stoned on santa cruz weed i melted into the door of the car riding shotgun down the PCH, and wrote this music the next day while staring up at the straw-colored hills of marin county, ca
lyrics
If I faked another mountain
I'll crumble down into the sea
and if I lay down all the pictures
of fiery bloom, would i see me?
and if i wait, with head down low
like the big man, wants me to
will the Earth roll on back, like I was told
into my lap, like I was told
i'd fill my bag, like i was told
i'd keep a map, like i was told
to lead me back, like i was told
Be the fool who makes it right
a couple times, then say goodbye
take a face, you haven't played
a couple times, then say goodbye
take a break, with head down low
till an electric pull says go
when the Earth rolls on back
like you were told
you paint the rope that holds your neck
and i'll paint mine gold, like I was told
and i'll flex my scars, like I was told
i'll follow Mars, like I was told
playing games, like I was told
starting flames, like I was told
If I woke up every morning,
to different walls, would I feel free?
Every night, crossing borders
till all you're eyes have seen through me
