Waves

gazing towards the sun

Feelin super dumb

But nothing really matters cus

It’s summer and you’re young

You’ve got a bag

With water and snacks

 

Just laying in the sand

With my feet up layed back

My spirits so intact

Yea

I feel  so relaxed

  While every single sun ray

Leads my mind so astray

Like a temporary distraction

From the reality of today

Everything is perfect

in that short calm moment

Yet that’s when the stress hits

and everything changes

Song part

 

There’s so much in my brain

Just watch the riffles in the waves

Calm down for ur mothers sake

and breathe

tomorrow we’ll be awake

Not dead in a dark hole underground

No waves to watch no calming sound

Think about it

we’ve got so much around us

but we only see a little bit

 

so save that money

be somebody

buy a car

and venture far

get on your feet

maybe you’ll meet

Someone neat

so i say

enough

this shit too rough

I’m tryna plot

A way to stop

This anxious boss

that lives inside

My mind

The tension and tears

Aren’t worth my years

If I wasn’t suffocating here

I could be as smart as an engineer

Maybe even volunteer

do something worthwhile

And make a better life

the thoughts come rushing in

Like who am I to thrive?

Who am I to make decisions

I can’t even do math right

This worlds pretty messed up

so set your eyes on what’s not fucked up

Don’t set your eyes on darkness

Set your eyes on light

and things will turn out good

The news and blues of yesterday

Cant stop the flight you booked

Scene change

Switch swap exchange

It’s time to,alternate, trade

fly south to a different place

But wait

you start to shake

What if the plane gets delayed

it could be late on that specific date

 

and everything that was once great

Stops and starts to break

what if things don’t go your way or you can’t find the right gate

What if the nose starts to plummet into the Great Lakes

only half an hour

Of the flight is left

And once you land

Yea you’ll be stressed

But stay safe and be blessed

Those prayers an texts from uncles and aunts

grammas and grandpas

moms and dads

say stay safe in this new place

Remember the people that love you will be there for you

Even A whole continent away

shits scary

and Frantic

And life’s still mess

Now you’re feelin good

But just for the moment

How will you make it

if you’ve got nothin to spend

The markets gonna crash

no more using cash

More cards will decline

cus everything’s online

Take me back

reverse to the past

Like in 1999 no one had to rely

On computers or technology in order to be fine

you better get a job

To bring in somethin fast

Will your brothers have your back

When you ask to be cashapped

or will they leave you hanging

cus remember that one time

You couldn’t return the favor?

ugh

life sucks

we just shrug and say

it’s great

at least I’ve got a way

To keep myself sane

Like watching the winsome white waves

With just my self all day

everything twists and things start to change

minds think alike but we’re not all the same

creativity strives

in hearts with desire

But what if that’s lost and I’m bound for the fire?
