DJ CLOCKWORK - 4:48 (feat. Smoke Mo' Purp)(prod. larry fisherman)

You walk into 
The world you make
You loose yourself 
But you find your way

Going to watch you radiate …

We turn so slow 
I know it’s hard to wait
Take your time son
It’s yours to take

Going to watch you radiate …

These rocks they hold heat
Pools of water cool your feet
As you walk you believe
Every part of the dream

I see you lost 
In what you create
All of time 
In this one single day 

You take it and you radiate …

Follow your hands
As they build, as they shape
As they follow your mind
As it rolls like a wave

Take it and you radiate …

These rocks they hold heat
Pools of water cool your feet
As you walk you believe
Every part of the dream

From Here To Now To You

In the morning when the world came awake
Before you knew me I knew your name
It was painted across the day as it breaks 
An impression in your window frame 

When you saw me out your window
Singing from the garden
Only the beginning 
I’m only getting started
I don't mind the digging 
Baby, I'll work harder
I've been washing dishes
Singing from the bottom

But one day I'll be running this place
And one day I could take you away
But I want you to wonder what’s my name
Because I need you to want me the same

When you saw me washing dishes
Singing from the bottom
Only the beginning 
I’m only getting started
I don't mind the digging 
Baby, I'll work harder
I've been in the ashes
Singing from the garden

Where everything reaches for the sun
Still unsure of what we’ll become
But I need you to reach out to me
See in me more than I could see
Because I’m afraid that…

One day is only two words we say
I don’t want to let them get in the way 
Of all the plans that we should be making right now
Right now

Who took the time and where did they take it
I want to take it back, I don't want to let them break it
All these plans that we should be making right now
Right now

You see now one day I'll be running this place
And one day I could take you away
But I want you to wonder what's my name
Because I need you to want me the same

When you saw me out your window
Singing from the bottom
Only the beginning
I'm only getting started
I don't mind the digging
Baby, I'll work harder
I’ve been washing dishes
Singing from the bottom 

One day is only two words we say
I don’t want to let them get in the way 
Of all these plans that we should be making right now
Right now

But who took the time and where did they take it
I want to take it back, I don't want to let them break it
All these plans that we should be making right now

Washing Dishes

Shot reverse shot
Look what the other got
Shot reverse shot
Look what the other got

Drop the anchor make it stop
Edible digital clocks
Infinity figure eight 
Figure out what you're not
Junk-an’ a po, cut your loss
Come to cut your corners off
You're the rock and I'm the paper
You're the scissors, I'm the rock

Shot reverse shot
Look what the other got
Shot reverse shot
Look what the other got

Feel this storm go through my sail
Follow someone else’s trail
Camera A, Camera B
In your home, on your TV
Hook me up, look in my eyes
Dilate, do I surprise you?
Watch me blush, blink, sink
Trust in me so you don’t have to think

Shot reverse shot
Look what the other got
Shot reverse shot
Look what the other got

Can you even feel what’s real?
With such a shallow depth of field

Kill the engine, stop the car
Cut the lights and there you are
Stars so small 
You’re the king of them all
Stand tall, rack focus 
Now you crawl back broken
Now the stars so vast 
Heat, wind, storm, break my mast

Shot reverse shot
Look what the other got
Shot reverse shot
Look what the other got

Feel this storm go through my sail
Follow someone else’s trail
Can you even feel what’s real?
With such a shallow depth of field

Shot reverse shot

Drop the anchor, make it stop
Make the moment, kill the clock
Infinity figure eight 
Figure out what you're not
Junk an’ a po, cut your loss
Come to cut your corners off
You're the rock and I'm the paper
You're the scissors, I'm the rock

Look what the other got

Shot Reverse Shot

It feels good to be the one that you want
When all I want is you
It feels good to be the one that you want
When all I want is you

When I first saw
You come across the room
And then you saw me
Did not know what to do

I tried to play it cool
And attach no strings
But by the end of the day 
I needed the whole thing

It feels good to be the one that you want
When all I want is you
It feels good to be the one that you want
When all I want is you

You see I knew right then
That this could last so long
I went home that night
I wrote my first love song

And as the days went by
I knew I had it made
Well, you could try to pretend
Your smile gave it away

It feels good to be the one that you want
When all I want is you
It feels good to be the one that you want
When all I want is you

And now here we are
How could we ever know?
I knew I loved you then
And I've watched you grow

And so it came to be
That I raised you and you raised me
We're lucky that way
Because our love can never fade

