Riverside

1 The Watchtower

 

Embryos and fluids

More sez smoke than a Buddhist

Not such a bad idea have the nudists

Never has Alicia Silverstone looked so clueless

 

2 The Fall

 

A bright sun comes out with its heat

Then, a cool breeze

On Howe ave, nana\'s place

Frosted Flakes

They say that time\'s money but really I\'m just tryina waste away

 

3 \'08

 

Peers all smokin\' weed

Talks about how fun it\'d be

Just turnin\' 16

Google then*1) sneak

About the 10th session later, lit deemed

Gettin\' hooked a bit seems

Somewhere to smoke, not too but

quietly

 

*1) \"then\" is pronounced \"thin\"

 

It\'s a kinda natural neutral accent, the same applies to the rest of the footnotes. I just used them where I thought you would really need them

 

4 August

 

16 years old, shoutin\' and screamin\'

A head full of dreams dreamin\'

The sun beamin\'

Sweat off of skin steamin\'

 

5 Open Letter

 

Enough mistakes made

Seemin\' to relate fades

From the old ways, change

For what have may placed

 

6 Lost

 

There\'s the bridge, to the right

Just over a hill, a cold winter 3rd Ward night

It\'s dark but a bit lit

A snow storm with an*1) inch

Not too many but just a few people on their way

Not too late

On such a lost path

All that\'s left behind\'s so sad

 

*1) \"an\" is \"in\"

 

7 Hope

 

Nothin\'s permanent these days

Not countin\' on much besides tryina get paid

Never\'s known what\'ll go which way

Love blind without feelin\' betrayed

 

8 No Love in the Heart of Town

 

Hot summer day

Fetty Wap heavy rotates

Done pretendin\' to find a God charades

Besides feelin\' not havin to try, nothin\'s changed

Jumped in 1 after another place

Robbed different ways

Just lookin\' for that hazy summer lake, under the tree shade

 

9 Sunset

 

Frequencies and wavelengths*1)

Through certain rivers human waste fish

Grassland swamp gasses on the way out the Secaucus train lift

I guess for what time\'ll forget to say, you shouldn\'t\'ve waited

 

*1) \"wavelenghts\" is \"wavelingths\"

 

10 Skateboards, Weed and Rap (The Holy Trifecta)

 

\"Yo, yo, it\'s the cops, run\'s!\" not what i ever tried to hear

Why get busted for somethin\' so mere?

How times wasted findin\' better deals, you\'d think it took place by the piers

Now, it\'s not so much of the dream that it would be, that it\'s near

 

11 Ghetto

 

A new found perspective of quote Jay Z\'s \'longshots\'

Flippin\' pages through Nike SB catalogs

About a grip of a hundred dollar wads

J. Cole and Kid Cudi in that order but Drake, my money\'s been on

Losin\' hope itd get legalized soon enough, takin\' a rip off of a 4 foot bong

Etnies, Emerica but Vans\'s tier top

 

12 No More Cold Winter

 

I mean, that I can say that we were ever that cool, it\'s not

More so that I\'d end up up north, I thought

My imagination was just always filled with stories about God

What was supposed to be a prank call, I tried to stop

Politics were differencin\'*1) at the spot

Really, I just saw a dumb kid who wasn\'t as hard as soft

I mean, that I think that he would be annoyin\' but shocked

I mean, that I guess that a lot was atleast partly my fault

 

*1) \"differencin\'\" is \"diffrincin\'\"

 

13 October

 

That it\'ll all end some day\'s what they all say

Cool temperature*1) without rain

I don\'t know about the eternal but I remember May

Thought more of as innocent, nature and people\'s crooked ways

It\'s gettin\' cold and dark as an uptempo fiddle plays

 

*1) \"temperature\" is \"tempricher\"

 

14 Warm

 

Why do worn, torn and dirty white Authentic Vans just look of a nice time?

How the moon at night would light sky

At intermittent intervals cast tight hooked bite line

Never before in a sight took bright by

 

15 Russia

 

In this off white sand, clear water beach, I might seem kinda chill but excited, be

I\'m tryina look at the sun but not for it exactly reach

It\'s warm with a cool breeze

The water\'s not too cool, off of the sun shiny

Right on the warm sand, I\'ll lay down and sleep

 

16 Texts

 

Your skin\'s got tanned more than a bit beige

Past this time before we\'ve stayed

It\'s already dark

A mess my room and head are

I\'m just layin\' down in bed

The air conditioner\'s to the coldest set

My phone plays music that I\'m listenin\' to on my chest

This heart pumps the sqwak\'s of seagulls at sundown but you could feel the stress

Then as well, the smallests of moments spent\'ll carry on in our steps

A couple of flashbacks stuck of what you had said

I reach for the chilled water and receive a notification of 1 of your texts

We met the loneliest of nights in a cold winter

Those summer vibes have been \'er

She\'s a girl just like you but brown

Ever findin\' her I\'m not sure of in my small town

 

17 Through Embers in Air

 

Sad to say that this book, when Winter unofficially does, ends

Night before daylight savin\', then

The way that a hot summer unraveled this mess

Winter fire filled enough to light your whole tent

 

18 Anime

 

Iriko dashi in the air from a miso soup steam

On a table\'s unsweetened green tea

Black wave curl locks shag on tan skin

Black, a bit round and square frames tipped over half shut brown eye\'s lids

A light grey hoodie and burgundy joggers transition*1) from Osaka to skater fit

 

*1) \"transition\" is \"trinsition\"

 

19 A Night of Dance

 

Through far lands crossin\' paths with this one romani

That she was the one that I\'d been lookin\' for, promised me

Carried on to say that back I\'d be

Made it to what they call the East China Sea

 

20 Local for Self Sustainable

 

The legalization of pot meant no more havin\' to hide

over top artist, Drake, monetary success compromised

A girl that I like that much, not ever, seems that I\'ll such find

Ago sometime in New Jersey chicks flock and into the river ducks dive
