[00:36.77]On a highway no bulletins no street signs no other cars no radio no satellite
[00:40.74]I still make it back home
[00:42.03]Connected to the universe like a string of lights on the holiday
[00:44.56]If one's out doesn't mean the demise of all who roam the stone

[01:24.17]She's the pillar so she cant be tilted
[01:26.92]Give her sons the feeling as though they got a million to blow
[01:29.81]Need no stilts to reach the stars
[01:31.85]Teach the kids to reach with their heads and they each will be yours
[01:34.58]I give a piece of me for her to have a piece of mind

[02:40.79]Servin' rocks balling while they conquering and dividing
[02:43.39]Teeth glistening shining listening to ourselves lying
[02:46.27]Believe in a bleedin' ego still trying
[02:48.81]Identifying with the why and the whats
[02:51.11]Self hatin is the scars and the cuts that
[02:53.86]Run deep down not giving a f*ck behind the sweet sound of the new blues
[02:56.76]Rattling the truck full of sun roof to new shoes

[03:25.49]And reflect on my karma and laws i've ignored
[03:28.18]All the signs that could cause a turn and redirect my preferred
[03:30.74]Course of action before the curse of my ashes
[03:33.30]The rehabilitation of the baddest on the planet
[03:35.90]Will set a mark a milestone of progress
[03:38.09]The life changing tones of my heart and soul mean the most
[03:41.41]Learning voices be the search and exhume all the skeletons
[03:43.85]A room full of demons with an angel as a prisoner
[03:46.53]She's tortured for the visitors the listeners who read between the lines
[03:49.33]And stay inquisitive to dissect these sentences

[04:18.12]In fact it felt that picture of a beach with footprints in the sand
[04:20.79]You know the poem hanging in grandmamas home
[04:23.45]Where does love come from where does it go when its gone
[04:25.98]What takes its place and why does that space turn hard as stone
[04:28.63]Another year i am older today in many ways i've grown
[04:31.57]But in my head them questions still they roam
[04:33.91]Riding a bike she said its like cycling in circles
[04:36.45]With your eyes closed no hands blind faith is what she called it man
[04:39.58]Said life's an ocean with a lot of commotion
