Hook: pilgrim
I’ve been drinking up my patience ever since the day it emptied into every move
Smoke and even out the forces sit with my endorphins playing with my fortitude
Verse 1: johdi
Stayed out and ate up the day, either got nothing or too much to say, hustle and bustle or comatose muscle, get to the point or be gettin to subtle, (yeah)
Beyond the feelings of failure, keep it one hun with myself I’ll be major, gotta do that for the people that aint here
Rudolph the reindeer I been through the fog
Verse 2: johdi
Fuck around tryna do the right thing, hunker down life’ll hit you with a mean swing
No more clowin, don’t cower in tight spots, I’m just hopin that you there when the mic drop
Think I’m more idea than man lately, never get a break cuz I think it’d break me
Face limitations, impatient, waitin it’s just not me, (yeah it’s just not me)
Hook 2: pilgrim
I’ve been drinking up my patience ever since the day it emptied into every move
Smoke and even out the forces sit with my endorphins playing with my fortitude
Break: johdi
Blood in my eyes, but I feel divine, yeah I feel divine, yeah yeah.
Verse 3: D’fish
Fragile just like paper, when you are honest, that's just my nature
Feel like I’m so fragile, just like paper, feel like I’m nothin but
Know that im somethin
Verse 4: johdi
Real talk, burned through my savings dawg, but that mean the life outta satan’s claws
Say money is god but the payment’s lost, for music a fiend can’t take withdrawals
Bank that the next bop pay this off, attention to detail, I only do me well, I really do mean well, but shit gettin mean while I feel wild
Outro: pilgrim
You’ll never see Berlin in the summer and lean out the window and say I love ya
I’d trade all my truths for a sliver of you light when it turns to gotham winter

Hook: pilgrim
Gonna hold it down and keep it close
It’s the devil that you know no one else can see it it’s just you alone
It’s the devil that you know
Gonna hold it down and keep it close
It’s the devil that you know no one else can see it it’s just you alone
Pray you’re resting :l
Gonna hold it down and keep it close
It’s the devil that you know no one else can see it it’s just you alone
It’s the devil that you know
Verse 1: johdi
Thing’s been better lately trust me they been worse
Since you not around, I been living hurt
Gettin off the ground, brushing off the dirt
I been more awake, I been more alert (woah)
Sometimes all it take is the simple words
Find my own lane, keep a steady swerve
Yeah the phone rang, but it’s never heard
I’m just watching birds, let em chirp
Hook 2: pilgrim
Gonna hold it down and keep it close
It’s the devil that you know no one else can see it it’s just you alone
It’s the devil that you know
Gonna hold it down and keep it close

Pray you’re resting :l
Verse 2: pilgrim
When’s the right time put the candles out
When does my room go back to normal
Noone asks bout you anymore
I’m assuming
They don’t wanna bring it up
They think it’s gonna bring me down
But I still got the pictures up
I can promise I think about it anyway
Bridge: pilgrim
Waiting on that call that’ll rock me
Fuck my world up get me lonely
Too many times now I learned the wrong way
Got all these signs now just part of my day
Hook 3: pilgrim
Gonna hold it down and keep it close
It’s the devil that you know no one else can see it it’s just you alone
It’s the devil that you know
Gonna hold it down and keep it close

Pray you’re resting :I

Hook: johdi
Can’t you tell, I been living well
gimme gimme hell, built for it now
I been on the prowl, hunt for the crowns
Keep the music loud, you gon hear me out, cmon now x2
Verse 1: johdi
Sittin pretty yeah, catch me on a good day
You could kick your feet up, this is not a footrace
I be on my own two, fuck what the rest say
You can keep the leisure, I be more the leader well okay
Tip the scales like the waiter was a libra
Most don’t know balance, I don’t know it either
I been knowin damage, I been growin meaner
The flow go cleaner, closer to god teaser
Slow heater, turtle on a hot day
All expense paid trip through your lost ways
This flambe, a fire dish you cant plate
Try to cool me down I really just can’t behave
Verse 2: D’fish
beat up by the cost of this winter inside let my best side die like a sinner imma grow cold let the world know i need patched up but i cant sew actin like a little kid everyone say no no life’s too fast paced in the past though working most days with no bankroll i’m a lost cause with potential

