Flowers

(album: Beware Of Shapeshifters - 2016)

[Aries:]
I've never been immune to the rainstorm
Sunny California, all I see is the rain pour
Life went the downhill, but I can't drown pills
Always been the one to use my brain more
The soil sink, I been digging from underground
Keeping my faith, while I continue to mutter sounds
Lost count of rounds but I'm up till the finish
Said I'm bringing you along till I diminish
Always studied hard tried to make your mom proud
Didn't talk about your dad we just assumed that he walked out
From a whole nother place, you more than a new student
Spoke soft and talked less than us humans
Funny I can say that now, without a doubt
You affected all of us from the inside out
You were there when Mello came into play
To this day I been learning how to get it my way, now let's pray

[Lauren Buckler:]
And the world, is filled with nonsense
Build you up, to take you down the same way
I don't see, that many options
But I'm moving on, moving on for today

[Aries:]
Cook raw, grilling up success, I been hungry
Climbing up this mountain till nobody stand above me
Never had a taste always busy with your tests
So when I get some you can take a piece from me
Struggle tryna keep a clean conscious
But time took off and it went along with my options
Every second strikes the nerves
Have I wasted every minute while I write these?
My psyches a mess, groove with this anxiousness
He said paint with this
Found out what it's like at the top and at the bottom
Life is full of tests but I can't answer all the problems
Even if I walk outta line
Imma take the will of my audience and come back with a track
That emancipates your closed minds, push it cause he told me to
Step to hells gate not afraid cause he'll pull me through

[Lauren Buckler:]
And the world, is filled with nonsense
Build you up, to take you down the same way
I don't see, that many options
But I'm moving on, moving on for today

[Aries:]
Thinking of the good times when
We would hit the market deli every now and then
Started in the 7th grade, when I was Twizz
And I only smoked weed and drank Arizona lemonade
In the class and we'd beef for bout an hour
Scribbling a face up inside of a little flower
He was weird fella, and everybody'd see him
Orange hair back then and barbecue Korean
Type of guy to get up outta his seat
And make a face when the teacher said we could not speak
It's crazy how fast that flew by just two guys
Now one's gone from one's life, how could you die
On us, I don't have the answers
All I know is that I lost one of my best friends to cancer
It's hard to think that life goes on
When it just kicked down the walls that I've built so strong

[Lauren Buckler:]
And the world, is filled with nonsense
Build you up, to take you down the same way
I don't see, that many options
But I'm moving on, moving on for today

And the world, is filled with nonsense
Build you up, to take you down the same way
I don't see, that many options
But I'm moving on, moving on for today
