tired 04:17
lyrics

Its 10:00 pm and I'm back with my friends Outside, its warm the firelight shining on my skin My lids grow heavy, I think back to every time this happens Why can't I be like a kid again? Why can't I? Feel all the energy stored in this world for just one damn night I'll never be the same Why can't I? Feel all the envy and greed and suffering, seething These things will only bring me shame Why can't I? Open my eyes for a chance to be heard, or at least to go learn to break these bolted chains Why can't I? Take a whole day to clean up right away It'll feel like an upgrade so don't drift away Why can't I? Just stay awake for one night to be sure it was right But I'm so CHORUS Tired Tired I don't wanna go to my bed, but damn I'm always Tired Tired I can't concentrate in my head because I'm feelin' Tired Tired I need to get some sleep so badly because I'm feelin' tired ~ It's 12:00 am And I say goodbye to the friendly faces occupying lawn fold chairs I roll back home and run down to the basement Pull my comforter up to my small chin hairs Why can't I? Just stay awake for one night to be sure it was right (CHORUS) Come to the bed now my child (Your eyes must feel so weak) Peace in your mind all the while (Your time has come, to sleep) Goodnight

Ordinary day Soaring through this place Ooooooo Some thing is rumbling in the... Basement the space place that I come to chase in Chasin dreams basically gotta be what I see in them Hypnotic psychedelic forgot microphone relic come be freein them Something is rumbling and I... Wake up, bake up, what the fuck is that shake up There is something gone astray on this ordinary day Suppose I'll make brekkie Come check me, cause I'm so stressied Something is rumbling in the... Sky wave goodbye world, raining upside down Sound claps, earth cracks, trees snap, nothings found of 'em Black holes open up the sky crashing down We got clowned Something is rumbling on this... Ordinary Day Wind Blows Back And then forward Win Dows Break Corner to corner Walk Out Side Body's ripping Atom to Atom Strung in sequence And then I was dead And saw the face of God And I was blinded by it Blinded by its pure saturation of beauty And there I began to see everything to exist now, in the past, and infinitely forever For it was projected upon my eyelids on this ORDINARY DAY

SUPERHERO 04:32
lyrics

Landed dreamland Got the power to stir the sea and draw a typhoon Probably being a superhero got me feelin' like a tycoon Flying high above the mountain Spouting a countless rhyme plume Dreaded feeling gotta defeat another villain's rhyme too ... There he comes, flying fast through the clouds Two powers will meet One goes down Flying fists passing fast through the clouds Two meet with the gut One with crown Foe in skies sees the ground coming fast Falling with your feet in it's back Earth it closes and craters are formed Villain no more ... Was no sweat, I just bested the nextest mans in the test and Could not bet on anybody but the SUPER ME BEST YAH Taking cover, there's no beacon Grab me some SUPER REST YAH ... (BEACON SOUNDS) Oh shit, guess it's time to get up! Whoa now I gotta go and save the world Too many foes for this weak mind If only it was a dream (well it is, really) Wake up Rise and shine

FOOD Back in dreamland 'cause I'm cravin' for some munchin' FOOD On my mind so get ta get ta get ta stuffin' FOOD Take croissants and wash them down with Keen's Hot Mustard FOOD Muffin pan, I'm planning on croissanthemuffins Take me away to an edible place Bake me real quick Eat my head And chomp my... WHOOPS! FOOD Back in the act of eating 'cause I'm needing what is feeding ME Standing in pools of hot sauce. Onion ring toss on a sausage BUN Makes up my bed of bread. Eat an alcove where my head rests and I'm DONE Not with the eating. Still feeding, but I'm sure to be dead from the... Take me away to an edible place Food just wont fit Scratch my head And EAT MY SHIT FOOD Bite after bite, consuming me until I'm swollen FOOD Mouthful of pie gunna die. Getting round until I'm rollin' FOOD Squeezin' hard, a little morsel. Hear me SCREAM FOOD Bile explosion got me tearing at the seams Fooooooooooooooooooeeeeeeeeeee heeeee heeee heee Fooooooooooooooooooooooood Take me away to an edible place Bake me real quick Eat my head And chomp my DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK ... And then it happened. Fully consumed myself into myself... exploding And then... shat back into existence. I had become food. Not literally but nutritionally. I'm a healthy choice, So eat the sound up!! ... FOOD mmmmmmmmm FOOD mmmmmmmmm FOOD mmmmmmmmm FOOD mmmmmmmmm Take me away to an edible place Feed me some wit With that noise That dreamer shit

