With Intent

Comin at you with intent
Got a feelin that you needed to vent
So tell me a story then I can infer
All the answers you thought there were
Not tryin to make this weird
It’s just things have gotten tense
It might not make too much sense
But it’s something you have to hear
I don’t have the answers
At least not right here
Give me a little time
At least a few more years
I can only find the answers
That you didn’t want to hear
I’m sorry life is like this
But that’s not really my field
Comin at you with intent
Got another curve I need bent
Just buy me some time
So that I can find
The next thing I can rent
Let me just say it’s been long enough
You should to let things go
Maybe then you didn’t but, hey
At least now you know

Protected/Finally

An awaking, long overdue
In fact I don’t think this is the first one for you
Because look at where you’re at and look at where you’ve been
Not saying its off
But I gotta chime in
You had the motive, you had the drive
It’s just that some things are hard to come by
Especially when you don’t have all the right eyes
And are holding something back inside
Hold it on repeat
Keep it playing
Sink it deep
Keep it all warmed up so you can return on any beat
Keep all that shit away
It can visit
But it can’t stay
And that’s the issue because either way
You’re losing apart of that day
Did you really think that you’d stay protected after you got that new thing they wanted?
And now you think that this will go as expected after you got that new thing they wanted
Another feeling that’s real
Hold my hand out
Just to watch it disappear
I’m fed up with this fear
Hold your hand out
And watch me steer
A blank premonition
With hidden ignition
Waitin for gas to light up the decision
Recognition is always the crutch of the mission
And now I don’t think that I like your revisions
I can’t alter speed, but I can alter vision
Pack me another I think I can live it
I think that as long as I find the controls
Maybe In time I’ll have less to with hold
So send me on a journey where I get lost
Maybe then I’ll really learn how much shit costs
I didn’t really wanna know but, hey since I’m here I might as well learn what I’m blowing off
My patience is draining as I’m entertaining
I didnt wanna feed it, but they’re fucking making me
Now I’m left here sitting on my own
Waiting for it to come back home
I can finally breathe
I can finally see
Everything
I can finally fake
While I silently take
Everything

What I Want
04:33
|
|||
|
Take a second to look back
I think I took it for granted
I didn’t care how shit went and now
Look where I landed
Upon first glance
It didn’t seem to demand it
But now I can’t help but wonder
What else was abandoned?
But lucky for you now
You aren’t really the kind
That we wanted to try
And lucky for you now
We can’t do without
The things we try to hide
You were never a false hope
You were just what we thought would work
And now that it’s all bullshit
I don’t what will work
You can let it in
You can force it out
As long as I get what I want
You can help it fly
Or you can stomp it out
As long as I get what I want
Make another note that
Will only lead to expand it
Did you care where you’d fall or
Are you fine where you landed?
I don’t think it matters now
But you should at least understand it
Cuz in the end you’ll sleep each night
Inside it, defenseless
But lucky for you now
There’s not really the time
For you to go on and try
And lucky for you now
You’d rather sit behind
Than just try and decide
This was never the right hope
We just really wanted it to work
But now that we know it’s bullshit
It all hurts even worse

That Guy
03:15
|
|||
|
Another one that makes em all go wild
Another chance to get it back with a freestyle
With a weird smile it keeps shutting off
And I really didn't want this cough, so
I’ll give it back now I don’t want it
I just wanted to put my name on it
And flaunt it to taunt it
To keep the vibe on it for now
Hold me down
You can’t run away
You try to say something but it’s too late
I don’t wanna be that guy
But it’s gettin kinda late
Show me now
I can’t run away
I don’t wanna stay here it feels too fake
I don’t mean to be that guy
But it's gettin kind of late
It seems you’re always waiting
Hesitating instead of playing
You know that’s it’s a ride
Yet you keep on delaying
Getting less and more discreet
Changing paces and changing seats
Changing what you feel
All because of what you heard it on the feed
I don’t
Want to go there
Honestly I can’t see straight
Is it the screens or has it always been the bait?
I don’t wanna look into proof
Just more bullshit instead of truth
So I’m just gonna wait here until I
Have to move
Hold me down
You can’t run away
You try to say something but it’s too late
I don’t wanna be that guy
But it’s gettin kinda late
Show me now
I can’t run away
I don’t wanna stay here it feels too fake
I don’t mean to be that guy
But it's gettin kind of late
Palpating and rearranging
Engaging in constant disengagement
A portion of what do told yourself
Makes any sense at all
But worst of all
You’ve got them picked
You picked them out
like they caused it all
It’s not really clear
What you expect from the draw, but
Maybe it’s the best move
To stack before you grove
To wait before you make each step
Just in case you need justify
Try or just learn to lie
To perform what they can’t deny
everyone likes that guy
you couldn’t be him even if you tried

