Closure

Don’t know what I was looking for until I got ahold of it
Jumped out the plane with a parachute that had a hole in it
And I fell to Earth
With no instruction manual or a step-by-step
Had to learn how to comprehend my actions time and time again
But I’m here right now
And right now is all that’s guaranteed
I’ve walked through so much high water
This rain ain’t scaring me
It’s apparent these times we’re living in are inherently
Quite complex
See everything’s a contest
You kind of have to
Sift through the content
And hope for some substance
Quit bugging over small problems, it’s nothing but a bunch of nonsense
I’m back and forth
Backpacking my way with the bare essentials
All throughout this wilderness called life to find my potential
Penciling ideas down when I get them to see what sticks
Saying what’s on my mind and accepting intelligence
I’m proud of that reflection I’ve been seeing in the river
Guess I finally found some closure with the man inside the mirror
‘Cause I’m
Over it
Moved on
I’ve got closure
Signing a new song
I’m over it
Moved on
I’ve got closure
Signing a new song
Singing a new…
New everything like it’s witness protection
Like I just one the lottery
And a check with three segments
I got options
I’m operating smoother than I used to
You trying to be the best
I’m trying to be who the best move to
I was waging a war
Before I finally found peace
Fulfilled external desire before my internal needs
I had to readjust
I woke up to the sound of the breeze
I’m over it
I moved on
I’ve got closure
Signing a new song
Yeah I’m over it
I moved on
I’ve got closure
Signing a new song
Singing a new
New perspective
A new lease on life
A new direction
Yes, I drove all night
The Sun rose up
And now I’m feeling closer
I was under
But now I’m getting, getting, getting
Over it
I moved on
I’ve got closure
Signing a new song
Yeah I’m over it
I moved on
I’ve got closure
Signing a new song
Singing a new

The Floor Is Lava

What’s up
I’m free and loud
In a
World, ain’t no peace around
They got
Bomb threats on the TV now
They want to blow you up for just speaking out
But
I don’t get the kaboom, capiche
No
Ain’t no way they could beat the feet
Tell
Any Bowser
I’m a peach
Yeah
We gon’ take it to the street
I make love to the moment
I’m tuned in to the movement
Put my mood in to motion
I’m a man and I’m a mutant
I’ve got power, I’m gon’ use it
My ‘spidey-sense’ is grooving
I’ve been dancing through confusion
I found out that the truth is…
The floor is lava
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The floor is lava
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Pedal to the metal
Traffic light when it’s green
I go
Just like Jason Bourne
The car chase scene
You know
Lighting McQueen
And we go back to the front
Side to the side
Press fast-forward just to rewind
We do that just to remind us
Of how perfect the time was
Yeah
I’m a fighter jet
I’m a call to action
I’m a call your bet
So call me back
Please don’t forget
This motor is running
Like rev rev
I’m going, going
On the home run
Tried to run the globe and look what we’ve done
Just when you thought that you knew the beat
Uh
We took it to the street
I make love to the moment
I’m tuned in to the movement
Put my mood in to motion
I’m a man and I’m a mutant
I’ve got power, I’m gon’ use it
My ‘spidey-sense’ is grooving
I’ve been dancing through confusion
I found out that the truth is…
The floor is lava
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The floor is lava
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The floor is lava
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
The floor is lava
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I make love to the moment
I’m tuned in to the movement
Put my mood in to motion
I’m a man and I’m a mutant
I’ve got power, I’m gon’ use it
My ‘spidey-sense’ is grooving
I’ve been dancing through confusion
I found out that the truth is
The floor is lava
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

The floor is lava
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh
The floor is lava
The floor is lava
Ah