REALIZATION 06:48
lyrics

I see you I see you In my dream You're my dream You see me You see me In my dream You're my dream Why can't I shake this dream? It would seem impossible Ordinary Day 'till she sway on the scene It's unstoppable I see you and you seem out of place, standing out from the haze You see me, talking neat, and I think, "what a beautiful face!" CHORUS DAMN Realization's a bitch DAMN Can't control when I wanna get hitched DAMN Slap to the face. Flick of the switch DAMN Gotta flow 'till the feels get ditched ~ Keep you by my side for the night Like a partner in crime Flip a COIN you're a DIME HEADS turn when you walk with the firm strut Talk with the words that disperse into rhymes TAILS say that many men come and yearn, with the words so deceptive submerged in their lies COINED a phrase for you, it is true: WISDOM AND BEAUTY ARE PRESERVED IN THOSE EYES (CHORUS) I see you I see you In my dream You're my dream You see me You see me In my dream You're my dream Love is an interesting thing that is bound to us all Love can be not what you want, but you're still bound to fall Love can come at random time frames, places too Love dreams aren't anomalies, so face it fool (CHORUS) I see you in my dream You see me in my dream ... I sometimes sit and think at night why dreams come in and steal my right to choose when I feel certain ways about things and people I see day by day. And when I feel like I have the answer another dream comes prancing in. Enticing like a lavish dancer. Oh will this dream binge everrrrrrrr END!?

Scenario, it's scary but I'm merry though We're very high: 500 storeys Its very dope/distracting when you keep attracting me I'm strapped in, locking the doorway to the bedroom Said you was in mood to get to bed to get to head to get to head boards slammin' against the walls in this appallingly gigantic mansion skyscraper in my head Ooooooo Skyscraper in my head 500 Storeys of Love 500 Storeys of.. We Mario, we playin' games in scary scenarios to the rooftop We started playin' tennis and betting any second that me and you drop No guard rails in this court, serving balls to the sky Can't believe it, must be dreamin' Surely hope I don't fly Ooooooo Skyscraper in my head 500 Storeys of Fear 500 Storeys of Fear FeAr Wind Blows Push Pull Bal- -Ance Is Thrown ... The wind keeps growing stronger No longer my body is in control I'm thrown in the direction I'm not supposed to go Racket in hand, following the path of small spherical fuzzy green white rubber seamed counterparts that went beforehand I've got one destination now I'm hurtling, I'm spinning I'm falling...

CATACOMBS OBSCURE 03:37
lyrics

I'm Dead ~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~ ~ I'M DEAD Yeah, I'm dead Look what I said, Look what I done, but I just run away instead Gotta get back, take a blind path to a place that we call light Stumbling forward or backward Tearing dark curtains, seeing light BUT I'M DEAD Can't be dead Is it me, or does it feel like it's just going on in my head? Can I just reach and touch fleeting reality in the shadows, or will I become one with beings of catacombs? DEAD They're all dead Everything around me now Must escape, must be found Better feeling that this place is imaginary, don't fret 'Cause I'm betting that reality got me nestled in bed DEAD? I'm not dead Gonna break through to a new light, and punch death in his face Run a stake through his puny heart, kick his ass out into space If you let death hold you back then you're a lifeless disgrace I'm not dead I'll find a way out Where do I go now? ... Made it out alive to a place that's not quite right Nightmarish landscapes occupying my damned mind No choice but to trudge on now through dreams so obscure Keep on holding on 'till I find peace through a cure

