Phantoms

(album: A Galaxy With Skin - 2015)

It's been a minute since I've stepped up
Battle with my atoms that began to uncle fester
Beside myself when I see my reflection
We're all 7 minutes from heaven

7 deadly sins just to get my bread leavened
MJ tippy toes I ain't get stepped on
Little sis see my life as direction
Blood thicker than the body I reflect on

Go go gadget chest up
Now I'm feelin festive
I ain't taking no shots
Boy I got my vest on
I ain't taking no shots
Got my Sunday best on
Best believe I'm rested up
No more getting slept on
No more getting stepped on

I went from Pam An to Pan Am
Vespa to Cessna
And randumb to randamn
Studying with braintrust
Kicked back like van damme
Tell Uncle Sam to keep my ransom

Breeze in my hair man I'm all good
Found reason again man I'm all good
I danced with my demons
And stepped on their toes
Kicked the bad habits
Adidas, adios

Breeze in my hair man I'm all good
Found reason again man I'm all good
I faced all my phantoms at the opera
You know the world got ya

I value every interaction
"I promise I'll remember" that's my motto
So don't believe me when I'm shy
Cause I'm good with names like Petey Pablo

"Hey Triiiiina!"

And all that hateful talk sound like Chewbacca
I ain't star studded but I'm honest
I'm 21 you better card me
Cause I head-butt 'em like Zenedine Zidane

Well I wake up and watch my espresso settle
Realize I must express myself better I know
I know that I know

Cause 1 on the mound worth 1, 000 in the bullpen
One of your hands is worth 2 in the bushes
Up creek, no anchor but 1 in the chamber
You better spare the messenger and shoot the breeze

Breeze in my hair man I'm all good
Found reason again man I'm all good
I danced with my demons
And stepped on their toes
Kicked the bad habits
Adidas, adios

Breeze in my hair man I'm all good
Found reason again man I'm all good
I faced all my phantoms at the opera
You know the world got ya
