CRICKETS

[ HOOK ]

I sing melodies in my head

And gotta sleep but i'm awake instead

The sky is a mirror, we can see the stars

If outside could be where we are


[ VERSE 1 ]

I hear the crickets they sing

Like "yo, i really wanna go camping with you"

I know that's straight out the blue

Like the best meth

You hold me down like fingernails to the grip tape before doing a flip trick on a tech deck

I wanna see my baby less stressed

But time's been harder than a Dwayne Johnson pec flex

Making up corny jokes to make you laugh

You make me glad like a plastic elastic bag

I catch feelings from an accurate pass

And though I got a past, who doesn't?

I'm buzzin like electric razors taped to a motorola razr taped to the head of a nearly bald Laker getting a taper, I'm as electric as a swimming pool full of poppin' tasers.. it's hectic

I know so, let's go deeper than baritones

Underneath this tree, we're alone

I could lean my head back and an apple would hit my eye, you know why?


[ HOOK ]

I hid my melanin beneath the moonlight

Where the hell you been, boy won't you come home soon?

The world is my trial and i leave my mark

Soon this world will know who we are


[ VERSE 2 ]

Cause we are

The cloud formations under a squint

And we are

The summary of our imaginations

And we are

The time lapse between the key and the note

As we start to feel the feelings that we haven't before

The ones we saw and we joked about..

But silently hoped about

To have in our nervous grips to hold on as we go about this world with it's open mouth that whispers through the wind

Guiding our souls toward the space of being a kid again

And again

I feel my younger days chokeslam the solitude

I guess when you lead a life of love the light will follow you

Distance and time intertwined like 2k college hoops, wonder if Delilah felt content between the miles dividin' boo

We used to be excitable

But now we're scared of disappointment

So we mute the screams towards ourselves, the voices hoarsen horsin' round to run away

I told myself that i'm a tourist

Gallopin' down to the therapist office for this appointment, and disappiontment
