Once upon a time, such a lonely girl
Had found herself corrupted in a lonely world
She took off in her father’s brand new Cadillac
And pulled up on her boyfriend, said she’ll never come back
Her boyfriend begged and pleaded and said “Baby no,
Let me hop in the car with you, we’ll take it slow.”
They drove around the town with the windows down
The silence of the future just hanging around
They stopped right at a diner, shared a burger and shake
The quivering of her legs just makes him quake
She said “Baby, I had a dream I think you should know.
My mother was a virgin and my father was a whore”

And I’m
Their angelic saint of life
So feather weight and light
That the only way
To survive is to leave today
Oh, today

The dream wouldn’t rupture anything

The boyfriend had a grimace and a face of dismay
The diner had a song by the Pixies playing
The boyfriend downed his drink and was ready to go
She said “Babe, isn’t this the song they played right at the show?”

The rapture

the dream (2020) [demo]

Summertime give you that glow
Remember when life was a show
All of the homies want more
Than all that we had before
We holding the weight of the world
Our family was put on a boat
Ironic cause all that we smoke
Is weight coming straight off a boat
You wanna fuck, it's a go
You wanna fuck, it's a go
Your skin got the shine and the glow
But don't get it twisted 'cause you do not know
We rolling it up and we toke
We rolling it up and we toke
If this is your first time for smoke
I really hope you do not choke

I really hope you do not choke
I really hope you do not choke
We rolling it up and we toke
We rolling it up and we toke
If this is your first time for smoke
I really hope you do not choke
I really hope you do not choke
I really hope you do not choke
We holding the weight of the world
Try to hold down for me girl
We got our whole life on a roll
I do not think that you know

In the summertime we do what we say so
In the summertime we got bigger bankroll
In the summertime light up big smoke
In the summertime big moves stay low
In the summertime we do what we say so
In the summertime we got bigger bankroll
Rolling with the crew you got to be a day one
In the summertime, in the summertime

Summertime give you that glow
Remember when life was a show
All of the homies want more
Than all that we had before
We holding the weight of the world
Our family was put on a boat
Ironic cause all that we smoke
Is weight coming straight off a boat
You wanna fuck, it's a go
You wanna fuck, it's a go
Your skin got the shine and the glow
But don't get it twisted 'cause you do not know
We rolling it up and we toke
We rolling it up and we toke
If this is your first time for smoke
I really hope you do not choke

I really hope you do not choke
I really hope you do not choke
We rolling it up and we toke
We rolling it up and we toke
If this is your first time for smoke
I really hope you do not choke
I really hope you do not choke
I really hope you do not choke
We holding the weight of the world
Try to hold down for me girl
We got our whole life on a roll
I do not think that you know

patrick
you see i'm growing
a mustache
and though i know
i must ask you
does it really make me look like a man?

spongebob
being a manager's
a tough job
i hope you're picked
you'll be the best sponge-boss they've had
working like a dog at the krusty krab

now wait a minute

i think we've hit a wall
i think we've hit a psychic wall

maybe
we're just young
and we won't know until we're old
too young to free ourselves
of this lonely fish bowl

some kind of wall
some kind of psychic wall
some kind of wall
some kind of psychic wall
we can't get around

think of 2017
put your shoes in the backseat
my love was for someone
now it's hailing a taxi

come on
let's find a way to be happy
not like plankton
he will never be satisfied
always complaining about his life

to his computer wife
you think he would've found by now
to be thought of as a king
you don't need a crown

think of 2017
put your shoes in the backseat
my love was for someone
now it's hailing a taxi

[LYRICS]
insecurity jacket
that's how it's born
it keeps us warm
crowded hallway racket
unassuming around the storm
getting better at getting better
worlds amongst us in living form
take away just what we need
the preservation is getting old
set the scene, we imagine things
we're too cool to dream
our evergreens
against sixteens that ring
for us to never really get anything, goddamn
life is fucking glee
a nigga never really tried for anything
except flunking school and smoking weed
the backyards class, the basement scenes

like a snake in my boots
i feel gone from my roots
yeah, the bed is my booth
you don't know what you do to me
butterfly tummy
it lift me away
over skies, over seas
don't know what you do to me, oh no

daydream my head of me passing away
and my spirit takes flight
presence a-made
you a ghost, i'm a house
how we howl for this peace

uh, mic check, one-two
one-two
uh, mic check, one-two
one-two
uh, yeah

glitter on my zipper
cotton coattails keep me warm
sleeves little longer than my arms
daydream my head of me passing away
world's a little smaller with the passing of days
stay ahead of the curb
no, my youth won't save me now
head in the dirt
got a feeling that i'm shaking down
blur out the words of a past life
make my memory create a new story for me each night
something in my system help me get high, eat right, sleep tight
pass it to the left and i'm gone
eighth grade songs in my mental library
ninth grade lunch hanging in the library
sixth grade with my insecurity jacket
decade later with the same sort of magic
walking in a circle with my voice down low
talking to myself for just way too long, too long

[LYRICS]
ayy ayy ayy ayy ayy ayy huh

you can hit me when the time is straight
waited for you but i'll never wait again
no, i never had a stake
place my hand across my heart
the weight was felt heavy on my shoulders now
little taller, little older now
mind sharper, getting bolder now
hope the ghosts walking around the halls will forgive me when they pass my body shape
fifteen with my skinny frame
reflection had me feeling body shame
twenty-three and now i'm feeling lean
imma wait right 'til the timing's good
driving all the way to your hood
half a hour or eight hours
if i ever loved you, imma always love you
just like drizzy said in his older books
nodding your head, you're shook
some of these niggas is crooks
taking back all that they took
ayy ayy ayy ayy
you had a lot to give
we had a life to live
we've got a life to live

take off your shades to see
just what you mean to me
i'd never go out my way
especially after last sunday
you ask me about my days
i tell it like lil wayne would say

i'm going in
i'm going in
i'm going in
i'm going in circles

i'm going in
i'm going in
i'm going in cirlces

i'm going in
i'm going in
i'm going in circles

i'm going in
i'm going in
i'm going in cirlces

[LYRICS]
now you're texting with someone you don't really like
they prefer the word "film" instead of the word "movie"
their pretension is gluing your eyes to the three little dots that keep moving
this feels like perfection
they say "nothing's personal
i know how it feels
when that anxiety takes over from your toes to your head
you get insular and figure that you're better off dead
and separating yourself from everyone
that's what it does to me love"

and now my family tree keeps losing leaves
they fall at my feet
they're crumbling
i'm crumbling my old esteem
or lack thereof to other things
to memories of green beans
of arguments that don't mean a thing
of hours away
of stubbornness and a lack of change

and now my family tree keeps losing leaves
and the trek away is a bitter day
i wait for the day i can go away
unplanned, unscathed, the great escape
the curiosity of being seen
when you're picking up all that's at the seams
to an audience of your rookies, oh

there's no places to go when no one's looking
there's no places to go when no one's looking
there's no places to go when no one's looking
there's no places to go when no one's looking
there's no places to go when no one's looking
there's no places to go when no one's looking
there's no places to go when no one's looking
there's no places to go, places to go, places to go, places to go

and as the strings sing, they make us seem
like the kids we once were, running in the streets
and as the strings sing, they make us seem
like the kids we once were, running in the streets
and as the strings sing, they make us seem
like the kids we once were, running in the streets
and as the strings sing, they make us seem
like the kids we once were, running in the streets
and as the strings sing, they make us seem
like the kids we once were, running in the streets
and as the strings sing, they make us seem
like the kids we once were
