The Sad Summer, Pt. 2: A Wondrous Story

Okay, ego is vital like tie breaking free throws
In the land of the eagle
Somehow John Legend thinks we're ordinary people
I would beg to differ, but I suffer from the pride
If you listen close, you can see where I reside
Somewhere near where wavy synths tend to vibe
Somewhere I can be myself with my tribe

Playin' rocket league to pass time
Most times I stray from the rudiments
Substitute trips to brick and motors
To collect my quarters, borderline adornment for my own disorder
It's so convenient to have my addictions
Feeds my everlasting need to live things different
Used to make raps about cartoons and spaceships
Now I make raps when I feel faceless

Truncate like old tapes, so haters think I'm tasteless
But that's how I make an audible representation
Of how I feel vacant but lately, bruh, I've lifting weights and stuff
Pretty liberating, feel like I could go on dates and stuff
Take her to the movies if the movies weren't 80 bucks
Cheap stake, take her to the rink for a free skate
Playin' Alice deejay when we roll up, hope I don't die in Denton
Probably die of boredom first driving down alone with my eyes close
Captain of the SS should've died on a high note

It's at the tip of the tongue
Reach behind my teeth and lips
Can't reject your social functions
Luncheons with the unctuous
In high strong environments
'Cause I'm too scared to fall
But nobody knows it all, but everybody knows
Everybody knows we're made for this shit

Went to Japan feeling worthless
Excited on the surface
Told everybody I had plans and all
But I was tryna find purpose

It was a strange vacation
The things I hated made me feel amazing
I learned a lot, but what stuck the most
Was don't fetishize a nation

I learned a lot 'bout how we think
And how we share common dreams
And how we both struggle with love, and ego, and people and apologies

I'm breaking bread with anomalies
The fine line from fear to following
Time after time is enlightening
Fuck a sad summer, lookin' for the brighter spring

It's at the tip of the tongue
Reach behind my teeth and lips
Can't reject your social functions
Luncheons with the unctuous
In high strong environments
'Cause I'm too scared to fall
But nobody knows it all, but everybody knows
Everybody knows we're made for this shit
