Back when everything was second nature
I used to frolic in fields with no destination
climbing the curtains, bring the dirt in, running tiny acres
I found the pen and I was cold like sipping echinacea
living a myth because it was bliss and it was revelation
through the eclipse and abyss, we were banging tables
before this time on my neck, I was blessed with flavour
before the depression had hit, I went to wishful places
now I’m tied with the night, this contorted chamber
God rained and kissed my forehead, my mission statement
what happened to those kids you saving
now it’s all about the situation
which fix you dating
how quick’s sedating
what’s those sins you laid in
come let's talk about the past and all those wins you weighed in
if it’s a phrase then give praise for what the seasons made us
my face looking like some seasoned pages
heated debates with a rock in some same hard places
swaying leafs in the trees said to keep my patience
we’re just prepping you to meet your maker
and maybe you could be more grateful
maybe be more gracious
here I go
stuck in the city was supposed to blow
in the lows, chokehold, the chose become frozen
maybe I should relocate shit
maybe I could see more faces
maybe meet my greatness
yeah
I started in search of some permanence
I got curbed and it curdled with turbulence
blurting this burdenous sermon
it’s me again
lurk in dark where the vermin is
with the calm of a psalm and he hurling it
through the air to the waters, the murkiest
show mercy the merciless
back when the hurt was impervious
we started telling our stories
of walls that are doors when they’re Jerhico falling
this world it ain’t for me
I need me a jury
find me somewhere
finding something
find me something
someone find me
find me somewhere yeah
finding something yeah
find me something
someone find me
Still I’m holding my pity
I’m anxious and quivering
lanky and witty
my dividends
my words have been brilliant
forged from obsidian
I failed and wailed like Gideon
I’m going away for a minute
because time’s just a blink of an eye
I’ve got millions
triggers and mirrors
thorn in my side, my Achilles heel
it gets real insidious
my bro said this life was a mural
I wish it was plural
I’d do it all over again
running around in these lands
with a pocket of sand
the universe a hop of the fence
back when I had a friend to call
see now it’s all deplorable
but it’s all in my head
why you asleep at the tip of my tongue
when the blossom is red and the money all spent
yeah when money's all spent
when you do the right thing but those people still leave
now you’re left here just cleaning your sheets of the secrets you keep
and that meat in your teeth
so I hope that we meet in my sleep
when the bills coming in but my clout running out
there’s no upping my fee, wipe the dust off my feet
and I sleep with my sword
put no trust in my dreams
nah
I started in search of some permanence
I got curbed and it curdled with turbulence
blurting this burdenous sermon
it’s me again
lurk in dark where the vermin is
with the calm of a psalm and he hurling it
through the air to the waters, the murkiest
show mercy the merciless
back when the hurt was impervious
we started telling our stories
of walls that are doors when they’re Jerhico falling
this world it ain’t for me
I need me a jury
find me somewhere
finding something
find me something
someone find me
find me somewhere yeah
finding something yeah
find me something
someone find me
