You could tell me
Shhhhhh no no no…
I could tell you
Oooouuuu
You feeling sorry for yourself
You think you got the weight of the world
But the world don’t wait for you
No ain’t nobody seen you gone
Like a game of telephone
I know somebody got it wrong
Now that I’m human
You say that I’m in the way
I’m try broadcast every thing possible
To keep the pain away
But I repeat myself like history
Was a novelty
Yeah I repeat myself like mysteries
Weren’t lucid dreams
We all writing our story
Ouuuuuu you feeling sorry for yourself
You think got the weight of the world
But the world don’t wait for you
No ain’t nobody seen you gone
Like a game of telephone
Tell me what I gotta lose
You said it was a movie
I wanted nothing real or personal around me
I’m invested in that now
I hate the way it feels it’s never fair
But I still wanna call it common ground
I got a spiel for everybody hurting me
Ouuuuu if I were lost in the woods
If I had a loss for the words
If I had peace with the worst
Then the gin wasn’t strong enough
So you saying that you him
Might even take it on the chin
Just to lose it on a whim
We’re all looking for glory
Ouuuuuu you feeling sorry for yourself
You know I hate to break the news
But the news might break itself
Ouuuuu no ain’t nobody seen you gone
Like a game of telephone
I know somebody got it wrong

I’m puffy on the outside
On the inside I’m a slow drive
In a little boat at low tide
I know I’m taking after one side
I just wanna let that sink in
But the wit don’t spit like it use to
Hurry up and wait for the sequel
Cus everyone’s alone
But it’s the meaning that you want
Like a flower in the sun
I just wanna grow grow grow
broad and wide wide wide
Running from the worst side
Of my own conscience on a ride
In a little boat at low tide
I’m only looking after one side
I know if I let it sink in
I miss bad trips, stupid reviews
I miss time wasted with you too
Cus everyone’s alone
But it’s the meaning that you want
Like a flower in the sun
I just wanna grow grow grow
broad and wide wide wide
Cus everyone’s alone
But it’s the meaning that you want
Like a flower in the sun
I just wanna grow grow grow

Disrespectfully
There’s nothing special left here for me
Could get it next day delivery
From somebody named Natalie
A couple demons that I’m battling
I had a dream I was a dad to be
But they came out already mad at me
Was the happiest tragedy
The ego is only irrelevant
When you’re not the only elephant
That’s tryna find its element
But I knew exactly what I was looking for
Till I wasn’t sure
I’m misunderstood
I feel seen and not heard
There’s green in my blood
I feel liked but not loved
I’m misunderstood
And the timing’s no good
For anybody cus everybody wanna be somebody else
It’s easier to say that I’m anonymous
When it feel good when I don’t feel right
No I don’t want to be in your sight anymore
So I got some new shoes
I’m running my race
A mental picture of a place that I got on my mind
I know somebody in their prime
But change isn’t really relevant
When you’re not the only elephant
That’s dying in their element
But I knew exactly what I was looking for
Till I needed more
I’m misunderstood
I feel seen and not heard
There’s green in my blood
I feel liked but not loved
I’m misunderstood
And the timing’s no good
For anybody cus everybody wanna be somebody else
You wanted to show me
But I won’t let you take the time to get to know me
For anybody cus everybody wanna be somebody
You’re moving in slowly
But I won’t let you take the time to get to know me
For anybody cus everybody wanna be somebody
I’m misunderstood
And the timing’s no good

Type II Nostalgia

I’ve been taking my emotions for granted
I just wanna see the worst side of you
Before everybody else tries to say
That I was better off blinding myself
Then to see where it goes
But I’d rather see
Hell on earth
Than a state of heaven
Need a shot of that dopamine
Before I see myself
Mistaking your trauma
For type two nostalgia
For somebody else’s mistakes
It’s more than the time and the place
No I’m not the one you should ride for
That’s type two nostalgia
The memories floating in space
Cus nobody’s keeping the pace
Emotional know it all
No I don’t need new leaf
Look what sand did
Been timing out my problems for weeks
On site I could pretend that I’m near you
Cause the darks in my eyes make mistakes
I was better off blinding myself
Then to see where it goes
But I’d rather see
Hell on earth
Than a 7th heaven
Might take a lot to notice me
When you don’t see yourself
Mistaking your trauma
For type two nostalgia
For somebody else’s mistakes
No matter the time or the place
No I’m not the one you should ride for
That’s type two nostalgia
The memories floating in space
Cus nobody’s keeping the pace
Emotional know it all
For somebody else’s mistakes
Tired of loving the same one
Emotional know it all

Burning Up Slow

I get all my hope solo biking in Central Park
Posing my health as a riddle in this population still
It didn’t sit right in my eyes
Didn’t sit right with my patience
It’s breezy while I die on this hill
Cause I don’t see no compromise
If we burning up slow
I’m just tryna fall with you
Would carry out my own demise
If we burning up slow
I’m just tryna fall for you
It was a tragedy with icing
And we about as caked up as Antoinette with a silver lining
The playbook’s gone
And I really don’t care which part of me is dying
Just put one foot in front of the other
One, two, three, four, five
But I ain’t gone hold you to what you say
And the worst part of me is jealous of what you find OK
But you know It wasn’t in my eyes
Didn’t sit right with my patience
It’s breezy while I die on this hill
No I don’t see no compromise
If we’re burning up slow
I’m just tryna fall with you
Would carry out my own demise
If we’re burning up slow
You don’t gotta tell me to
So I don’t need to summarize
If we’re burning up slow
I’m just tryna fall with you
There’s red and yellow in the sky
We’re burning up slow
I’m just tryna fall for you
I’m just tryna fall with you

Sarah
Serotonin
Where you going
Why you leaving me alone
Ohhh
Sarah
My eyes are closing
I’m in the moment till I know the feeling’s gone
Headed to the general store
Cus my incentive is the sedative
The story has lost all its allure
Get all our peace of mind
Lying on the floor
I felt the chemistry before
Like I was caught up in the Summer rain
I feel what I feel and nothing more
Could take on the worst of both worlds
So tell me why
I just wanna see the end
then run it back again
Another piece of my mind on lease
I need Sarah
Serotonin
Where you going
Why you leaving me alone
Ohhh
Sarah
My eyes are closing
I’m the moment till I know the feeling’s gone
Alright alright alright alright alright
Just had the time of my life
Tiptoeing ‘round the context of wrong and right
Ain’t nothing here that I like
I’m just trying to use my words like I wash my whites
We just wanna see the end then run it back again
Another piece of my mind on lease
I need Sarah
Serotonin
Where you going
Why you leaving me alone
Ohhh
Sarah
My eyes are closing
I’m the moment till I know the feeling’s gone
And now the feeling’s gone
The feeling’s gone

Sorry I Haven't Called
by Vagabon
supported by 9 fans who also own “Thin Ice On The Cake”
One of her most upbeat projects but carries the saddest undertones. Her standout sound on each album is incredibly varied. I loved her take on more African styles music and dance beats.
