Beacon

I took it for a kiss, but it couldn't have been, could it?

I see now what it is, we were just biting the same bullet

You called it in the air

it landed it on its edge

when the crowd gathers around

you turn tail

I turn heads

Shavin down the puzzle piece

tryna make a clean fit

Take what is lovely

leave before the rain hits

It's a heartbreaker for starters, as you age not too much changes

practice doesn't make perfect, just makes the game more dangerous

[Stef]

Start repo

negative sleep nauseous

barf party for sure

intelligent creep stalking awkward

Flush flustered rush for doors

advance fire-plan

handy with the way out

routes explored

Cover catching up

careful with your care

We don't go there, naw

We keep locks and keys steadily swallowed

never be followed, none of em dare

Channel up your anger leave it there

kindly disappear

Mind your mannerisms

I can't be flattered back

The patterns the concern

lessons prolly turned to fact

By now you'd surely drown yourself

before you'd help me with this sail

I'm the wind

crossed fingers for the win

Up to ten til they hammer in the very last nail

Challenging like every last stalemate

Deal with it

No mission ends

Precision lack of friends

Happily recommend nothing to no one, ever

[Cecil]

I know, I know

I know, wake up, wake up

But I don't go there, go there

She knows the way home

[Cecil]

You know your way home?

You gonna be all right?

Yeah, but I had faith that you'd see the light

and ride with me or kiss me goodbye

Now you got me feeding kites into the night sky

Covered them with nightlights, like, did you see the beacon?

I swear I let those kites fly around all weekend, no?

Well someone must have cut the lines or something, no?

Or maybe something, oh, you weren't looking

Ok Plan B just panic

run up the stairs and shut the door to the attic and don't come up for air

until you're torn from her fabric completely...

and just like magic, you're all in one piece again

But, I'm nothing like I used to be...

elusive and reclusive

Now I'm just both times a hundred... exclusively

Truthfully, I was blind to the deep end

until that piece of us went and died that weekend

[Cecil]

I know, I know

I know, wake up, wake up

But I don't go there, go there

She knows the way home

[Sims]

Then it flashed forward, but I asked for it

Rip out the doubt, I'm way too south

I gulped it up, I laid back

peeling off the layers

the mantra saying "fear can't stay here self see you later"

Fire chakra dissolve to ether

I have to meet her, I know she knows the way

I'll have to die twice, no novocaine

See the Eye of Horace, I am Osiris

I meet the devil, it ain't the first time

He kills me quick like I am nothing

Scream St. Peter, I need you now cousin

I see the owls coming, they float me safe

I learn their grace, they help me heal

I'm under stars peeling off my skin to rid my scars

it's the first time I am reborn, but I am not me

No identity, and I am finally free

I am my brother, I am my father

I am the sun, I am the water

I am an ion, I am everything

I am the vapor, a cloud of smoke

I am a cheap laugh, but I get the joke

I am a brief flash, the abstract
