The Sad Summer, part. 2: a Wondrous Story

Okay, ego is vital like
Tie-breaking free throws
In the land of the eagle
Somehow John Legend thinks
We're ordinary people
I would beg to differ but
I suffer from the pride
If you listen close you can
See where I reside
Somewhere near where wavy synths tend to vibe
Somewhere I can be myself with my tribe
Playin rocket league to pass the time
Most times I stray from the rudiments
Substitute trips to brick and motors
To collect my quarters borderline adornment
For my own disorder
It's so convenient to have my addictions
Feeds my everlasting need to
Live things different
Used to make raps about
Cartoons and spaceships
Now I make raps when I feel faceless
Truncate like old tapes so haters think
I'm tasteless but that's how
I make an audible representation of
How I'm feeling vacant but
Lately, bruh, I've liftin weights and stuff
Pretty liberating feel like I could
Go on dates and stuff
Take her to the movies if
The movies weren't 80 bucks
Cheapskate take her to the rink
For a free skate
Playin Alice dee jay when we roll up
Hope I don't die in Deltona
Probably die of boredom first driving down
Aloma With my eyes closed
Captain of the SS should've died
On a high note

It's at the tip of our tongue
Reach behind the teeth and lips
Can't reject your social functions
Luncheons with the unctuous
In high strung environments

Cause I'm too scared to fall
But nobody knows at all but everybody knows
Everybody knows weren't made for this shit

Went to Japan feelin worthless
Excited on the surface
Told everybody I had plans and all
But I was Tryna find purpose
It was a strange vacation
The things I hated made me feel amazing
I learned a lot but what stuck the most
Was don't fetishize a nation

I learned a lot about how we think
And how we share common dreams
And how we both struggle and love, and ego
And people and apologies
I'm breaking bread with anomalies
The fine line from fear to following
Time after time is enlightening
Fuck a sad summer
Looking for the brighter spring

It's at the tip of our tongue
Reach behind the teeth and lips
Can't reject your social functions
Luncheons with the unctuous
In high strung environments

Cause I'm too scared to fall
But nobody knows at all but everybody knows
Everybody knows weren't made for this shit
