The Ocean

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

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

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
