Lyrics

Man, there's just so much on my mind
Gotta relax
~exhale~
Yea, yea, yea
Damn
I'm calm
I'm calm
Damn, damn
Well here goes nothin'
Without a vision of what's inside
How could a dreamer submit to his pride
Referencing only faded light to confide in himself?
I don't know
Helluva question
And how does one expect to know himself
Without astute recognition of his wealth
Each move mandated by all his fails
I don't know
Although I took calculus, I can't calculate this fraction
Signing on the dotted line to soulful compaction
Incubating discontent till it's fully hatchin'
Then expectin' opulence from this Life no mansion
Scattered patches
Difficult to build a quilt
Tryin' to shake another person's hand on a stilt
Adjacent to my guilt like universal energy on a tilt
Orbiting a band of roots connectin' leaves that have wilt
That have wilt wilt
Good thing my cup's half full
Relent the tempt to pull
Remove the tenta-cle
I got this grip confused
Seem way too amused
Distorted vision good Lord got me seeing twos
Tired of this abuse, the self-inflicted version
Move on, peruse and hope it doesn't worsen
Wouldn't say that mode's a good plan of attack
You probly catch me sittin' back with a tip of the cap
Stay Calm
Stay Calm, yea
I stay calm
I stay calm
Can't let'm see your palms sweat
We at 'em
Ohhh
Tired of this abuse, the self-inflicted version
Move on, peruse and hope it doesn't worsen
Man, you gotta get out of your own way
Please
I wouldn't say that mode's a good plan of attack
You probly catch me sittin' back with a tip of the cap
I mean I guess I could say that I, I get it
Can someone tell me?
Without a vision of what's inside
How could a dreamer submit to his pride
Referencing only faded light to confide in himself?
I don't know
Helluva question
And how does one expect to know himself
Without astute recognition of his wealth
Each move mandated by all his fails
I don't know
C'mon man, it's time to step it up
I think I need to put my ego aside
I think I need to let go of my pride
I think that most are used to lookin' ahead
Instead of lookin' at the current next to their own tide
Are you buildin' on the vision fueled by Hell's own fire
Opposite the way I feel about my own Empire
At this rate, who know's, I'll make two
Even though my soul will stay glued
To the tune, major to the chord that many play to
Will that wake you
Or will you rest your head?
Numb to the sentiment felt by so many wide-spread
To disparity in all of its clarity
Manifested in a youngin' tryin' to live in this scarcity
Sourcin' fashion at that Nordstrom or Calvin
All while we fail to understand we cut from common thread
I mean there's more similar than there is different
All while we fail to understand we cut from common..
Without a vision of what's inside
How could a dreamer submit to his pride
Referencing only faded light to confide in himself?
I don't know
And how does one expect to know himself
Without astute recognition of his wealth
Each move mandated by all his fails
I don't know
