about

Yo this song is about waves. The ups and downs. It was recorded in June, 2011.

It's kind of the "exclusive" track if you buy the physical copy because you can't download it on here.

lyrics

shoulda been runnin by now

imaginary brain, you brought about the change
the melodies trapped in my head, no longer remain
imaginary time, you brought me down the line
the melodies lost in my head, are now easy to find

i've seen, the way, they're losing all their rest
but all i do is sleep all day
evil eyes are headed west
and they got something to say
and I, can't turn into the weak
when my involvement cleared the way
coastal lines became the sea
and now the town hall is nothing but the bay bay bay bay bay bay bay bay bay bay bay bay

shoulda been runnin by now

some on the island say they'd never be afraid
if it weren't for the waves
they'd never close up shop, never lose their pay
if it weren't for the waves
though they could see the future, still they'd celebrate
if it weren't for the waves
you could forget all your wrongs, you could ignore a long day
if it weren't for the waves

the way they swing their arms so free....
and i don't have the time to crawl out of this hole i dug so deep,
it isn't a hole at all
everything that you create inside your head will eventually come alive and eat your brain
and take away your mind, then move on down the line
