[Verse 1: Slug]

Tap tap tap click the globe against the moon

For the next tune we'll let the camera zoom into the bedroom

The more she raises her voice, the less I really hear

The more she leaves the house, the less I spend on beer

All thoughts are clear

Chain smoke a box of Reds

Got to shed this excess gear before we cross this bridge

If we make it to the opposite side of where we stand

We can get some land and make a plan

Woman and man

But your only twenty something are you ready to change?

You've accomplished plenty running

Are you tired? Are you hungry?

Up to no good, but down to try to harder

To depart and sever the old ways of gauging the weather

And when they ask if you treat me right

I have to lie and yes if I'm to answer the question

Here I dance again in front of the mirror, solitaire

Wondering where you are, what's the time, why am I losing all my hair?

If I could cook half as good as you looked

I'd trade in my head phones and my notebook

For all the time you took up to shine

Shook up my alignment, hooked up to silence

Cause these footsteps is my steps


[Verse 2 : Slug]

Ok enter mommy's little sociopath

Hoping I have the sober cells left

To taste the smoke on her breathe

Chosen my steps

Prepare to pour an ear fill

Trying to drive her soul

Keep your hands on the steering wheel!

One at nine the other at three

Won't ever find another like she

I call it thief because she took it

Put the key in the hole and started upsetting cruise control

BAM! Hit a tree, my fault I wasn't looking

Distracted, but ain't no body acting surprised

Mapping out a plan to put me back in her eyes

She laid her hand on my thigh

Damn near went blind

And spread my wings to fly and clear my mind

And usually I'm at top of the game

At least I used to be

This is new to me

I can't explain what you do to me

Moving me, seducing me, inducing me, reducing me down

To figuring or not how I can go about improving me

Soon we'll see

This whole world will see this

Superhero features

But girl is the weakness

Speaking to the mirror trying to gather my reflection

Sold my sense of direction for some affection

Now I'm straining, striving, trying to see the ocean

I'm riding, driving, I'm trying to make it to the ocean

Lifting up every shell and holding it up to my ear

I'm trying to hear the ocean, I got to feel the ocean (2x)


[Verse 3: Slug]

Deep within I swim a river of lust

Beginners luck

Rising tide injures the crust

Hunger, feed my need to free my seed

I cry, I bleed, I fly, I flee

I try an be everything to each partner I find

But the bottom line is rain always starts in the mind

I climb inside the rhyme

And riddle the growth of the stone

And sip and swallow her aura

Hit it closer to home

It's a quarter 'til two

I'm still waitin' anxious

Got to surface, the tools, the motivation to paint this

Don't know which colors to use, detail is not my game

So now I’m through differentiating heaven and pain

I'm just another stray cat trying to rest my tail

Prepared to go to war but scared to check the mail

She's a bird with crippled wings

Intrigued by the simple things (you’re too simple, you're too simple)

You can take the bone out the chicken

But you can't take my girl out to lunch without me thinking

Probably something’s up

If you can’t take it with you then fuck it I ain’t going

I’ll just sit here for now and dream about the ocean

Caracoling through this contagious carnival of carnage

Wearing a name tag that says artist

Holding the harness, controlling the motive

Floating the waves

Looking for that ocean

Now I'm straining, striving, trying to see the ocean

I'm riding, driving, I'm trying to make it to the ocean

Lifting up every shell and holding it up to my ear

I'm trying to hear the ocean, I got to feel the ocean (2x)
