The Best Feeling in FL

Rainfall & wet weather
salt water in my hair & beach sand under my toenails
i'm driving home in my wife beater again
i notice you (so close to me)
counting the little tiny shells spread across my skin
spread like constellations
Rainfall & wet weather

Step 1: shit in the woods
Step 2: throw ur smartphone to the wolves
step 3: learn to unlearn everything,
b a gr8 big ear, hear what the earth has to hear
Then give your mind to the sky
and then learn that you've already died
and then you'll never have to cry, you've lived this all many lifetimes
Now can you drive into the dark
Now then can you open up ur heart
Now then can you bathe in the rain,
can u leave this noxious plain?
can u leave ur body 2day?

Watch Deliverance
then take a trip to north Georgia
meet a local and you can feel ur sphincter tighten
with anxiety cuz they aren't what they should be
they're normal people with a love for God's country
Take a ride w/ me I'll keep my opinions in my glovebox
and we can listen to some 2000s slow song
abt feeling young and feeling dumb and having migraines
and drinking beer, I still got it on my myspace
Wait, I've got more important things to say
Wait
Close ur eyes, see nothing but urself
Close ur ears, hear nobody else
Then close ur mind and tell me th@ u love me,
close ur nose and tell me th@ I'm stinky
close ur mouth and do ur best to kiss me
Take a ride w/ me I'll keep my opinions in my glovebox
and let the wind tear through that 2000s slow song
and hear god the way he likes to howl
hear god as he turns into gravel

I wanna make my best friends proud
I’m singing these songs to a fucked up crowd
I wanna be nothing big,
I wanna be just like a little kid
Lost by the wind
Do you wanna be part of me
Ooooh ooh ooh ooh
I keep dreaming of the mountain range
When you and I were on our little date
Trying to find a place to stay,
Find a place to run away
And be shadows
Beneath the moon
And be shadows
Be the moon
Ooooh ooh ooh ooh
I got lost In summer land
I met god beneath the sand
He gave me the ocean and the sky
He said they’re the same if you just close your eyes
Ooooh ooh ooh ooh

Asleep In A Creek
03:23
|
|||
|
The n(aight) has left me alone
bumpin' shoulders w/ the walls
of an ice cold creek
this land is what home means to me
when i close my eyes its what i see
beneath July skies
a family by the fire,
a sun and a daughter
a cabin on the water
everything that God had
just lied in our lap

Haley told me that i am nature
i am the wind in the trees
i am everything
i am the leaves i am bark
my roots are spreading deep and dark
the light post gleams in the water
tears are clinging to its bulb
we hold hands on this tightrope
i hope that we aren't alone
the oaks around us hold more water
drowning ~

wash ur hair in the sink
notice less flesh on ur cheeks
smell cigarettes on ur breath
mom says u look like death
pick the rocks out from ur mouth
so the demons can crawl out
I can cut my hair in the sink
I shave, cut my face and i bleed
notice gravel on my shoulder
look @ me i look much older
i used to pick the rocks out from my teeth
and i would guilt you into loving me

Crystals & Polar Pops
04:02
|

|
I’m sportin' crystals
Inside my back pocket
I’ve got emeralds and rose quartz
And Smokey quartz and amethyst
And selenite and blue celestite
And about ten more
I was gonna cleanse them tonight
Is that alright
Was the question that I asked the sky
And the moon said
Go fuck yourself
Can you watch the car
While I go get some poplar pops
I aint gonna fill em up
I just want the cup
I’m gonna fill that bitch with wine
And take a walk around lake Helen
And I’m gonna make friends with a ghost
And we will count our toes
I’ll probably put him to rest,
Cuz that’s what I do best
I’m not cut out for
The world that I was made for
I feel clumsy inside this big ol' body
I’m not somebody
I don’t wanna be nobody no more
We are almost everything
We are rain water on the leaves
We aren’t the hair in the sink
We are discomfort in the sheets
We aren’t the teeth in the shark
We are the friends in the dark
We are the shells on your skin
We aren’t the beginning, but the end
We are the big best friend

If I Won the Lottery

If I won the lottery
I'd have a mustang 66' GT
parked beneath a pine tree
my baby girl would have the fattest diamond ring in the south east
she'd never leave
I'd buy back my grandfather's cabin
it's the perfect place to isolate
urself
I'd buy the most expensive revolver and I'd keep it @ my side
and I'd hunt tonight
If I won the lottery
I'd take the money down to the sea
and watch it leave,
it wouldn't change anything

i let a piece so close away
a piece so prime and paramount
i swore it had to stay
but then it left
divided me in half
and now I've got my feet
now i hear the wind blow
the bear bellows
beneath the peach moon
there is only me & you
but then what do you know
the river flows
the trout swim home
and then they go missing
beneath the peach moon
there is only me & you

Me Look @ Me

I fell down
Who knows if I’ll ever get back up
I was picked up down the way
By a big ol Mac truck
And the driver said to me
that I’m not some kind of special flower
I was just a bit too-young to lose my
Special powers
He said that everyone
Beneath this killing sun
Falls out of love
so i guess I aint lucky
But I’ve got god’s country I’ve got
A nutter butter
I’ve got a pack of smokes I’ve got a
Full tank of gas
And I’ve got a sweet heart
Riding passenger
And her smile shines so bright
That sometimes it even hurts
I’ve got a bottle of unopened wine
I’ve got a silly job
That makes me money from time to time
I’ve got a sad heart but the bitch beats
Just fine, I’ve got a lot of time
And I plan to make it mine
I spent 40 bucks tonight
On a can of bear spray
Cuz I’m planning on camping
Till next Saturday
And I’m gonna find
Some nowhere place
And pitch a tent no one knows my face
And I’ll find a new eden
In ur eyes
And I will learn that

it goes on as long as i know
and it has arms unfolding below
and it has teeth beneath the overgrowth
this is what you are,
nothing but it all
and fuck you over once and fuck you over twice
but it can make a bad day nice
this is what you are,
nothing but it all
