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
03:22

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
|

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

AN EDIBLE PLACE
03:51
|

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
|

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!?

500 STOREYS OF VERTIGO

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

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...
I'M FALLING!!

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
|
|||
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!

sleepless nights
03:05
|
|||
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*)

4 is fate when it's
Square in your face
4 is great when it
Hit with the bass
6 is the gears that I
Shift over years, I could
Grip pavement, dreamland got
Me trip sedatement I
Smoke herb don't shake it it's
Endless, but I bake it
2 sides
To you
9 is like the tails that whip for crime
Taking numbers to a different mind
State inside a dream I'm sure to find
Out waking is like a big rewind
9 in the pocket
Keep time, don't lock it
Mind blown like rockets
Eyes pop from their sockets
Keeping time, dreaming wide, seeking mine
4(6)2(9)0
Forty six thousand two ninety
420 and 69 fit nicely
2 numbers with reputations inside funny spectations on memes and memes on rhymes
Weed and Sex just seem to coincide with all the world wide web pollen spore we find
Yeah, we find
Yeah, we all find
And now I found it
Yeah, that's right. I found it
I found it in my dreams
4(6)2(9)0

LIGHTHOUSE
04:45
|

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
11:35
|

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
