THE RIVER
THE RIVER
THE RIVER
I’m tired of being the rock
That can be shaped to the rivers’ desire
Whatever you need me to be
I can be that –
Long, sleek; curved, jagged;
Though it may take time,
I can be bent to your will
And resemble something beautiful.
Something worthy of photographs
And poems
And admiration
Perhaps someday
I will want to be carved no more
And the urge to cut
And shape
And control
Will overtake me once again
And I’ll barrel through the impossible
Leaving behind only what matters
Perhaps someday
I’ll be the river
Not the rock
And I will be remembered for
the force with which I created,
And not for what I allowed to be left of me

HEARTBREAK SUMMER
[Verse 1]
Fearin' not growin' up
Keepin' me up at night
Am I doin' enough?
Feel like I'm wastin' time
[Pre-Chorus]
Promise to get a little better as I get older
And you're so patient,
you're sick of waitin'
Promise to do better
Should've, could've,
probably wanna let me go
But you can't, oh...

[Verse 1]
Divin' in the pool tonight
Sinkin' in the blue light
Looking up at starlight
It glitters on the surface
[Chorus]
I haven't heard a word you said
Don't tell me now, while I'm ahead
I haven't heard a word you said
Don't tell me now...

[Verse 1]
Round your city,
round the clock
Everybody needs you
No, you can't make everybody equal
Although you got beaucoup family
You don't even got nobody bein' honest with you
Breathe 'til I evaporated
My whole body see through
Transportation, handmade
And I know it better than most people...
I don't trust 'em anyways...