DISTURBATION 03:59
lyrics
buy track
Yo, I'm back in dreamland but it's so bleak like a nightmarish scene, so naive Like a child, or a teen, not knowing what they're in for, but also not knowing what they're in for must be ignored... So it goes it goes it goes it goes like a guillotine choppin my head down to my toes For the thrill it seems, got a death grip on the darkness Spark this joint, taking pills just seem heartless... Let's start this: Teeth fallin out of my mouth, spittin blood clots, get cooped up inside of the house Feelin like I gotta run, drop, and hide from something Now its like I'm paralysed and know I'm gunna die... Like I'm trapped in a car with a stuck throttle, so bizarre got my hand on the bottle Can't control my own motto, spend it all on the lotto, lose it all, then I drown and get found in the grotto... Disturbation Disturbation is wreaking havoc on my dreams Dark thoughts living, inhabiting my dreams Yo, shovelling snow, stumble and fall, getting buried, packed in, my breath is nearly stalled So appalled with the pinched wind pipe in my throat, like a clogged vac bag, wheeze till my lungs explode... Summer time, cutting grass, wouldn't guess that the tractor hit a large rock and shattered glass Shrapnel pass through my temple, see nothing, bleeding out, worst fears are my bout... I'm vomiting with the propulsion of a comet. Can't stop if I wanted to. Living where I wanna poo Paper cuts in between my fingers: These are nightmares that linger in my voice when I'm a singer... Tore a seam in my belly, so obscene when the jelly that comes out looks like O's of spaghetti I'm ready though so I keep on tearing at my flesh. No contest to these fucked up rests... Disturbation Disturbation is wreaking havoc on my dreams Dark thoughts living, inhabiting my dreams Gonna get the fuck out of this place, was tucked in the space of the basement. Displacement of my thoughts to a better scenario, not scary though, more like topped with a cherry: HOPE And I'm freee When you open your... eyes You will be greeted with a sur... prise Wake up, it's the only choice that's... wise Get up 'cause your friends will change your life ah

It's 9:00 am And I'm awake again I see my friends and one extends out his gracious hand He hands me a tiny paper quadrilateral It's perforated and colourful at glance Under Tongue Hour Passed And I feeeeeeeeel Like this is a new place Got blasted off the face My pores are stars in space And I feeeeeeeeel My hairs are rising to the cosmos Flavours Osmow's couldn't cop and rob me of bad thoughts And I feeeeeeeeel Like every time I pin it down, I start to laugh indescribably Searching for the nouns And I feeeeeeeeel When I sit down in the hammock, I almost panic but then relax when I can understand that I am One with everything One in nature's swing One with everyone One who's life's begun When I felt One with everything One in nature's swing One with everyone One who's life's begun Its 12:00 pm And I sit staring at kaleidoscopic clouds that shift the plates in the sky My sweater breathes The lake goes waterfalling Light beams soar through the trees, and I don't wonder why When I seeeeeeeee The different colour patterns in the carpet forming scattered sorted layers in the dark When I seeeeeeeee The friendly faces thinking on my level walking past with shimmering glances and a giggle 'cause we're All in everything All in nature's swing All in everything All in nature's swing And then it was bedtime when I came down Time for some rest again

GHOSTLY PHOTONS 03:41

I lay in bed Cold shakes, cold sweat Turn my head See a glow From the hall Feel the dread Then I... Shudder at the sight of illuminated walls, then I Start to wonder if this is really what I'm seeing at all, then I Raise my head from my bed, sinking to my fears instead of Being a superhero, rippin' off the sheets, run ahead and Now I'm laying here, refusing to move, but I be prayin' clear: God please help me, I wanna be sheltered but cannot be staying here Sitting up, I can see that the glow is getting closer. I hold my breath Leaning forward as the ghostly photons take their next step It's almost here. I'm leaning and peeking and aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! aahaahaahaahAAHAAHAAHAAHUUHUUM Holy shit! What did I just see? Was it really human being? Or was it one of those things from catacombs obscene? Obscuration of a person, looked like a little girl Making a noise so frightening that I just wanna hurl Staying under the covers now, I close my eyes Plug my ears, I'm shaking, just praying for no more surprises in sizes such as the last one I don't want it I just want fun times in a place where I can forget this ghostly face I think it's gone now My hands unfurl, my breath it slows, my muscles relax, I'm feeling calm, I'm feeling aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! MUUHUUHAAHAAHAAHAAhaahaahaahaahaahaa It was just a dream!

