lyrics
And so, it seems within my dreams I float away with you /
Too soon, I wake and I'm back here, my view's /
The same, confused, but does this mean it's true? /
I'm sure, but what's to say you'd even want this too? /
(1)
Absolutely nothin' /
Perhaps my view is stuck in looking at the past, I'm wondering /
Will I ever change the way I feel about the somethings /
Concealed, I keep 'em tucked, daren't reveal or feed my trust in /
Any ear who'd listen to me, secrets that I'm clutching /
Hear advice but rarely heed it, throw that healing in the dustbin /
Then take it out, unreel it, pick, I'm peeling at the subject /
Release that piece of unrest that's been eating me, I'm done lets /
Have a conversation an' explore the inner workings of it /
What's beyond the flippin' surface got it morphing into what is /
Often on my mind, the spiral, thoughts attacking twist again /
Breaking down my systems, seek assistance tryna live with them /
And at the start and end o t'day it's what I'm thinking when /
I'm sober or I'm drinking ten, mull it over, link the stem /
To either, sippin' tea contemplative of the 'is' and 'then' /
The world inside our head's created fantasies to live instead /
(Chorus)
And so, it seems within my dreams I float away with you /
Too soon, I wake and I'm back here, my view's /
The same, confused, but does this mean it's true? /
I'm sure, but what's to say you'd even want this too? /
(2)
But I don't think you would do, no /
Burnt once, too many times, took control /
And I try keep patient; the waiting game /
But I don't wanna wait in vain /
Done a whole lotta that, nearly went insane /
Then I dropped that bomb on a stress free day /
...bet you never saw that coming /
Looking over your shoulder the past, running up will you catch suttin'? /
Talk about off guard, whoa /
How's that for a plot twist, hold that thought /
Every word that I said was meant, yet I'm sure what I sent wasn't known /
I'm glad that I said them though /
Still could have timed it better /
Oops, did you hear that clang? /
Seemed like now or never, though /
And I wonder if your heart felt pangs? /
If it din't then I'm way off /
Just tell me to take off and I'll leave you be /
I just added to the chaos /
I never meant to, believe you me /
(Chorus)
And so, it seems within my dreams I float away with you /
Too soon, I wake and I'm back here, my view's /
The same, confused, but does this mean it's true? /
I'm sure, but what's to say you'd even want this too? /

Beat by King Slim
Easily the most interesting and lyrically impressive new hip hop record I’ve heard for years. Had me grooving, smiling, agreeing with almost every word and brought a tear to my eye. My wife loves it and she won’t usually even have hip hop on. Gets better with every listen, I’m still discovering new little pearls in it. Great set of beats on it too. Top work mate.
Got to go back to the first album and discover that now. filauge
