Transplants

Transplants - One Seventeen lyrics

[Chorus:]

Mooo baby

We can make it happen

Make it through baby

All we need to do is begin rejuvenating

Keep it all in focus and pursue it faithfully

Do it patiently

Just the way the sea's been this evening

I came out at eight, was leaning on the railing

I kept hearing the waves crashin' beneath me

Back and forth

They just rephrased what they were saying

Over and over, doing that repeatedly

They'd crash and come back

Its just a constant thing

Every time they'd back out to sea

Its like they'd draw just a little more out of me

A lot of images and feelings

Just a limitless release

And I began to reminisce freely

It was a cinema

Featuring me and a cast of emotions

That demanded my attention immediately

I had previously put them on hold

On the back burner since earlier

I didn't want to deal with it

At that time I felt like other things were pertinent

Now I see its permanent unless I get real with it

And it ain't that I don't love to tussle

Especially mentally

'Cause I generally do win

Might not win at first, but definitely eventually

'Cause I ain't never not been a shoe-in since birth

But now, this is special though

See, this is beyond my threshold

I'm accustomed to just a conventional struggle

With two opponents

Only here the tussle's between you and the truth

So ultimately I'm gonna lose

Actually I gain though

I gotta be honest with myself, or else

I impede my personal progress

I think it's better to be depressed for a minute

Admit it, and get re-oriented

Instead of being a bitter cynic isn't it?

[Chorus]

I'm getting older

Everybody around me acts all sober

Lookin' poker faced

I started losing hair at the corners

Matter-of-fact, I looked up top

That whole border's jacked

Nobody's gonna chauffeur me anymore

Whatever this is, we all go through it I guess

It's just awkward

I'm not a hundred percent comfortable with

The rate that everything's developing at

It's just a little overwhelming at times

I'm dealing with hella shit to process

It's new data daily

There's really no preparing for this thing

Or, maybe it's mainly just me acting strangely

Just me facing the challenge

I doubt it though

'Cause I met thousands of people

Seen something similar in their faces

It's like the outlook is changing

I think it's called bein' a man in the making

It's burnt, I like pralines now

Long walks solo, where I can sort my thoughts out

Just what I've been taught to date

It doesn't gel well with the way that I've been feeling these days

That's coming from a ton of angles, hella places

I'm really not trying to make a political statement

But just in terms of internally inside

I'm at an interval in life where it's a turbulent time

And I could pretend that it's all good

And that I shouldn't put so much on it

Let it sit and just settle itself

Stop acting all sobby and sentimental

Besides everything's perfectly fine

But here I am on this balcony

With my thoughts just traveling randomly on some tangent And in the back of my mind

I keep hearing this lady

Her voice is beautiful, she keeps saying

Mooo baby

We can make it happen

Make it through baby

All we need to do is begin rejuvenating

Keep it all in focus and pursue it faithfully

Do it patiently
