Ascension Lyrics by JJ Shadow

I Still Can’t Afford Therapy!

2023

I was sitting in the back of a taxi
Late night out and no trains that go past 3
Lady asks me where I’m heading at
I say that I’m going home where I roam in the galaxy
She looks back and says “no roads can take you there
You’re like a rainbow running from the morning air”
I found love in the light where the dark was
Uenuku Atua Princess Kaguya
That’s who I feel like, who I once was
Roadrunner still tryna find my own buzz
Cuts in my soul stares back with alarm
All patched up with these rags buttons gingham and yarn
Wear my heart like an armour and still I feel
I’ve no courage like Fleetwood Coupe DeVille
But I’ll still chase stardust til the day I diе
A young one in my heart from the bottom I risе
Cause I’m a
Young Fisher King
Waltz through every train station chasing little things
I’m a fool I’m a thief but with empathy
I live my truth within a thousand little symphonies
You know it’s meant to be
Heavenly
I don’t know what’s next
So it’s up I keep my head as the sky turns red
47 on my chest
Dollar days, 25 breaths
Tail to neck
Bluebird flying to death
But give it all away I can’t
So here I’ve gotta stay til the night goes dark
But even if you still aren’t ready for the light
This strictly 4 my spirits who got lost in the night
I moonwalk with fairies they help me see truth
For mum nan and Poppa I'm still pushing thru
I’m surrounded by spirits I hope they gon hear this
And then I can share it from us onto you
Truth

When you hear it in your spirit let it go
I could feel you in the air I start to float
I was falling through the sky I can’t pretend
If I see you again
To the sky
I will ascend
Yeah
You gon watch me ascend
Yeah
You know we gon ascend
Ascend
You know we’ll all ascend
Yeah
