lyrics

Deep deep eyes not the swimming hole kind
Deeper than your neighbor's pool
She's growing in size
A polyglot in the bedroom but when I'm inside
It's slow going like moss

Got the family eyes
Lost in toll road limbo on the drive
I need to shake I wanna cry
We sit and we sing
Can we tell each other everything?
Not the roles just the being

We want our people to be a certain way and when they change
The mind clings for the same
You don't need to change me and telling you that is me trying to change you to not change me so change me

Just because there's western friction inside us all
Doesn't mean we're stuck
Just because the standard emoji is white
Doesn't mean that is should be that way
Just because we didn't work out this time
Doesn't mean you didn't teach me
Just because I can't float on my back
Doesn't mean that I am sinking

I write bangers and anthems
I'm currently blessed with a playful constitution
The wind comes and the wind goes
Is there an algorithm to karma?

I'm exhausted
You had a child
Let's all get reborn

Stick to the plan
Do something different
