Atmosphere - The Ocean lyrics

rate me

Tap tap tap click the globe against the moon

For the next tune we'll let the camera zoom into the bedroom

The more she raises her voice, the less I really hear

The more she leaves the house, the less I spend on beer

All thoughts are clear,

Chain smoke a box of reds

Got to shed this excess gear before we cross this bridge

If we make it to the opposite side of where we stand

We can get some land and make a plan

Woman and man

But you're only twenty something are you ready to change?

You've accomplished plenty running

Are you tired? Are you hungry?

Up to no good, but down to try to harder

To depart and sever the old ways of gauging the weather

And when they ask if you treat me right

I have to lie and yes if I’m to answer the question

Here I dance again in front of the mirror, solitaire

Wondering where you are, what's the time, why am I losing all my hair?

If I could cook half as good as you look

I'd trade my head phones and my notebook

For all the time you took up to shine

Shook up my alignment, hook up the silence

Cause these footsteps is mine

Just get out, and don't come back again

Ok enter mommy's little sociopath

Hoping I have the sober cells left

To taste the smoke on her breathe

Chosen my steps

Prepare to pour a ear fill

Trying to drive her soul

Keep your hands on the steering wheel

One at nine the other at three

won’t ever find another like she

I call her thief because she took it

Put the key in the hole and started up, set the cruise control

BAM! Hit a tree, my fault I wasn't looking

Distracted, but ain't nobody acting surprised

Mapping out a plan to put me back in her eyes

She laid her hand on my thigh

Damn near went blind

And spread my wings to fly and clear my mind,

Now usually I’m at top of the game

Or at least I used to be

This is new to me

I can't explain what you do to me,

Moving me, seducing me, inducing me, reducing me down

To figure it out how I can go about improving me,

Soon we'll see

This whole world will see this

Superhero features

But girl is the weakness

Speaking at the mirror trying to gather my reflection,

Sold my sense of direction for some affection

Now I’m straining, striving, trying to see the ocean

I'm riding, I’m driving, I'm trying to make it to the ocean

Lifting up every shell and holding it up to my ear

I'm tryin to hear the ocean, I wanna to feel the ocean

I’m straining, striving, trying to see the ocean

I’m riding, I’m driving, I’m trying to make it to the ocean

Lifting up every shell and holding it up to my ear

Im tryin to hear the ocean, I gotta feel the ocean

Deep within I swim a river of lust,

Beginners luck

Rising tide injures the crust

Hunger, feed my need to free my seed

I cry, I bleed, I fly, I flee

I try an be everything to each one I find

But the bottom line is rain always starts in the mind

So I climb inside the rhyme

And riddle the growth of the stone

And sip and swallow her aura

Hit it closer to home

It's a quarter 'til two,

I still waitin anxious

Got the surface, the tools, the motivation to paint this,

Don't know which colors to use, detail is not my game

So now I’m through with differentiating heaven and pain

I'm just another straight cat trying to rest my tail

Prepared to go to war but scared to check the mail

She's a bird with crippled wings

Intrigued by the simple things (it's too simple, you're too simple)

You can take the bone out the chicken

But you can't take my girl out to lunch without me thinking

Probably something’s up

And if you can’t take it with you, fuck it I ain’t going

I’ll just sit here for now and dream about the ocean

Carousellic views, contagious carnival of carnage

wearing a name tag that says artist

holding the harness

Controlling the motive

Floating the waves

Looking for that ocean

Now I’m straining, striving, trying to see the ocean

I'm riding, I’m driving, I'm trying to make it to the ocean

Lifting up every shell and holding it up to my ear

I'm tryin to hear the ocean, I wanna to feel the ocean

I’m straining, striving, trying to see the ocean

I’m riding, I’m driving, I’m trying to make it to the ocean

Lifting up every shell and holding it up to my ear

Im tryin to hear the ocean, I gotta feel the ocean

Just get out, and don't come back again