No, our love can never fade
Our love will never fade
Our love can never fade

It feels good to be the one that you want
When all I want is you
Never fade
It feels good to be the one that you want
When all I want is you
Never fade
All I want is you
Never fade
All I want is you
Never fade
When all I want is you

Never Fade

From my tape deck there's a recklessness
Inflections of the world we want
All my friends, my rusty truck
We’re just specs of love, directionless
We’ll call this band just what we want
We can change the name from month to month
Four guitars and zero drums
We sounded folk but we wanted to be punk
In a world post punk

My friend had an old guitar
He took some lessons, didn't get very far
An Ibanez with one knob stuck
Said you can have that thing for fifty bucks
Loren got a bass but he got no amp
We borrowed Skill's, we never gave it back
Luke was just learning how to strum
But since he was the worst
We made him play the drums


You may find in the palm
Of your hand there’s a flame
As it burns, as it climbs
As it turns to a blaze
Well this flame, it won’t last
Here it comes, hold it close
Because this blaze can be fast
Set it free now there it goes

Luke's mom said that after school
We could rehearse in the living room
But that sure didn't last too long
Guess she didn't know we played Fugazi songs
Play these songs in the talent show
And all of the girls will be in the front row
But in the end we just chickened out
Because we can't sing, we can only shout
Only shhhhhhh….

You may find in the palm
Of your hand there’s a flame
As it burns, as it climbs
As it turns to a blaze
Well this flame, it won’t last
Here it comes, hold it close
Well this blaze can be fast
Set it free now there it goes

Tape Deck

Mercury’s in retrograde
Don't believe a thing I say
You know I don't believe that stuff 
My mind's only made of dust

The echo always said get real
Mostly I just go by feel
Kick it first if it don't start 
Don’t need tools I got my heart

Are we free, or afraid 
Of what we’re told
Are we out of or under 
Control

When Saturn returns I begin
To trust in patterns more than men
Or the stories that they tell
Even when they tell them well

The echo always sounded good
Until I finally understood 
I only had to open the door
Now I don’t trust the echo anymore

Are we free, or afraid 
Of what we’re told
Are we out of or under 
Control

All these planets pulling me around 
They pulled my face into a frown
Even though my minds made up
My mind's only made of dust
From stars and clouds and oceans all unseen
From stars and clouds and oceans all unseen

Are we free, or afraid 
Of what we’re told
Are we out of or under 
Control

Don't Believe A Thing I Say

As I was saying
Just before you left the room 
Before I assumed 
That you might not come around

As I was saying 
Just after I took my foot from
My mouth and put it back 
On the ground

I don't want to disappoint you
I don't want to disappear
From here or now or you

This is worth saving
Because the sum of us is more than us
If you add us up 
Then subtract my lack of sleep

My mind feels crazy
When all these thoughts come rushing in
Should I be trusting them 
Or only let them be?

I don't want to disappoint you
I don't want to disappear
From here or now or you

Is it just a matter of time?
Does it even matter at all?
Because even if this story should fall 
From the sky to the sea
If I should fall 
Would you fall down with me?     
Would you fall with me?

Found my foundation
It was underneath me all along
On this path I'm on 
Now I never walk alone

I've been erasing
Rewrote the second half like this
So my protagonist 
Might find his way back home     

I don't want to disappoint you
I don't want to disappear
From here or now or you
Not from here or now or you

As I Was Saying

Well, your mama made you pretty
And your mama made you sweet
Your daddy gave you daydreams
And more cushion in your seat
Your mama gave you those windows 
To your beautiful soul
Your daddy’s got more love for you 
Than you could ever know

You remind me of you
Yes you do now
You remind me of you
Yes you do

Well your mama made a promise 
That your daddy’s gonna keep
Forever’s how long 
Your mama’s going to love your… 
Daddy made you messy 
And your mama made you neat
Forever’s how long your daddy’s gonna love your…
Mama made a clone 
So she won’t be alone
When the boys and me are getting 
So out of control

You remind me of you
Yes you do now
You remind me of you
Yes you do

When you cry, when you cry
Well your mama’s gonna dry your eyes
When you cry, when you cry
Well your mama’s gonna dry your eyes
And your daddy’s surely gonna try
But only mama’s gonna dry your eyes
But your daddy’s surely gonna try

You Remind Me Of You

There’s a black hole pulling me in 
I slowly bend 
‘til I see the back of my own sins
I stole my soul from myself 
Now I wonder

