Across the Double White Lines

(Party Chatter)

(Mr. Clear-Eyed verse)

In my family, for the failures,
I set the precedents,
Because I’m everything…
Mama thinks I ain’t
I was told that I can’t change
If I live this life in vain
(If I live this life in vain)

Reality’s a juke
When all I’m ‘round is fools
My lungs, they need to cool
While my cup still half-full

But seems there’s no peace to find
Cause they keep on pulling out the lines…

Should I keep going
Just to flop for the ages?
With the worst made decisions
Rather rush back to the city
From this small town’s little clinches
Cross the double white, all while still faded
But I can still see clearly, the road’s looking slanted

The road’s looking slanted
Road’s lookin slanted
The road’s looking… slanted
Across the double white…

(JetSoSwift verse)

I’m sick of it
Seeing strangers put their problems in a line
And think sniffin’ it
Would make things different
These people lacking discipline
No, they’re lacking morals
But they’ll only see
When their lifecycle hits the end

That summa cum laude was cummin’
In the strip club
Mumblin’ bout’ some problems
Complaining like a bitch does
Maybe he was drunk,
Just smoked a blunt, on the fifth one
But I can see it in his eyes,
If he liked her he would get some…
That primal intuition starts kickin’ in
There’s no stoppin’ it
Looking at my friend, like you shouldn’t have even brought me with
Reluctant with my answer, I thought it would have been obvious
Just saying…

I’m leaving with a statement
You can see things clearly or be Mr. Mistaken
Think of what you’re doing, all that time that you are wasting
Wait for dotted lines, all you need is some…
Patience.

The Pill to Swallow

(Mr. Clear-Eyed verse)

Oh, I want to stay true to my worth
Wanted to give you the world
Holding up my own, in hopes
That there is an answer
If I question it all
Fly somewhere far
This time, die as a star

Instead, I tumble and stall

My own greatness has dissolved

Just for love to leave me scarred

Now there’s no room in my heart
No sight of sparks, in the shade of the dark
Being with you only lessens my worth
And I need my time here on Earth

I need my time here on earth…

(Hook)

Life is quite the pill to swallow
But I’ll be glad if I can wake tomorrow
Only to still feel lost and hollow
I’ll no longer wallow and reel in sorrow
My will, like the show, goes on and I follow
And I follow
And I follow
And I follow
And I follow
And I follow…

(P4 Verse)

Loneliness surrounds me…
Been by myself forever
I was searching, you found me
And now I lost my treasure
I wish I could go back
And I wish you would know that
Your emptiness fills me
I’m full of this sorrow
I am playing with time that has only been borrowed…
I’ve already heard that,
So don’t even bother
Doubting myself
You made me question again
Am I worthy enough?
My ego, with you, it left
Always doing too much
You have no time to respect
Why you go against me
If I go with what you said?
Making up scenarios
I question what goes on in your head
You know I’m there for you
It’s just a question of when,
Loneliness surrounds me…

It wasn’t about you girl,
First time I got my heart broke
It was when you broke my trust
And backstabbed me, steady knowing
I had my eyes closed
And I learned that ones you least expect to do some out of pocket, you gotta watch those
Your baby is not yours
Told you she arrivin’ late
But you’ll find her feet kicked up at my home
I’m just in my zone
Been on all ends
And I didn’t hesitate
I always played my role…

(Mr. Clear-Eyed & P4 Outro)

Quite the pill to swallow
But I’ll be glad if I can wake tomorrow
Only to still feel lost and hollow
I’ll no longer wallow and reel in sorrow
My will, like the show, goes on and I follow
And I follow
And I follow
And I follow
And I follow
And I follow…

Loneliness surrounds me…
Been by myself forever
I was searching, you found me
And now I lost my treasure
I wish I could go back
And I wish you would know that
Your emptiness fills me
I’m full of this sorrow
I am playing with time that has only been borrowed…

Ballad of the Clear-Eyed

My home is wherever I go
I know, it won’t be next to you
I wish you a life full of hope
And children that you too can give love

I’m here, waiting at the airport
For the plane to let me board
All I’m left with is a star to restore,
It’s packed and busy in this terminal…

Seems I can’t breathe, it’s hard to cope
How much longer till I depart?
For the happy fate in store
Nothing like the one we lost…

(“We lost” echoes into verse 2, plane taking off sound, a concussive sound backed by “I’m here waiting at the airport”)

And now I can take off,
Baptized disillusioned,
Out the window, memories… go
(Woah)

Clear-eyed, I see the peak to reach
Can’t and won’t accept defeat.
I’ll win, in conclusion
(Oh)

(Break)

(Oh)

(Plane flying by)

It No Longer Aches

(Mr. Clear-Eyed verse)

Between a rock and a hard place
I couldn’t figure it out, what it is that you need
But you are not for me to save
(Yeah)
I think it’s clear,
It’s the world that I’d rather change

It’s a relief, I must accept
that in your world I have no place,
nor you in mine
I give up the chase
So you can leave me out the race

I have a future I should face
Emotions that I am to mend
I’m almost there
Still in midair

I’ve been called up to stage,
where my Brothers wait
Among the Stars, we will find a place
And all we do, you cannot remake
But for now, I’m so glad
My heavy heart is losing weight
Cause’ for once,

(Mr. Clear-Eyed Hook)

It no longer aches…
And not much more can break

(JetSoSwift Hook)
It no longer aches…
And not much more can…

(JetSoSwift verse)

It no longer aches…

And not much more can…

Break my
Progress, I felt
Lost in the fog that consumes
Every once in a blue moon
I was lower than a scuba
Keep it all inside me
I’ll blow up like a tuba

Now I’m what I choose to be
People can’t take use from me
Building on a life, with my brothers
That is true to me

Made a new kind of structure
That will never rupture
Will so sharp, it can cut ya

I had days when I felt buried alive
I had to bury my pride and then some
Made promises I repented
No regrets, you get the message
Everything I said, I meant it
Get my spectacle from the Interstice
I promise this, no wonder to it
Make a hit, or two, but 8 in the first
And we’re the first to do it…

(P4 verse)

At times im feeling worthless, Man im losing my purpose, used to be at your service, but im no longer a servant, only for me im working, to leave you out im determined, it took time and i earned it, all of this i derserve it, haters closely observing, i hope that they learning, and they find what they searching, how can i word this? You’ve become a burden, the candle no longer is burning, you saw the condition would worsen, then showed your true person, ready to bite and your lurking, what you are you’re a serpent

(Group Hook)

(Bridge)

Jet- And not much more can break…
P4- and how much more can break?

(Outro hook reprise)
It no longer aches
(No longer, no longer, no longer)
So tell me, how much more can break?
(No longer, no longer, no longer)
It no longer aches
So tell me, how much more can?

The Deadline

(JetSoSwift verse)

Shooting at me, they try to shoot me down
Usually it grounds me but not now
Slow in this race
There's no need speed up
The rabbit had lost to the turtle with his feet up

I'm in sobriety
From the drug of greed that's inside of me
It's dark but I’m searching for the brighter things
Losing I might just be
But first place is a lie to me

And it just makes sense
Take out the issues that make you tense up
I mean that deadline is suspenseful
Makes everything difficult in the mental
Big breath, step back and chill
Can't you feel that it's a thrill
I thought life was for the journey
Every chapter has a story

(Interplay verse)
(Mr. Clear-Eyed) I cannot breathe
(JetSoSwift) Take it breath by breath
(Mr. Clear-Eyed) I cannot achieve
(JetSoSwift) Take it step by step
(Mr. Clear-Eyed) My future is a dream
My life is in a cycle
I'm living for no reason
What more can I do?

(Jet)

The problem is not you
The problem is you see a date when nothing's ever due
If what I see is true when I look into the mirror
I might be growing older
But don't fear it

(Hook)

And it just makes sense
Take out the issues that make you tense up
I mean that deadline is suspenseful
Makes everything difficult in the mental
Big breath, step back and chill
Can't you feel that it's a thrill
I thought life was for the journey
Every chapter has a story

Flip back
To the page
Where they made minimum wage
Now we sing and serenade
Make a presence on the stage
But it's day by day
Doesn't mean we have to wait
Got the talent as a trait
Member I said have some patience

(Mr. Clear-Eyed verse)

I should warn you
Win, lose, it’s all on ya
Only you can be your Savior
To help the self is all that is due

Don’t expect the world to turn
For what you keep inside
If everybody runs the race
No one makes the finish line

Once I thought I had the slowest start
But I’ve since found my pace
The problem was,
I lost the Will the Maker gave to me
My true self is a man that you never got to meet
But The Deadline is not real, and purpose not instilled

(Hook reprise)

And it just makes sense
Take out the issues that make you tense up
I mean that deadline is suspenseful
Makes everything difficult in the mental
Big breath, step back and chill
Can't you feel that it's a thrill
I thought life was for the journey
Every chapter has a story

Flip back
To the page
Where they paid minimum wage
Now we sing and serenade
Make a presence on the stage
But it's day by day
Doesn't mean we have to wait
Got the talent as a trait
But I still need some patience…

Sleeping Giants Fallen Short

(Mr. Clear-Eyed verse)

Oh, it’s back to the now
I still haven’t won
A giant fallen short
Of his worth
Lived for all else but
Slept on myself long
How I stand tall, I wonder,
And Send my thanks Above
Failure was a start
I have to still face the end
Of the life I knew of once
The world, it will spin on
And with it, I must live on
Till the day, I will be gone…
The show, it will keep on
by the end, we will have won
Righted our wrongs …

(Hook)

So may Heaven keep a space
Reserved for us
Once us Sleeping Giants wake
No stopping us
Our window to the world, it’s opened up
The faith you never had in me, I have in Us…

(JetSoSwift Bridge)

Speak on my potential
But you failed to mention
The moments I go down
Are needed for ascension

But I needed that lesson
To learn what it is that don't feel right
My efforts would have lessened
If the pessimist stayed real tight
But my willpower has the will to beat this apocalypse
Sacrifice myself and can't forget what the martyr did

I can not be enticed by worse
I will beat the cycle first
The hierarchy that falls before me is not important to my worth…

(Hook reprise)

(P4 verse)

When I lost all my faith in my life there you came, thought there would be a change,
but you turned out the same, pray I forget your name, always came up too short and I couldn't afford what he offered to pay, and my all what I gave, I dug up my own grave,
Mistakes they were made, you cant take it back now for you it too late, the promise was broken within the same day,
no problem I’m used to the feeling of being betrayed, mistakes they were made, you can’t take it back now for you it’s too late, the promise was broken within the same day,
It no longer aches and not much more can break…

(Mr. Clear-Eyed outro)

… May Heaven keep a space reserve for us
Once us Sleeping Giants wake, no stopping us…

Last Barks, First Bites

(P4 Verse)

I collapse, but I get up, I won’t let up
Memory is blurred, but I remember
What you said of, young paper—I won’t let up
Standing on business, what I do is with precision
I ain’t scared of nothing, I paid the devil a visit, yuh
Demons are with me, they watch over my shoulder
My schedule so busy, I’m working time over
I stay with my glizzy, and I’m never sober
The pain that I feel eases as I grow older
Strong marijuana—my fragrance, my odor
Make money, not friends, then I make a disorder
Get drunk and pass out, do it right in that order
Shawty get to working, she want me to record her
Hear me before I’m coming, if I smash, on my motor
Bad as she might be, that don’t mean that I want her
Everyone turning once I hit the corner
You can’t rush greatness, so I had to go slower
Everything in abundance, but back then I had nothing
The influence, I’m under it
If I drop a song, it’s another hit
Every day, I fuck another (hahaha)
If it ain’t my gun, I ain’t trusting it
Your seatbelt—you should buckle it
Must not know who they fucking with
Leaning, I’m dozing—the dose, I go over
Riding with pistols, my van’s filled with soldiers
Need your deposit if you place an order
No one can stop me, I came to take over

