Headlights off, this tunnel’s not a train of thought, can’t get lost
Touch the clock, punch the wall, words they talk don’t click at all
What you got playing ball, taking shots before the fall
Do it long enough you’ll stop, wonder how it went so wrong
This is your chance to see behind the lies the shit that flies
Everything’s an interruption to something else
You can’t take a break
You break yourself just to take another breath
And the next and the next
Then you do it all over again
Brake lights scream, tried to weave a history they won’t believe
What you feel can’t be unreal, they changed the beat to one and three
Headache sealed in bugs and trees, couldn’t read what’s unrevealed
Take the wheel where it leads, return to here, your space is free
You had a chance to see what lies behind unflinching eyes
Everything’s an interruption to something else
You can’t take a break
You break yourself just to take another breath
And the next and the next
Then you do it all over again
Every fraction counts
Build by small amounts
Dying lasts forever
Nothing lives in never
Do it long enough you’ll stop

The Truth

There’s a name for the way it smells after the rain
But I don’t remember what it means
There are shapes in the clouds above the lake
But I can’t see them anymore
Will we fall like paper off the wall
Then understand who we are
When I hesitate you can’t relate
But it doesn’t matter why
Say I’m not the one
We were only two
You were never five
Here I’m still alive
How is that the truth
There’s a tale, twisting, turning, where we learn how not to fail
But I don’t know how it goes
There are days when I still hear the rain
But I don’t remember
Say I’m not the one
We were only two
You were never five
Here I’m still alive
How is that the truth
Tell me we’ll be one
And you’ll be here, too
I’ll be five by five
I know it’s a lie
I’m sick of the truth
There’s a name for the way it smells after the rain
How is that the truth
I’m sick of the truth, I’m sick of the…

Our first conversation was an argument
Didn’t pay attention to how far you went
To offer proper proof, receipts and documents
I only cared for what I thought you meant
You said everything
You said everything you said
You said everything
You said everything you wanted
Our last argument was a conversation
A cool and calm, collected observation
Understanding our motivation
What matters most, the state of our nation
I heard everything
I heard everything you said
I heard everything
I heard everything you wanted
I used to run, but now we’re walking
I used to scream, but now we’re talking
I used to die, but now we’re waking
One day I’ll forgive how long I had taken
I heard everything you said
You said everything you wanted
You said everything you said
I heard everything you wanted

"Can You Find A Way" DELUXE (2023)
by Billy the Kid
supported by 5 fans who also own “After the Rain”
This album is amazing start to finish. Billy has such a way to capture and hold your attention. Hospital is an amazing personal story that hits you in the feels. And if you know you know, Take The Money, is an AMAZING (diss) track that just needs repeat listens to bask in the glory.
