lyrics

like i am water
my heart is for you

hands caress
it felt like hot water on the back of my neck
i don't rest, i don't guess
i don't know what's ahead
and summer's never long if you know when it ends
i can't be what you need
this is not a hold out
don't know how to slow down
bottles on the floor now
we're at the end of the holocene
roots burning awfully
my current epoch defined by weed, wine, and probably's
stay burrowed in my pages
baby what you readin?
is surrendered to the air without a pilate slowly veering off course
of course i had my reasons
but things fall apart and timshel shines like east of eden
alright i get it
i don't need you

my granny smokin pyramids
i don't know what to make of this
growth is comes in increments
and light i see when least expected
the leaves are still green i guess i'll take it as, i'm blessed
i could never tell you know
but you can smell it on my breath

i don't fear the past
i been sleeping with my shadow
i can't trust a man
most are dogs
i already got one
harvest came in light another summer spent lost and jaded
roaming through this haze
i spent october rolling spliffs
like what's it cost to dare to try?
my footclan in demand like seats on fhloston paradise
you're full of lies like mayor light(foot)
september 9
these freckles showing
gingerly applied
angel kissed despite that lack of love in my ancestral line

(break)

i was inhaling earth in the morning
sunlight creeping through the cracks between the curtain the windowsill
if it's real then it's real
wake up to a ceiling i don't recognize
head throbbing
last night we quartered limes to mask agave times
my thoughts running and running circles on the line
you were so tired
i was so right
didn't even know what i had before it died
this an effigy of my shadow
lost hearts in battle
floating down these tears with no paddle
you want to dive into love i can't drown when it's shallow
