Lyrics:

These loops I lead
Of constantly
Pulling schemes
For sponsored teams
I thought that these
Thoughts would leave
But here we go: again, repeat
On the rocks so long, i'm lookin neat
Finna' end where soul and body meet
This machine of meat
Takes the driver's seat
And starts telling me:

You're incomplete
Not elite
You're obsolete
Just retreat
You can't compete
Admit defeat
Return to start, no receipts
You're incomplete
Not elite
You're obsolete
Just retreat
You can't compete
Admit defeat
Return to start, no receipts

We're all just lookin for some comfort
Some find it in a number
Some find it in another
We're all just lookin for some comfort
Some find it in a number
Some find it in another

The food I feign's
Not feeding me
Its the holes in me
That are hungering
They're ushering
A cluttering
That's covering
My wondering
So I'm comforting
With other things
Things that leave me stumbling
And fumbling
It really should be humbling.

But this truth i can't digest
I'm no different from the rest
From womb to tomb, we clean a mess
We're our own damsel in distress
No matter how we dress success,
Our crave for comfort causes stress
I ask my selves what happens next
But this is all that they've expressed:

You're incomplete
Not elite
You're obsolete
Just retreat
You can't compete
Admit defeat
Return to start, no receipts

You got no heat
Take a seat
You waste these beats
Press delete.
Your life's deplete
No deceit
They're pressing skip, not repeat

We're all just lookin for some comfort
Some find it in a number
Some find it in another
We're all just lookin for some comfort
Some find it in a number
Some find it in another

The search for comfort's not consoling
The search for content leaves you scrolling
Even with therapeutic rolling,
You'll see that suffering's controlling
So for the old me, i'm condoling
For now, it's Moksha i'm patrolling
And from samsara, unenrolling
Tired of this jailing then paroling
No more chasing for the safe and warm
I retreat to latent form.
And so now I'm sober and it's over
I'm so done with mediocre
I'll go back to bein a loner
And being my own owner

We're all just lookin for some comfort
Some find it in a number
Some find it in another
We're all just lookin for some comfort
Some find it in a number
Some find it in another
I'm done lookin for some comfort
Won't find it in a number
Won't find it in another
I'm done lookin for some comfort
Won't find it in a number
Won't find it in another

Lyrics:

Fuck it, cause we're all fucked up.
And it's why we’re gettin' fucked up.
And every time we fuck up, we lookin for that come up.
me, myself, and high..that’s what makes the voices shut up.
To sum it up: we go until the sun’s up

I'll. be. just. fine.
Fine, I’ll be fine

Closer to the tomb, the womb is what’s sought after
Resume to consume; capture back that lost laughter
No concern to whom; always been my own master
So let’s tie one on and forget what comes after.

I'll be just fine.
We'll be just fine.
Ain't nothing changed.
I'll be just fine.
We'll be just fine.
It's all the same.
I'll be just fine.
We'll be just fine.
Maintain this flame.
That burns up the pain.
When we live life in vain.

I give it all. All to the moment
Nothing for myself; I will never own it.
If there is a truth, I’ve never known it.
So when it comes to finding meaning…better postpone it.

I'll be just fine.
We'll be just fine.
Maintain this flame.
That burns up the pain.
When we live life in vain.
(Fine, I’ll be fine)

I guess what I’m saying is it’s already written.
And there ain't no part of life that you’re gonna christen
So why we speakin up when all we needs a listen?
It's when I put these thoughts away that I can get my bliss in.

I'll be just fine.
We'll be just fine.
Maintain this flame.
That burns up the pain.
When we live life in vain.
(Fine, I’ll be fine)

No fool for the finger, I'm just lookin at the signs.
Kinda like how my G is silent by design.
Written in the blueprint of how my alleles align.
So I let it run....till my telomeres resign.

I'll be just fine. (I’m gonna be fine)
We'll be just fine. (We gonna be fine)
Maintain this flame.
That burns up the pain.
When we live life in vain.
(Fine, I’ll be fine)

(NIXX)
I’m not a blood cell; I can’t live in vain.
On this journey for success, I can’t miss the plane.
No, I won’t stop for a little rain.
Imma walk through the fire and the flames cause…

I'll be just fine.
We'll be just fine.
Maintain this flame.
That burns up the pain.
When we live life in vain.
(Fine, I’ll be fine)

(NIXX)
Every tribulation has a purpose, has a message.
Although even if it isn’t on the surface, there’s a lesson
But the key is not to fixate on just searchin through the wreckage
If you quiet down your mind, It’ll surface unexpected cause…

I'll be just fine. (I’m gonna be fine)
We'll be just fine. (We gonna be fine)
Maintain this flame.
That burns up the pain.
When we live life in vain.
(Fine, I’ll be fine)

I’ll be just fine.
We’ll be just fine.
I’ll be just fine.

