Jon - Lost in the Slowness lyrics

[JON] Afraid of moving on 'cause the feeling still stick Like glue on my fingertips that I can't rip off Without losing my prints See I need my identity but I'm taking some hints And I'm taking some hits Starting to lower my defense too quick Or hop the fence abandon ship Slipped on the edge now my knees all skinned Dipped in the d**h now my beat begins, and again See I made the same mistake ' round this time last year When I jumped ship only hit the pier Missed the water, missed the water now I really miss water There's no honor in swimming but I still can't bother And mother still dealing with having lost a father And splashing my feet only makes the offer hotter I swear I redefined stalker when I walked down the docks Checking in my things like I used to check stocks But on the edge of time I could only write rhymes Not warnings so in the morning I still feel fine Not knowing if the flow is a work of divine design And I slide into home what I thought was my home But it doesn't feel any better than the rest of the globe The best of all boats than the rest must at least float Must take me through the tropes, must have some hopes But life doesn't work that way, it's just too sloped I hope someday I find a friend to elope with We focus on the noises that come from the poems And the closest thing to fear we'd fear would be missing the bonuses The little doses of life that are hard to notice The little signs from God like the smoking bush to Moses We live our lives just lost in the slowness 'Cause we both stayed golden when our friend got stolen Snatched up we're broken, oceans we're rolling Waves staying wavy 'til the spots are open We had the same times, now the Times speaking the slogan That you gotta snatch what's frozen for the taking And what's spoken is a mistake, is too late, it's taken You gotta face the music when the music's playing Calling you for a dance the chance got you awakened Why we waiting wasting waning waxing moons the ground still rotating I'm saying when we stripped down naked to our barest bones All we are is whatever we are, it's amazing And that space is vacant if you missed every chance he created On this world oh just too damn captivating It's aggravating, it's aggravating We could be this too but you playing And I'm praying, and I'm praying: For a change from your intoxicating grasp Escaping your frustrating clasp I put all the anger in the raps because the love don't last Not much ever lasts, too long I just wish I had more time not to do it so wrong I did you so wrong, I coulda been better Instead stringing you along in this game You don't belong, it's the same old song It's gone And it's just Jon
