Puffs of Purpose
Soul searchin naive out in the seas
6ix to the capital more to it then it seems
Spiralin with flakes embracing the fiction
A life of distraction contents the belly with deception
Too much flow in the gusts
Needles stick out in the dusts
Keep surfing the waves one by one
Island to island no home to be won
Surface remains on the high
Still don't know what lingers inside
They got it loose that day a night for no sleep
Pieces of the puzzle start to turn bleak
Do the shapes align, or does your mind resign
Too much food the dope had inside
Forsaken for eternity
Popped like cherries in what's new to me
The verses of my people threaded single file
It runs through the ears and goes another mile
Past present future what really exists?
Emptiness from what was and what's shrouded in the mist
Biases sway the paths bit by bit
Bonfires with promise and desires with malice
Blood stops us from lighting the fires
Nerves help with tearing up the flyers
Treasure was never made for everyone
God knows that'd steal all the fun
Smoke and curtains amuse enough
Behind the scenes not made for ya puffs
