it started with a weak mind
the memories serve their purpose
and time it showed the liberty
the weight of restitution
it started as a big mess
the pain it held my weight down
on someone i would never wish
you didn't deserve this
i messed up a million times
but you brought me out to spacious places
where my mind was
taught to reject this
now you see me in my prime
like a newborn babe that's
dressed in the hope of
his future achievements
there's something better in you
it's time for it to come out
there's something better in you
it's time for it come out
there's something better in you
it's time for it to sound out
there's something better in you
it's time for it to sound out
i looked at you a million times
are you really for me
i didn't do my homework
i hid behind the trees
am i really a man
according to the papers
i don't know what tools are
but that won't change my focus
do you really see me
from a bird's eye perspective
is it time i figured out
you're the one that helped me
i benefited
i really want to look at you
you remind me of purity
i really want to push through
what seems like hell to me
with the pain in your head
there's something better instead
something brand-new
thought pollution
hurt me then
and hurt again
the thought pollution
hurt me then
and again
there's something better in you
it's time for it come out
there's something better in you
it's time for it to come out
there's something better in you
it's time for it to sound out
there's something better in you
it's time for it come out
it started with a weak mind
the memories serve their purpose
and time it proved the liberty
the weight of restitution

Welcome Back

all that i’ve wanted
was a heart of abundance
to do the things i used to
remember how i knew you
i’m scared to show you
all of my antics
i’ll speak in code
if that’s the advantage
if all i’ve promised is just what you asked for
i never thought
i would be a disaster
it’s time to see it
the way that it was taught
i never thought
never even got it
it’s time to see it
the way that it was taught
you’ve always named me
never even shamed me
all that i’ve wanted
was a heart of abundance
to do the things i used to
remember how i knew you
all that i’ve wanted
was a heartfelt reminder
i was drenched in the latter rain
to be with you forever
all that i’ve wanted
was to sell my things and run away
but wisdom comes up with
a new place to stay
all that i’ve needed
was dying to these brain trees
they hurt me for so long
they hurt me for so long
i do, i do, i do, i do
i miss you i didn’t know
i never smelled your hair yet
you see me over there again
i’d say, i’d say, i’d say
that all this time i lost it
that all these friends it cost me
but i will be the best me
you say, you say, you say, you say
that all this is eternal
that i’m mostly so paternal
yeah i'm mostly so paternal
you say, you say, you say, you say
that always i am worth it
but my choices don’t deserve this
no my choices don’t deserve this

Daughters

you were honest
you were kindness
you could meet me
in the midst of
my own garbage
my own seething
old hatred
misdemeanors
watch you change me
watch you move it
i just needed
redirecting
i just needed
less effect on
those headaches
those memories
you’ve got issues
you've got sadness
but i’ll trade it
for the gladness
any day now
please consider
the sweetness of your daughter
do you love her
is she perfect
something you could
stop and nurture
i’ll never look back anymore
when i look up to you i look forward
when i look up to you i look forward

i started making money when
i started fearing death again
i started chasing something
in my own life again
i started making money
i was afraid of death
i started chasing somebody
in my own life again
but the fear didn’t hold me down
no the fear didn’t ground me well
i started chasing something again
we were boasting in words
it was all
how i knew
what to do
i was young
you were too
at the sound of your voice
i knew i never had a choice (but to face my pain)

why would i hide
hide my face from you
knowing you has been
such a pleasure
break these chains from me
