Drawn to what could have been instead of could be happy go lucky slash ugly, judge me flowing rain channeled down from clouds above me waiting for the hand of time to touch me I aint the same since I reached puberty Im 29 every day I wake the world's new to me beautiful or brutally, suitably or fruitfully the sun blinds my eyes and I just killed the man I used to be Again.. I ain't doing this for them.. nah I'm doing this for them and me, yeah I'm selfish Raised inside of paradise and turned it to a hell pit butterflies to parasites and tree's to ash can't help it walked through fire til that paradigm had melted, music was my summertime through sour times I felt it and Im feeling it still, the ability to bleeds my appeal and if that's not for you then you ain't needing to heal So go back to what you're feeling is real ain't braggadocious got nothing to boast about rather burn my demons than MCs when I'm open mouthed Writing cos I need to do it, found a niche, my mind a leash releasing when I free the fluid, build a ship to flee the ruins capsized when I was baptized in seas that I was cruising quit jobs if interfered with writing process but then I chose powders, whiskey showers for fighting progress saloon martyr lost his June Carter, threw away those life given goods that few barter When it rains in slow lanes we move faster the ones who swaps the worlds greenest grass for new pastures this boundary crippled world is too small for what we after so all those things your feeling are real, through tears and laughter Sentimental to a fault field of vision mostly sepia, tears leaking out the vault, heart bleeding by default, but filled with too much hope to recieve the fate Im sold

Verse 1: Butterflies and roaches, heavy eyes close when the lullaby approaches, comatose on a bed of roses needs to make a move before the gate to heaven closes at half 9, gives him plenty notice vagabondage, been around the chopping block that roof of your family home his coffin top picket fence sitting, lens clicking, popping off and his work here ain't done so he's clocking off Tattooed with the images he sees pays the toll while they're living just to breathe drifting with the breeze, getting stricken to his knees by the vivid apparitions in the pictures that he bleeds On the right path even though he meant to turn left back to class, proud parent's start to turn stressed out of school, get a grip so you can earn checks Ain't a problem child, shit, just ain't ready to learn yet Verse 2: and its a desolate path on his road less travelled through a landscape that can't be seen with a narrowed view tame him he will run, let him be he'll wanna marry you he falls in love too easy and falls out without a parachute The kid has imagination, guess he must have taken psychedelic drugs their only explanation, in a room where the paint forever dries, defacing the crude etchings on the wall, heaven lies adjacent Riding high the tide of a Jekyl Hyde persuasion won't forget his roots picking petals of creation going back back to nature from the metal that hes tasting while others sit in rooms licking wounds of hesitation But that sound of inner peace is too deafening the shrill echoing, light, the night beckons him passion unbridled , hes excited or hes frightened trying to figure out if suicidal or enlightened

Cobain Kids 03:05
Verse 1: Those freaks from the travelling carnival unravelling the layers of these cardinal sins that cling to within like barnacles Try evade lifes piranha tooth arsenals, sonnet for the smarter fools Who thought losing our mind could have its benefits walking out of heaven for another stab at decadence with our heads high don't try hide the evidence being out of touch in a time that lacks relevance The names Somes soul levitates over the globe too much to say so I demonstrate over these odes, of the cobblestones, unbottled poems, spilling down the pavement, flowing through forgotten homes rain dance troupe made up of rotting souls null o time, colour blind hunt for that pot of gold just trying to make that album I can die with That fortified live shit, trying to reach the blind kids Chorus: The Cobain kids, every day, same shit hazed creatives who make shit to shake this monotony hangs heavy in the air, from working in a system who for them will never care The Cobain kids, every day, same shit insane creatives, who make shit to break this image that they're lazy and afraid, while they're up all night creating til their nights fade into days Verse 2: Live from the fringes outlaws of attraction, minds off the hinges Shout outs to the gluttonous ghosts, the hand they dealt still stuck in the spokes, Make a toast raise a glass with a cut to our throat Lying in the bed we made when we under the oath effect kaleidoscope, from walking on a tighter rope trying to cope, and accidentally spread hope to silent folk vivid pallet, dunk the brush fuck a lighter stroke painting from the guts for our rush til its time to choke Cider soaked park kids, dig for brighter hopes given the wrong map, sticking us on track, we mighta broke finally found our own path towards our own treasure but Lived for pleasure, had it sooner if we'd known better to the beat of our own break, we sealing our own fate the bass got us feeling our bones shake laureates of Ghost Town, kids don't condone hate just try to spread the love like we had those old tapes

Suburbia 03:20
Verse 1: alley cat, tin can roof, funeral suits, abandoned truths old souls dismantled youth, branching out from trampled roots trying to go against the ingrained, trying to build a body out of inkstains screenshots of the mundane, contained in that box marked insane On cathedral steps, like a feeble pet, as the needle wept, they say she bleeds for effect, cheating death,got the keys to eden but ain't started weeding yet, seasoned vet, needs to smell the air while he's got a bit of breathing left he's in debt, to no meaning, fleeting, time for the feeding next, one choice, do drugs or do shit, one voice, use it and lose grip bad brains, fast lanes n cruise ships ash stains, trashed names n blue prints A corpse in a new mink cos it really matters what you think watch the dust scatter in a few blinks or you can learn to swim once you choose sink Verse 2:
