Firmalino - Dovetailing

Grinding away
At the end of the day
Yearning it's
Driving me
Stirring me up
Taking a trip
Washing my hands again
Sending me around the bend
What's that noise
Oh here i am
Ain't doing this for free
In a hundred degrees
You laugh when I fall
Your run when I call
Get your hands in the sink
Carry it all
The big and the small
People
Driving me
Stirring me up
Taking a trip
Washing my hands again
Sending me around the bend
Why won't you
Dove tail
Bellies are full
Table's a mess
Splash when I fall
Back at the sink
Washing away
Washing away
At the end of the day
Yearning it's
Driving me
Stirring me up
Taking a trip
Washing my hands
Washing my hands
Washing away

Pointed fingers
You know we are the target
On your white sheets
Your painted freedoms
It's spilling greed
And entitlement
And everyone beneath you
You like to think that
I curse you to reflect back
Those words you spew
And soon it will bite back
And soon it will bite back
Fear of
A playing field equalized
No sugar in a dough
Its sour and it's shit like
Golden wheels stand
Trophy of the privilege
What's the latest news
Those words you spew
I curse you to reflect back
I curse you to reflect back
Those words you spew
I curse you to reflect back
I curse you to reflect back
I curse you to reflect back
I curse you to reflect back
and soon it will bite you back
and soon it will bite you back
and soon it will bite you back
and soon it will bite you back

Used to sing so loud in an empty building
Afraid to speak a single word so loud
Everyone would turn towards my direction
Afraid they'd take this away from me
i'm new here, how are you
what's your name
i try to make you laugh
seconds to grab a moment of your life
with this glass of mine
a silhouette lies
can I see your eyes
through this glass of mine
a silhouette lies
trapped within a scene solved all my troubles
working with what i have
working with what i got
under a fake sky
taking deep breathes
tell time and time i tell them why?
a silhouette lies
can I see your eyes
through this glass of mine

Firmalino - My Trout
03:57

Distance hurt
Though this has an affect on me
Could be wrong
Occupied the only way I can be
Deal with it
I'm dealing with it, dealing it
Hear your voice
Every day and every night
There's so much more than I would like to write
Not enough never enough never enough
Finally it feels like home
Shield me, my trout, in your best ways
Lived our lives
Following two different paths
Converged
Thirty years later
Reunited hearts
Recognized one another
Reconnect
Fireworks fire when together
Here's to that future
Here's to holding you close
Here's to lazy sundays
Here's to everything

Defeated
i am exhausted
And tired
I've yet to open my eyes (from this)
Morning of AM
my alarming light
notifications are my sunrise
haven't had my medications yet,
for breakfast
there you are on my stairs
Motives
unlikely don't fire back
(why won't we listen). listen.
we say listen but we don't abide
done now, shall this continue
Shall I see you
Did I Interrupt you
If you only heard one side
you wouldn't understand me anyway
If we didn't hurt inside.
thick skin from truth and lies
could we take this somewhere else.
how could you say this all the time
this would never ever end.
If you only heard one side.
Defeated
i am exhausted
And tired
I've yet to open my eyes (from this)
Morning of AM
my alarming light
notifications are my sunrise
haven't had my medications yet,
for breakfast
there you are on my stairs
Defeated
Defeated
Defeated

Firmalino - Gripping Pen
03:38

Blocking it out
It's trapping me in
Standing in its way
It's pushing me over
It's calm, it goes
It shrinks, it grows
it’s all in my head,
no, this never shows
Blocking it out
It's trapping me in
Standing in its way
It's pushing me over
It stays for a while
Then leaves with a smile
Don’t follow it though
it’s not worthwhile
I’m holding on
Gripping the pen
I won’t move on
This is not the end
Blocking it out
Standing it its way
Won’t trap me in
Won’t push me down
Push me down
Won't push me down
Won't push me down

Firmalino - Ocean Apart

There’s a space between us.
It’s hard not to measure.
We were horizons
and someone’s shiny someday
that space from there to now.
hibernation.
Closed up and folded in half.
shut up. And talk to me.
We are where we need to be.
an ocean apart.
I stand here
with the ocean between us.
an ocean apart
an ocean apart
In the space between awake
and asleep
Arms stretch towards me
Slow entanglement
Years fall away
we’re right side up.
hibernation.
I love how my eyes search your face
to find the same thing every time
I wait long days to finally look over your shoulder.
To to see my locked hands like praying
I feel impossible
I built my walls so slow
for you to tear down.
and you can tear them down
there's a space between us
an ocean apart
I stand here with the ocean between us
And you can’t swim.
There’s a space between us.
It’s hard not to measure.
We were horizons
and someone’s shiny someday
that space from there to now.
an ocean apart
an ocean apart
an ocean apart

Firmalino - Bad Vacation

I was sitting at the bar in a lobby
With a salesman his name was Bobby
Young waitress had cigars from Cuba
Bobby's got a voice like a tuba
Don't you know those things are illegal?
Trust me here, the american eagle.
Waitress says you're not in the states.
Bobby doesn't get a whole lot of dates.
Welcome to the lost city reborn
I was walking down a narrow street
Young cancuck brand new to the heat
Street meat filled the air with flavor
Then a dude asked me for a favor
Hey sir where you get those shoes?
Hey buddy do you need any booze?
Hey man do you have any cash?
Hey shithead hand it off fast
Welcome to the lost city reborn
Welcome to the old crown of thorns
Now it's time to get on the plane
I can barely remember my name
Drink wine and get under the weather
Beer's good but Lquour is better
Club music rings in my ears
Gonna come back this time next year.
Welcome to the lost city reborn
Welcome to the old crown of thorns

candle light pressed in bottles
keeps us occupied at endless nights
all that is blacking out
a flame burning away
pages hard to read from lack of light
assignments due by tuesday
frozen lines in all the towns
sans electric city
all that is blacking out
but a flame burning away
respect yourselves, a radio plays
voices keeps us, up to date
patience we will ride this out
i don't know, save yourselves
stove top kerescene
prevents us all from hunger
stains taste of gasoline
why does this happen to me
heavy storms hit again
forward taking refuge
all that is blacking out
but a flame burning away

Be my design
You're already
My dictionary
Yet a lot to learn
an open book that i read
Countiniously
No end picture this
Nothing is attached
We must admit
It's clear as mud
Whole of anything
Its greater than its parts
Getstald
Profound both loose parts
Making watercolor glare
I hope it makes your ears bleed
I hope it makes you sing
I hope it makes your ears bleed
I hope it makes you sing
I hope it makes your ears bleed
I hope it makes you sing
It may
Be ambiguous,
But in fact I told you right
It's obvious
I see
Moving dots
Just a walking dog
It's logic and wired
It don't have to make sense
Perceive it in
Any another way
No end picture this
Nothing is attached
We must admit
It's clear as mud
Whole of anything
Its greater than its parts
Getstald
Profound
Both loose parts
Making watercolor shine
I hope it makes your ears bleed
I hope it makes you sing along
I hope it makes your ears bleed
I hope it makes you sing along
I hope it makes your ears bleed
I hope it makes you sing along
Be my design
You're already
My dictionary
Yet a lot to learn
An open book that i read
Countiniously
No end
But picture this
Nothing is fixed
And clear as mud
Whole of anything
It's greater than its parts
