someone's gonna come along with a great big loaded conversation they'll delay our exchange it's not ordinary but I called to say I'm sorry about the way things used to be when we were stuck in willow trees sleeping and weeping you wanted to know the colors that show I was in the middle of saying something and i got a feeling it was better than the words I was using in the middle of the kitchen where everybody was stewing and grooving I wanted to know the colors that showed within our drunkeness my chin was like a handkerchief you used for your red lipstick in that moment where i finally realized you would always stare toward the line of my hair when you lie

color fade 02:45
colors dull you've never seen you want to grow get tired of the big screen you love who's consuming who? ya what's begun? shut it down and go to sleep you want to know the words the words you are saying who's consuming who? ya what's begun? I want to know you more there were 4 foot ways of laughing trash and a rats nest the sink through disposal, gargled water to clear the pipe bend you never listen to your senses, feel your feet on the floor friend yea toes are nature's way of saying balance is the core plan, times ten opinions shape reality and your mindfulness matters

It's been a long time since I heard from you It's weird to think about all the different avenues I could have used to be a better man, when I didn't like me then...I will text you in a few we both got a lot to chew on... shapeless matter you gather easily when we send all of our messages in faux reality quickly we were so stoned in doors when there's a ladder to reach we'll climb up to top of the most soothing of the sceneries we felt like a ghost with the most and we didn't believe in a cause when it all felt so very fleeting you want to go to sleep and dream you wonder bout the truth in dreaming the things, and then you don't you know... there's endless clatter that circulates the scene when the car rolled down the boulevard you felt like a ghost with the most and you didn't believe in a cause when it all felt so very fleeting

about

Another love album about growth and of questioning the human spirit. Why do we disconnect from the outside world. At what point is the television watching you instead of you watching it? When do you break away and own your life's journey?