Where I Started
03:39
|
|||
|
With an empty head full of skill and not thought
Can’t redeem the old seems that that shit brought
So focus and confused you seem to be breathing
Maybe a little less than you're concentrating
I can sell a old role, but it can’t compete
Wanna learn a new trick, but your shit’s too weak
You’d think that head would be big enough, seeing the size
Unfortunately you never learned to prioritize
I don't want to stop
So I need to learn how to drop all this
Extra context, it gets us nowhere but further down this hole
I don’t even really want to block
Sometimes I wish I hadn’t rattled the lock
But that’s 20/20 hindsight and it don’t mean shit
But at least you can admit it
Get me back
to where I started
And make sure it’s stacked
I don’t wanna get carded
Or thought out quickly
Just because of the chance
Stuck inside this broken hope
Throw it down a little further I could use the rope
throw it down a little harder
I can get a little farther on
The shit that you won’t revoke
Who misspoke?
Who fucking cares
Think a little bit less
Like you need repairs
Cuz when you get there
You won’t need to stare
You’ll have a hundred different reasons
Not to be here

Circle Back
04:07
|
|||
|
Throw it back to the basics
I realized I misplaced it
Can’t be sick of something
If you don’t even know where its place is
So patient you played it
As if you weren’t tempted
I got half a mind to find
What was forcefully disconnected
So intent on alterations
Focused on hesitations
Of relations
That you might not of even correlated
Feeling faded
And nowhere close
To where I thought I was moving on up to
I guess I’m just fucked too
Paranoid by durations
That you’ve theorized
You think you’ve learned to see everything
Without your eyes
No surprise
You always were the kind to put it off
Until you noticed what you lost
Circle back
As I trickle in
I really thought that I could do without it
And push forward
To let the rest in
I guess I can’t learn to do without it
Another thing to show
Another thing to blow
Another thing to know
Another way to fall back
As you reprehensively
Trace back your steps
Leading yourself through your mind to the time
Of when you fucked up the best
I can take it now
I really wanna believe that
But every time I reach out
I lose where my heads at
In fact
Just the other day I watched it shift
Couldn’t tell if it’s a seal or a rift
So intent on alterations
Focused on hesitations
Of relations
That you might not of even correlated
Feeling faded
And nowhere close
To where I thought I was moving on up to
I guess I’m just fucked too
Paranoid by durations
That you’ve theorized
You think you’ve learned to see everything
Without your eyes
No surprise
You always were the kind to put it off
Until you noticed what you lost
Circle back
As I trickle in
I really thought that I could do without it
And push forward
To let the rest in
I guess I can’t learn to do without it

Born To

Let’s take it back awhile
To when it was in style
I knew how you felt cuz i
Could see the denial
But I still can’t comprehend
Or even really see
I see it deep down there
Where your hiding out
You wanna try it
But don’t wanna leave without
Leaving your goddamn mark
The reason for everything
Pre-Chorus:
Another loss without
A true ending
You’re too busy blocking out
You skipped the mending
It all could’ve been so easy
Or at least that’s what I heard
A feeling locked without
A true reason
Looking back before doubt
There were always causes
I can’t really blame it on seasons
Because I think that I know
Chorus:
Now let me think of something quick here to say
I really wanted to learn how to stay
But I just always showed up without it
I just always showed up without it
When I came
Now let me think of something quick here to say
I didn’t mean to push you away
I was just so much about it
I was always so much about
What I gave
Verse 2:
Let’s throw it back awhile
Before you were in denial
When the things that you wanted
Were just right down the aisle
But now you can see them all fading
With bigger holes to replace
You’ve felt more than one reason
To reconsider
And yet
Over time
You just got more bitter
I’m not tryin to fall off
I’m not trying to leave
It’s just There are some times
I don’t want to see
Pre-Chorus:
Another loss without
A true ending
You’re too busy blocking out
You skipped the mending
It all could’ve been so easy
Or at least that’s what I heard
A feeling locked without
A true reason
Looking back before doubt
There were always causes
I can’t really blame it on seasons
Because I think that I know
Chorus:
Now let me think of something quick here to say
I really wanted to learn how to stay
But I just always showed up without it
I just always showed up without it
When I came
Now let me think of something quick here to say
I didn’t mean to push you away
I was just so much about it
I was always so much about
What I gave
Born to live and born to stay
Born to push and born to pray
You were born for this now get out of the way
You don’t wanna end up late

