Sanity

(album: Nebulous - 2019)

[Chester Watson:]
So can I please keep my sanity
I see memories as I peep through the canopy with trees dismantling
And smoke in the whip like a ghost got a hand on me
I'm focused
But I can I please keep my sanity
I see memories as I peep through the canopy with trees dismantling
And smoke in the whip like a ghost got a hand on me
I'm focused

I think my sinuses were flared
I guess it's as if Ma [?] and Simon weren't there
We make the art that could give a leviathan some air
If it listened at times I grab life just by the hair
And forgiveness isn't a given you don't like it I don't care just to keep it a bit simplistic
I made it a habit to burn the bridges that I didn't cross
Bask in the wreckage when I go on walks
I forget my task for a second just to talk to myself
Sit back in reflection just to pause for a breath 'cause sometimes you really need it
I know you don't think that you can call me for help
But sometimes you really need it and I see it
But when we do can we please keep the sanity
Last time we lost it in the drugs and the fantasy
My past life's probably full of stuff that was damaging
It may have carried over to my trust and companions
But I'm more or less managing the piece of my sanity

I see memories as I peep through the canopy with trees dismantling
And smoke in the whip like a ghost got a hand on me
I'm focused
On this piece of my sanity
I see memories as I peep through the canopy with trees dismantling
And smoke in the whip like a ghost got a hand on me
I'm focused

Really floating over hardwood floors these days
A little closer to the stars than the floors these days
Mind leaping like the frogs in the Porsche speedway
So I'm vibing near 140 M-P-H
And a, and a white knight, 17K
917k what I need in a bank
Make a hit screenplay
Before I leave in this state that we call earth
The bird space
In reality hope it all works
In the first place
But I gotta get dat cake
Fuck dat bitch
Cop dat chain
Hit dat lick
Smoke dat blunt
Pop dat pill
See this place?
Drop that shit
Leave my friends
Make it rain
Come back when shit dint change
Wish that I didn't but face that I did the same
For the better the weather was rather nice today
I thought about the beach but the music kept me inside today
A couple hours passed and I used it to get my mind astray

And can I please keep my sanity
I see memories as I peep through the canopy with trees dismantling
And smoke in the whip like a ghost got a hand on me

[Blu:]
I'm focused
Yea
Can I please keep my sanity too while I'm channeling the truth
Why can't it be
Oh so simple
For my family to view
Like a funeral or pageant thing
I'm passed my timbs why can't it be a valentina you
Can I please keep channeling
While chandeliers keep doing their fanning thing
Like Dakota Fanning in a Totoro Masterpiece
I don't fit the master key
It's locking up my happiness
I haven't seen my queen of dreams in you
A Kaleidoscope of trust
Micro managing my weight
Ice cold camping in the cold night
Cameras keeping up with the speed of life
At the crack of dusk
Dawning on my mind that I'm fucked, uh
But can I please keep my sanity and love for my family
Even though I haven't seen my daughter since I passed my dreams to you
Think it through and we might keep our sanity intact
While I'm hammering a pack of cold brew
Can I please keep the candle lit
And dreams of apocalypse
Fall from my daughters mind
All I find is grooves
Not the broadways and narrow patches
Hallways where chairs [?]
Saw the gates of heaven close
There's hell down below
The hell down my soul
And jail-bound my flow
The shells bounce off of my glow
I gotta know
Can I please keep my sanity with me when I go
