But I'm just breathing in
And then I cut it all out
And shout it out loud
There's sun after rain
And water after drought
I feel alright
That's why I shut it all down
And stand up off the ground
Between ebb and flow
I slowly let it go
I feel alright
There's no light
Without the darkest place
Only if you know fears
Then you know happiness
And then I cut it all out
And shout it out loud
There's sun after rain
And water after drought
I feel alright
That's why I shut it all down
And stand up off the ground
Between ebb and flow
I slowly let it go
I feel alright
I feel alright

But I'm just breathing in

And then I cut it all out

Comes with the weighing of the word
No silver lining eyed along the edge
Talk about the flood and not the ebb

Start this off with any word you’re desperate to be true
It’s raining on me
The sun shines on you
Seal up the whole building
Park the car to block the view 

Be you familiar with the devil world?

The wind has stopped
The woods are still
Snowflakes are coming down hard  
Like shards of white thunder
My heartbeat is ticking off
The ebb and flow of my life

I pull the beast of my manhood
Oout of its lair
It lies in my hand flaccid and shrivelled 
A stumpy story of self-reduction

Slice by slice 
Like tiny bricks of flesh and blood  
I build the shrine of my art
The mortar of pain 
Binds the days of agony

Michelangelo and Leonardo
Painted joy and beauty
With keen eyes
And bristly brushes

I sculpt torment
My blade is dull
My blade is dull
My blade is dull

(High-tail your load off the road)
Who ran the iron horse? (Out of night-life, it's a gas man)
Who ran the iron horse? (I don't believe I gotta grieve)

Who ran the iron horse?

Twelve roses, one bouquet
My plea for you to wait and stay
No need to ask how we got here
I fail and learn that way
My imperfections on display
All that you see is disappointments

Disappointments, these fragments they all spiral down
Wondering how we could work this out
Call me romantic or maybe just hopeless
But picture if we turnabout

This feels like Penrose
We never cease to find new lows
Where else do these stairs go
If we try reviving
Can we be heroes
Facing off against ebbs and flows
I want a love like Penrose
And for yours I'm striving

Penrose
Penrose
Penrose
Penrose
Penrose
Penrose

Fast-forward, present day
The roses wilted, thrown away
Can't say the same for our fire
Blossoming like flowers in May
And late at night we dance and sway
You tell me you feel inspired

Feel inspired, desire to maintain the flame
I hear it each time you say my name
Often I'll think back to when we were hopeless
And how far we've come since things changed

This feels like Penrose
Finding highs we've never known
Where else do these stairs go
If we keep climbing
Maybe we're heroes
Facing off against all our foes
I love you like Penrose
Nonstop, we're thriving

When love goes wrong
Nothing goes right
This one thing I know
When love goes wrong
A man takes flight
And women get uppity-oh

The sun don't beam
The moon don't shine
The tide don't ebb and flow
A clock won't strike
A match won't light
When love goes wrong
Nothing goes right

The blues all gather round you
And day is dark as night
A man ain't fit to live with
And a woman's sorry sight

When love goes wrong
Nothing goes right
When love goes wrong
Nothing goes right
When love goes wrong
Nothing goes, nothing goes right
A woman's a fright, a terrible sight
A man goes out, gets high as a kite
Love is something you just can't fight
You can't fight it, honey
You can't fight it
When love goes wrong, nothin'
No bows, honey, just cigat bars and off
Nothing goes right
Crazy, Crazy oui, oui

It's like we said
You're better off dead
When love has lost its glow
So take this down in black and white
When love goes wrong nothing goes right
When love goes wrong nothing goes right
Nothing goes right

Hannibal, MO

Dolorean

Not Exotic

2003

I had a true love from Hannibal
Where the Mississippi turns flat and wide
We'd lay out on the sandbars 
And fall asleep to the barges and the fireflies
And I killed my true love from Hannibal
She was nineteen and I was twenty-two
Summer was ending and she was leaving soon 
To study writing on the east coast
And I worked in my father's shop 
Fixing air conditioners and heating pumps
Going to college never made much sense to me 
I wanted to keep my true love close to me

The summers are hot in Hannibal 
The summers there are unbearable
So we'd steal down to the water's edge 
And cool off in the river's ebb
One night we decided what we would do 
Swim to the middle ‘til our strength gave out
Where the current was strong and deep 
Together we'd be pulled down to sleep
So we swam ‘til our bodies were weak
I watched my true love get washed out to sea
I felt a terrible grip from beneath
The river took her but it didn't take me

In St.

