V1: The Elephant in the sea, he learns to breathe. Stomping upon the ocean floor, to rigmarole. He never will forget, that life he left. Blindly shuffling in the depths of regret. Chorus 1: To forget, what you meant. Learn to breathe in the sea. The fortress is falling down. Does it even make a sound? If there’s nobody else around does it hit the ground oh does it hit the ground? Verse 2 (rap): Sinking to the very deep I barely even recognise this man in the mirror, the mind over energized. Heading right to the courts today to try to feel alright it’s stealing time taking these cookies like they were tethered to mine. I find myself cutting straight through the painty pine, slashing so sharp I think ya’ll just got circumcised. Nevermind, I got blocked out. I think I’ll clock out. It’s better if I rock out alone with my pizza pie. But I think it’s better to fly up in the air over everywhere and stare or just close my eyes and glide. Because I’m nowhere too which is where I want to be instead of out of place, stomping like an elephant in the sea. Tryna say three but saying four. Abhorrently bored but feeling floored like concrete poured. So what’s in store but rigamortis or more tests of how to undress this foul fortress. Sax solo: Verse 3: The Elephant in the sea, he cries of grief. Stomping upon the ocean floor, to rigmarole. He never will forget, that life he left. Blindly shuffling in the depths of regret. Chorus: The fortress is falling down. Does it even make a sound? If there’s nobody else around does it hit the ground oh does it hit the ground? The fortress has disappeared. Ears can’t see what eyes can’t hear. Learn to breathe in the sea. But are you way too deep? Refrain: Yea are you way too deep? Are you way too deep?

Out the City 05:33
Chorus: Diving down into that great pacific monolithic sheen I’m finding that it’s hard to breathe from salty frozen ocean squeeze. If it’s only that I want to feel so easy, still at peace. Rolling way out of the city, really fills me with belief. Out today, cellphones are away. And it’s we by the sea. Splashing sparkling beams. Finally we’re finding every reason to unwind and it’s so fucking sublime. Chorus: Diving down into that great pacific monolithic sheen I’m finding that it’s hard to breathe from salty frozen ocean squeeze. If it’s only that I want to feel so easy, still at peace. Rolling way out of the city, really fills me with belief. Two days, seems to be the time it takes to forget. All that bullship swimming in my head. Awaken to a chilly morning tent and I’m so fucking content. Every road and every wind. Every peak along the drive. Scars and potholes left behind are gone. Every rush of summer air. Every fall from camping chair. Every pit thick with despair moves on. Chorus: Diving down into that great pacific monolithic sheen I’m finding that it’s hard to breathe from salty frozen ocean squeeze. If it’s only that I want to feel so easy, still at peace. Rolling way out of the city, really fills me with belief.

Say It 05:45
Future Plans and memories, crash together on the street. Intersections of my mind, they are so backed up that I can’t unwind. Every word I hear it say comes to be from outer space. It sure don’t come from here and now. In this gridlock spewing out what they say. Say what they say, I’ll breathe. Say what they say, Say what they say, I’ll breathe. Soaring diving rise and fall. I’m feeling like that painting on the wall. Summer smells arrive with me. I ask would you so kindly leave me be. Just today. Say what they say, I’ll breathe. Say what they say, Say what they say, I’ll breathe. Guitar solo. Say what they say, I’ll breathe. Say what they say, Say what they say, I’ll breathe. Say what they say, I’ll breathe. Say what they say, Say what they say, I’ll breathe.

Borderless 05:47
With an open mind she speaks about a world that’s free of borders. Verve and passion meet inside her vision of a world. You’re inspired and you’re in tune. You’re aware but keep your smile. Are there words for me of how to be like you? As her wisdom fills the room, I hear a revolutionary. Selflessly I stare into her energy so true. Are there words for me of how to be like you?
