Parallels lyrics
by Chino XL
[Verse 1: Jesse Abraham]
When I picture gardens
All I see is squares
I ain’t the maddest son
Cuz tragedy impaired
My ability to hurt
And pain makes power
I grew up on a roof across the street from burnin towers
Now it's flowers that I see
On the ground in devotion
Can't stop to smell the roses
Not since my nose is broken
I ain’t close to jokin
This ain’t no bogus moment
I don't need some hocus pocus
Give a f*ck about opponents
On this road I am the quotient
The vision I got is potent
Good riddance to my atonement
Arrogance would write an opus
But I’m not I’m writin this
I am just a rodent deserting a sinking ship
The water is a bonus
Now the liquid is ubiquitous
I’m drowning as I’m floatin
So my mission is duplicitous
My instrument’s the ocean
My attitude is parallel to carousels
Reeling round, feelin grounded on a parasail
