Turn it back, I'm floating
Don't even know where I'm going
Already said that in a song,
and now I'm just gloating
I'm doing well in life I guess
but I don't even feel like I'm growing
Don't even feel like Origami
but man I'm unfolding
I'm expanding but the days are lonely
Don't feel like anyone wants to know me
I'm just making all these beats
and mix and master on my sony's
I'm Writing all these lyrics
my mic says "man, you owe me!!!"
I Don't know how to respond to that
so man I'm just zoning
and I'm breathing and living
simply a heathen who's driven
combat my demons with visions
and I'm vehemently different
come to the green tea cafe
the green tea cafe
help yourself to our endless buffet
I can't use enough words to ever convey
how much this place takes my troubles away
I spend more time gazing at the moon than my path right here ahead of me
I'll look back down and I'll act all surprised when I realize that I'm seventy
I gotta hurry up and stop this shit
but I wanna leave the earth on a rocketship
I never ever wanna come back to this
To live on earth you gotta be a masochist
I wanna live on mars, I wanna live on europa
very chilly better go grab your coat bruh
try my best to avoid a soda
because I give myself a very minimal quota
you ever played a game of leauge or dota?
discovered people ain't got shit to owe ya
it's all just part of the meta
Good thing I can do it better
haha, but not really tho
but I wish I could go get the gold
much like my shitty analogy
I just play life so fucking casually
I log in and I log off
Delete my account and blog scoff
then drown myself in molotovs
then clear my throat with a cough

I'm in a routine
and I know cannot afford it
you know what this means?
that I am caught in orbit
but that does not matter
because I will escape soon
I'll ingnite all my thrusters
and I'll escape for the moon
everything I ever try to say
ends up just getting washed away
usually with the tears of yesterday
it doesn't take much to investigate
how much I'm filled up with hate
how much I wanna waste away
Hey girl, your scent is heavenly;
I just leveled my demon hunter to seventy
You and I both know you're no where near pedigree
nor am I, so you really know that this was meant to be
yeah, meant to be over just in two weeks
once you realize I am an asshole and bleak
oh cool, oh well, c'est la vie
that's just how life goes and fucking treats me
I'm certain I'll never want to learn pottery
but I hope that people really don't try to bother me
when I check and realize that I've won the lottery
I hope my 3rd cousins won't ever be calling me
I don't want to buy a house in beverily hills
and I don't ever want to start popping pills
I don't care how good it steadily feels
just anything other than mopping spills
I'm a fucking college dropout with no ambition
basically a white kid who can't stop bitchin
Oh well I'll just be Nvidia's Slave
watching every single day just waste away
to be completely honest man, I don't care
I'll sit here day after day and stare
at my two monitors, being a loser
pretty much store my life on a Cruzer
I rap and I talk like I'm depressed
but it's times like this when I'm at my best
because I look up and I say "fuck the rest"
ignore the world, get it off my chest
even tho I know I can't repress
I have to accept that I'm the best

(:12)I don't know where to go from here
I only know how to dissapear
Hey you, how's it goin?
I want you to know you're my ocean
I'm lost at sea
You're lost from me
But it's okay
cause' I'll find my way
I really don't know where to go from here
catch myself thinking of yesteryear
spend too much of my time writing or dwelling
never know whats worth hiding or telling
But I'll find my way, and I'll do well
I'll never say what I don't have to tell
have a house but I'm homeless
and I have brain but I'm souless
and I know you don't notice
but I often feel hopeless
and I know you don't know this
anxiety makes me boneless
And now I'm Lost
I feel so lost
and now I'm Lost
I feel so lost
I don't know where to go from here
I only know how to dissapear
Hey you, how's it goin?
I want you to know you're my ocean
I'm lost at sea
You're lost from me
But it's okay
cause' you'll find your way
CH 1:
This song makes me feel safe
like memories on Kodachrome X3
This song makes me feel safe
like memories of going home X1
going home, going home

you gave me all of you and I gave you all of me
just to get a piece of you that I can't get off of me
you fucking ruined me you fucking ruined me
and now I travel on just searching for the key
got out of bed, put on my set of armor
and equiped myself for any battle
but even tho I only get by in this life as a charmer
its hard to deal with the rattle
and I'm a disaster, I don't know how to go faster
Afraid of forward, don't wanna go backwards
I'm stuck here with my luster-lack words
The beat's playing, and I'm hearing these loops
and I'm throwing on these armored boots
and when the snare hits I'm putting on gauntlets
and the beat pulls out my true conscience
but the true words are a little obnoxious
so I pull it back so that you can knock this
At least that's the shit that I tell myself
I pull it back because I need help
Damn near gave myself a bad review on yelp
because those the cards I have been dealt
and now I have deal with it all by myself
My life isn't doing any better than y'all's
I'm The Death Star, blowing up because of my flaws
CH
just what do I write those songs about?
I'm glad you asked, because without a doubt
I could go on and on forever and ever
just talking on and on about my own endeavors
the words I'm saying aren't even all that clever
it just helps me out and makes me feel even better
so excuse me please, I'm just about to vent
I can't believe you went and fucking ran off with him
what am I saying? I'm not surprised, not one bit
You are not the type of person that wants to commit
neither am I, but I did it all for us
love is a lie you that tell yourself for lust
that's the hard truth, that no one wants to speak
A day hasn't gone by where I feel weak
and I haven't stayed in bed for a whole week
I don't know why happiness comes and goes
but now that you're gone in comes in troves
I just hope that my travels take me down new roads
now I'm focused on the music I try to make
and I'm trying to forget that two year mistake

Rapping is hard because I don't like to boast
the only kind of beef that I really like is roast
I need extra mayo, but never no mustard
you'll gawk at the proper sandwiches that I muster
I take a shot of jack for my Tennessee heritage
love my city, Green Hills to Hermitage
aw hell, I'll even throw in Brentwood
I'll be there someday if my money is spent good
but my basic ass wastes it all on starbucks
buy me a latte if you're feeling star struck
but please for real, my bank account is sinking
because I buy shit that I'm not needing
but I need it more than anyone knows
cause' my car is fine, but it's a bumpy road
and here we go again, back to the jack
it reminds me of home and it helps me relax
and I can't help the way that I often react
because I am the only one who raps on these tracks
perfection is all of one's perception
collaboration helps avoid obsession
that's why my catalog is so small
because I've held it too close for way too long
I've finally learned that I'm only human
new things will help me avoid confusion
I'm only earthly
I'm only earthly
I'm only earthly
some acts that I commit are very self-destructive
I feel like everything I do is non-productive
constantly clenching my teeth so tightly
because of the things that stress me nightly
The things I say indicate that I'm mighty
and if you oppose that idea then fight me
I like to think that I am as tough as the avatar
but in reality I'm just in line at the salad bar
It just goes to show I'm not what I think
and when you look me in the eyes, it makes me sink
we had a conversation for an hour or two
and I just sat in my car after thinking it thru
Am I simply ennamoured by unattainable?
or is the way you make me feel sustainable?
but either way I know that I'm gonna pursue it
yeah, even tho I know that I really shouldn't do it
and in the end when our waves come together, crashing
I wonder if this will be worth all of the passion
and whether or not it turns out that I am worthy
at the end of it all I'm only
I'm only earthly
I'm only earthly
I'm only earthly
