dem first born problems
crash test no rest test case
with stress fracture on chest
and soft heart bruised
so tender so please
ease up on me
let me leave
estranged from baby
boy knew lonely
all now, tell why
no longer cosy
at home in himself
forget everything and recall
days before fear
before anxious freefall
clipped ear whipped rear
and corners
faced in silence
now boy an island
maze from mouth to heart
send help
‘fore the lighthouse lamp turn dark
flicker of filament
decode what it tellin me
this pain of pedigree
a litter of sons
now why are you so easily undone?
chant I am I am but don’t become
did I ever tell you I believe in you?
right on time
right on time
squinting at the shine
man barely saw the jewel
oh you a sign get in line bruh
you know the rules
daren't use til I learn if
you a weapon or a tool
stay sus til I sus it out
trust wear a glove of doubt
why these years growing so unsure?
throat sore and the healer
a most bitter cure
this taste like a suttin
of familial lore
blood been here before
where is wisdom?
how I look both ways then fail?
on my knees with a plea let dirt be the grail
come we turn rock bottom to prevail
add water to it
fire up a brick
start in the middle
build a couple layers thick
door at the base
and a window at the tip
chuck a lamp in it
flicker of filament
decode what it tellin me
this pain of pedigree
a litter of sons
now why are you so easily undone?
chant I am I am but don’t become
did I ever tell you I believe in you?
nature boy, service man
crossing lands
followed maps drawn by hand
by and by watch him fly watch him fly
soft face hmm shy and sad of eye
my guy
look at you all looking like you
who knew
this is what that true talk do
look at you
always knew the boy would pull through
how you do dat
came back glowin and grew
is that you yeh?
ok, spin around show
that you already know
with a therapy flow
how it feel how it feel
now you know that it's real
got the lesson for the spill
didn’t kill didn’t kill ya...

In the stars
We wait so long
We wait so long
In the stars
We wait so long
We wait so long
Bring it home
Secrets im gone
Do you hate me
For my own devices
Bring it home
Secrets unknown
Do you hate me
For those that preach
In the stars
We wait so long
We wait so long
In the stars
We wait so long
We wait so long

You
Looking in your eyes
I just want to get to know you and share my life
I just want to get to know you again
and share my life with you
Cause this is all I ever wanted
Cause this is all I ever need

How many calls you gonna leave on my phone,
Let the water fall
Soothe my soul when I’m all alone
You took my heart away
You took my love for granted
And you were all I ever wanted
I've lost my way
You’re all I ever needed
I can’t find my way
I took your love for granted
And I was all you ever wanted
I’ve lost my way
You were all I ever needed
You took my heart away
I’ve lost my way
You took my heart away
You took my love
I took your love for granted
And I was, you were all I ever wanted
I’ve lost my way
Don't you know you were all I ever needed
I can’t find my way
I took your love, you took my love for granted
I was all you ever you were all I ever wanted
I’ve lost my way
You’re all I ever needed

I miss you
I miss your eyes how they twinkle
I didn’t wanna say it
‘cause I’m supposed to be over you now
and someone’s supposed to be riding me out
but I miss you
you cannot even fathom what I been through
faking these smiles haven’t got me anywhere
just being hostile in my therapist’s chair
oh yeah, oh yeah
I really miss you
Just tryna get along without you here
I simply miss you
Just tryna own it now & make it clear
I miss us
I miss the days there was no fuss
We were only playing
Now the love is a chore
We don’t care for
All the love that I poured
Stains the floor
But I miss us
Therapy’s where I discuss
All the ways I failed
Walking the wrong trail
Following my mother,
I told Abigail
I won’t even bother, again
I really miss you
Just tryna get along without you here
I simply miss you
Just tryna own it now & make it clear
Is it clear,
Just tryna own it
My therapy said just be honest,
Just be honest
Can we just be honest now? (x4)

what your eyes see is not all of me
niggas think they can sample me
never will you replicate me
the least you can do is repay me
what’s inside of me will never leave
i’ve got true love all above me
call out the names of my loves deceased
watch me bless up exponentially

