I'm not gonna leave your side
'Til you're alright
If I gotta be right here with you
All night
What is that
What is that
It's instructions
If you have a panic attack
Just breathe easy
This life got your back
Promise that
If you leave me life
I'm honored that we had met
This the life
This the life
This the life
Of the chosen few
I can't lie
See the glow around you
Seems to light the room
If I try
I can fly
Stay alive
Don't you leave too soon
Butterfly
Butterfly
Butterfly
With a broke cocoon
Go brrum
Bum
Bum
Bum
Bum
Bum
Bum
Bum
Bum
To the beat of my drum
Out in Gunnison
And if a friend of mine calls
Tell em I love em
I don't beat my own heart
Brr
Brrum
Bum
Bum
You and me the same
How are we gonna blame
How can you explain that
Know it for a fact
We're just different pages
Of the paperback
I'm not gonna leave your side
'Til you feel alright
I have to believe you're here with me
All the time
If you're scared
Then just be there
For someone who's scared
Because it's you
That's standing right there
At two years old
Life's over my head
Everywhere I look
Everywhere I look

I won't lie to you
Scars will never go away
But skin gets stronger though
If darkness wasn't all around us
How would the stars glow
Full rides
Long nights
How did we get here though
A star died
A star died
A star died
It's just star dust
A star died
I'm on Laurel Canyon
Drifting in the car ride
Everybody asking if I'm alright
We don't die
They told us
That Hell wasn't on Earth
Oh what a lie
Remember in the stadium
You looked me in the eye
I looked at my phone so much today
I'm going blind
I just threw my phone away
My mental on the line
I'm gonna throw the drugs away one day
To clear my mind
Haven't seen my sister since like 1999
Universe is with me now
I know that I'll be fine
I know the stars are in me now
I know I'm gonna shine
I am just a thought in the Universe's mind
I am only living
Just because a star had died
What if I trust there's a reason
It's just Stardust that I'm breathing
It's just Stardust give it meaning
What if I jump in the deep end
We don't die
They told us that hell wasn't on earth
Oh what a lie
Universe is with me now
I know that I'll be fine
I just threw my phone away
My mental on the line
I am just a thought
In the Universe's mind
Been low key
Been low key
What I miss
What up stars
Is there scars
You can fix
I got love
And yeah I know that there's a risk
But I'm trusting in the flow of all of this
Scars will never go away
But skin gets stronger though
If darkness wasn't all around us
How would the stars glow
Full rides
Long nights
How did we get here though
A star died
A star died
A star died

Well I probably said too much
But you're never not enough
I just want your love
You just want my guts so
Would you be my plus one
To the football game
I'm just having fun
We could ride the bus
Like it's London town at dawn
There's no one here but us
And we talk along the way
I guess I'm trying to say
I love you
All the way
All the way
In the back of my mind
The things you will find
Are mostly of me and you
By the way
I just made you a map of the signs
Because I lost my mind
But found my soul along the way
There's no love on the internet
No drugs that'll get me as
High up as I am right now
And I don't plan on coming down
For a while
Unless you smile from down below
All in a day
We drift away
If it gets too deep
Just hold on to me
And we'll float away
I probably said too much
But you're never not enough
I just want your love
You just want my guts
So would you be my plus one
To the robot show
We just having fun
We can ride the bus
Like it's London town at dawn
There's no one here but us
And all along the way
I guess I'm trying to say
I love you
By the way
I just made you a map of the signs
Because I lost my mind
But found my soul along the way
If anyone would be blue
It would be you
If anything would be true
It would be you
Because I lost my mind
But found my soul along the way

If you worry about a star
Like you worry about the car
Do you wonder where we are
Like I wonder where we are
We're off
We're gone away
Drift another day
It's just this moment
Don't let it
Ever slip away
Good things never cost us
All the love
All the losses
All the hate
I'm exhausted
I'm finally on my own now
I'm finally up and grown now
I'm gonna escape all the karma
Do not take any big Pharma
I just move silent with God bro
Center my universe Auntie
Take me wherever you want me
Four hundred and seventeen on me
Don't care if you're there
In the morning
Can you be here in the moment
Can you be here in the moment
Everything's here in the moment
If you worry about a star
Like you worry about the car
Do you wonder where we are
Do you wonder where we are
Do you wonder where we are
Do you wonder where we are
We're off
We're gone away
Ninth dimension ok
It's just the moment
Don't let it
Ever slip away
Good things
They wont cost you
Lotta love then I lost you
Energy hear it talking
Energy hear it talking
If you worry about a star
Like you worry about the car
Do you wonder where we are
Do you wonder where we are
See
It's all a dream
The road
I'm following
Leaves
Want to leave
And fall
Onto me
One day the world will change
Nothing left remains
All that's left is flames
I still love you though
Energy remains
I got faith in that
Please don't take it back

