lyrics

I wrote this on top of a parking garage
From 8 stories up it’s all a dark mirage
I got a lot of problems but no need to list them
Cuz right now my friends are birds and HVAC systems
The wind talks louder up here I’m trying to listen
The hum of the fans is sweet drone music
I want to take the whale's ambient songs and fuse it
Excuse me will I kiss the sky
I’m watching clouds go by
I wanna fly like them by the end of this verse I’ll try
I can see inside of your penthouse you’re lonely like me
Only difference is you’re hollow and I’m not
My soul been full from alarm clocks and rot
But I fermented it into nutrients and minerals
Metamorphosis this fungus is spiritual
I feel these mycelial roots connect to other artists
We inspire each other death to jealous martyrs
I like the ladders up here I see them as metaphors
Like no matter how high you are you can get higher
And when you’re learning to fly you’ll need help trying
The litter up here is a reminder too
Like even if you’re on top they’ll toss you when they’re through
Pigeons are buddhas they cock their heads with curiosity
Displacement over time tell me what’s your velocity?
Standing on the edge this is my final act
The pigeons come down they say step back relax

free your mind
If I jump will I die today?
Or if I jump will I fly away?
If I jump will I die today?
Or if I jump will I fly away?

I run to the edge and I jump off, gravity got me, get your mop
No parachute so I wont stop, I'm bumping Pharcyde as I drop
I fall by feathers, I fall by the grief I fall by the lies we pushed beneath
I fall by him, I fall by she, I fall by the people I used to be
I fall by betrayal and lies, I fall by knives, falling through me
I fall by denial, I fall by clarity, no nostalgia, now I can see
I fall with patience, I fall like a sim through the simulation
What if my falls a hallucination, I can feel space time breaking
I fall through a lucid dream, waking life things aren't what they seem
I fell through my tears, it felt like an ocean trying to scream
I fell into my fears, illusion, I'm trying to coup my ego's regime
I'm almost to my concrete bed, my life is flashing before I'm dead
The pigeons came, my eyes turned red then I started craving bread
I grew claws, I grew a beak, my neck was rainbow gasoline
I grew feathers, I started to fly, my arms turned to wings
Now I'm chilling on a statue just shitting on human beings
