Atmosphere - The Ocean lyrics

rate me

Caravanning through this contagious carnival of carnage

wearing a name tag that says artist

holding the harness

trying to control the focus

floating the waves of her ocean

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 smoker 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

And 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 looked

I'd trade in my head phones and my notebook

For all the time you took up to shine

Shook up the alignment, hooked up to silence

Cause these footsteps is my steps

Girl if you knew what was good for you, you’d leave

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 upsetting 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

At least I used to be

This is new to me

I can't explain what you do to me,

Moving me, soothing me, seducing me, reducing me down

To figure or not how I can go about improving me,

Soon we'll see

This whole world will see it

Superhero features

But woman is his weakness

Speaking at the mirror trying to hear my reflection,

Gave up my sense of direction for some affection

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

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

Picking up every shell and holding it up to my ear

I'm want to hear the ocean, I got to see the ocean

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

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

Picking up every shell and holding it up to my ear

I want to hear the ocean, I got to 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 the wind for each one I find

Rain always starts in the mind, the bottom line

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 eight,

I still wait anxious

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

I lost the rules, reinventing the game

So now I’m through 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 (you’re 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

If you can’t take it with you then fuck it I ain’t going

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

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

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

Picking up every shell and holding it up to my ear

I'm want to hear the ocean, I got to see the ocean

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

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

Picking up every shell and holding it up to my ear

I want to hear the ocean, I got to feel the ocean

Caracoling through this contagious carnival of carnage

wearing a name tag that says artist

holding the harness

trying to control the focus

Gliding the waves of her ocean

Swimming the waves of her ocean