(P4 Hook)

Demons are with me, they watch over my shoulder
My schedule so busy, I’m working time over
I stay with my glizzy, and I’m never sober
The pain that I feel eases as I grow older

(Mr. Clear-Eyed Verse)

The barks I once let out,
They soon turned to cries
But time—it did pass by
The kid still survived
And now more than ever, he’s ready to bite
The Angels, they warned him
There’s only one life
He felt he was chosen, but not for what’s right
Demons accept him but never mankind
But that is a lie—Devils don’t cry
He’s only human,
That Mr. Clear-Eyed
Existent, but still far from being alive
Although for once, he no longer feels fright
The Maker has willed it
That he find the light
That of his fortune, he’ll have his first bites.

(Refrain)

(His first bites)
(His first bites)
(His first bites)

(P4 Outro)

Demons are with me, they watch over my shoulder
My schedule so busy, I’m working time over
I stay with my glizzy, and I’m never sober
The pain that I feel eases as I grow older
I collapse, but I get up, I won’t let up…

Face the Future / Love the World

(Mr. Clear-Eyed Verse)

I see that at last,
Our time in the cradle has passed
Now, it’s just a matter of if we’ll last
Or if we will even surpass
Expectations on our backs
And if I’ll grasp
We can’t so simply forget the past…
The world’s our only stage
And life our only act

(Crowd ambiance throughout)

So To all that I’ve dealt with
All the wrong chances
Aimless advances
Hopeless romances
I make my peace, can’t take it all back
We cannot afford another setback…
But if we do, you know I got our backs

(Hook with P4 backing)

So from here on,
we must Face the future
Love the world back
For keeping us here,
And kept on track
On the verge of tears,
We can never hold back
Live through all our years
Outlive the selves past…

(P4 verse)

Your making a fool of yourself, I been meaning to tell you, heard that before…
say it again, I’m a failure, everyone’s waiting for help save yourself… no don’t save her,
A moment of clarity he had made it back
from the danger,
I spoke with the devil
She has the face of an angel,
left me feeling unstable… but I was able to find my way back.
Didn’t you say that I would be nothing?
I won’t forget that, gave it a shot, if it’s for me,
I know it will last…
No need to worry, new journey,
I’ve learned from the past.

(Hook reprise with Jet backing)

(Break down)

(JetSoSwift Verse)

I'm Waging a war with myself from before this
My logic was porous the work was a chore
Feel like my story will end up on Forbes list
But glory is not the importance I aim for
My self improvement
Through trials been boosted
I'll use it to give back the love that I lacked
The hurt left a stain on me
But blessings it rains on me
Patiently waiting to get back on track

Leading by example
I had to take a detour
From that which will destroy me
I had to hit the restart
I might be in war but the end goal is for more peace
Gone with all the excess mess in my life,
need some mercy
Once it was shown to me, life only got better
Easy to look back when I was a lesser
Learning from my mistakes, I don't need a lecture
Keeping my eyes on my greatest endeavors…

(Group hook + harmonies + voices from the Interstice)

(All while guitar progresses)

So from here on,
we must Face the future
Love the world back
For keeping us here,
And kept on track
On the verge of tears,
We can never hold back
Live through all our years
Outlive the selves past…

(Ad libs structured throughout)

FACE THE FUTURE AND LOVE THE WORLD BACK
(Face the Future)
(Love the World)
FACE THE FUTURE AND LOVE THE WORLD BACK…
(Face the Future)
For keeping us here, and kept on track
(Love the World)
Live through all our years,
(Face the Future)
OUTLIVE THE SELVES PAST…

(Love the World…)

THE END.