And ever since
You were always my evidence
That this life goes on and on
For long
It's medicine
Soon as I saw you that was it
When the light went on and on
And on
You would always have my back
When I couldn't talk to dad
When I couldn't talk to mom
No more about it because she's sad
You were all I ever had
We got married in winter
Wish I could have sent ya
An invite out to Denver
Think I don't remember
Things we did together
I miss you forever
I know we'll be together again
Damn
Let me keep my shit together
I wish I could tell her
That you will end up better
For flying in this weather
And I wish I could have seen you grow
And if you are not here
Then I guess
I just have to be you so
Now I know
Everything in life
Is just so precious bro
Every single day I get is extra though
Yes or no
When it's raining
We can share umbrellas though
I better go
Can we talk for just a couple seconds more
And ever since
You were always my evidence
That this life goes on and on
For long
It's medicine
Soon as I saw you that was it
When the light went on and on
And on

I wasn't like the other kids
Forgive me
Then one day
Knew that all of this
Was in me
I wasn't like the other kids
Because I wasn't like the other kids
Forgive me
Then one day
Knew that all of this
Was in me
And who would of thought
So much can exist
In emptiness
Living fast
She's an actress
I'm not acting
What a match
It was graphic
Can't move past it
Where you at
Just on holiday
Put you on a paper plane
And while I'm away
Don't you never ever change
Hit the switch
I can still see light inside you
In darkness
Deep inside Earth's body
Where we probably live
Hope you don't feel pain no more
Now that you dipped
I always notice
They don't notice
It's my heart I'm holding
They witness that it is swollen
You rolling
It's Sunday morning
Didn't I say
Didn't I
I'm in LA at midnight
We had once met didn't we
Write about you in history
When the clouds spin
And the earth shakes
I'm an athlete in the first place
LA is my birthplace
You fuck with me
It's worst case
Remember me said the earth wait
It's meant to be
That there's no fate
Meant to be
I can't bring you back
So mother fuck that birthrate
Just like summer yeah
Hit my number yeah
It's my honor yeah
Lost my other half
This week
I'll try not to misspeak
Ok have a good day though
Gut will navigate though
I just wanted to speak to you
About some shit see
I'll pass on the yay oh
LMFAO
I wasn't like the other kids
Forgive me
And then one day
Knew that all of this
Was in me
I wasn't like the other kids
I wasn't like the other kids

I remember everything you told me in Ohio
A while ago
But since I caught my flight
Back to LA
It's been a while
I hope you know
Everything in life I'll ever need
Is in that smile
I had to go
I'll go get some paper
Then I'll be back by tomorrow
If this is it though
Life is lit though
I exist so
Fuck a pistol
I don't miss though
Got a peso
I ain't change though
When we used to whip it in your car
Smoke one and then
Trip out on the stars
It's who you are
Surfing on all kind of different vibes
But this is ours
And I think I love you
All the way from here to Mars
So hop up in this dream I'm chasing
I remember everything you told me in Ohio
A while ago
But since I caught my flight
Back to LA
It's been a while
I hope you know
Everything in life I'll ever need
Is in that smile
I had to go
I'll go get some paper
Then I'll be back by tomorrow
I'll backpack never mind me
I'll get a million dollars
Then I'll bet it on me
And I split it with my partners
Everybody live free
Live free
Live free
I'm a live free
Looking outside
But you will not find it there
I remember everything you told me in Ohio

What's the trip like
What is this life
What are the dislikes for
Enter this life
I'm gonna hitch hike
Into the night yeah
In a '96 Impala
We'll be blowing on some Cali ganja
We don't have to talk
About the problems no
All this love is really gonna solve them
I wouldn't be me
Without you I swear
I don't even post about you
I Quarterback
I smoke a sack
I slit a wrist
I don't get sad
'96 Impala
We'll be blowing on some Cali ganja
Never gonna be leaving California
Hit the beach anytime you want to
Promise you that
We live
We learn to fly
I fall from so far high
We love
We say goodbye
And letting go
Is the rawest form of love
Just let them fly
Don't give a fuck who you are
What is your soul
What is your scar
Whipping a stick
Don't give a shit
I wish every creature on this planet happiness
Need a girl that doesn't fuck with guys
Need someone
That doesn't fuck with sides
I got help now from the other side
I'm having dreams that I can't deny
You saying this
It's not even that
Let all of the weight
That's all on your back
Fall off
Let all the weight
Fall of your back
May all of the blessings
Fall in your lap
May all of the light
Fill out all the dark
Let all of the swings
Go out of the park
May all of the things
That tear us apart
Turn into the things
We share with our heart
What's the trip like
What is this life
What are the dislikes for
Enter this life
I'm gonna hitchhike
Into the night yeah
In a '96 Impala
We'll be blowing on some Cali ganja
We don't have to talk
About the problems no
All this love is really gonna solve them
Hope these days move slow
Look how fast they go

