Im turning in when my neighbors start waking up Decrease the chances that we'll have to talk Too preoccupied for dialogue chock it up to the drugs Shouldn't that make me wanna share the love Dismissed with a shrug appraise the green crumbs Stuck to the mug filled with orange juice Knowing loneliness will soon ensue I'm hitting snooze on the alarm that was set for high noon I stole a book on how to meditate it went straight to the shelf An eager student who will never learn himself Wide eyed yet never surprised a deep chuckle Still don't have a belt for my Marlboro buckle I do have the subtle 5 o'clock somewhere stuble Spending my entire paycheck to remain humble The reason why I never travel too far Waking up asking dude where's my karma Buying mama a rose bush for her garden Set the bar to low Stuck in limbo Choppers shake the windows Thats the city's crescendo Let the wildflowers grow and I will pick the petals She yearns for me She yearns for me not Ashing the tree in the brown clay pot She yearns for me she yearns for me not Hand in hand down the twisted sidewalk She yearns for me And maybe she doesn't Ain't talking bout love Just some feelings erupting

As long the sunshine glow, that garden will grow Mowing down busch, mowing down busch in the beer garden Laying down hoes, laying down hoes when the party started Flower bed ridden, flower bed ridden in the beer garden Up root, purge, Up root, purge, and begin to blossom I'll take a bouquet for the walk home Tossing empty flowers at signs off road Finally have a number I can call my own Blame all my problems on my cellphone Before it died it was an anchor weighing me down My favorite textures Paper in my palm, squares on my tongue Cherry knocked a trap house and forgot to run Never caught off guard when the cops come Who cares what the pig meant when he mentioned our pigment Mandatory break when partying in 3rd shift When those boars split and get thick in the jungle That's our cue to get fungal trip but don't stumble Anything i build is destined to crumble Inspiration from rubble Catching moonshine by the jar full In comparison our whole worlds unparalleled Another round of ups and downs Chasing each other on the carousel Watermelon eyes turn to rinds, drink from the garden eat the sunshine Watermelon eyes wither on the vines, drink from the garden eat the sunshine We're cruising cloaked by the rotation Young as night speakers bump, heads bang, stars are swaying Drop the atlas, crossing lines taking chances The skies a blank canvas Painted in my mind to reflect the times before we're abandoned No matter the gravity I'm still keg standing rolling lefties one handed Speeding round getting lost 2010 dancing Car pool to a dive bar drown in booze catch some cooties Leave wasted case craving These lefties are tight Some lucy in my right Nike Follow my shoes never think just do it Floating through the music under the influence In the whip lashing past the traps of Saint Louis Dawn run to buy 20 pounds of fluid before these animals turn human Lets burn some buddha where its bright and shaded watermelon eyes in the rotation Night after night Time after time Drink from the garden eat the sunshine Watermelon eyes turn to rinds, drink from the garden eat the sunshine Watermelon eyes wither on the vines, drink from the garden eat the sunshine

Burning drift wood and seaweed tossing seashells and frisbee Burning drift wood and seaweed tossing seashells and frisbee The ultra violets radiate and rays split the heartache Days quake under folding waves the earths rolled in white grape Love is a bait Trying to catch me a break They wanna cast me away They wanna lead me astray They wanna toss me away A daisy in a rose petal bay I spot the beams the light houses reach Pulled with the breeze the ocean breathes The shores screams The ebb erodes A jagged moan and from the foam we morph we form And from the ground we're grown we're torn Inherit the inclement weather An heir to the storm We all bury treasure We all learn to mourn And when it builds up we thrash and we sink When it falls down we're back at the beach Burning drift wood and sea weed tossing seashells and frisbee Yeah We are the blossoms on the reef Blowing in the breeze Your mind at ease Watching the world spin Always traveling Although I've never moved Its the season of leaving roots Follow the stream of conscious You know its the only option To brave through that storm in this roaring down pour Can you hear the calling Whether its wind tide or wave Its all natures tirade Its all natures tirade Behave nevermore Obey nevermore How could a seed from the forrest reach upon the shore Lets change the way we think we owe it all to the trees and Those who sign for peace always showing <3 To drift all this way Lighten the shade Kung fu dark days and brighten those faces Yeah We are the blossoms on the reef Blowing in the breeze Ya mind at ease

Roaring in the wind she's a dandelion On the lam in a wilderness of silence On the lam and its never been so quiet On the lam and its never been so quiet She's a bell flower ringing through the moonlight On the lam and its never been so quiet On the lam and its never been so quiet On the lam in a wilderness of silence She's an iris in the glittering horizon On the lam in a wilderness of diamonds On the lam and its never been so vibrant On the lam and its never been so vibrant

One day it will all come crashing down The galaxy is swollen the sun is stolen the sky is fallin Lost in a wilderness of diamonds the sky is fallin Balling before forgotten were going all in the sky is fallin Orbiting sunflowers theres satellites in the garden Collecting stars out the treetops, I knew it was coming I knew it was coming Suffering titan is rotten and rusted No wonder the sky is fallin Universe has no architect its never been well constructed Showing no caution never looked where I was running Grew a rose from a compass until i had a dozen Pawned a handful for the 7th trumpet Boozing and buskin playing scales on the summit Smile on my face a lil something in my pockets Y'all can thank me for the view to the apocalypse Deadleaf brings the apocalypse Y'all can thank me y'all can thank me Lets never stop dancing in the aurora So many crashing constellations baby its gorgeous Lets never stop dancing in this wilderness of diamonds Exospheres on fire, ethers spiraling and its never been so vibrant Lets never stop dancing in this wilderness of diamonds Can you hear the sirens singing our song till the break of a dawn that will never come Drinking cups from the fountain all night long and i feel so young Spirits high even when the worlds coming down Walking on clouds laughing running round Ain't enough sand to sit and stress wondering Whats next and how much is left and How much is right Some people waste their life searching for the light And once they find it its too bright to witness Life is too long to flash in minutes Picking pieces that will never form a whole and it feels so And not everything is meant to be understood And it feels so It feels so Good
