This is a track about moving on and the people left behind in the process who refuse to face refuse, or just can't see it.

lyrics

Never come back klaanegemaane
Ma’ can you hear me? I’m going far
Papa can you hear me? I’m going far
Old friends can you hear me? I’m going far
Old friends can you hear me? I’ll never come back
I’m going far
Traveling a new path
Keep your eyes off the window
I’ll never come back (x4)
(0:45)
See this one night
...I was king in a momentary Second of your silence
I saw the light
I give no damn if you noticed
Due to the motion of your eyelid
It can be partially depicted
By the color of your iris
And the trail that it project
Though out the darkness that I live Illuminating shadowed corners
Of lost corridors that I left
Quietly buried for years
Next to the peers
That I intentionally forced
Off of the dock into wars
With their mentally repressed self Hidden outside of the lines
That everyone reads between Close both your eyes
Now tell me what you see
See it’s just me in the dark
With no tricks up my sleeve
No antennas to tell me words
That my lips can’t leak
But I’m sick of being me Twisted at the torso
And I’m sick of being neat But I’ve got to clean more so I’m dying hopeless
Here’s the diagnosis
A sick individual who
Don’t eat enough now Grew up in a tough crowd Lucky my growth spurt spit And decided to hit quick
Or else I’d be malnourished Now and hungry as shit
I’m skinny as a twig
With a dense set of muscle
Never learned the hustle
Decided I’d work for it
Cutting the dead weight and dirt Off my life like a proper florist Skull as thick as fucking forest Brain enchanted as a castle
No monkey for ya back
I am nobody’s hassle
(1:52)
I’m going far
Traveling a new path
Keep your eyes off the window
I’ll never come back (x4)
(2:15)
Who you know as fresh as this With a flow that could invoke a lisp Who you know as fresh as this With a flow that roped an eclipse Open up your drought book
So I can show it a real flow
Water in my words
Like I hydrate my verbs
You were born to ride
That why you’ve got a Seabiscut And he’s fast and all
But you get tired of the land
I was born to fly with my Nine Skybiscuts
And I bloom beautiful As a hibiscus
And while we were saving grace
We never stopped to save your name But I know you’ve got a case
So, you can state your claim
Now just open up your face
And I’ll listen while you explain
But you’re persuasive as a face lift
So my views remain the same
That’s why I peaced at the cross roads For you to take the right path
While I up and left home
And I’ll never come back
Living under circumstances that Taught me how the grow up quick There’s too much life to live
To sit and piss it in the wind
You would have seen hint
If you weren’t so busy as shit Charging a hurricane with
Your dribbling dick in your fist
Now you’re just muttering bullshit Letting it slip from your lips
It’s been about time to get a grip
Tell me who got smoked in
In that last bong rip
I don’t see the glass coughing
Or dissatisfaction with
Itself and all it looks lost in
But I see that in you often
That smile means nothing
Marching around
Like the world owes you something
Time to grow up Kids...
(x8)
