Lyrics:

[Verse One]
Sitting thumb twiddling
Wasting the fun minutes
Feel like a dumb kid again
But I'm happy
Fit in the sun sizzling
only begun to settle in
let your feet run, pedalling
to this rap beat
Full of contentment
and my sentiment centred around the elephants in the room we don't venture to mention
or ever were said to have entered we'd resent that we're friends in end I'm bent round the pencil in this one tenement
But there's some benefits
to being chill in the face of evil and seeing the best in people for the hell of it
For these three minutes your grievances irrelevant
and when I'm in my dwelling mellow I try not to dwell on it
Lying back and reminiscing 
on the times that petrol was less efficient
and I had better vision
but i was still blessed with extra wishing
the vessel and destination yet to picked
and i was yet to be different
we don't get to be living in careful bliss
without revisiting past events in our head
til they're blizzarding (spinning, scissoring?)
and the memory that they shed in the visage of what we said's an effective reflection of what we're missing
listen

[Chorus]
I'm feeling like my history is B-List
I'm feeling like my future ain't the greenest
But with this breeze of my tee
there ain't no reason to be defeatist
kick my feet up and let the pianist relieve himself and breathe in the sweet bliss

[Verse Two]
Wish I could bottle this moment
it's not a unique thought
or some kind of omen
But i don't ever wanna speak taut
Battle with what my sleep's fraught
with not off to clean start
does she love me or does she love me not
mother earth's cheap talk
couldn't work on me brother
i see the beauty of life between my sheet covers
i don't know why anybody would wanna go and beat others
i don't know why anybody would wanna go be lovers
There's so much noise in the crowd
people voicing their doubts
stuck in a poisonous drought
pointing their pointlessness out
looking like boys in a shroud
a bunch of toys in the crib
look how my poise it is proud
because i drown out the shit
relax, take the hourglass and flip it
you just got 60 more minutes
til you finish, live it
to the limits, and when you spirit off to heaven or some prison in the pits of existence I'll come and visit

[Bridge]
sometimes we need to take a break
but sometimes we don't have some time
this is the mantra on my brain that's been keeping me awake
attempting to let my grasp unwind
but i'll appreciate my mistakes
every second on this planet
i can manage just to crack a smile
we set our own goals own hopes own fears
in old years i just hope I relay it back to a child
but right now