Party favours booty shakin'
Step foot into her parlour
Spider catching flies
Head above the water
Planets getting hotter
Shit keeps getting harder
It don't seem to bother
Cockadoodledoo you got it
Or you don't you go and get it
Now you know there's no regretting
Where you at all souls embedded
And indebted to our karma

What's left to say
What's left to say

Back from the west coast
Waves crash the ebb/flow
Kicking it off from the get go
Onto the deco visual echos
All across the walls she said so
Buddy bumping
T-t-t-techno
Body buzzing
Better to take notes
Bunnin' dubbies
Tokin' away slow on the flip side
Flop getting a grip on the rip tide
Drop dripping in images
Insight sought
Fixing itself from the inside got
Digging within without you since I saw you last
Like a light you passed
Woven white a flash
Tales of getting cash
What's left to say when the only thing that's looking back's the
Road ahead so go ahead and flip the script inside the vast
Monkey mind, nasty girl, coca cola candy world
Hocus poke around her panties, long banana gone and 'atta girl

I've got a fish on the line
But there won't be a feast
We've got too much in common
And he shall be released
I've seen day turn to night
And watched the changin' of seasons
Things don't just happen
They happen for a reason

Maybe we'll meet in Exuma
Or down in the Keys
If I catch the right current
Or capture a breeze out here conflicts and
Chaos completely subside
Sailin' back to where I came from
Back to slack tide

Well, I think it's time to
Put some snorkels on
Turn your feet into flippers
Have some primal fun
Dance with a stranger in a Mardi Gras parade
Find an empty hammock
Take a nap in the shade

You can't hold back the moon
Can't stop the ebb and flow
The water still comes and
The water still goes
It turns mountains to sand
Gave ol' Noah his big ride
Then he dropped off his passengers
Down at slack tide

I can't control anybody other than myself
Leave those half empty thoughts
High up on the shelf
If you cut me some slack
I'll return the favor
Open that bottle of fine rum
That together, we will savor

Well, we could use some quiet
We could use a little calm
Find the good in everybody
Share that "one love" balm
Watch the predators and prey
Swim along side by side
'Neath the blue sky and mangroves
Down at slack tide

I wish the whole wide world could swim along
At slack tide

Swim along, swim along, swim along
Swim along at slack tide
Swim along, swim along, swim along
Swim along

Let's go back to where the scene
Is cliffs covered with olive trees
And the color of the lido is aqua green
We'll dip our toes in and watch the kids swim
Listen as the waves roll in
Lapping up against the boats floating
We'll wonder how we made the climb
We reached Vernazza just in time
We'll think to leave then ask ourselves why
Don't we deserve this
Anchovies then gelato
Your swollen feet my sun kissed nose
The salt and sweet completes the ebb and flow
We'll finish off with red and white
I'll drink until my throat is dry
In the shade of the baldacchino
We'll wonder how we made the climb
We reached Vernazza just in time
We'll think to leave then ask ourselves why
Don't we deserve this
Beggars can't be choosers
But we're never the losers
We've won more than once upon a time
Block out all the bruisers
And cut off all the users
No one owns divine paradise

Uh-huh
Good
Then come dance with me
We're gonna let go
Swim in the ebb and flow
Turn off all the lights
Yeah
Fall towards the inside
A secret place no one else knows
We're all alone tonight
It's a rhythm
We both know a heartbeat
We both feel
Don't think, just close your eyes
Don't stop your feet
Let's just keep on moving
Don't be afraid
Give in to the music
Tonight we've got to give it all
Tonight we've got to let it go
Tonight we've got to lose control
Are you ready to dance?

Breathe
And out
And in
And out
And in
And out
And in
And out

We're gonna let go
Swim in the ebb and flow
Turn off all the lights
Yeah
Fall towards the inside
A secret place no one else knows
We're all alone tonight
It's a rhythm
We both know a heartbeat
We both feel
Don't think, just close your eyes
Don't stop your feet
Let's just keep on moving
Don't be afraid
Give in to the music

Tonight we've got to give it all
Tonight we've got to let it go
Tonight we've got to lose control

Are you ready to dance?