I'll be on my way sister
I'll be on my way sister
Eternal vacation
Yeah I'm floating
In an ocean
Of emotion
Tell you everything
That I usually hold in
As I fall in
To the Most High
Hope you are Him
Yeah I'm flying
Yeah I'm flying
Through a dream to
The horizon
Yeah I'm flying
Flying
To Zion
Shining
Hands
Put them up
Put them up
Put them up
Look at us
In the rocks
In the mud
Hop up in another state
There are some things
That you can't replicate
This is the realest shit
That I could demonstrate
Put a hundred in the ground
And let me levitate
From homeless to head of state
From hopeless to the better days
Don't need people in my life
Trying to get a dime from me
In my prime honey
My money is up in the soil
Sorry to the little me
Still in me
I knew you wouldn't want this shit for us
When you were three
Come let's hop up out the institution
Follow me
It doesn't matter who you follow
If you're following
My attempt at a eulogy
It's you and me
I'm just standing at a podium
My sister dead next to me
About to give a speech
A hundred people
Who I failed
Who I let down
Million reps before the jet sounds
Please life move slow-mo
Save time if you speed up
We'll meet up again
No one is hollow
Light is what I follow
At the center of my eyes
Light is what I follow
At the center of my eyes
Tried for you
Really died for you
Gave my life to you
I wish that
I could see through your eyes
And I knew you
I knew you way before that
Way before I let go
Now I got my show back
Get it go
It's critical that I never turn back
Get it go
Get it go
I could never go back
Hands
Put them up
Put them up
Put them up
Look at us
Free fall
Into love
About to let it spill
Toast to the few
Spirit eye view
This is for the few
Inaudible
Hannah how are you
Hope it's getting through

I guess though
It's funny how the chips fall
I would never quit y'all
Oh I'm gonna miss y'all
I guess though
It's funny how the chips fall
I would never quit y'all
Oh I'm gonna miss y'all
I'm so high how do I land
I'm too high
Die if I land
Too high
Die if I land
Yeah I'm so high
Need to get some bread
And a wifey
Try to keep it low
Since I'm high key
I was on my flow
Since the high teens
Back when I was sponsored by Nike
A couple guys tried to fight me
They just swung on a light beam
I get my tan in the lightning
I just know if you come through
It'd be sightseeing
You see that star
Sometimes I just wonder where we are
I'm so high how do I land
Too high die if I land
Life as a ghost goes like this
Smile for the photo like this
I don't know
I don't really know
I just put a hundred in the ground
On the low
Where you are
I just put a hundred in the dirt
For the Rapture
I just put a hundred in the dirt
For the after

If I don't have you here
I don't have anything at all
All the stories end
No matter how big or how small
All the way we go
Time is shaped like flowers
If you ever feel alone
Electromagnetic waves
Will always crash up on the shore
By the way I love you
Universal love you
You saved me once
But no one has to know
It's not you or me
See we were all each other all along
All the sadness
You were filling up with alcohol
By the way I love you
Universal love
It's not you or me
See we were all each other all along
All the stories end
No matter how big or how small
By the way I love you
Universal love

Even if I'm out of key
Baby everything's in harmony
When I lose track of time I know
Your heart is my metronome
You're my favorite shade of blue
My favorite shade of blue
Who am I
Baby maybe I just
Live inside of you
It's beyond yes or no
Thank you for lessons though
High as my faith will go
Pulling me out this hole
You hit me life
With a full fist
Trust up in the hopeless
From empty came the fullness
All life's from the ocean
On your skin
I can taste it
Your love
No replacing it
So long
I've been chasing it
Dark times
But I'm facing it with you
Start the day though
By floating away
Floating away
And I hope you're ok
And you're my favorite shade of blue
My favorite shade of blue
Who am I
Baby maybe I just
Live inside of you
And you're my favorite shade of blue
My favorite shade of blue

