Lyrics:

Iʼm right here, Iʼll told you to be seen when you wanna to be 
Iʼm not trying cause they feel like they wanna see 
Here when every time I think somethingʼs real it seems that all that was managed is a taste of complacency  

Every time I need some space for myself 
Now how Iʼm gonna tell you anything else? 
Out loud, I really just donʼt think you can hear that idle beating on the inside of ears  

Right here, where holding up the frame means I ‘oughta beʼ 
Yaʼll start crying til you realized you caused a scene 
Here, where every time I think itʼs a deal it seeps and that could matter was a place for this phase to sleep  

Every time I need some space for myself 
Out loud I want to tell you anything else 
Right now, I really just donʼt think you can hear that idle beating on the inside of ears  

Right? Right here, Right?

Through The Soil

Building

Take me back to another story
You know one where I know my needs?
‘Cause every time I wake in this line
It’s a fight that I control time

It be a rush!
So tell me you know?
The only thing the media does
It’s like I’m spinning around
The only thing that I need is ground

It be a rush!

Tell me anything and I’ll roll
I’ll tell that I want to move on
Do I need anything while I’m here?
Do I need anything from out there?

It be a rush!
So tell me you know?
The only thing the media does
It’s like I’m spinning around
The only thing that I need is ground

It be a rush...

lyrics:

i should probably try to stay wake
better off i should do what i say
maybe then i wont procrastinate
i wont

never meant for you to fall
never meant for you to fall
never meant for you to fall
never meant for you to fall
ok? i-i-i-i

ok, i mind
its not ok, i mind
its not ok, i mind
its not ok, i mind
i-i-i-i

spent the night up so i walked around
learned a four string and i settled down
wishful thinking now i get around
i know im not the only one

never meant for you to fall
never meant for you to fall
never meant for you to fall
never meant for you to fall
ok? i-i-i-i

ok, i mind
its not ok, i mind
its not ok, i mind
its not ok, i mind
i-i-i-i




units

lyrics:

you could tell you parents that mine will be there 
we could fool around
then i could guarantee you most things
like when im listening
or when ill fade away to nothing

then right before you leave 
i say….

the boy that you dont trust in
could make it back from nothing
and i don't know why i
i act like this some times

200 messages
act like i don't see them, im sorry
tonight is not the night
just wanna lay in with momo

then right as you give in
i say….

its alright im overthinking 
its alright im overthinking
im alright just overthinking

its alright im overthinking 
its alright im overthinking
im alright just overthinking

im alright just keep on thinking
im alright


bragg towers

lyrics:

and i'll go
i guess i'll push myself away
but i don't mind it cause i know
i know work i did will stay

2000 years and its today ill wanna stop
i'd fill the holes within my hands… 
space remains, nothing i drop

i went outside today
i'd let myself decay


swimming

lyrics:

am i feeling alright?
'you feeling alright?'
maybe, i don't know?
maybe i should care

they told me at times
that its not right
although im comfortable...
sometimes i do get scared

and id lay down sometimes
complain about songs i didnt write
and i don't want to go back….

i only said i was alright one time
so now i pray that you please come back
i never said i was alright all times
and now i pray that you come home

i never say it cause
i should assume that its ok
it should be ok

but never mind that though
you could say these things to me
i swear its ok

but i shouldn't i have to relay to every single person i meet on the street
it'd remind me of all those times

CENTURY III

Welcome back, thanks for being here
This has been the BLOCK
Stay tuned, more sounds on the way….

I wanna call but you said it too
Its been a minute since I won anything, I know (oh…)
I’m gonna call in a minute so..
It’s a meeting of the minds
I’m on

Talk to me, someone?
Like anything you wanna do?

You fuck around and tell me anything I wouldn’t
It’s like hold just a minute
Where’s your palm let me get it so

Im fucking running by so
Its so many many many many

[alred.]

YO

Talk to me, talk to me plenty and like any time
On this planet, at the club, like anywhere is fine
Fuck all of that noise, fuck the rhyming, we can fuck around….

