lyrics

[Mom]
When we walk to the edge of all the light we have
And take that step to the darkness of the unknown
We must believe one of two things will happen
There will be something solid for us to stand on
Or we will be taught to fly

Smoking on depression let me ash it out the sun roof
Joy and pain, I'm just searching for some truth
Sunshine and rain, I'm running through this Maze
Like Frankie Beverly my words are my weaponry
Penmanship deadly, melancholy medley
Rain falling like confetti the full moon fed me
Pushing through despair I see joy crying
Depression is smiling this paradox is violent
In between nostalgia and doom I'm trying to find tao
No cult of personality, no grammy win bow
Each song's a chrysalis, I'm trying to find where chris is
The monarch's antennaes started transmission
The butterfly said make worlds and stop resisting
A synonym for love is to give time and listen
I inhale harmony and exhale control
Let me grow some tomatoes and listen to the crows

[K.Raydio]
Took a little walk around the block not long ago
And every little lie behind my truths said I told you so
But I ain't going down that road again my friend no more
No I ain't going down that road again my friend no more
It's time to start the show

Um, I don't have a heart just a spirit halloween
I lost it in a contract from this fake music scene
Let's inspire others to make art and create
A song can stop a suicide, can you relate?
I never hit rock bottom just close enough to touch it
I know who i am so my attitude is fuck it
Graveyard soil I grab it and clutch it
I know the worms are waiting I'm climbing the summit
Labels said I couldn't cut it, bars sharpened left em gutted
It took you publicists we did it with passion and no budget
Doubt in my palm i close my hand and I crush it
No longer fear's puppet I slice the strings and I love it
Pops said don't compromise a flower never rushes
In the clouds like Deck and Guru I rise above it
No Premier needed what's a critic but a cop who judges?
Tired of raging the machine we cut the cord and unplugged it

[K.Raydio]
Took a little walk around the block not long ago
And every little lie behind my truths said I told you so
But I ain't going down that road again my friend no more
No I ain't going down that road again my friend no more
It's time to start the show

Back and forth hiding mine which feels valid?
Thoughts and emotions mix up like a salad is
Hard to communicate, feeling no one can relate
Reaching out, no enough, so much bullshit on your plate
So watch me innovate, owe it to my fuckin self
I took some time away put my heart back on the shelf
I took some time today, stretch out meditate
Phone off, operate can I put cooperate?
But that's not what I meant to say
I found another way
I found another way