Lately I can't get you out of my head
It's something you said
Oh I'm not over you yet
I'm not over you yet
Hey you
You there
I live for
That stare
If we take back
What we said
Could I walk you
You said that you had someone
You know that I'll wait though
You were out in ATL
While I was in LA so
She just looks like everything
Beautiful that I know
In a different timezone
Still feel you in my mind though
Would you wait love
Let's run away love
Another date love
But anyway
You can tell me everything that
Is on your mind though
We'll be fine though
I just want to say
You're always on my mind
Whenever I'm in your city
We should have took our time
Now I really really get it
I never wanted you to think
That I was out there playing games
With you
Taking all your feelings
And treating them
Like they're nothing to me
Oh what a mistake I made
I know this
Ain't nobody like you
And I'm hoping now
That I could come around
And show you I'm a better man now
We're on your block
It's super dark
I brought the trees though
And I swear I hear you
Whisper in the breeze so
I don't trip no more
I'm easy as a free throw
And I pour my soul
Because we don't get a redo
When I met her she was
High up off that
Yeah
Yeah
We don't even have to talk
We got that rare yeah
You told me to bridge the distance though
I didn't listen no
You said I didn't have to be alone
But I didn't listen though
I see in you everything there is
And I'm missing you
I didn't know it'd be as good as this
So I'm missing you a lot
I just mean
I'm missing you a lot though
We can talk though
It's four o'clock though
I just want to say
You're always on my mind
Whenever I'm in your city
We should have took our time
Now I really get it
I never wanted you to think
That I was out there playing games
With you
Taking all your feelings
And treating them
Like they're nothing to me
Oh what a mistake I made I know this
Ain't nobody like you and I'm hoping now
That I could come around
And show you I'm a better man now
It's so cold outside
Because its really the feel
Feel
Feel
|

15. |

Let's trade feelings
We'd never lie like that
To keep you near me
I really tried my bad
Feet right in front of me
Following my heart at least
Universe is underneath
Even when it's too dark to see
For your love I'm blind
For the drugs I'm blind
Give them hugs not words
Universe of mine
Just keep on leaving signs
Don't believe the times
There's no force like time
But there's no love like mine
No there's no light like mine
I was forced to shine
I'm gonna take no sides
A circle takes no sides
The world is made of pi
Call me now or not at all
I think I love you after all
Yeah I knew it all along
We're not meant to be alone
Look around
You'll see it in the star light
On a dark night
Time flies move quick
Yeah this for all time
I'm on the far side
Of consciousness
Yeah yeah when I open
Universe slow motion
Everything that I know then
Gone here in one moment
I don't know if you notice
This is not my only life
I'm living twice
Let nobody fuck with my love
I'm gonna just hover above
And watch down below
While letting go of ego
I'm popping up in a Vogue
This is my home
This is the time that I blow
This is the time of the soul
Call me now or not at all
Think I love you after all
Yeah I knew it all along
We're not meant to be alone
Look around you'll see it
In the star light
On a dark night
Time flies move quick
Yeah and for all time
On the far side
Of consciousness
Wherever you are

Gut is Our Brain

You make all the hard days
Feel easy now
I'll be
With you
Where you are
Will we meet again
Asking for a friend
Never had an end or beginning family
All I have is now with you
There's no plan
Just floating
Up above ourselves
We go speed of light for the fun of it
Still learning to fly you made fun of it
Met in NYC you were running shit
Well I'm gonna find my way
Gut is my brain
Follow you
And the signs all say
All the heartbreak comes in two
Life's moving fast
Only time I see the past
Is when I throw a pass
Last life
I was dropping dimes at quarterback
Hundred on the dash
Trying to get back to my dad
Thought he'd take his life
Right after my sister passed
City scapes on a summer day
We escape all the karma ok
We get strength from our scar always
Used to think you were far away
When the rain falls slowly
Like the pain falls from me now
How come no one told me
That the gut is our real brain

Last Day On Earth
02:25

By the way I never thought I'd know
Someone like you
But you're so far away
If this is goodbye then
Not perfect but who alive is
If this is my last day on Earth
Know I loved y'all
Since I came to earth
There's no problem
We're just made of dirt
Love and solitude
Won't make it worse
I'm on this rock
Spinning fast
Around the sun
Another lap
I'm running track
I want to stay
But I have to make my way back
If I pray then
I pray for my mom and dad
And as I lay here
This the only life I know
Life forgive me please
If I got to go
Every single time
I end up better for it
God let me surrender
And just lose control
Put it in your hands now
This is for anyone who lost their way
You are gonna find yourself one day
You are like space
You are like space
I've got to face it too
By the way I never thought I'd know
Someone like you
But you're so far away
But you're not so far away
If this is my last day on Earth

