​shells Lyrics by ​atlas

skeletons

2016

[Verse 1]
I been watching time pass through the hourglass
And waking up to images that I can't seem to bypass, yeah
I used to cut class to smoke
But now I smoke any rapper and slice at them with a cutlass
And let me bust back and teach a reasonable lesson
On the best ways to cope with seasonal depression
See my breezy recollections came from reaching effervescence
And remembering my vices to repeat them level-headed
Think I need the devil's lettuce
Need to get my head straight
Think I need to sleep more
Need to drop some dead weight
Need to sea the seashore
Collect some more shells
And probably ditch the old ones
It's blessed with your smell
See I know what loneliness feels like
Believe me
Real life is easy
This reels like the TV
My heels might just lead me
To happier lands
But I can promise you I won't be going back on my plans

[Chorus]
I got Seattle to see
I got stubborn frowns to mend
I got happiness, b
And a couple thousand friends
I have had Lazarus sleep
Started ugly downward trends
And I've been battling speech
Watch it come around again
I got Seattle to see
I got stubborn frowns to mend
I got happiness, b
And a couple thousand friends
I have had Lazarus sleep
Started ugly downward trends
And I've been Patrick for weeks
I'm never shutting down again

[Outro]
I got Seattle to see
I got happiness, b
I have had Lazarus sleep
I've been battling speech
I got Seattle to see
I got happiness, b
I have had Lazarus sleep
And I've been Patrick for weeks
