[charlie Burg & Isaac Lewis]:
Closing off to hold it together
Close enough to know it won’t let up
It’s cold out here, just north of you
At the seams, of open wounds
It’s cold to know you can’t feel that with me
Or feel that for me
[Isaac Lewis]:
White sheets over golden ruins

The mirror chipping shoulders i need to hold up your world
Watching you leave it, got me grieving
Los angels losing centre pieces, my inner body indecent
With my body double jaded, been floating through conversations, been on cheap vacations to my mainline, my main life
Aching for the main land, and my ways back, reconnect with my blood line. best believe n***as know, i been chasing lows
I been chasing - loaves, i been chasing loads
The cold distilled, the cold distilled me down left me bare for you, imagining me
Whole and still, and whole and still - whole and still and whole and still
The cold done stole the cold done stole, from me, the peace i keep when, imagining you, cold but still
The cold distilled, the cold distilled me down,(down) a dream too deep imagining you, imagining me
The cold distilled the cold distilled and bounced, with that mourning zeal, imagining you, cold but still, and cold but still - here
Throw out throw out, thoughts of before thaw out, that thirst for life, think fast, ‘for your too far too far too far to find;
Daylight, fading, far out, inward, zoning, time zones, alien, daybreak - wading, drifting, i wait for, whips of wisdom to slip through, chinks in rhythms i need to fix the chip in the issue, crux of matters that sit too, deep for deep dives to get too high to sweep up the pieces, far too far too far. Far out of pace but pinned in place and a apart from stems that keep my frame in effect, my hold on it all sure fades with neglect