It’s a meeting of the minds
I’m on

~~~~

Alright so…
We’re sitting here in the middle of the night with my…

SOUL

As I wait 
I’d, wanna go outside
Or take a minute and fuck around or  some’n like…

Everything I do
I do it for you
And now we’re taking the time til I’m right back

Soul....

INFINITE SPIRAL

My feet up in the chair
While I’d fill up on the air
Now I feel it in my stride

(When) the pattern isn’t clear
It’s in my nature that I’d want to want to go inside 

And maybe
You’ll tell me the answer 
Tonight

The ‘want to’s’,
My fear is
That maybe I might be right

“I’ll find some time to be someone
But in the meantime I’ll just stay and watch”
I could never call that life, so it’s the ‘meantime’ that’ll take you out...

So you should leave it alone

Fear of failing everything I do
But now I’m feeling everything 
Now I’m got my everything

BITTERS

Some days I move fast
I break the…entire sound barrier
Some days i slow down
I…couldn’t have fun at a beach

But through and through I move too
Take the time
And feel it all outside

Bout time I feed too
Hit the ground
And feel it all outside

And some days i move fast
I realize, I don’t ask

And some days I slow down
I wake up, I don’t tell…

How?

But through and through I move too
Take the time
And feel it all outside

Bout time I feed too
Hit the ground
And feel it all outside

SAINT, BRONCO

Breathe
I feel it on days, brace for 9 to 5 heat 
I go to slow down, means I wanna find peace

(You) think I’m satisfied?
I’d think I’m satisfied
Mind thinks the bed is fine
I wish I’m running!
  
Heart beats
A through and through light
That’s my soul surviving 
Its what I know know
There’s a moment ill be

You think I’m satisfied?
Id think I’m satisfied 
Mind thinks the bed is fine
I wish, I’m running!

Its everything you wanted 
Its all you got the 45
Who you knew you needed 
Its everything you want in life
Through and through I meant it
If anything my morning decides

Im filling list on my timeline
Need in my audio  
Missing my guide lines
Greed on the telephone
List, what you got for me?
What’s my morning design?
 
Miss only on tea its another old beat
Put it on ice its that I need
‘Im satisfied?
You think I’m satisfied?
I wish the bed was fine
I wish I’m running

We’re on my wrist, I’ll tell you the moment I feel
It’s a guide line to stand to
You’d want that as well?

You got a mean look, a fill line
I’d feel like I’m dying 
Don’t fuck with my timeline  
Don’t spit like a fire

You got that one line it’s like ten times
Hold it down, a salted wound
With fist my drawn now I’m pissed off
And I’d wish you go on
Its on that missed time id tell you
Don’t fuck with my timeline
It’s up in the fine lines
It’s all in the liner notes

LOW HIGH

Something in my life awakened
To start the waves 
Til your shadow resigns 
I’m off sides and I wanted the life
Don’t you take it way
Don’t you show up tonight 

You know sometimes you write
You call me a night
When I’m doing fine
You’ll be the lightening 

You know that I contend here to fight
So I’ll be aligned  
Now that’s what’s ahead of me

I don’t wanna talk through you
Got me extra new
You gonna show up or not?
I’m off sides and I wanted the life 
Don’t you take me away 
Don’t you show up tonight

I’m not sidelined
I’m just lost in the moment 
Its high time that I got where I wanted 

Good things on the raise
Ion like goodbyes
Hold on the ties
Collect what’s ahead of me

I don’t want to feel light blue
Got me on the news
You gonna show off your ‘right’?
 
I’m off sides and I wanted the life
Don’t you take it away
Don’t you show up tonight 

Now what’s your heart like in the morning? 
Id want to tell you how the moon and the sunlight feel
“Now is there anything you wanted?”
Oh god! I’d want to try the moment when sunlight breathes 
 
Yeah
No more
Missed years 
I’m here

Sometimes lately 
I’m feeling like my mind’s eye maybe…
Feeling off 
So off…

My minds eye, hazy, ran through it
But a life line takes me 
I feel it all…
Forward

NU BLUE

MANUAL

Take me through you
I don’t want you holding back right now
And know I mean it too
I make it like I say it sometimes, wow

They gone and fucked me up like
My problems seem to hollow out my time
I know I needed something
It’s usually a fading one time line

Its a fear
What’s on….the mind?
Wanna face this all tonight?

The feeling
It starts just the same

I’ve made it through noon
Where narrow minds have faded I’m on track
It’s like a reflex too new
The usual assailant’s off my back

That’s when I stumbled on mine
The problems seemed to call off, out, sideline
Just knew i needed something
It’s usually faded backtrack and…

It’s a mirror
What’s on….the mind?
Wanna face this all tonight?

THE FEELING IT JUST START JUST THE SAME

Take time, reveal thyself 
I’m in my skin, it feels so grand
I know where I’m gonna chose to stay

And as it goes with the setting sun
And as I face to the morning glow

That’s all I got the sun 
Til the sun stop
That’s all I got the sun 
Til the sun stop

And I thought
Now I’m feeling som’n
Light hugs against my skin

Oh…

That’s all I got 
All I got til the sun stop
That’s all I got
All I got til the sun stop

As it goes…
I’m awake once more, take a breath
Feels good 

Its ok to close your eyes for a little bit
What else are you gonna do today?

And as it goes with the setting sun
And as I make to the morning break

That’s all I got the sun 
Til the sun stop
That’s all I got the sun 
Til the sun stop

THE ANCIENTS

imagine you are wrong
you'd listen to me when i called you dumb
you'd go back to the house and sleep it off
you'd follow through and you would change it all

but i think…

i think you really mean it
you wanna try and leave and
ill keep my hand extended 
just leave that life pretended

you say its all in line and ive heard it before
and we've heard it before
i cant just walk while you lay on the floor
while you lay on floor

i think you really mean it
you wanna try and leave and
ill keep my hand extended 
just leave that life pretended

i cant just walk while you lay on the floor
while you lay on floor
i cant just walk while you lay on the floor
while you lay on floor

and i mean
man i mean it

you should leave it

through your head and back to mine

i said i know, ill tell again they wont go

and again i wont tell you
how i want, for it to be over

im calling it a cycle cause its back more everyday
and the more lay here the more i try to say: ill be fine

and again i wont tell you
how i want, for it to be over

nothing heres fine 
ive seen this about 10000 times
im sweating my life away
throat is dry, eyes just sway

but its up to you now...

Spoken word by Felicia Douglass of Gemma

“What’s on your mind?” That’s all I’m asking you for, a line
When every day fits in your pocket means more arrives

“‘What’s on your mind?’, Well now you’re asking for more. Alright.”
You stay the same, it’s in the fact that you’re more aligned  
Now sun shines on my life 

Like everyday what’s in the pack? Is it more old lies?
To stay the same you’ll fix your back let it mole a while
Well I’m not…

And lately I take too much when I wake up behavior’s lost
On and on the wake swells and when I deem all the stakes fell off 
I’d be out of place when all the fire’s on what things you love
It’s five on five when hate shows up and he’s mumbling…

To be not, want not
Be not, want not

Sideways, always limber on the rocks you brought to save my soles
And I meant all those things I’ve said and I know all those things I owe
While I was out here thinking all these highways get too dangerous
But I lean on my name too much to keep mumbling… 

To be not, want not
Be not, want not

Tell me have you thought it?
Who you are to stay here
Who you are, just say it
Have you thought about it?
