Hook: Forgot if I'm living in your world or mine Riding up and down the Purple Line Express service ride on into the night Here's a few lines I wrote just to kill the time Why do we always chase a certain high? Wonder what we'd do behind a curtain I'm like eight stops away from suburban life As I roll back to mine on the Purple Line We could roll back to mine on the Purple Line Verse 1: Mmm, I don't wanna leave without ya I ain't got a voucher You're sleeping while I'm waiting at the platform Don't play it down always making molehills out of mountains My payments down, blasting music over the announcements Should we be proud? Of the days as we count em Retrieving our memories it's aimless nostalgia I'm keeping my distance like Enron accountants and keeping my head up that's three years and countin Baby steps are a battering ram, let's push it hard till the glass ceiling shatters again, Growth mindset goals grounded right where I stand If it's in the cards you better grab the mic while you can, I ride my bike with no hands like the traffic's invisible Pull up right where you stand, breathing the physical spiritual Daydreaming again, please don't take it so literal Yield signs in the rear view blowing by em it's cyclical Hook:

Verse 1: Search for my identity, in this bottle for infinity Introverted tendencies try not to be a cynic See myself as a vessel, and I’m asking bout the future, I peeped it, could never give a fuck about a hater Or a demon or a beast cause I’m a creature in the mist In the midst of all these worries bout it…never snooze though Just took it all in stride like Cusco to get my groove back, Nevermind Stella, tell me how you measure, Berettas in the streets, and more fear bout the police and every night it’s trick-or-treat release the Kraken, Sometimes I guess the belly of the beast don’t even matter, but then again I see you and I think about this balance, and the trends fall in hate for the wrong reasons, Could never speak down on your name, cause I’m gon’ see you But this is not a Ripley’s baby, what do I believe in? Ironic how I have these thoughts whenever love is creepin’…I really mean it Hook: I can’t hear you now I’ll just lay back down Seen you all around But I ain’t make a sound… Verse 2: (L.A. Van Gogh) It’s a butterfly effect when I get in these moods I close off from the world in my caterpillar cocoon Although lonely and dark it is safe to assume That I’ll be spreading my wings ready to leave real soon Feelin’ like Bootsy Collins I’ve been deep in a funk Where the days blend together four weeks like a month Losing control over things...It’s easy to become somebody’s puppet when you only holding on by a string And it’s high tech hypnosis losing focus, my hope is, that I never become hopeless Hocus pocus people get to changing on ya Don’t go ghost homie I won’t go caning on ya Sun shining somewhere even when it’s raining on ya I’m sure that it’s scary on ya pale with the paranoia Constantly alarmed by what I see on the news I’m woke most days but today I’m deep in a snooze Hook: (Oddentity) I can’t hear you now I’ll just lay back down Seen you all around But I ain’t make a sound…

Verse 1: Some part of me still has feelings for the girl that I thought you should be One ounce of self-doubt when I met you would have been all the proof that I’d need Somewhere in my heart, time stops when I dream of you crying yourself to sleep but I’ve got too much growing I’m slow didn’t notice my mind playing tricks on me. Hook: Are you reading me? Don’t leave me out here stuck in the dark I’m feeling you with all of my heart, right now, I guess it’s just disposable trust, yeah disposable trust... What do you need from me? I invested all I could from the start, yeahhh and I’ve already played all my cards, babe I guess it’s just disposable love, this disposable that's got me going wild Verse 2: 6 months is time enough to keep me coming back to you It’s not that I need companionship but loneliness can be taxing too You’re all I ever wanted for a period of my life, But I barely knew myself my dreams abated by the strife Am I getting it right? Might twist the past like a knife Hook: Are you reading me? Don’t leave me out here stuck in the dark I’m feeling you with all of my heart, right now, I guess it’s just disposable trust, yeah disposable trust... What do you need from me? I invested all I could from the start, yeah and I’ve already played all my cards, now I guess it’s just disposable love, this disposable that's got me going wild