Trail of Coincidences
02:24
|

|
This ain't that
Can't run it back
Don't think I can stomach that
My heart lifts
That you exist
If I got this
Then I am rich
I'll empty this 'til I am whole
What is it you running for
It's what you went through dread for
Don't you keep your head low
This is how you get your halo
It's the time of our lives
Our lives
Saw the pattern in the mess though
Dropping nukes on dolphins
That is messed up
I'm way out in London
On the West End
Universe is talking if I listen
Because all I'll ever be
Is just your best friend
And I'll follow the trail of coincidences
I'm not fronting
I've been running
Everyday a different place
We ain't heard from you
In quite some time
Are you ok
Will you stay
Or will we just remain
A world away
I'll never know
All that I could do
Is just be waiting for you
When you show up more
In synchronicity
And say hello hello
I lost you
Before I really knew
Just how much it cost me
You were gone
You were wrong
I'll be strong
Dao is Kung Fu
Give it to you any way
So how you want it bro
If you cannot speak the language
You can feel it though
Feel a shiver creeping on me
As I'm leaving though
Now we're even so
Maybe you don't know me
I'll follow the trail of coincidence

There is No I
01:30
|

|
We're just two leaves falling
From the same tree we land
And we don't need a plan
Stay up and read your hands
Until tomorrow
God am I faithful
God am I thankful
God am I grateful
For you
And I know that you're there
So I solemnly swear
I love you
Should have said something
I didn't say nothing
When I liked you
You didn't try
But you made me be
A little more like you
Try to hide
Lying in my eyes
When I see him with you
Is he even with you
Heated issue
And I feel high and low
The more inside we go
We can wear vibes as clothes
Into the light we go
There is no I
If I can't fly
I'll float
Fill up the tub with salt
Thought it was all love's fault
But it was all our faults

Blue-eyed baby
Don't drive
You drive me crazy
Don't lie
I see right through it
Got a man huh
Oh I knew it
Sometimes I need the drama
Mostly I need good karma
We'll be good friends no problem
You got me
You got me brawling
Because I went all in and then
You had a boyfriend
They say that men will be men
My heart was swollen
You got me falling again
You got me brawling
You got me
What up
What up
Keep your head up
It gets better love
Please forgive us
We're just tripping
Off a different drug
I do not have an agenda
I keep up my feminine energy too
I can be friends with you darling
Even if I catch a feeling for you
But I'm gonna be gone by tomorrow
I'm gonna be in a new city
I think you should see them all
I wish you could come with me
Thoughts on a rooftop though
There's no ceilings
On the rooftop bro
No ceilings on the rooftop
If I got you
Then I got everything I need
Nothing to lose
But it's TV
When I'm with you
I hope you love me still
Because I'm gonna sing the blues
You got me
You got me brawling
Because I went all in and then
You had a boyfriend
They say that men will be men
My heart was swollen
You got me falling again
You got me brawling
You got me

The Other Me

I loved you the most
It was the other me
That kept you from loving me
As far as I know
You let it go
But it troubles me
The places you're touching me
Hands cannot go
It's more in my soul
You don't fuck with me
Then you can't get enough of me
But you were my mood
All summer
And you kissed a dude
That summer
And I'll hold you down
If you hold me down
What are we now

I'm flying
Fly home
I don't know
But I'm flying
Fly home
And I feel like
Falling
Danger zone
Because I didn't ever tell you
How I feel
I don't see myself
It's hard to find
There's no one left
But I'll be fine
Write our name in city lights
This whole life
Is on the line
It's temporary the whole time
I shouldn't play with pistols
I got scars
I should fix those
Speed of light
My initials
Learn to fly
When I'm with you
But silently
The days go by
I watch the days go by
And I know I'll
Follow you through the distance
Under moon light
I hope that you find yourself
A good guy
I hope that you have yourself
A good time
And I run outside
I'm alive
I'm alive
Run outside
I don't know but
I'm flying
Fly home
Slow riders
Other-siders

Don't Be Sad

I know now that you're not coming back
I'll be on highways drifting
Speeding from the past
There's no way to run from
All the things I'm feeling
And if he meant something to you
Why did you stick around
And it had just hit me lately
You're not coming back
So if you've got bad news
For me
Please don't tell me that
Because I'm moving inward
Upward
To ascension
I need to just let go
Even though it was probably not about that
Even though
We've got differences without that
I still love you though
Please don't doubt that
Still yeah I gotta go
I didn't route that
Soul contract
Now I know that
You're not coming back
You've got me on highways
Drifting
Speeding from the past
There's no way to run from
All the things I'm feeling
I need to just let go
There you go
I need to just let go
Don't be sad
Don't be sad
Don't be sad
Don't be sad
