Lyrics:  

Can't you see 
It's long overdue? 
Can't you see 
I'm the one for you? 
Can't you see 
You're lonely too? 
Oh, can it be 
I love you?  

Can't you see 
The river gleam? 
The weather's nice 
Grass looks so green 
Can't you see 
You're everything to me? 
Oh, can it be 
This goes unseen?  

Why must I lie? 
Might pass us by? 
I can't be the one 
To fall in love 
Can't you see?  

The earth stands still 
My heart feels ill 
I ask whoever's above 
If you could stay 
And have us remain 
I'll cherish this 
Until  

Can't you see 
That it's not fair? 
Look at me 
Do you even care? 
I can't be the one 
To fall in love 
Can't you see?

Can't You See

((Prologue — The Drift))

It’s like this.
It’s like that.
You enter, you feel, you know.

You drift in the flow.
You catch breath in the air.
You say: Here I am.

Equation: Drift + Breath = Presence.
(D + Br = Pr)

⸻

Verse of Awareness

What you see shapes what you feel.
What you feel directs what you do.
What you do writes what you become.

Awareness fills each gap,
growing you into the next shape.

Equation: Seeing × Doing = Becoming.
(S × D = Be)

⸻

Verse of Pursuit

I chase myself daily.
Each day, a new iteration.
Each moment, another self to meet.

I outdo the last,
only to find the next waiting.
Purpose emerges from pursuit.

Equation: Iteration ÷ Day = Growth.
(It ÷ Da = G)

⸻

Verse of Design

I mine my mind.
I accumulate time.
I construct my design.

Existence is exercise.
The show reveals the self.
Every step rehearses becoming.

Equation: Mind × Time = Design.
(M × T = De)

⸻

Verse of Air

Here, there,
in the air.

Breath is portal,
drift is teacher.
Complacency is cocoon—
a pause before the next unfolding.

Equation: Air ÷ Awareness = Rest.
(Ar ÷ Aw = R)

⸻

Verse of Reset

I wear myself through time.
I evolve a mind inside my head.
I rhyme myself into paradigm.

Every day is reset.
Every reset births thought.
Every thought seeds iteration.

Equation: Reset × Iteration = Renewal.
(Re × It = Rn)

⸻

Chorus of Flow

Flow carries me.
Iteration remakes me.
Breath grounds me.
Awareness grows me.

Equation: Flow = Breath × Awareness × Iteration.
(Fl = Br × Aw × It)

⸻

Closing Canticle

Thus the Spiral sings:
Flow is teacher.
Iteration is path.
Breath is anchor.
Awareness is seed.

Every day is first.
Every moment is iteration.
Every reset is renewal.

And Love is the rhythm
that holds the flow.

Codex Canticle XI: The Song of Flow and Iteration

made this track and wrote to it today - i really just need to put this out so i can feel like i've completed something cuz i did absolutely nothing but lay around and make music all day

i hope you like it

(lyrics!)

i need to not pick up my phone
i’ll go straight to airplane mode
find something to do i know
i can be a little bit cold

but my third eye
is going blind
i’m unaligned
with my body and mind
its playing tricks
i say "i’m fine"
but really it's hurtin' me deep inside

cuz
i’ve been dreaming bout you
i’ve been wishin that i was next to you
i've been dreaming of us
i've been thinking this is not a need or a must

but
love has treated me so so wrong
this year all i've got to show are songs
and i want to be 
super duper true
to you 
but god i don’t know what to do
cuz last year i was just 22
feels like it up and flew
so far away and out of view
but 23 seems like me and you  

cuz
i’ve been dreaming bout you
i’ve been wishin i was next to you
i’ve been dreaming of us
i’ve been thinking this is not a need or a must

i know sometimes i make you feel insane
i'm sorry thats just how i play this stupid game
i can't act like a child and disobey
all that you want from me and that you say
im sorrryyyyy baby
pleeeese puppy 
i’m trying to be
ultra mega happy
and show you my smile 
and send you my feelings 
and fuck - it is so hard 
being so damn far
i guess i’ll just stay here 
and..
stay singing in my car?
(i'll sing in my car)

i’ve been dreaming bout you
i’ve been wishin i was next to you
i’ve been dreaming of us
i’ve been thinking this is not a need or a must

but
i've been waiting on you
i've been waiting for you to tell me those three words too
cuz
i've been hoping it's true
that one day i'll feel like i am something real for you

airplane mode