The rim and reach of words
The buzz and whirl of rain
The ghost of something pure,
Surfacing again

the glimmer off the bay
The ebb and spill of grace
The breeze and fill of sail
The lift and sway of waves

slow,
Rolling slow

you in gold and gift
You with saturn eyes
Slow and fast asleep
Here is all my life

slow,
Breathing slow

if ever was the sea
The deep and airless swim
Pray loves cool gravity
To never enter in

slow,
Drowning slow
Rolling slow

taking me

Telling me every little word you’ve ever known
Just to keep the sound of my voice on the phone
And it's not that I wanted to let go
But somethings off in the ebb and flow
But you already know
Cause we talk talk talk
But we get nowhere
And the ticking of the clock won’t stop
Were caught screaming this ain’t fair
And I know you’re thinking that I'm going mad
Leaving the comfort of the world you’ve been dreaming about
That we never had
But Love don’t grow in a garden of tears
And nobody wanna look back
On a book they wrote out of fear
Holding on to the pain of the past
It never gets easier believe me girl
But we can’t go back we can’t go back
Thinking of anyway Id be back one day
But nothing in the world could make it okay
That I ever even left in the first place
What’s done is done it can’t be erased
So go on and face it
We could run run run, but its always there
Popping up in the side-eyed white lies breaking me down with a cold stare
But Love don’t grow in a garden of tears
And nobody wanna look back
On a book they wrote out of fear
Holding on to the pain of the past
It never gets easier believe me girl
But we can’t go back we can’t go back
No no no no we can’t go back
Moving on isn’t giving up
Giving in isn’t good enough
Moving on isn’t giving up
Giving in isn’t good enough
Moving on isn’t giving up
Giving in isn’t good enough
Moving on isn’t giving up
Giving in isn’t good enough
But Love don’t grow in a garden of tears
And nobody wanna look back
On a book they wrote out of fear
Holding on to the pain of the past
It never gets easier believe me girl
But we can’t go back we can’t go back
No no no no we can’t go back

Like a burning monk
My light flared out in the dark
You're my constant call to arms
Took the blindfold off then left chalk outlines where the future was
It's a goddamn war of attrition
It's a death by a thousand cuts
And if these motherfuckers made it to heaven
They burned the bridge when they got across

They're gathering anchors, they're gathering rope
You push into heaven all alone
They're grabbing your ankles, they won't let you go
The ebb and the distant flow
They're cutting your wings off
Built your ceilings out of stained glass

Well you cut like gravel in my skinned knee
The wound will close eventually
You'll stay as a reminder of how fucked this world can be
Held your funeral on a Tuesday
Holy waters, November cold
The kid who pulled the trigger
Knew too well, couldn't promise him hope

All these bastards are gathering rope
You push into heaven all alone
They're grabbing your ankles, they won't let you go
The ebb and the distant flow
They're cutting your wings off
Built your ceilings out of stained glass
They were cutting your wings off
I was staring at my idle hands
Maybe I could've done something
Maybe I could've made a difference

John Wayne with a God complex tells me to buy a gun
Like shooting a teenage kid is gonna solve any problems
Like it's an arms race, like death don't mean nothing
To know the heavy price of a living boy?

All Night Long

Common

Playlist: The Very Best of Common

2014

Uh yeah (come on) 
Every body come on uh
Yo yo (all night long) 

During divine hours I use mind power to refine 
Flower girls and make 'em feel like black pearls 
Get they minds off acrylic nails and the rap world 
It's a lot you can find in the lost black girl 
Made signs built in lodges, we be in garages 
Discussin' who we boned and who God is 
Pro-black like Craig Hodges with my dashikis in the cleaners 
I kick it for the Chevy riding head to backstreet leaners 

All (uh) night (yeah yeah what?)

He’s breakin
And its feelin like somethin'
I just can't talk about with you
He’s breakin
I’m breakin my back off, yeah
And it feels like I know that I just can't hang
He’s down
Barely scrapin' by
Wonderin' if the price is worth the cost
So down
Cuz I'm workin' my nuts off, yeah
It feels like I’m barely hangin' on
Wastin' all my time
Spendin' all my dough
Waitin' on my line
It's just the ebb and flow
Wastin' all my time
Spendin' all my dough
Waitin' on my line
So near
And it's feelin like somethin'
I just gotta push a little more
So near
That i can taste it
And it feels like I got to hang another day
Hang on
I gotta keep the faith
Knowin' that the ring will come around
Hang on
It's on the horizon
The sun that i ain't gazed upon in so long
Wastin' all my time
Spendin' all my dough
Waitin' on my line
It's just the ebb and flow
I’m in the waves
But i see the land
Just hold on
Till the tide turns
It's just the ebb and flow
And when it comes
I just know
I just know
That my time
That my time
Is gonna come
I’m in the waves
But i see the land
Just hold on
Till the tide turns
It's just the ebb and flow
It's just the ebb and flow
And when it comes
I just know
I just know
That my time
That my time
Is gonna come
It's just the ebb and flow
I’m in the waves
But i see the land
Just hold on
Till the tide turns
It's just the ebb and flow
It's just the ebb and flow
And when it comes
I just know
I just know
That my time
That my time
Is gonna come

