I made that song I was, full of hurt, pride, hope, and light I told you I thought that I was destined for greatness 18 years old, and never could wait But never will make it, but the dream remains Inside burning like a flame eternal Now I'm levitating over all these crazy hurdles I'm just makin' sure that I can save the world Or should I keep dreaming I'm dreaming still After all this time It's making me feel like the waves on the shore I'm leaving here After all this time I swear there's no quit in me I'm dreaming still And I hope it never fades No, I hope it never fades

Eric Dutton EXIT STRATEGY Prod. by Mat Demaz Disappointed, but my pen explodes With the ink and glow when I sit and throw this Ish at a wall, thinking it can grow into all of my dreams But then I wish for more And I figure that my time is expired No more rhymes lift me higher The fire inside extinguished, this the ride of my life Every page given meaning when I try to be kind To others and to myself, I fail on the latter Going off the edge like the rails didn't matter Every step I take, every breath I make Every mistake I end up not forgiving myself for Another wedge lodged in between my loved ones and I Lightning in the clouds brings the thunder alive A little child inside, because I run and I hide But this my Anthem, listen for the hundredth time, like That thunderstorm is in my soul Same schemes, same brain, same weed, same pain Pray trees make faith take me freight train Wait, see, same breeze, shake leaves, hang me From the top of the totem, the podium sittin' angry Cause I'm cold with the polls, frozen and waiting to vote Like the Republican majority will dangle the rope And the Democrats'll smile, we remain in the scope Forever this two party, it's a dangerous road But I diverge from it, and now my words plummet Cause now I spurn summits, cause then I'd sure tunnel My vision to the bottom of the every rocky descent I mean I ain't pulling my punches, I got Rocky intent Frozen flows so cold it's like the Rockies ascent But I ain't buying what they sellin', I'ma cop to my sins I hope it wipes my slate clean I need that to gleam Is this the way Is this the way Is this the way to get this weight off my shoulders Is this the way I've been lost inside my mind I've been giving it all this time Still can't see where my light shine I guess my faith is that it's hitting at the right time I don't think I wanna fade out Heart stolen, a bandit how we made out In the middle snuff the flame out I was sinking then but now I'm feeling weighed down

Eric Dutton PEACE PIPE RIP Prod. by Eric Dutton Peace pipe rip You were good to me Peace pipe rip You were good to me Peace pipe rip You were good to me Peace pipe rip You, you, you Back from the dead Like glass in the head You and I both shattered When we thought immortal Lost and found in the pouring rain That automotive turnaround Giving us a second chance I would've chalked it up to happenstance Discord coming in like a battering ram Knocking down your doors I hope you're letting me in Never letting you in again Never letting you in again Never letting you in again, no I was lost in the maze of my mind Unable to find my way now I'm payin' the price No angel divine, no lady in white Just the haze of the shade when I bake in the light Of the same sun, it's dangerous It made us, and we aim for the sky I'm anxious, and I pray that it's fine But I ain't gonna lie, please save us Knocking down your doors I hope you're letting me in Never letting you in again Never letting you in again Never letting you in again, no I never meant to make you cry I never meant to hurt you darling You made me say goodbye And now my heart is shattered Around us In tiny broken pieces on the floor .... what is it all for

Mind high when I'm spitting these schemes Smoking this weed is like fighting the Hulk If I'm hoping to beat him, I'm hittin' the green I don't wanna split at the seams But I guess everyone has something that they get to believe So when I listen to leaves fallin' every autumn Callin' out to the breeze I'm feeling sick with all the waves I kinda wish I would heave Strap an anchor to my ankle, hoppin' into the sea, like I landed on my back This water takes me back To when I would look up and see the stars Life has got it all Take me for a spin Take me right around again I don't know where I'ma go as long as you're here I know I'm gone I'm so gone I'm so gone Yeah, I'm so gone You'll never find me here The sharp chill stabbed me As the gusts swept through my layers and into my bones I hurried as much as I could against the torrent of icy winds I just wanted to go home I was so cold

Eric Dutton COLD SNAP Prod. by Mat Demaz Cold weather can't put out the fire inside The same way I'm alive after trying to die It'll happen when it happens, I guess I was quizzical, now I be passing the test I'm invincible, how do I answer this best Oh yeah, I'm down to just cancel the debt Cancel the stress, demanding respect Uh huh, stay classy, got your hand in your vest Got your pinky out when you spillin' tea There's no secrets here, there is no mystery The past, our history's too heavy to take Guess I'll work it out, now I've developed a taste For eating beats, blood stained, remember this face Ice cold, that's December in fate Double negative when you pretend to be fake And that's real, low like minimum wage Getting stiffer with age, hate when I bend and I break When the rain comes pouring down And the flood is all around us We tried to make it out alive And now we see the light At the edge of the night Maybe we just ran outta time And the shimmer that's in your eyes Sends shivers down my spine Black hoodie, black sweats, Hood up, head down, pocketed hands, yep I apologize like rocketing man up To set foot on the moon but caught with his damn Pants down, that's how we can't sweat it fa'sho And wow - look at that, I'm finally lettin' it go And my face, I know, man, it never would show That when push comes to shove it's so pathetic I froze Heaven can go shove it, hell can get up too I'm livin' a nightmare here on earth but when the reaper wants you He makes hell come to you and makes heaven retreat "You're welcome" he taunts, you say you're never gettin' me And now my back is to the wall again, do or die time No suicide lines, just a sprint to the finish Cause I be itching to win it And when this winter is ended I'ma get rid of this penance And let this truer light shine When the rain comes pouring down And the flood is all around us We tried to make it out alive And now we see the light At the edge of the night Maybe we just ran outta time And the shimmer that's in your eyes Sends shivers down my spine

