| I travel with a lungful of music, doesn’t weigh a thing | |
| Reed’s built in, breathe through it every time I sing | |
| And I got pockets full of my own hands, head full of back-up plans | |
| Temper walks beside me, a gift I guess from my old man | |
| History: lines on my face | |
| Future: lines on my palm | |
| They say heaven’s guarded by gates, damnation don’t care much who’s calling | |
| But I don’t fall for that line, only one I walk is mine | |
| I carry what I can and I’m still making good time | |
| Bones are hollow, that’s where I keep marrow | |
| This quiver in my lip, that’s just where I keep my arrows | |
| I fold up my ideas I pack em neat inside my skull | |
| I got this string theory: doesn’t work to push, you gotta pull | |
| So I’m pulling for me, and I’m pulling for mine | |
| And they’re easy to read, but you can’t trust the signs | |
| Eyes blur in the heat, heat curves all the lines | |
| Try to keep up, speed up, get your feet up | |
| And match mine. | |

| [SIMS] | |
| Gravity I never learned | |
| I'm in the air stretch it out spaghetti western | |
| I make it glow then let it go, no effort | |
| That attachment only kept your flame sequestered | |
| I just let it how the ember in my chest burn | |
| I wasn't in for the fame or making profit | |
| I just came to scrape my name into the cinder blocking | |
| Now they're flocking because the feather's same | |
| I just burned the oil, toiled, man I fed the flame | |
| You better aim before they tame you, boy | |
| It's a wild world they're coming for your pelt, young boy | |
| They're tolling all the bells, Tolstoy | |
| It’s war and peace, beast came to eat, old boy | |
| Oh boy. | |
