Headless Princess

[Verse One: Bliss] One breath As I sit and smell the flowers, the berries, the very fern that will Excrete this aroma as I sit at the ferry terminal With the sky above, my eye moved towards it I soaked up an image, freeze-framed the portrait An instant, turned into an ocean of eternity It's Vincent, filled with this emotion that is burning me For what I saw before me needs no explanation She just riveted my lungs, there was no exhalation So many questions darted through my frozen, pondering mind My interest had arisen from her fondling spines And I must confess, that I am so impressed With the way she strides and the way she sighs And the way she glides with those dreamers eyes It's more than just a term that lies between her thighs And through these beer bottle flavours in my life I see clear what can neighbour with my slice of bliss The dormant evil that awaits in the grunge Only to emerge after you have taken the plunge And I don't understand how a serpent has a heart While I'm just a man, a merchant with his cart And all I wanna do is barter a mere couple of phrases I admit this is the clear trouble with gazes To decode this combination, she's the glitch in my system From chaos to what is simple, it's the hitch of encryption It's the pursuit of the chase, it's the fun of the catch To find that beautiful face, that lies under the latch When you unlock the mystery, below undercover You see the simple beauty in just getting to know one another It's like my motor, she can just soothe cool But only a few fools, would ever risk it and look into those pupils So I pluck my vocal chords, so I can sing to this butterfly But I can't utter my thoughts, and they reverse to see her flutter by [Hook:] Feel it in your chest, feel it in your heart I need a place to lay, I need a place to start If this ain't it, you've been lying all along Cause the path you laid girl, it only made me strong Cause I was once a seed that needed, loving from the seasons feeded Off your stream that's bleedin' treason, now I'm a tree breathing freedom On my bank but you burnt those bridges So now I stare across at you pile of bitches [Verse Two: Eso] Bars, pubs, clubs Freak-nicks, drenched in vampires blood But wait, she looks like a nice girl, I'd like to meet her She seems a little lost though, I'll try and reach her [Ethic] "Nah, that's oblivious, don't get involved She's known to hold the dice of life and let it roll" [Eso] Oh, I see, a bit of a gambler I'll grab my cape and a bag of convo', I think I can handle her There's stories that she owns a red light to tell the time I'm ready to judge a book from the inside as well as mine So excuse me miss, as rude as this is I'd like you to take this tape I made, cause my crews on some shit And we hit the coffee shop, she's singin' lullabies We should probably stop, I don't wanna get played like those other guys That's why this mix tape, is for you to borrow And if you dig this shit here's my number, call me tomorrow And as the sun fell, and the moon climbed She went home, locked herself in her room, only to soon find That music can manipulate your mind state And if you use it as a wish it'll find ways To blow out all the candles and know How to handle your mind, hitch hiking near my place Her night was a highlight, listening close was not what she'd usually do Her ceiling was a skyline with a beautiful view There's the vision and the truth from the booth See girl I told you what this motherfucking music would do The next day she was happy as hell Skipping down the block, now she's back to herself Anyone could naturally tell she's no longer trapped in a well And the music in her mind, fool, had actually helped But all it took was a taste To see those "get-money" motherfuckers dangling dollars in her face You punks don't know me or my eerie feel I learnt rhythm from ghosts tapping on the steering wheel Every car ride, was like a start I've got, art in my heart Girl and there seems to be no light left, my soul is on empty I'm running out of love, I'm running out of mud Send me another note, some energised words of wisdom Let me go, to a place of isolated vision But I'm steering this boat to uncharted lands We need to understand, that one part of man It three parts of the devil thinking why I can't make this boiling water settle A dog alone in his kennel Oh but wait, you see it's just a dead end That headless princess could've been your fuckin best friend Unsettled by the fact they don't see the good times Blind as bats to the future they could find But it never really does, cease to amaze me Why I scream fuck swamp donkeys and peace to the ladies Cause money is a hypnotist they're dazzled by the lavish shit You wanna give me a blow job, I'll act like I have to piss I'm no brick wall, you wanna leave, grab your shit But don't come back in my life, like yo let's have a kiss If only through my eyes you could see the shit But you can't, oblivious, so go ahead beat it bitch [Hook] [Verse Three: Ethic] Alright now, this is the breakdown, here is the setting Alive for 24 years and already forgetting What it felt like to be, one-half of her and me Until forcibly, I'll return to twenty-three Never have met, I didn't ever expect To have crept into a situation I never will let Be something I've left when I leave, quiet as kept While the sea parts, the beast starts to speak hearts I see an artful approach to convey what I wrote A thousand times, in my mind with the hope That for once, people don't just come and go Yeah, I know that I'm supposed To fly away, in a sunset serenade While tomorrow cherishes the memory of today I stay hollow, this time my back wasn't exposed To the passing of someone I never would know I never would grow, despite the cost And at the end of the day, I've come to love the loss And on the off chance that she falls again I'm walking backwards so she still knows who I am [Hook x2]