Another Thing
03:36
|
|||
|
Look at me now here ready to win it
I been waitin outside for a minute
But I can take ya back down any minute
Take it back
Hold it back
Throw it back
Leave it
Think about it
Did you get what you needed?
Did you get all that treated?
Or did you just feed it
To what your fighting
And to what your leaving
I can’t tell if there’s somethin else
Gimme a corner and I’ll find it myself
At least for now I can act
And in the meantime
Find my old tracks
Tracks back
I can’t relax
I got that feeling you get when you fast
I got that feeling
You get when you’re reeling
With two feet on the gas
So throw back
We can’t attack
Not when there’s bleeeding we don’t want a gash
I don’t mean to lash
And I ain’t tryin to push
Sometimes I just get lost
All the wrong things yea I can admit it
I got a brand new feelin now I don’t wanna quit it cuz
I been waitin outside for a minute
And I can take ya back down any minute
yea
And look at me now here ready to kill it got a different speed
Another thing that we can resist
Another thing he’ll try to twist
Another deal that’s
Long been sealed
And got caught up in the midst
I can’t really feel
The desire to make it real
It’s so much fun to pretend
And it’s better just not to feel
on now just finish cuz
I been feelin fed up for a minute
But I can fill it back up in a minute yea
Hold it on out
You can pretend
Give em plenty of reasons
Not to resend cuz
They been waitin outside for a minute
But they can’t play like they don’t wanna get it

Guy Like Me
04:15
|
|||
|
I walked for a while before I noticed
That something wasn’t making sense
It gave off a familiar odor
But I couldn’t pin point the stench
Give it a second take
to ensure the break Would happen if I walked away
We can’t have mistake
Cuz you can’t retake
What you basically threw away
Planted
I take what I can get
I take what I can see
I take everything that belongs to a guy like me
Granted
Not everything’s for sale
Somethings are just free
So grab everything that fits for a guy like me
It’s times like this you notice all of the things they hid away
It’s times like this you ask yourself
What have I done today?
Make sure it’s got intake
Cuz we need the breaks on
This one at least anyways
I’ll give solid fake
Cuz I’m ready rake in
Everything I deserve
I don’t wanna drag you blindly
But you gotta get out or get grinding
It’s a game not choice
Don’t you like to win?
I think This fits the tone of your voice
You want it?
Go out and find it
Quit your bitching that you’ll never
Be able to unwind it
You gotta at least try it
Before you can start up a riot
On your own
Yet you avoid the roam

Weighing Rocks

WEIGHING ROCKS
Brand new feeling
This one’s worth concealing
But you gotta learn that right off the bat
I get you checked out
But would be so hard to come back?
Different kinda game
Different kinda range
Different kinds of things are easier rearrange
Can’t tell if this needs to be tamed
I don’t feel it
But then I’m wrong
Why aren’t things ever that long
Except for when they try to pry at your
Insides until it feels like nothing matters
Maybe if you made a move
Things might feel like they’ve resumed
But you spend all your time
Just weighing rocks
Chorus:
Hide if you want
They all know you’re waiting
Another minute down
Another move to the floor
And you look for more
Cuz I didn’t think that we’d end up here
Now I can’t tell if it’s raining
Another entry lost
Another way to look forward
But still look for more
Just don’t be surprised when you end up here
I got a new one that you can’t absolve
Funny how the trend’s written on the walls
Could you tell if it falls?
Or are you too preoccupied
You lied
To someone at least
if not one of them than definitely to me
Looks like another problem
without any kind of conclusion
Be sure to watch in a low resolution
Restitution is granted to all who oblige
And right now you don’t really look like that kinda guy
But was that ever even on your mind?
Did you get around to it?
or have you been too fucking busy just weighing rocks?
Familiar feeling
Still one worth concealing
A change of pace too far to look back
Id say this warrants a re-assessment of the pack
Turning back the page
Turning back the blame
In Conflicting states it’s easier reel for change
Until you feel
What you loved all along
I can’t help but wonder how it would feel
To let it go and find something
New to reveal
But Does this qualify as something someone could steal?
You won’t know until you decide
Or at least until you take a step outside
Instead of sitting in that room just weighing rocks

They Keep Coming
05:00
|
|||
|
Take out the one they sent in advance
Try keeping up but they’re too fast
They keep coming
They keep coming
Act it out like you lived the past
Hoping this time somethin will last
They keep coming
They keep coming
Push it out just like the last one
Pass another chance and I guess
They keep coming
They keep coming
Make it feel just like they all did
I got rid of most and still
They keep coming
They keep coming
So maybe now it’s a problem again
Something’s wrong with the fixtures and
I don’t want a mixture again
And now it’s a problem again
There’s a missing mental picture
That I just can’t deliver again
Push past the gaze to find where you stand
Try holding up, they’ll take their chance and
Keep coming
They’ll keep coming
Flesh out it like you did in advance
Time to apply now cuz
They keep coming
They keep comin
Choke it out just like the last one
Wont change a thing cuz more will
Keep coming
They’ll keep coming
Make it feel just like they all did
Fuck a second chance cuz they always
Keep coming
They keep coming