I wonder is there somebody with a perfect plan 
That goes boom when it’s stamped 
Then we could understand
How the gods of old used to clap their hands 
To make thunder

And so we’re clapping and we’re laughing 
Like it was so absurd
In the future we’ll be laughing at who we were 
Right now as man plays god with the land 
That he plunders

To the one unknown no one can own 
No seed that’s resistant to greed 
If we listen to time after time
Time can never go under

There’s this vine trying to climb 
Through the window into my life
I don’t mind, I don’t mind, I don’t mind
There’s this wine trying to find 
It’s way from the bottle into my mind
In my mind, in my mind, in my mind

And so this vine is trying to climb 
Through the window into my life
To bring me symmetry and memories 
Of a backlit breeze 
Back into a dream on the ground 
Looking up at the sun coming down

Into a world where boys and girls 
Are holding hand held devices
While they’re eating and they’re sleeping 
And they’re dreaming of the prices
We’ll be paying down the line 
When the ice melts maybe it will turn to wine

And all the greatest of the heroes 
Started jumping from the books
They started wearing ones and zeros
Looking more and more like crooks
They stole the sunlight from the future 
Took a sip, drank half the glass then put it back

A lot of people like to have a feast
Not so many can stomach the killing
A lot of traffic on the streets
So who’s really doing all the drilling?
Keep on filling what can never be full 
My imagination’s got a hole in it

There’s this vine trying to climb 
Through the window into my life
I don’t mind, I don’t mind, I don’t mind
There’s this wine trying to find 
It’s way from the bottle into my mind
In my mind, in my mind, in my mind

Ones And Zeros

Just when you were getting used to this place
You were getting used to these bones
You were getting used to the changes
Well the change won’t leave you alone

You finally caught up with the pace
The tough just might have got going
You thought you could trust all the faces 
Well they’re only on one side of the coin  

All these changes
Different stages
Turning page after page after page
It gets stranger day by day

Set your eyes straight up ahead
Don’t look down when you cross
And pay no mind to time it’s a punch line
The joke is on all of us

All these changes
Different stages
Turning page after page after page
It gets stranger day by day

Change

I've got to get home 
There's a garden to tend  All the fruit’s on the ground
The birds have all moved back Into my attic 
Whistle then static 
The young learn to fly 
I will patch up the holes once again  

Well I can't believe that my lime tree is dead
 I thought it was sleeping
I guess it got fed up with not being fed 
I would be too I keep food in my belly 
And hope that my time isn't soon  

So I try to understand
What I can't hold in my hand A
nd whatever I find
I’ll find my way back to you 
And if you could try to find it too 
Because this place is overgrown
 It’s a waxing moon 

Home is wherever we are 
If there's love here too  
In the back of my house 
There’s a trail that won't end
 We went walking so far 
It grew back in  
And now there's no trail at all
Only grass growing taller 
Get out my machete
And battle with time once again
 But I'm bound to lose
Because I'll be damned if time don't win

  I got to get home 
There's a garden to tend 
All the seeds from the fruit 
Buried and begin 
Their own family trees 
Teach them thank you and please
 Spread their own roots 
Then watch the young fruit grow again 
This old trail 
Will lead me right back to where it begins

  So I try to understand
What I can't hold in my hand 
And whatever I find
I’ll find my way back to you 
And if you could try to find it too 
Because this place is overgrown
 It’s a waxing moon

 Home is wherever we are 
If there's love here too
 Home is wherever we are 
If there's love here too
Home is wherever we are 
If there's love here too

Larry Fisherman - In A Minute (feat. Da$h, Ab-Soul, & Sir Michael Rocks)

words: mitch hedberg
music: larry fisherman

Back when all my little goals 
Seemed so important
And every pot of gold 
Filling full of distortion
Heaven was a place still in space 
Not in motion
But soon

I got you, I got everything
I’ve got you, I don't need nothing
More than you, I got everything
I’ve got you

We went walking through the hills 
Trying to pretend that we both know
Maybe if we save up 
We could build a little home
But then the hail storm came
It yelled "you need to let go,
You've got no control" 

I got you, I got everything
I’ve got you, I don't need nothing
More than you, I got everything
I’ve got you

This weight’s too much alone
Some days I can't hold it at all
If you take it on for me
When tomorrow is too much
I'll carry it all
I got you

When tomorrow is too much
I'll carry it all
I got you

I got you, I got everything
I’ve got you, I don't need nothing
More than you, I got everything
I’ve got you