I been on the prowl, hunt for the crowns
Keep the music loud, you gon hear me out, cmon now x2

Lifetime guarantee
Pay a fee til you have nothing
Have a lot and then it’s free
That’s a natural property
Fast summit to the peak
Bridge: D’fish
I feel like a diamond in a cage. How could I be more out of place in the city i’m in now, now.
Verse 3: Nomé
Ayo Fishy Fysh pass the soul stone
So I can turn this home Alone flow into Richie Rich
It feels like my motors moving so slow
Might need me some kerosene to get me lit
Yes I got your text my
Answer wasn't cancelled it's just postponed
Until I get a lift outta this tar pit
Become a Lark with ladder under armpit
Until I find a spaceship I can fly and learn to park it
Far away
On saturn with the swagger of a Martian
That's all I need
Because I got no fuel in the arteries
Less moonlight is charging me
My Mood just might fall like leaves
My movement might stall like E
This the art of life for a martyr that spars with beats gently
I don't need a Benz and the Fenty and the Bentley
I feel like retiring barely in my twenties
Going down a spiral I'm empty
Nothing that's inspiring the mind though the eyes
see plenty

Intro: johdi
Holdin out for somethin else, now I just gotta deal with myself
Know I feel what I felt, knowing that it’s fear that’ll hold me down
I give all i can, cuz that’s all i got, it’s love and it’s pain, and they one and the same
Verse 1: pilgrim
I could live inside your mind I don't really know if I should
Doing everything you like you know that I won't but I could
Think I wouldn’t play your side stay in one lane ride shot gun
Never been honest but
Hook: pilgrim
Maybe you put me on a throne again
all alone again maybe you
maybe you put my heart on a throne again
all alone again cuz maybe you
Maybe you put my heart on a
Refrain: johdi
Fell out with someone that would keep me under ceiling
And I lost so much it’s hard to breathe but still I’m breathin
Going through it basic language be the truest
Faced and foolish, fade minutia no illusions
Verse 2: Nomé
You gave me that feeling
Thought I was blue blooded
Where is my ceiling
Where is the proof of it
Thought I was cool runnings
All of what's true wasn't
I need a new summit to fall from
Crown me the fool
Hook 2: pilgrim
Maybe you put me on a throne again
all alone again maybe you
maybe you put my heart on a throne again
all alone again cuz maybe you
Maybe you put my heart on a
Bridge: johdi
Fly no angel’s wings
And I won't make my mind up
Think I’d hate the fame
But i’m gon love the climb up
And I don’t wake the same
Every night I’m riled up
My own weight to gain
My own weight to blame x2
Hook 3: pilgrim
Maybe you put me on a throne again
all alone again maybe you
maybe you put my heart on a throne again
all alone again cuz maybe you
Maybe you put my heart on a

Verse 1: johdi
Keepin with the motion that’s mostly hopeless
Ghost in the graveyard focus
Most of these posers it’s no sense makin any of it
Stay in the cut slow rising above it
I could just get through to me what does it
Mean for the means, and the ends, and the money
Crows for the covent, spit fulla witch brew
Prose fulla boastin I know y’all love it
I can not breath with the drums not pumpin
Sob in a stream when the angels comin
House in the green where it’s only summer
Love been the mission it’s real no wonder
First day of sun till it’s six feet under
Breathe and then repeat, lovely to see me
Heart off the sleeve put it right on the CD
Heart off the sleeve put it right on the CD
Verse 2: pilgrim
She said something bout you kids you better come back quick
I can tell this place runs through you it’s what makes your blood thick
Go and do your own thing it’ll stay right here
But when you come back
Still silence unmatched
Chorus: pilgrim
No no sound
Go get my go get my ground :l x2
Verse 3: Nomé
Floating in orbit threw all of my chips on the blind
I can't fold anymore
It's too late to Forfeit
I think I should force it
At least I can say that I tried
If they're red I'm ignoring the signs
Only swim when the waters are wide
The apple lands far from the tree that it falls off and dries
Bridge: pilgrim
Time’s right maybe when the time’s right I’ll be on the first flight :l x2
Time’s right when I go with her
Time’s right when I’m like the river
High stakes don’t go with forever
Someday everyone withers
Outro: johdi
Push beyond the basics you’ll be on your way
We all on the same trip we dont have a say
It’s all animation they all lookin fake
So paint up the face, no favors from fate x2

