The Port Lyrics by JC the Imperial

METAMORPHOSIS

2021

I’m on a winding road but don’t know where it goes
I put aside my foes and fell back in control
Birds chirping, girl searching
Words churning while the world’s burning
Took a train and an automotive just to train for a higher motive
Abstain from prior moments
Reshape my life’s purpose - Is it about you or is it about me
Not so delicate when you’re only a predicate
And along my journey I’ve found peace of mind
How would I differ were I not drowning in Eastern Time
Greeting people overly eager feels like a crime
Keep retreating, it’s just fine. I don’t need you - you need I’s
People pleasers please rewind. See how deep you feel inside
Hear how loud you seek to cry. Beam it out til' it feels right
And if we’re stuck in simulation til' the end of time
That means your legacy’s not left behind
I built a fort right by the port with many more comin’
Still living life trapped at the fork – what do I have in store comin’
Why does it bother you that I found solitude? Then it all fades away
I’m gonna sleep in Port Jefferson today
I identified a watershed while lying on a waterbed
Saw the skies arriving overhead
And tried to find a cloud but there was no one left
Am I alone inside my head? Will I know when my time will end
We measure success by just how much the wallet bends
Large groups of hollow friends: here I come stumbling in
Like the worst version of a homonym praying I’ve got the upper hand
I am not in demand but I don’t give a damn
The hurricane hoped that it could deter me
With clothes soaked I put on a new jersey
And with no hope, this thing isn’t no joke
I was at the north fork trying to learn who heard me
Is it just a number when you turn thirty
Is it still a summer if you’re not thirsty
I’m just floating
Yeah, I’m here floating
I built a fort right by the port with many more comin’
Still living life trapped at the fork – what do I have in store comin’
Why does it bother you that I found solitude? Then it all fades away
I’m gonna sleep in Port Jefferson today
The best person in the world isn’t me
Something that’s difficult to see for me visually
I can’t come to terms with it – it puts me back in disbelief
Rather than feeling good for others it just gives me grief
It’s like a reciprocity – in this new city
Only listen to what people preach if it’s in a speech
There are millions out there – an infantry in infancy
Think of what I give to the world and not what it gives me
So instantly, an instant theme instances me
The recipe instilled in me is a distillery
I couldn’t find the solves for mysteries or iffy schemes
Thinking of giving up like pillories vs. Byzantines
I just needed a place to clear my head from messy streaks
Always thinking of things statistically was killing me – ugh
Initially thinking of sadistically intrinsic feats
And then I was within the beach - peace
I will be stronger than this
I don’t need to plead the fifth
I will not wait to exist
‘Cause this is the life that I’m gonna get
