lyrics

[Verse One]

Another foggy morning
My eyes carry scenes from a long night
The rain is pouring. Gotta pack my bag
And catch my next flight.
I try to write my story
But think my whole life
And all the other stories
Of everything I’ve touched:

A couch in Texas
A woman I loved so much.
I think of her necklace.
My hands on this coffee mug.
The lint in my pockets now blowin in through the laundry vent.
A light socket at an elementary school where I went
Footballin’ kicked the ball across the fence
And I wonder yall if the fence is still bent
From the shape of my nine year old leg.

And I wonder yall if the lent blow out that laundry vent.
Into the wind where it get swept against that old fence
Cuz it all connect. Cuz it all connect. Cuz it all connect.

[Bridge]

I’m floatin’ with cosmos holdin’ on to everything.
I’m floatin’ in the cosmos lettin’ go of everything.

[Hook]

I’m Floatin in the cosmos
In the living room of somebody house
Who I barely know
And I found myself whoa!

We made of the cosmos
You, me, everybody in between
Go ahead now feel your soul.


[Verse Two]

I think about the metal on that fence
How it was mined from the earth’s crest.
You know the core of the earth is hot, oh yes.
It pump magma like your heart pump blood through your chest, uh huh.
I sure hope no volcano bullet wounds rip holes through my vest.
I sure hope no volcano bullet wounds rip holes through my vest.
Cuz then my jackets would bloom bullet wounds made of bloody lent.
Cuz then my jackets would bloom bullet wounds made of bloody lent.

There’s a river in my mind and a well on my tongue, uh huh.
You know you flow through my body on my mind you got me sprung, uh huh

No matter the space or time our nerves will touch, uh huh.
Through the body or the mind we shatter time with our love, uh huh.

[Bridge]

We reflect these reflections when we connect
Even disconnected people, we represent when we say In Lak ‘Ech

We reflect these reflections when we connect
Even disconnected people, we represent when we say In Lak ‘Ech


[Hook]

I’m Floatin in the cosmos
In the living room of somebody house
Who I barely know
And I found myself whoa!

We made of the cosmos
You, me, everybody in between
Go ahead now feel your soul.


[Verse Three]

Can you think of a time when you were mad, yeah?
Can you think of a time when you were sad, yeah?
Like you could bio degrade like lent inside a grave man.
Like you could blow up like a grenade was in your hand.

Shrapnel expand like a super nova.
Our lives are streaks of light I’m sitting on this sofa.

Thinkin’ bout how meteors crash into boulders
and that’s where all the loads a gold come from.

MAN ONE: Ay Man Nice Space Rock
MAN TWO: Thanks dog I got if from a meteor.

I don’t need no bling
I don’t need no car no diamond ring, nuh uh.

There’s parts of stars inside of me that you just can’t see.
They exist in you. I’m their reflection close your eyes and believe.
It ain’t my fault you to awe-struck by material things.
I dig my mind, no need to dig up gold, cuz my shines beneath.
And it don’t got shit to do with no Hollywood T.V. screen.

My soul is immaterial.
My spirit is celestial.
You can carbon date my bones cabron
But you can never quantify my soul.