Verse 1: pilgrim
It’s always grey over the rooftops I’m gonna feel better whether it’s the weather or not
Sometimes I like to pretend at night that they’re skyscrapers and I’m living a different life
Bridge: Nomé/Pilgrim
The heat is just a swindle
Tired from the winter
Fire from the window
Dying when it dwindles
Sun from the reflection
Only light I'm catching
Sun from the reflection
Only light I'm catching
Outro: pilgrim
Know you’re looking for your light and I hope you get it
I’ve been in this fight since all those that left it
Writhing in the dark cuz I guess I let it
Somewhere looking down I know there’s a
Skyscraper :l
It’s never been easy but always was simple :l

Verse 1: pilgrim
Everything feels closed in
Sneaking peeks of pink through cracks in the buildings
I will do alot to pick up any little pieces
Like spots of sun that shine through the leaves on the streets
It’s flickering silver in the cottonwood trees
Murky river top looks like mercury
It’s pulling on my strings
There’s a certain swelling when I look at these things
Verse 2: Nomé
Cold feet, walk less
No light, darkness
Not yet, must go
Warm heart, hot head
Can't wait, process
Monsters, loch ness,
Must row, must dive
Must hide, no mind
For the things that are lined with the silver
I cried over things that you might think are little
I need you to meet up me here in the middle of the street
If I bleed I'm complete I can't be bitter bout it yeah
Bridge: pilgrim
All those little thing outside not breathing fine
Look at what’s come of me I’m tired
Can’t wait to be the night :l x2
Outro: choir
Sometimes I remember in my dreams
All the promises on many
I’d makes something of me
That if and when I do get lost
I would think of those I’ve lost
Write it on my forehead and
Point me towards the mirror :l

Verse 1: Nomé
Crazy how this shit faded
Thought it was thick plated
Until our social circles wasn't dictated
Were we better off at seventeen?
Now radio silence is the sensation I've been picking up like we enemies
But even enemies talk
What we used to use was telepathy
Is our friendship on snooze is it hella Z's
Is there anything to lose in the endless stream
Or is it the memories we edit
Is it better just to let it be I don't know
I'm not McCartney so I doubt that you'll hear this
You might be John Doe at the moment but if you call me in need something I'm Rondo with the assist
It feel we was just in your condo throwing honey on weetabix
Funny how we can go from a combo to seeing pics
When we scroll through the photos in which we look like we don't know where we gon be in six
Until we meet again
Hope ya life sunny and never reign like Beatrix
Hook: johdi
And I might just go crazy that don’t take me long
And my faith been so shaky lately i don’t know
Real friends from the rest, i’m hopin that I’m wrong
For now, I just lay up in your cradled arms
Verse 2: pilgrim
I’m outside waiting to arrive and then see it on your face
In all those familiar ways I love working my way towards it
My favorite day has come already a few times
I’m usually laying in the grass and just so in the right place
I’m so so in the right place just there there just tucked away :l
Bridge: johdi
I just ask a little patience
I be going through them changes
If I get there I’ll let you know
You don’t have to wait for me though x2
Hook 2: johdi
And I might just go crazy that don’t take me long
And my faith been so shaky lately i don’t know
Real friends from the rest, i’m hopin that I’m wrong
For now, I just lay up in your cradled arms

Verse 1: johdi
Nothin stayin sacred, least of all relations
Captain of the ship and the sea test my patience
Oh another day trip? Oh we gettin wasted?
Haze to the face keep the brain low maintenance
It’s aimless
He ain’t no rock star studder
Feelin all the heat in the cut like butter
Will no other, see less color
Taste get duller, I been so numb yeah
Cuz this occupation overpopulated
Everyone debated on, everyone the greatest
Tell me how to make it wrong, tell me how to fake it
Tell me how to lay alone, countin all the cake up
Hangin on the hangups, you should make more bangers
Tell me how to do this shit again I’ll fuck you way up
I just want my rent paid, wrote it in cement ay
I’m just doing my thing, I’m just doing my thing
Verse 2: pilgrim
These dirt roads they remind me where I come from I come from oh
When the world cuts I like to think about the sun and dust the sun and dust oh
Verse 3: johdi
I’m playing black keys, I want that gold ceiling
Please attack me, I want the whole feeling
I want the whole world to know me
So I can turn my back on it and leave it lonely
cappin on the face ay, I’m just feelin unsafe
Hunnid thousand some ways
I could stay this mundane
Let me on this lunch break
I could throw the sun shade
Tired of hearing someday
Break: pilgrim
Time to go away for a while and find that wild place where it started
No one tells me how but I find it, and I’ll find it again :l
It’s too late, before it gets too late to go home :l

