Exile
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
