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

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
