RLK WATKINS - THE BEAST HAS ARRIVED

Dog Walks Into a Bar

Ipse

Cycle

clementine

time with me

casey’s sleeping in the dirt 
mud is caked onto her skirt
but the sun is beating down
so she needs the cool soft ground
 casey runs around the yard
wishing that she could go far
split this town and catch a train
would we hear from her again

now she’s unlocked the back gate
finally she has escaped
while her parents are asleep
she hits the concrete with her feet
doesn’t know where she will go
and suddenly she misses home
stops when she reaches the tracks
breathes in deep and then turns back

casey knows that she’s still fast
but maybe not like summers past
runs from all that she’s been told
but does she know she’s getting old

casey’s yelling at the breeze
scared her when it hit the trees
she’s just just nervous from her dream
hears a knock then screams and screams

now she’s unlocked the back gate
one last time she has escaped
her parents follow down the street
begging casey come back please
doesn’t know where she will go
but she knows she can’t go home
over fences and through lawns
til her silhouette is gone

til her silhouette is gone
til her silhouette is gone
casey when will you come home
casey when will you come home

casey

it takes time
don't go following the line
it's in your mind
creativity is kind

how could you be so dumb and not see
you can be anything you wanna be
forget the pressures of society
finally free

in a bind
what you hurrying to find
it takes pride
don't go worrying this time

free your mind
creativity is kind
yeah it's alright
don't go following the line

how could you be so dumb and not see
you can be anything you wanna be
forget the pressures of society
finally free

u can be anything

girl it’s true
yeah i’m in love with you
please let me stay with you
we’ll do what lovers do
oh baby let me lay with you
girl how I ache for you
why do you play with me
I wander aimlessly 
oh baby I just want to die
when you look in my eyes
and then I start to cry
inside my head

let me lay with you

stating  my opinion
this  wasn’t my decision 
i’d take it all back
if I could
yeah she’s the got the vision
they’ll make the incision 
and I’ll be laying low now for good

no more conversations
if life is what you make 
don’t wanna be misunderstood 
no more vacations
if life is what you make it
then ’ll be laying low now for good

there’s a silver string 
keep on pulling
can’t remember things
when they’re foolin
there’s a part of me 
in the ocean
still feel my body on the shore
i’m not okay anymore
i’m not okay

if I take my life
will I reside here 
in this dark

with my head and my heart
still beating
still believing

laying low // silver string

alright jon on lead guitar

like the ending of a chapter
said she's moving to the south
you're not the one she's looking after
creeping out the corner of her mouth
it sips away
while you just stay in your ways
at the bottom of your cup
if its not pain
that keeps you sane through your days
its the one you're thinking of
now you're turning through your pages
and your stories changing up
between the lines and all the phrases
it just feels like giving up

like the ending of a chapter

no page like you
try to
write new
no days shine through
eyes too
sky blue

she was creeping through your garden
took the apple from your tree
then your faith for her had started
but you knew where it ought to be
like the ending of a chapter

no page like you
try to
write new
no days shine through
eyes too
sky blue
