Cotton Blue Sky


Came back home
For a while
I saw a thousand pretty kites
Fly high in the cotton blue
Sky

The wind was kind of dope
My mind was all afloat
I needed all of the
Space and time to
Relax

Its a swell day to go riding
Far out, heading east
Are we creatures, are we beasts?
You tell me

The blue skin
On the sky
It slowly peels, uncovers
All the chaos that it leaves
Behind

The water's been
Pumping lead
It's a poison you cant refrain
Spilling tox in the clear blue
Sky

Its a swell day to go riding
Far out, heading east
Are we creatures, are we beasts?
You tell me

It's time to leave
Home again
Airport food, bleeding ears
My head just cant take this
Daze

I left home, an empty bed
When i return, it will be the same
I am moving on
To where it
Rains

Its a swell day to go riding
Far out, heading east
Are we creatures, are we beasts?
You tell me

Forest Fire


Got handcuffed to my dream
I could not wake up
Left my foot in an escalator

Torn up between miles
From here on to Montreal
Got the cold bruise hit me hard on my face

Sleeping under ladders
Mirrors breaking over
Seven years have gone and i still don't feel good

My pulse is such a nail
Dead as the doorway
I have travelled all these miles to find it has been closed

My hands have all been tied
By the viens that run inside
I have locked myself to die in my own realm

Swallow storms of dust
My lungs are swollen sore
I cough up arrogance that burns out slow

Haunted by the lack
Lack of all that is known
I need someone to show me how it can be known

Struggling through this life
Like a bug in a forest fire
I came out alive but it wont be for too long

I am down
I am down
Down and under

I am down
I am down
Down and under