She hits the dance floor
And starts to drop it low
Don't need no partner
She's a one woman show
She downs tequila
To feel the ebb and the flow
Watch her take off
There she goes

And she says
Hell yeah
Baby, that's my song
Play that kinda music
Play it all night long
I want it down and dirty
I wanna sing along
Oh, come on, come on 
Play me them dirty blues
Play me them dirty blues

She does a hip flip
And let's her backbone slip
A shimmy shimmy shake it
And a bump and dip
She'll get her freak on
Gonna steal the show
Watch her wind up
There she goes

And she says
Hell yeah
Baby, that's my song
Play that kinda music
Play it all night long
I want it down and dirty
I wanna sing along
Oh, come on, come on
Play me them dirty blues

She wants to change
That's what she tells her friends
But the booze and the blues 
Got straight to her head
They feed her demons
They soothe her soul 
Watch her now
There she goes

Oh, and she says
Hell yeah
Baby, that's my song
Play that kinda music
Play it all night long
I want it down and dirty
I wanna sing along
Oh, come on, come on
Play me them dirty blues
Hell yeah
Dirty blues
Hell yeah
Dirty blues
Hell yeah
Dirty blues

Although we both are leaving
It's not in separate ways
Because our paths will always cross
Though never in this place
Of course I'm going to miss you
Like water from our well
And the moon above the sighing trees
The scented woods as well
We just served out our notice and resigned
I'll keep this with mine
I'll keep this with mine

I remember walking up the muddy track
Relentless rhododendron rain
Drizzling down my back
A smile of wood smoke in the air
My slipping sliding step
One boot on and one boot off
Hopping whilst you slept
Ghostly washing flapping on the line
I'll keep this with mine
I'll keep this with mine

All the pictures, they are yours
All the records mine
A silent exit, no applause
To Jack's beanstalk pantomime
It's moments you remember
Not the constant ebb and flow
When that oak fell in the meadow
Or that sudden April snow
Some things just seem to happen out of time
I'll keep this with mine
I'll keep this with mine

You gathered autumn blackberries
That prick and stain the skin
But I'm tattooed by the seasons
That the woods have wrapped us in
The spell the trees cast on us
Might have turned into a curse
But we had the power to break it
So I guess it could be worse
Spring buds, already bursting on the vine
I'll keep this with mine
I'll keep this with mine

Pull the front door close
And amble up the slope
Abandon thoughts of failure
But never ever give up hope
With hindsight we predict the past
It's over like a spark
We squint to see in daylight
But it flashes in the dark
Still looking to the stars to give a sign
I'll keep them with mine
I'll keep this with mine

Ebb and flow
When I know then I don't
Where did it go
I can hold it for a moment
Then I'm gazing off on my phone
Where did it go
Ebb and flow
Is it me
Possibly
I just need space to breathe
Ebb and flow
You alone
The unknown
Without me
Without me
I don't know who to be
I can hear the rain drop
Falling from the rooftop of my home
Humming in the rain
Can't tell me what I can't see on my own
I think I can see you now
When do I know
Where did you go
Ebb and flow
I can feel a thread drop
Falling from my head down to my heart
Everything's the same from here
I can relate more to my art
I wish you could see me now
I think I found you

V1
I guess now it's safe to say
That I've been holding on for better days

These things aren't quite what they seem 
The cracks in my self-esteem 
I should have seen this all right from the start

PRE-CHORUS
I know
It's time to let it go and
I know
I've got to let this go 

CHORUS
Life never gets easier 
And I know
You can't fight the ebb and flow 
Or try to face it on your own 
Life never gets easier 
And I know
You can't fight the ebb and flow 
Or try to face it on your own 

V2
If wounds heal with time
Does this mean we're better off 
(we're better off)
(we're better off)
(we're better off)
We're better off alone?