Eric Dutton MOONSHOT, PT. 2 Prod. by Mat Demaz Additional vocals by Roxie BG The trees make for an ocean of green A brief reprieve into red and gold as far as the eye can see They shake off the chill and wait for the spring I too spend my winters waiting, looking up My breath fogging the sky But the light from the stars above Just as alive as we are Just as alive as I am And just as the trees flourish as the days get longer I too will do the same Only this time, my sights are set a little bit further Indecisive, the wind is wild, in the thick of silence I miss the times where my grin was wider than the valley I was living life in I feel enticed to feel like a child again With the snow falling down slow And the night was calm and quiet on us And now look at where the time has brought us My heart just might be stopping But in either case let's fight the process Like swinging at Hinkie, think he's Going to trade for diddley squat Consider cash in the pot I'm alien like Ridley Scott But the earth is tantalizing Green and blue and I can't survive it Take my hand if you dance with time and Swing it around and pass it by with a smile Haven't changed in a while Haven't made it a mile in my own shoes That's my fault for choosing a cold route From 1994 that's old news I'll have none of that, bone bruise Triple trap that I go through If you didn't ask, well I told you, this my moonshot Take it back to the basics Look all the space on the page when I look up In the chilly winter air Ah, my moonshot I can feel it really near Ah, my moonshot Funny thing is I never said which moon I'm shooting for Europa, Ganymede? Charon? No Lucifer No Hades, no orbit too scary Just holding it steady And now my aim is so forward, I'm ready Hoping to levy myself from the bottom rocky with it Run your mouth, I'ma sock 'em in it You want the smoke but you will not come get it Praying for my downfall, looking autumn with it I need a shot of vision, a lot of ink and a thousand pages Just to see if I've found the space enough to graffiti the space wall Nebula spray paint And my logo's displayed tall Blink and you'll miss it Recreation of life in the same way that I bless y'all Make way for the harmony already inside In the chilly winter air Ah, my moonshot I can feel it really near Ah, my moonshot There was once a time where I could look into your eyes and see the world Never once did we question the adventure Never once did we doubt the blood pumping through our veins There was a moment where, for the life of us, we couldn't explain it We both knew we felt the same thing at the same time The maze suddenly opened up and there was but one path And to follow it meant certain death But I was with you, and it was worth it This is where I leave you

Eric Dutton LOVE FOR ME Prod. by Serenade The blood moon hangs in the balance As it pumps itself across the sky And the Universe is telling me something Like my soul is a lightning strike Don't phase me out Y'all need a rocket just to take me down Need a ladder to climb to the constellation That I reside in, but the hours waning May fall displacing every notion you had of me You could never break a bone in my anatomy Cause you are not my bro, I'm a top five goat Cause in the end, the Universe has love for me I'm discovering what's underneath my feet It's the dirt that we came from And you remember what I said about the same sun The same sun Outpaced in the fast lane Now take all my energy, about face Cause I can't chase whatever last place finish I've been eyeing I ain't lying, I'm trying to be better Manifest it and see weather so bright and warm like I am home And time awards me with solid state Driving hard till I fall in place With arms around me that snug Heart is pounding I trust What an understatement, Hair growing like Rapunzel waiting To climb down from the top of this manic high Felt half alive, how I'm bound to die Now I'm bound to fly Talking my sh- and without a lie I can't deny I'll rap till I'm satisfied in this life And even then prolly never stop Got a heaven spot Inspired but never force it Take time if I'm looking forward Take this is as a warning... ... I'm feeling like I'm heaven sent Even with my blemishes You're wrapping me up like my meat around my skeleton I'ma revel in, such divinity, I manifested I can't expression It's passion letting loose Dancing on the roof Tracing back the beat Making sure it tracks Train of thoughts run deep In my blood, waiting for the wrath Brain is still intact, waging battles fast Disparate means to an end just means we witness the attack And these demons drop Beneath the swamp Release my arm Between the fog I believe in god To redeem my faults Cause holy water might besiege my heart Receive that aura It's like smoke surrounding me, Cheech and Chong But the weed ain't all I got to me now The sun is shining now, Ravenclaw colors Nature's all wonder, thanking our mother Made us fall up and the sky would pull us in With incidental sin, get us spinning and thinking Just when it ends it begins again And really it's just whistles in the wind When the breeze begins to blow and the leaves begin to sing It's interesting to note that the Yo, this is Ravenclaw Serenade on the beat Eric Dutton on the track The blood moon hangs in the balance As it pumps itself across the sky And the Universe is telling me something Like my soul is a lightning strike Don't phase me out Y'all need a rocket just to take me down Need a ladder to climb to the constellation That I reside in, but the hours waning May fall displacing every notion you had of me You could never break a bone in my anatomy Cause you are not my bro, I'm a top five goat Cause in the end, the Universe has love for me I'm discovering what's underneath my feet It's the dirt that we came from And you remember what I said about the same sun The same sun [Instrumental] Meow
