White Flower

White Flower

Born alone, I've got an ear for the notes,

but I keep it clear, so I know which direction to go

when I grow old.

What - I guess I'm just an old soul.

Lost on a road, trying to find my way home.

See it's the times, that I read the signs

telling me i'll be fine

that I cry.

I wish I could tell the other guys

and maybe save a life.

But man, it just ain't right.

Can't give away the secret to life,

unless they see inside.

It's in the mind, that takes the time to be,

a flower in the concrete.

See the secrets in the trees,

I hear them speak.

I let the breeze blow me away.

Cuz I'm taking trips to a safer place,

somewhere it doesn't rain.

When I paint I use the colors others disregard.

So many things I want to say, man

but where to start?

Yeah it's hard, but it's the struggle that we're meant to face.

Just because you're late, doesn't mean you'll never get to change.

I escape, into ivory keys.

Play sonatas in between her knees;

been playin' since I was 3.

What do you think that means?

Gettin' you to scream is pretty easy

with fingers like these.

She's saying "PLEASE" but it's my time to leave

her place tonight,

I tell her twice,

she wants to fight.

Thank God for moonlight.

I need the bright vibes.

They help me stay alive.

And when it's gettin' tight,

they open up my mind.

I keep to myself, but it's hard for me to keep a secret.

Do you believe it?

It's up for you to see it!

If you speak it, then you feel it.

You deal it around.

It's like a flower in the ground,

it's energetically loud

- look.

What I've found is a drug

and when I blow it out, it's in clouds.

It isn't bud,

it's love,

and you can't have enough.

Oh, you want a blunt?

Here man, take a puff.

But when you're feelin' rough

you're gonna need the stronger stuff.

You want a rush? I've got the perfect thing for you.

Live your life as if you've got something to prove,

and when you lose?

That's when you'll say you're abused,

but you pay your dues, here's a clue,

you get to choose whether you win or lose,

it's up to you.

These blue skies got me thinkin' about the other side,

I wonder

what it's like,

and this is why I like to write.

All the other guys I find just want a couple bills,

to buy a couple pills

Hah - just got a double kill.

It's like you're scared man.

Life isn't fair, and

you've got a plan -

stay as far away as you can.

How's life in the sand?

You're slowin' down, you need a hand?

I've got a plan, but you're gonna need to trust me, man.

We ain't about to crash, we're landing in the safest place.

Within' a couple days you'll think you heard amazing grace.

It isn't fake, all it takes is just a little faith.

It's like I'm blazin' through the days,

but I'm about to fly away.
