I'm traveling the whole world
And I've seemed to miss South Caroline
Wish I could go, but that's nothing but a dream
You're in a sleepy state, but I guess I want to make up for the lost time we made
Then trying to hide the lights and fame beneath the shade of your frame
You'll make me a man, all the same, all the same
You'll have me calling your name South Caroline, South Caroline..
You'll have me at the point of a blame
I might look back into the night, but I'll never be ashamed
You'll make me another man, all the same, all the same
We're all hammered, who's even paying attention to the game?

I can't do nothing for too long, not with your body singing me songs
When every contour of your figure is embossing my wrongs
I've been looking to the stars for advice but your ambient shine pollutes the sky
I want to see the way, but the streets I follow are too **** unaligned
Grab me here, grab me there
Please don't leave me to my thoughts South Caroline
I'm half passed cloud nine

I've been grabbing your hair and your eyes are giving me a stare
Like when you're alone you'd rather be here
Like the city around you doesn't allow you to feel any fear
You're giving me highway signs, I'm on my way to South Caroline

Imagine a place
Suspended in time
Everyday's the same
But we're spending it differently

Let's toy with the stars
Get stuck in infinity with me
Kiss the ground
And live forever

I can feel the mass of your heart
As it pulls me in
I can feel the passing of the cars
As you grasp my arm

Can't see a thing
But I feel your hot breath
And the stars begin to scream
Your eyes are planets
They are beams
They're pouring into me

"Everything before us has put us here," I say
"How I met you here in a sea of people, it's like I've had faith, it feels like something I could only pray."
I say, "If there's any falter in the skies, any mishaps on this earth, that have caused our existences to clash, I'm happy for them and everything that caused them."
"When I look at you I learn more about myself, and when you talk it strikes a match inside of me. It's the warmest feeling I've ever felt."
"The wars, the massacres, the deaths, the scars, the endless drinks at every bar, they've led to this darling."
"I hope one day you can see the things that I see."
"I hope one day you believe in you and me."
Be happy.

I know that death is a part of life
But why does it seem like a shadow with every strife
Where is the end, why are we living
Are we ready to be adults yet

It's hard to live and let live when you
Love and can't let go
It's hard to grow when you know you're getting closer
To and fro the end is a mystery

You can't make rights nor wrongs
You can only make history
What works for me
Doesn't work for you
But why do we care if we never make it through

I want to love you and let go
Never want to grow up
Never want to be left alone
If history's all we can make
Then I want to be known

Skidding across green waters
Feet like projectiles
Mind seas of the west Nile
Delta ideas pouring through sands as they falter

Yes, I'm a bit troubled
The belief is there is no beliefs to be had
But only ideas passed and doubled
Lock it away in your brainsafe, lad
Can't do it when I'm the only one with the code
Lost in the winter and the cold huddled
It's the only pain killer I have

Everybody's picked apart in here
Not prejudice but constantly pre judging
I'd like to think it's a weapon for self defense
Break it down till everyone's predictable
Condense, haven't had a break from these thoughts since
I forced all those sheep over the fence
Hence all I can do is dream, attempts

Dilute me and drink me up, everything I do  is to cover up
Muffle your voice with brain noises, passive aggressive shut the **** up
I wanna know you, but first I need to know me
It's your turn, tell me how guilty you are
Tell me about who you are under all of your scars

I'm on autopilot
So I can talk to myself
Stop trying to hack into me
I need the space
Maybe I'll never come out
But if you break the circuit
Between me and my robot
You're not going to like what you see

There's a connection buzzing in the back of my earpiece
I can hear static voices trying to reach through to me
But I don't know how to tune the connection
I'm not even looking for the dial

So I threw your voice against the wall
It's always been hard when you're in a hole
I'm trying to guide this plane, but I'm just descending
Never thought I'd need a co-pilot
Never thought I'd hear again

Till I heard your voice speaking from the corner of my room, "I love you"
When I'm naked on the ground, confused
You taught me how to walk again, you gave me shoes
This is seven-twenty-seven three to ground control, I think I'm going to be okay

I met you in a sea of people
Makes me feel like it's real
I can't really tell now
Guess I just gotta take some time to heal

Anywhere in between the throwaway poems
And the melancholy music
Where my bed becomes my home
I'm losing it
Just when I thought I had you

The mornings become long when
Your tongues running dry
And you're not thirsty
For anything other than a numb
And I'm, I'm trying to pick up the crumbs
But the floor boards grow farther apart everyday

We're getting older faster
And history is last year
I fear I'm losing time darling
I can't even tell if a future of you and I is near

It's an odd feeling to not know if you're willing to wait for the future
Or have it taken away in your sleep
A freak accident, an existential leap
I want those chemicals to tell me I'm going somewhere more
Then here
What a high it would be, all that DMT
In you brain, just slipping through the seams

And here I fiddle my thumbs
Indulging myself in nostalgic songs
Where do I find the time
To redo all my rights and wrongs
Think it's bout time I get out of bed
Before the only thing I have left is my head

What's going on with me
What's this body
What's this head
Old personality's dead
Got stuck up in being you
And now were through
What's going on with you
What is this anyways

There's reflections of coffins
In your eyes
The medallion you wear reminds me
of the wolf in your heart
Grizzly with passion
Will push anything aside
That beautiful anger you've bred

I breathe you in
But you're an airborne pathogen
I take you in under my skin
It's the only way I could let you in
You may be no good for me
But that's something I don't talk about
It belongs to a list of things I don't want to see

You're an Idol to me
You make me bend at the knees
The most beautiful of chemistries