Lyrics:

Now the beat heatin up. That's an Al Gore rhythm
Got the lyrics with the logic, they won't even know what hit em
Not even in the system, I wrote the algorithm
There must be somethin in him
Nah...I just follow wisdom
Chasin' insight like it's never out of season
I went through the pain and I reached the age of reason
And now they wanna forge what I  forged with my cerebrum
So I engorge my pen with ink and scribble and delete'em
Not by artificial means
My calculation's clean
I dressed the scene
But all these actors actin' all obscene
Like a child's energy and amphetamines
It wasn't meant to be. I rehearsed it. I know what I mean

Our paths diverged by just a couple of degrees
But now our points reside in two realities
Check my rolodex. I got entities
Gotta drop a couple densities
To find my old identities

They're too weak like 14 days
I stay hungry like it's 40 days
They're ovary-acting. 14th day
I'm one for words. keep it up for days
Cause I'm outside of space and time
That makes this a meta-verse
With enclosed hurt, Pandora's curse
Not written in the stars. No fate in my sign
But I'm off this plane. I stay astral
From this loud gas. Theirs just gastral

Our paths diverged by just a couple of degrees
But now our points reside in two realities
Check my rolodex. I got entities
Gotta drop a couple densities
To find my old identities

I'm a letter-up, OG…C
I'm compulsively a literate. OCD
Not just capital
I don't need to cap at all
My winners after falls
Same story as us all.
Past apogees, now perigees
I'm startin up a pedigree
No longer cold from apathy
I dialed up the heat when I brought it to the high degrees
Like a thermostat
This all been simple math

Our paths diverged by just a couple of degrees
But now our points reside in two realities
Check my rolodex. I got entities
Gotta drop a couple densities
To find my old identities

An orchestral piece opening with airy strings and piano, moving into a chorus with a beautiful melody. The strings are then replaced by woodwinds and the strings reappear, setting the rhythm. A new steampunk theme takes hold and a second, different chorus plays, with woodwinds playing the main melody. The notes get longer and slower as the first chorus plays again, quietly and slowly on the piano to wrap the composition up.

Lyrics:

Brain is light electric but inside a dark skull
It's like we feel so deeply that we dig ourselves a hole
Like when it's fresh we can sled down any route
But then the ruts get carved till we can't help but not get out
Become a one-track mind, when it should really be an album
We needed new snow, but a storm became the outcome
Now left stuck inside with these demons we can't outrun
Guess the outcome is unwon til the owl's done
But I pulled a thread as I flew away
And now the sweaters undone and there's some colder days
They say they love my way, but I lost it when I parted ways
With the source and moved in a wave of directions
And forgot that the stem of all these obsessions
Is the blind spot of all our perceptions:
We can't see our own projection

If every time you look around, all you see is dark
Just look again
You might be the light
If every time you look around, all you see is dark
Just look within
You might be the light

The black holes of ours eyes radiate information
Our lips can’t kiss themselves or form to drink from our libation
But our arms can cradle what we carried for creation
We can’t help ourselves? that’s faulty information
So I aint stoopin down, no lower levels of vibrations
I keep my verbs a noun, so I'm fuckin confirmation
If I’m nervous, my butterflies in formation
Cause this meditation is death preparation 
Sitting still, it all becomes the same
But it’s truly coldest at the center of the flame
So if you come to see me from a far-off reference frame
Put the lightning in a bottle when I strike your moving train

Cause shadows from my fire block the light from out the cave
I can’t be walkin down the same trails that I now pave
But what I spend is what we save
If we’re the light, we must ride the wave

If every time you look around, all you see is dark
Just look again
You might be the light
If every time you look around, all you see is dark
Just look within
You might be the light
If every time you look around, all you see is dark
Just look again
You might be the light
If every time you look around, all you see is dark
Just look within
You might be the light
You might be the light

Since I have never recorded a mix I thought I'd put together a quick one. It is rough on some of the transitions but I still had fun mixing it :)

Lyrics:

I miss chester and I miss mac miller.
these days, I miss substance amidst all the filler

what's it all mean?
I'm not sure, so I take another triptamine.
don't need to pack my bags for the kinda trip i need.

So I tear the scene apart, rip it at its seams
Seen enough to know that things are not only as they seem. 
raise the curtains up, another act, another scene.
we just keep hittin restart? whipin the tablets clean?

Then...

dip me by my ankles and give me amnesia
forgettin all the haters 'cause I didn't ever need ya

I bring color to words, like synaesthesia
silence is the actual, one true panacea.

--

but can you hit repeat? and sing me something sweet?
i'll smoke the beat and together we're mesquite

I used to bus the tables, now i always have a seat.
makin something for myself that i'll never get to keep

(Chorus x2)
when i go. throw it all away.
the message repeats itself every single day.
i don't think. that you can forget.
its a part of you that you've never met.

comfort