Verse 1 Nomé
The slightest breeze will bend a will that's made of weeds
They don't follow dreams they follow twitter feeds
They'd rather follow suit than follow tendencies
Same breed to label you insane to go against the grain until you lead
Can't fit into the footprints that's smaller than a fourteen got bigger feet
What's mine is mine they can only kill it if it tends to bleed
Can't find the time to intercept the energy that's iodized
Balancing a tight rope like a wire wide
These Memories of my graduation bittersweet
Haven't changed the way that I pretend to be the center of the plot
Like I was pitching knuckleballs in little league that's smilies but sadly no demand for all the metaphors I jot
But it's cool to travel roads where the sun is dormant
Greater fortune within your fortune is unimportant
The only shape I fear to be in is in one with corners
Constantly reference forms in orbit to underscore it
Verse 2: pilgrim
I could be at the top of tower looking out on a city
I could be floating downriver
Picking flowers in a field but nothing feels real
Everything looks like a
Screensaver a screensaver :l x2
Verse 3: johdi
Tears on the way
Six AM sun comin out, I’m on the bridge smokin and drank to the face
Thinkin what kinda life I’m bout to face
thinkin what kinda life I'm bout to waste
Often I plotted escape
often I ran from the pain
Buried my brother and tore up my brain
It’s more of the same
But now I know I chose to be here
Memories seared into gray tissue
Everyday I look back
Everyday I miss you
And call me crazy but my clarity increased greatly
I know my worth I know my worst and I feel fuckin saintly
The pressure levitate me
I’m runnin tank on empty
I’m on my second life, don't you dare to ever tempt me
I’m paranoid and petty, I’m carin more than most
I’m in my fuckin bag, I’m bout to leave em ghost
Lo and behold It’s not many like this
Older the soul the more you gon like this
Glowin up slow but lovin the likeness
Not with the bullshit I’m beyond like bye bitch uh
Hold all the cards while you die bitch uh
King of the castle they comin for crowns and I hope that we tussle
Better not play this on shuffle
screensaver (hidden track)
Verse 1: Nomé
Like I'm staring through a telescope at noon
On a hot and sunny archipelago in June
I can't see a thing above the level O that's tellable from Moons
Can't exactly glorify competitors I choose
Or put em on a pedestal to swoon over
Hella broke but soon I'll be on Ellen tellin' Jokes that's unforgettable of how I met celebs in every Stu I travel through as a professional and how I think a session overdue
I'm day dreaming again feel like I've been doing more of that than catching sleep
I practice in the shadows for my arrogance to peak
So you won't hear half a peep if I
Complete a masterpiece
I try to dodge the blunders while I stalk discomfort
Too many people struck by what is often thunder
Without the lighting just flashing lights that awfully bright
The only star worth that sorta praise, the sun I'm walking under
Verse 2: johdi
I only catch this groove on winter days
Moving in between the shadows, feelin like I’ll never age
Neverland where heroes stayed when we were growin up
But now I know some kids who really never growin up
Well I hope I grow enough
These days it’s all internal
Tip toe for that top shelf still
I got ripped outta childhood but my spark still flicker
And if I stand on stage at least to them I look bigger
This shit a game of twister
Tangled up in others lives
Only reason I keep mine
Think at one point I loved her but I couldn’t say I miss her
Few years down the line the broken heart a fully working ticker
So please deliver us from boredom and monotony
I ain’t felt neither since I grabbed the mic and learned some keys
Conversation keep it sparse but on the record spazzin out
Nothing like this sort of peace
Play that outro when we out
Verse 3: pilgrim
Don’t feel like I’ve looked up in so long
Seeing stars as they are always wrecks me
I wonder if and when it will go wrong
I wonder if I’ll give this song all of me til’ there’s nothing left
I shine with all I got to see my light reflect
Do you believe in karma :l
