I'm lost
You're gone
I guess I'll find a better way
My waves
fading
Gonna drift till I'm back at shore
Dropped off
Washed out
Kept wishing that it'd just got back
Stayed in isolation every single evening
Retrogression was the way I was careening
The signal's fading, now that the power's lost
I'm just looking back
at the tattered past
Would rather write it down than go to therapy
I swear I'm okay
Feeling better now
Gonna reflect instead of relapse independently

Couldn't help but predicate on my own neurosis
Since I was taking sleeping pills on much bigger doses
I thought that I would seek some comfort when comatosing
but I cannot endorse the shit that I was engrossed in
I sought out what I thought was help from ones I got close with
but most of those became some cons that fucked with emotions
I still have love for ones that kept me grooving and coasting
but bitch you best think twice if you assume I won't ghost you
We've got no signal here.
Its lost and scattered in the atmosphere
We've lost our signal here
Wish the messages were coming in clear
If my diagnosis is supposed to be correct
Then I've gotta look back and reflect with all due respect
I'm not the first to go and open up as a way to connect
because too many of you motherfuckers would turn around and project
My life felt like a specimen for y'all to dissect
just to go around in some circles with some words you had to inject
in spite of all my efforts to confront and be direct
from the outskirts you sneaky bitches would still come here and infect
so my friendships became a lineup that I had to inspect
but I guess when you speak with frankness what more can you expect
So I closed up, I'd deflect, & find ways to redirect
all conversations from my perspective as a move to stay protected
We've got no signal here.
Its lost and scattered in the atmosphere
We've lost our signal here
Wish the messages were coming in clear
I guess if I'm opening up I'll do it in pieces
I just can't believe it
Some dreams I'm staying with apples and eating some peaches
it's leaving me speechless
while others i'm still thinking CREAM
and feigning for it to leave
It's so draining and tearing seams
my subconscious rains down in themes
It's a chain with some jagged teeth
man my brain makes me wanna scream
We've got no signal here.
Its lost and scattered in the atmosphere
We've lost our signal here
Wish the messages were coming in clear
We've got no signal here.
Its lost and scattered in the atmosphere
We've lost our signal here
Wish the messages were coming in clear

Find Me Now

Walking the streets at 2 AM, and its seven below
No contact with any friends
Just to clear your head
All you wanted was to get some rest, but time is creeping by slow
Trying to clean up the mess that's left
While you're in your bed
You walk and whisper for it all to stop
You walk and whisper for it all to stop
You walk and whisper for it all to stop
You walk and whisper for it all to stop
Stand firm, take a breath
You need a little refresher
Stomp, stand, take a breath
Feels like they won't find me now
Stand firm, take a breath
You need a little refresher
Stomp, stand, take a breath
Feels like they won't find me now
Chin down. Head straight
Don't wanna draw some attention
Tunes Up. Keep Shades
Would rather not have them bother you
Get in, get out. Don't get wrapped in this
Find a way to leave on your own
You've got a new mission statement
No overthought and no conversation
Who is this?
Who is that?
Where am I going?
Will I be home?
Stand firm, take a breath
You need a little refresher
Stomp, stand, take a breath
Feels like they won't find me now
Stand firm, take a breath
You need a little refresher
Stomp, stand, take a breath
Feels like they won't find me now
Burning fast
midnight oil is burning strong
i feel so lost at nights
i feel so lost until the sun comes
i lay restless
tossing and turning tossing and turning tossing and turning
asking myself the same questions questions questions
wishing for some peace and solitude
wishing for some peace and solitude
for some peace and solitude

I tried to call you
but was just shouting at the wall
I couldn't see you
Since you had blocked me from it all
Left of the dial
Another downward spiral
Taken to the limit
Cryptic broken messages
Signals from home
lost in translation
felt like a sideshow
in a glass house with glass rocks
wrapped in the undertow
scratching all sides of the last box
seemed like I can't grow
stretching hands of a ticking clock
Taken to the limit
cryptic broken messages
signals from home
lost in translation
fidgeting dials
adjusting antennas
smacking the console to make a connection
bits and pieces coming through
not enough is sticking
fixed inside a point in time
I'm within this moment
just this once I'm listening closely
but it sounds as if I'm just too late
all I see are syllables
are I'm making out are ideas
trying to fill in the rest
but its looking like a mess
I can't tell if they're trying to help me
I just wanted to make things right
I just wanted to make things right
I thought I was doing that
Taken to the limit
cryptic broken messages
signals from home
lost in translation
I just wanted to understand and feel understood

Kicking the door down, because I'm taking a break
Snagging a sound that I love from back in the day
Grabbing the mic, cockin it back, and I'm ready to spray
Let's do New Jack Swing in a contemporary Way
I'm not dressed to impress but I'll bitch slap your pants off with bars on deck
Packed with rhymes so viscous you can feel it on your neck
and a bite to vicious you'll think its grotesque.
Now I can't flex but all of you want my Sunday best
So here's a jest, a break from all the rest.
Stretching a scheme until it's reached its crest
Then switching up the vowels at the viewers request.
(oh my god he isn't even rapping about anything what the fuck?)
Spitting foul on this beat
while in the bowel of the beast
looking least likely to come to the concrete with heat
repeatedly meeting the medium with ripe intensity
feeding y'all a mic-full to stifle all of my enemies
catapult me to the canopy where i can be
observing all this shit from above like aristocracies
raining napalm down onto the tropic trees
doling out philosophies while smoking out the centipedes
(what?)
Predicated on the evidence
Y'all can read my lips
Y'all are more daring than Oedipus
Reliving the life of Icarus
spouting some gibberish
and I'm dedicated
to shedding some light on the ignorance presented
but not to impede on a good vibe
I'm still here for some good times
let's pack bowls and get high
just here to enlighten and enrich all your lives
gonna fight the good fight until I'm satisfied
and this ain't about the fight or flight
only trying to help you sight a plight
while I'm hanging on a satellite
burning oil till the morning light
everything is gonna be alright
even if the lyrics aren't as bright
keep it stylish like you're Edgar Wright
Keep it 100 like a kilobyte
Keep it loyal like a table knight
I'll keep it kicking like a kid on a red eye flight sippin sprite outta fright of the heights making the space between both seats quite tight
because I love you
(jesus)

I feel like I owe you an apology
I didn't want it to be this way & I'm sorry
I never wanted to fail this hard & I'm sorry
I never wanted to let you down & I'm sorry
Sometimes it just ends like that
We just fall back off track
I gotta find my way to the end
Where I can see you again
Don't let your madness dictate your methods
I lived my life because I might regret it
but I look back and felt like I fucked over
Some people that meant a lot to me in the long run
I took a couple of shots with the wrong gun
That's why i look and question my reflection
To turn these tables toward the right direction
I'm just aiming to be the best myself
So when I fuck up I question myself
where I can change to fix our health
without dismantling what I love about myself
I wish everything could last forever
Only the best can stay together
So we've just gotta know, that nothing can tear us apart
and that nothing can tear us apart
and we can continue to grow separately and together gradually
until we reach and apex
and we're both bearing our own fruit together and apart
valuing each other's company