Hook: Please don’t be anything but real w me Please don’t be anywhere but here w me Please don’t be anything but real, you could feel for me still you’ve been everywhere but here for me Did you ever think you’d hear from me hear from me? Verse 1: Sit up straight, get your back right, You can see the stains on my soul like a blacklight Wriggle through the pain to evolve stay on track like Gotta do this right to have a chance to live the fast life Waiting in line I check my order twice, Stumble in and out of this space now I’m holding a mic One blink and I’m cold as ice, the brink of a poltergeist, Running through ideas what the fuck should I prioritize? Used to skate around my feelings till they’d just subside, took a piece from your heart before I saw the depth in mine Now my stress is high, flexing but I’m pressed for time, Contradict myself while my blessings stack up to the sky Check the vibe, sever ties, sanitize, wash rinse repeat can’t help but over-analyze I can handle mine it’s bright until the candles dry, now my body language got me lookin’ like a pantomime Hook: Please don’t be anything but real w me Please don’t be anywhere but here w me Please don’t be anything but real, you could feel for me still you’ve been everywhere but here for me - x2 Did you ever think you’d hear from me hear from me? Verse 2: Always fall right back into the same frame of mind, Where’s the growth in that? What are you aiming to find? Forget about what you lack, derive your strength from the time Spent loving yourself, I keep em fresh on my mind Can’t laminate your memories they’re fluid by design Contaminated only when your views are mal-aligned Deactivated feelings tend to surface by the time you hear These verses I’ll have crossed the fault line, damn… When we met I said the pleasure’s all mine, damn... Wait a sec should we just send it back to mine, yeah... Asking bout my aspirations they surround me all the time Never wait for inspiration I don’t really have the time, But it’s something truly beautiful our energies combined And every moment spent together I’ll remember as divine Even though sometimes, the line was ill-defined Between love and infatuation if I could just rewind I’d tell you… Hook: Please don’t be anything but real w me Please don’t be anywhere but here w me Please don’t be anything but real, you could feel for me still you’ve been everywhere but here for me Did you ever think you’d hear from me hear from me?

Hook: I’m doin’ alright so far, the road I’m on seems so long Just keep movin’ on yeah…movin’ on yeah I know that I’ve come so far, still I’m anxious can’t keep it calm But bet I’m movin’ on yeah, just keep movin’ on yeah Verse 1: I’ve always waited till the last minute Funny how that makes you act different Pushing myself to the last limit, Unload my thoughts on the track listen, Up in the clouds it was written go long for the pass I was smitten but now I’m past that Hit em with trap soul funk or jazz, an eighth and a quarter-inch in my backpack I ain’t got no fucking time to complain, pouring myself into every day Still the results are arriving so late, minimal progress I’m stuck in my ways Sitting back watching the times as they change and force my priorities to rearrange I keep it active and passionate making some magic I’m splashing and making a wave Hook: I’m doin’ alright so far, the road I’m on seems so long Just keep movin’ on yeah…movin’ on yeah I know that I’ve come so far, still I’m anxious can’t keep it calm But bet I’m movin’ on yeah, just keep movin’ on yeah Verse 2: Inner voice yelling at me Subliminal message receipts Never demanding the answers to questions I only endeavor to see, clear as can be, Perceiving signals that I never intended to read, leaving pictures in disposable cameras, drawers full of memories that you can keep, I walk by with my head down, and my walls up acting closed out Can’t stop time still I try it out, years roll by barely know how Said it’s alright, still ain’t sold out, do my own thing playing shows now coast to coast life never slows down, internally feels like a showdown Hook: Doin’ alright so far, the road I’m on seems so long Just keep movin’ on yeah…movin’ on yeah I know that I’ve come so far, still I’m anxious can’t keep it calm But bet I’m movin’ on yeah, just keep movin’ on yeah Outro: If I said it in song I meant it Iterating and learning my lesson Been sedated to deal with the pressure Ima face it and count all my blessings Quelling demons that grab at my neck and Tryna break free from all of the tension Meditating on love and connection taking it slowly I’m getting my steps in, Step out the wreckage, purple line flexing, Investing in passion could change your direction, Don’t text me again like I ain’t get the message Can’t help I’ve been wondering what’s your intention? Using my mind as a weapon Fuck all your honorable mentions This is free love and expression No need for color correction Now that I got your attention Now that I got your...
