High Up

Lately i've been wondering
if i recall
you correctly
I mean it's just a thought
i'm lost in this silence
had too much
time to ponder
at midnight i wander
around in circles
up these empty streets
just seeking a piece of me
pray these angels within
lead me towards
my sanity
watchin over my shoulders
each word i etch
breathes in and out again
so self conscious
in my consciousness
it's appalling
still aiming to fill these worldly desires
maybe you comprehend
seekin my purest sin
time to weave these pictures
til we meet again
from this high up
i'm sure you see me
from this high up
i'd love to see thee
from this high up
from this high up
expanding my clarity
to feel your presence
never forgot your words
every beautiful syllable you uttered
silence stronger than your conviction
you lived life purely
from this high up
i'm sure you see me
from this high up
i'd love to see thee
from this high up

Follow Me

exchange frames
with the same rate
it took to subscribe to you
where my passion is new
like the blue leaves
that intertwine in you
where I am but an ant
in the vast
world you calibrated
leave me with breath
and without breath
in each incantation
I seep out
knowing I wouldn't exist
if not without
sacrifice
from the holiest of holy
to my ancestors
I'm still mourning
so many will never be seen
I like to think
I hold a part of them
in each thought process
I drink
serum to my insecurities
surmounting thru pressure
where life is but a rose
as I kiss this concrete
I grew from
caressing each tattered petal
salvaging morning dew
to rehydrate
rolling thru
this haze
just hoping you'll guide my way
and she sings
and she sings
follow me follow me
follow me
and she sings
and she sings
follow me follow me
follow me
i am but a fossil of what once was
the dinosaur
you seek to find worth in
collecting my bones
as if my marrow will give you eternal youth
well thats a different type of plague
what's it to you?
and she sings
and she sings
follow me follow me
follow me

Found God In The Desert
00:41

found God in the desert/
where she replanted my love/
took my heart to galaxy
now I float
as bees to these
sweet flowers blossom
brought up one way
divided it & conquered
move about this terrain
with just one stuck on my brain
tell me when things changed
no response said my bird
where it had long been
lead to believe itself a loner
i found God in this desert
asked if she remembered
heaven
told her mi viejita
visited me after she departed
claiming there was no Son
woke up hallucinating
Satan after my soul
so I sleep in shadows
fight him at his own game
whilst I keep praying

Quite Right
01:51

blessed but I'm cursed
god stole my safety
big bad world
running away
Til I'm empty but um
picture this
stealing my pops gun
running around
with no safety on
taking bets
with which side of me
gonna take the venom off
walked up to
you to see me
in your eyes
took a step back
and realized
we was one
do no harm
to our connection
but this pain in me
like nails in a coffin
no lie
I'm lost
in
sorrow
uplift and rewind
pause
that coming of tomorrow
dwindling in my fist
exists a hand
I can't fathom
like
where have I gone?
these bottles
don't fit me quite right
drink 'em Til my blood stops
swimming with this metronome
there emits
a portion of my infrastructure
from she i was born
it's just like
like like like like
la da da da da
la la la la la
it's just like
la da da da daaa
la la la laaaaa laaa
i the concrete
restricting my growth
from petals torn to pieces
my destiny stole
grandfather owl
sung me sweet melodies
of how the west once a child
tell me steer clear of greed
watch those who follow me
judas hides in sheeps cloth
virgin linens
disguise his cheap talk
said you'll see no manifestation
from sidelines see him lose his soul
for what you once loved
will devour you whole
it's just like
like like like like
la da da da da
la la la la la
it's just like
la da da da daaa
la la la laaaaa laaa

Feel Alive

verse 1
I grew up with a free heart and a free mind/ shackled by all my father never did and ever did/ all at the same time/ now these words of wisdom be like words of sin/ generate a spirit from within this chaos/ she said its beauty on all sides / of this matrix / i almost lost myself there/ had to navigate through the sahara/even though my spirit called me back to the Bay, I/ found way to mingle with Los Angeles/ and since she left this plane, I/ found new ways to live through pain still/but they killing eye/ to steal my control
Hook:
If you feel alive/then why let them kill you/
so many speak of peace/but carry a piece/
if you feel alive/then why let them steal you/
power is the true currency/
[control your soul]
verse 2
got this fire on my tongue/been growing again/picked the flower that grew hatred/
access my third sight/third eye multiple divinity/i am no one in my heart
but an imagination translated into action/change direction/navigate thru traffic/
counting down 'til my oblivion/whilst I try to count these blessings
push me closer to higher powers/ to feel closer to you
my visions growing stronger now/
how all these demons play like angels
but they killing eye/ to steal my control
Hook:
If you feel alive/then why let them kill you/
so many speak of peace/but carry a piece/
if you feel alive/then why let them steal you/
power is the true currency/
[control your soul]