It's 4:00 am And I can't sleep 'cause my head is filled with images of ghostly photons I dread The room, it shimmers from the moonlight Whispers in the woods, they carry to a place in my head And I'm gone Yeah I'm gone What if now is the most important time? Pure reflection Mirror rhyme Scheming for some more dreaming taking up my life Pure inception, plants in the mind Got an idea blooming of an unknown kind Pure progression Pushing the fire to a new heat Seeking out the words to revive Pure collection, catching the vibes When you fight Sleepless nights Look inside Clear your mind Feeling tired Gonna retire Clear your mind for Sleep (*yawn*)

Pow! Popped into dreamland I'm walking and talking with family. We're on a trail, winding through the trees The thoughtscapes A new realization and sensation that I'm dreaming and controlling every outcome of the scene We walk and talk about the animals inhabiting every actual habitatual stall in this green life Turn the corner on the border of this wooded area. In hysteria when we happen upon this tall house of light A lighthouse on the lake is the spectacle, as we gaze through the haze of dream space I'm at peace, my own pace I face a grip I must behold, where I control Contort the mould, but first I gotta push to recognise my lighted goal Reaching for control Lighthouse gives the glow I keep on path to the light, but might get passed I'd gas with all my might but the dream fights back I say screw this and I push through mist barriers Open the door to the stairs, but took the ladder cause its scarier And faster, bout to master the lucid state I'm after Ass backwards they got it when they said I was a bastard For being so concerned about this lighthouse trip So I'm reaching a reason before they write out wit Lighthouse gives the glow Reaching for control Reaching for control And now I'm here, and I'm there Completely everywhere, within every molecule in my body I've gained control and now I'm steering the course I fly from the lighthouse and land in the water I submerge I can breathe Underwater The thoughtscapes come to life

Thoughtscapes appear when I wish I just can't believe how hard it is to explain to you When you're just a figment of my mind Time is nothing, you're not real in this world Climb with me to a height so high this dream unfurls ... I climb out from the water My thoughts are bricks To build a world in my mind, it's full of tricks and licks that I spit Gonna get Super powers and food showers 'cause that's lit My rhymin' power level flower when I smoke it And when I don't it's like the flower gone and choke-ed It's just a joke, I do not falter in a state Sobriety just got me writing more deranged Realization give me feelings un-natural Using it to build a skyward habitatual Place at which I fall to my death But I come back 'cause I controlled my rest Yeah, I controlled my rest Gotta control my rest ... Gotta control my rest Now Spinning in sounds Feelin' like cloud Master of dream More than it seem Can't live it down Wearing the crown So much control and power got me down Down to go far Opposite of found Town after town Spittin' my thoughtscapes at you, get your thoughtstraight Your sound is common like a cancerous prostate I hook hard Don't talk bait ass ramblings 'cause you're gambling with no chance of damaging my name I'm still in my dreams and I know it, I shift reality, everyone takes notice, I scream and Run away run away Into the sound Run away run away Don't let them drown you out Went to find me and I found me out Running the scene is a dream that's so freeing so I rhyme about DREAMS I find myself sinking into a state of fear From the feeling of knowing what I see is not here I wanna wake up, but with every pinch and slap I keep trudging in the abyss of my mind now tapped Free My New Mind Lost In Space Time Whoa now Feeling so exposed and low down This dream keeps go go going I can't control it's slow slow slowing Whoa now I gotta go and save the world That's it I'm loose, LET'S WHIRL ... Now I'm leaving my dreams Feel the hand of waking worlds take me to the light I'm alright now, I'll be up today Warmth of blankets puncture through the dream so dim The love of all my friends and family settles in

It's 5:00 am And I open my eyes The basement glows with light that pierces through open blinds I'm finally awake The dawn forever calling me out from my dreams I think back to recall And they're gone ... Yo, I can't remember I can't remember what my mind is trying to censor I'm on the fence, or tip of the tongue My song is sung, or was it whole album strung through my mind's hum hmmmmmmm What. Do. You. Know. That. I. Don't. Know. I. Don't. Know. That. What. You. Do. Know. I'm free From every dream that surrounds me I wish I could just recall them But instead I just get fragments So I write it out in Song To Teach You Real Life Ish Use ... Free Dreams Flee Me ... Yo, I can't remember I can't remember the heavenly bender That tossed me through the creative views of my mind Spread for me so thin that I lose Or do I win in the end? With the pen that surrendered the story so vague Is it pretend? Natta 'Cause now it spread like butta with a hot knife pen Or the smoke from a hot nail shatta My brother and sister Thanks for coming with me on a mindful journey Wanna see what the real me hold for the future I salute ya You and I We could fix the world with a suture Get some rest, get more ideas Clear your thoughtscapes for demolition, and I'm wishing I just wish for my real life to reflect this Overcome and Conquer
