The Ocean

[Verse 1: Slug] Tap tap tap click the globe against the moon For the next tune we'll let the camera zoom into the bedroom The more she raises her voice, the less I really hear The more she leaves the house, the less I spend on beer All thoughts are clear Chain smoke a box of Reds Got to shed this excess gear before we cross this bridge If we make it to the opposite side of where we stand We can get some land and make a plan Woman and man But your only twenty something are you ready to change? You've accomplished plenty running Are you tired? Are you hungry? Up to no good, but down to try to harder To depart and sever the old ways of gauging the weather And when they ask if you treat me right I have to lie and yes if I'm to answer the question Here I dance again in front of the mirror, solitaire Wondering where you are, what's the time, why am I losing all my hair? If I could cook half as good as you looked I'd trade in my head phones and my notebook For all the time you took up to shine Shook up my alignment, hooked up to silence Cause these footsteps is my steps [Verse 2 : Slug] Ok enter mommy's little sociopath Hoping I have the sober cells left To taste the smoke on her breathe Chosen my steps Prepare to pour an ear fill Trying to drive her soul Keep your hands on the steering wheel! One at nine the other at three Won't ever find another like she I call it thief because she took it Put the key in the hole and started upsetting cruise control BAM! Hit a tree, my fault I wasn't looking Distracted, but ain't no body acting surprised Mapping out a plan to put me back in her eyes She laid her hand on my thigh Damn near went blind And spread my wings to fly and clear my mind And usually I'm at top of the game At least I used to be This is new to me I can't explain what you do to me Moving me, seducing me, inducing me, reducing me down To figuring or not how I can go about improving me Soon we'll see This whole world will see this Superhero features But girl is the weakness Speaking to the mirror trying to gather my reflection Sold my sense of direction for some affection Now I'm straining, striving, trying to see the ocean I'm riding, driving, I'm trying to make it to the ocean Lifting up every shell and holding it up to my ear I'm trying to hear the ocean, I got to feel the ocean (2x) [Verse 3: Slug] Deep within I swim a river of lust Beginners luck Rising tide injures the crust Hunger, feed my need to free my seed I cry, I bleed, I fly, I flee I try an be everything to each partner I find But the bottom line is rain always starts in the mind I climb inside the rhyme And riddle the growth of the stone And sip and swallow her aura Hit it closer to home It's a quarter 'til two I'm still waitin' anxious Got to surface, the tools, the motivation to paint this Don't know which colors to use, detail is not my game So now I’m through differentiating heaven and pain I'm just another stray cat trying to rest my tail Prepared to go to war but scared to check the mail She's a bird with crippled wings Intrigued by the simple things (you’re too simple, you're too simple) You can take the bone out the chicken But you can't take my girl out to lunch without me thinking Probably something’s up If you can’t take it with you then fuck it I ain’t going I’ll just sit here for now and dream about the ocean Caracoling through this contagious carnival of carnage Wearing a name tag that says artist Holding the harness, controlling the motive Floating the waves Looking for that ocean Now I'm straining, striving, trying to see the ocean I'm riding, driving, I'm trying to make it to the ocean Lifting up every shell and holding it up to my ear I'm trying to hear the ocean, I got to feel the ocean (2x)