How Long
03:34

If the gravity gave in
Tell me how would you fall
If you had to go and repent
Who would be the first you’d call
I’ve been looking at my watch too much
I just can’t waste no time
As the Earth continues to spin
We just keep looking at the sky
Wondering
How long does it take
Before the cycle breaks
How long does it take
Before the cycle breaks
Before it goes up
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Up
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
And never comes down
How long
How long
How long
How long
Before it breaks
What’s the chance you will ever know
What do you miss if it never shows up
So much left to give on the home front
People die we share the same blood
Eight billion all from one seed
Half of that got more than they need
Wonder when that scale might tip
Wonder when we gon’ look at receipts
I just want to find my stride
Let the self-doubt go out of my mind
Everybody ain’t that kind
Find me a little piece of what I used to fear
Jump in head first
No protective gear
Hit the battlefield
No body armor
Nothing left to lose
I could not be calmer
How long does it take
Before the cycle breaks
How long does it take
Before the cycle breaks
Before it goes up
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Up
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
And never comes down
How long
How long
How long
How long
Before it breaks
Hourglass
Waiting by the end
By the water
Everybody’s
Draining
Hours
Being draining
Being
Being
Someone other
Every hour
Every day
Losing count of every way
There’s a new abuse of
One, two, three, four
I can’t force
You to see the fractions in the fiction
That we’re living in
Insisting
Everything is your decision
Because it’s not
No
Supercalifragilistic diction
Swinging on the two and four
This ain’t rigid
I’ve been thinking
How long does it take
Before the cycle breaks
How long does it take
Before the cycle breaks
Before it goes up
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Up
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
And never comes down

For The Love Of
03:11
|

Is it me or do the means not justify her ends
I’m lovestruck, I’m dizzy
I get the bends
I diss my friends
I’m coming from the bottom from where I fell
Trying to get some air
I’m drowning in a swell of your long brown dishwater hair
I’m suffocating
Your intoxicating air
Is mesmerized
Tractor beams
You’re my brown-eyed stare
Is it worth the struggle, my brother
‘Cause my tank is on E
She gives me everything I want that I forget what I need
Singing
I do
I do what I do
I do
I do what I do
I do
Uh, I do what I do
I do
Uh, I do what I do
For the love of you
Ooh, for the love of you
Yo
Is it me
Or do my means not justify my ends
I’m trusting my ambition
Huh
I know
Not again
No hesitation though
I’m bobbing my head
Wide awake and always saying I can sleep when I’m dead
I started downstream and swam up
Just to get knocked down in which I found laughter
Because I did something that I would be proud after
Effecting our affection that we shared with a passion
And you say you worry
Over my lack of a hurry
But I
Don’t know what’s worse
Being thorough or being thirty
I know at first glance clarity can seem blurry
But if you calculate every single step
You’ll miss your journey
Man
I do
I do what I do
I do
I do what I do
I do
Uh, I do what I do
I do
Uh, I do what I do
For the love of you
Ooh, for the love of you
Yeah
I do
I do what I do
I do
I do what I do
I do
Uh, I do what I do
I do
Uh, I do what I do
For the love of you
Ooh, for the love of you

Either Way
02:46

A wise man said you can’t predict the weather
We could struggle
Let’s just do it together
Life is velvet and it’s tougher than leather
But all materials aside you know it’s simply whatever
We
Decide
How we treat the bumpiest rides
How you look me in the eyes at the loveliest times
No, really
How come I’m the luckiest guy
That’s how I feel when we moving
I can’t wait to arrive
But
Forget the BuzzFeed news and open letters to
All the twenty-somethings titled How To Be a Better You
Listen
You need something for which you’re better suit
Let’s road-trip to a mind state with a better view
Don’t let the stakes marinate in your thoughts
Or you’ll be
Out of fuel ‘cause over thinking exhausts
You never
Truly feel like you really evolved
So when you hear the call
Answer that and proceed to talk
Like
Hello
Now theres a voice on the line
Could be your mother’s, brother’s, sister’s, cousin’s
Maybe it’s mine
Maybe it’s right
But listen maybe it’s wrong
But facing something is better than putting your face in your palm
There’s not an outcome you couldn’t come out from
We sit and wonder how come it still hasn’t happened yet
Why’s it feel like we’re swimming steel
What’s the deal with satisfaction and why we don’t have it yet
I’ve been the worst at times
I’ve been the greatest
I’ve lost the game at times
At least I played it
I’ve lost the bet but don’t regret that I made it
So when it’s going downhill
You know at least I’m gon’ skate it
Hah
Right
Coasting
(Uh)
Sometimes I’m high
Sometimes I’m low
Take the lead
Or follow
But I’ll survive
You knew I would
Win or lose
Either way, I’m good
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Either way, I’m good
Sometimes I’m high
Sometimes I’m low
Take the lead
Or follow
But I’ll survive
You knew I would
Win or lose
Either way, I’m good