Nayiem - Dandelions

I see him bleeding on the canvas
I see the crowd of fans screaming for Barabbas
I couldn’t watch, I woke up screaming it’s the passion
I couldn’t watch, my blood was leaking through the mattress
I’m too old, I’m too old to be embarrassed
I’m too remote, I’m too remote to get your message
I left the city life for pine trees and cleaner air
And a cabin in the mountains with a steep descent
A couple years the palm wine had me seeing clear
In the dead of night, seeking something I could really feel
Pouring drink on the ground until there’s nothing left
An empty street, one man, two clouds of breath
I fight not flesh and blood
I nearly lost my mind trying to wrestle God
Somewhere in south, head on fire like it’s pentecost
Blood of Jesus tastes like Ribena on my western tongue
Nayiem, how’s life
My mind cuts to a feel of dandelions
Scattered madly in the gale force wind
I tell my friends life’s absolutely fine
Hey Nayiem, Hey Nayiem how’s life
My mind cuts to a feel of dandelions
Scattered madly in the gale force wind
I tell my friends life’s absolutely fine
Hey Nayiem, Hey Nayiem how’s life
My mind cuts to a feel of dandelions
Scattered madly in the gale force wind
I tell my friends life’s absolutely fine
Hey Nayiem, Hey Nayiem how’s life
My mind cuts to a feel of dandelions
Scattered madly in the gale force wind
I tell my friends life’s absolutely fine
I see him bleeding on the canvas
I see the crowd of fans screaming for Barabbas
I couldn’t watch, I woke up screaming it’s the passion
I couldn’t watch, my blood was leaking through the mattress
I’m too old, I’m too old to be embarrassed
I’m too remote, I’m too remote to get your message
I left the city life for pine trees and cleaner air
And a cabin in the mountains with a steep descent
A couple years the palm wine had me seeing clear
In the dead of night, seeking something I could really feel
Pouring drink on the ground until there’s nothing left
An empty street, one man, two clouds of breath
I fight not flesh and blood
I nearly lost my mind trying to wrestle God
Somewhere in south, head on fire like it’s pentecost
Blood of Jesus tastes like Ribena on my western tongue
Nayiem, how’s life
My mind cuts to a feel of dandelions
Scattered madly in the gale force wind
I tell my friends life’s absolutely fine
Hey Nayiem, Hey Nayiem how’s life
My mind cuts to a feel of dandelions
Scattered madly in the gale force wind
I tell my friends life’s absolutely fine
Hey Nayiem, Hey Nayiem how’s life
My mind cuts to a feel of dandelions
Scattered madly in the gale force wind
I tell my friends life’s absolutely fine
Hey Nayiem, Hey Nayiem how’s life

It’s been so long that I get light headed every time I hear you say my name,
And I thought by now I’d be over this thing but somehow it still feels the same.
I’m only dreaming.
I’m only dreaming, I’m only dreaming,
Maybe this happens in another life.
I get excited when you’re around,
You know it’s not like me to be this shy.
I’ve spent so much time trying to fight my feelings,
I’m just about to lose my mind.
When you put your hands on me,
You really don’t know it, but you’re fucking with my whole world.
I get so distracted when you look me in the eye and I remember that you’ve got a girl.
I’m only dreaming.
I’m only dreaming, I’m only dreaming,
Maybe this happens in another life.
I know you feel it, I know you feel it, I know you feel it.
Im only dreaming, I’m only dreaming, maybe this happens in another life.

Contour - Common Ground
03:38

In the reddest night
This movement is a spin
I cannot see it end
I know it’s just an oversight
We’re tangled in the vine
Of sound around our lives
And here we find the common ground
Of how long i have gone
To dance up to the dawn
To make the aura solid now
The noise across the sea
The scene that’s drawing me
Why so far away?
There’s an autograph
Material i hold
To prove me to my own
Recollection of that sacred space
If only there inside
We keep it in our sights
That future is so far away
Why so far away?

I used to be so lonely
And lonesome
I used to be seduced
By the fuse box of my emotions
I’d flip like a switch
Each time I was paralysed
By profuse amount of loneliness
It would climb with confusion between the cracks
Of sidewalk-splitting moments
Click.
Click.
I used to get so lonely (lonely)
But now I recognize the liberty
Of being me
I can identify the blueprint of wealth
Without nobody’s help
And yeah, I still get my doubts
But I know I never want to be defined
By anybody else ever again
Only I can define my freedom
I used to unbutton daydreams
In the middle of the night
Aloof to moonlight crossing
The intersection of my eyes,
I’d trace fantasies of who I’d rather be
One Monday morning, sunshine
Broke into my house
And robbed me of my insecurity
I figure it’d be a waste of time filing a police report
‘Cause being a pessimist just ain’t for me
Besides, greatness occurs despite the sceptics
They say, “Nothing lasts forever”
But we’ve got elastics for hearts
And even after bombs explode, time still tick-tick-tocks
(and tick tick tocks, and tick tick tocks, and)
I already have enough scars
To know how clean blades
Keep when they live deep among me,
So yeah, I been cuttin’ up the bullshit
And rebuilding good company
I can identify the blueprint of wealth
Without nobody’s help
And yeah, I still get my doubts
But I know I never want to be
Defined by anybody else ever again
Only I can define my freedom
Only I can define my freedom
Only I can define my freedom
Only I can define my freedom
Only I can define
