It's only what you make, so don't make it what you ain't
Who's lookin' at you today?
You're missing the principle if you track another take
Who's watching you anyway?
But you've been living on the fast-forward baby, breath
You need to slow down
I guess you don't know what you asked for baby, breath
You need to slow down
Why isn't it so easy, so easy to
To recognize the meanings I'm beaming to you
Cause every time you see me, you're seeing through
Why isn't it so easy, so easy
Turns out we're all just falling, through the air no parachute
Good news, there's no ground below to crash into
The earth's not getting bigger
The everlasting blue
Is all I wanna scream into
Why isn't it so easy, so easy to
To recognize the meanings I'm beaming to you
Cause every time you see me, you're seeing through
Why isn't it so easy, so easy

Darkness Of The Night

Leaving in the darkness of the night
I barely need a reason for me leaving him behind
If he wont treat me right then, alright then, goodbye
If he wont treat me right then, alright then, goodbye!
The buzzing of the kitchen flies
He flew his airplane through my skies
No second guessing I won't push my luck and find
Just what you're left with in the end, so that's why I'm
Leaving in the darkness of the night
I barely need a reason for me leaving him behind
If he wont treat me right then, alright then, goodbye
If he wont treat me right then, alright then, goodbye!
Knowing I couldn't stay
Headed where the weather suits my mood I'm
going away, off into the night
I'm just carried away to another morning
In the sunlight, it got too hard to fight

Easy On Them Turns

Easy on them turns, easy on them turns,
I put a little skin down somewhere on the curb
Its just a little spin out, sinners gotta learn like
Whats a loss of blood when you win a bit of dirt?
Brush it off man, what's a little burn?
Out the coffin, rub a little dirt
But i got to sweat more than I bleed
Just to keep the concrete off my knees
Left right, left right, it's a daily fight
Eyes wide, eyes wide through a red light
Wax wings I fly in the sunlight (but its too bright)
Have a safe flight
But I don't wanna die, keep an eye peeled
Don't you go losing your head
So while I roll around only 2 wheels,
Ima keep in mind what my momma said
Easy on em turns easy on em turns
I put a little skin down somewhere on the curb
It’s just a little spin out, sinners gotta learn like
What's a loss of blood when you win a bit of dirt?
You won't die, just take my advice
Drive slow, bike fast and you'll live right

Oh my, please don't make me cry
All these reasons why
So please don't make me

Sunset (prelude)

Waste an hour of your precious time
C'mon spend some time with me
Is your calendar so well defined?
Let's watch the sunset on the sea
Waste an hour of your precious time,
Is there power burning in your eyes?
Most people look like clouds to me
But you're more like
The sunset on the sea

Lightning Of July

And I'm not so innocent
When the sun touched your lips
Summertime is coming fast
And our secret's not built to last
But if your words were like the rain that falls from so far up in space
Then I'm the chalk left on the pavement, by the morning I could fade away
Or I'm the clothes left on the line under a storm in June
Or I'm the lightning of July cause I got this whole thing for you
Hanging out we're hanging on
You roll my world round in your palm
Cause every time I'd try to say it
I let the chalk lines run like paint
And if your words were like a rain that falls from so far up in space
And I'm the chalk left on the pavement by the morning I could fade away
Or I'm the clothes left on the line under a storm in June
No, I'm the lightning of desire cause I got this whole thing for you
Born in Cancer just like you
We're fearsome cause we're passing through

On My Mind Pt. 2

How long will I wait for love
How long will I wait (repeats)
Not so far so good, we’re not out the woods yet
No way I’d ever change you, no way I’d (repeats)
I know I’ll back out I’m too safe
For trying whatever you say
No way I’d ever change you (repeats)
How long til I waste your love
How long til I waste (repeats)
Can’t rely can’t rely on holding onto someone, I
Need you right here beside me, I’m waking up at night
Terrified, terrified, I’m holding onto nothing, I
Need you right here beside me, it’s weighing on my mind
On my mind
On my mind
On my mind
