Passing Fancies - Jonwayne

But these indigenous rhymes are way beyond time

I feel my heart stop and start up

Within the same breath I could depart us

And if I go quietly, then I’m smiling (may be passing fancies)

But let’s make noise miles before then

Days wasted will contribute to your rapture

Strapped with 10 years plus a day for every heart I capture

Crowds are asking if I latch the truth to my masters (may be passing fancies)

And the truth is I live for every lyric I can master

Let the waves crash, ears feel erosion

I’m a locomotive moving with the motion of the ocean

While my foundation thins out, everything is in-house (may be passing fancies)

This ain’t Monopoly but I’ll change the game

Make amendments to the name, take the dollars then I’ll dip out

These words diminish scriptures kiss tradition goodbye

Risking hope for the coax of a whisk in the sky with these

Passing Fancies

You know these things will never keep in the rain

Got the Neptune Blues everything is a game

Just make sure to stay sane

Don’t get caught Up

(may be passing fancies) (yeah)

You know these things will never keep in the rain

Got the Neptune Blues everything is a game

Just make sure to stay sane

Don’t get caught Up

(may be passing fancies) (yeah)

You know these things will never keep in the rain

Got the Neptune Blues everything is a game

Just make sure to stay sane

Don’t get caught Up

(may be passing fancies)

Shout outs to the old guy at the shell station

For letting me keep his pen

So I could write these verses tonight

Much love

(Passing fancies)

I’m feeling black holes pulling at my skull

They say I’m morbid but I still have control

A moment never dull, got a whole lot of enemies here

But none are serious to try to breach the hull (may be passing fancies)

My voice lights and nullifies the skies from this gravity

A craft that I’ll happily describe sans vanity

Everything is after the fact

I’ve never lived a day in my life without asking for it back (may be passing

fancies)

Time is short if you stay foolish

Choose the wrong crew and you’ll be met on the moon with too few tulips

Blue as Neptune and still clueless yet I shoot for the stars and the shoe fits

(may be passing fancies)

A boy doesn’t stand a chance amidst misdemeanours and vicious christenings

Like it’s one or the other, middle ground would never sit with these

«Sometimes I wish I could forget to leave them breathless,» said Death

Restless souls resting on his necklace (passing fancies)

Bench-pressing purgatory, heaven in the stretches

Coals burn my feet, leaving hell in the trenches

Swag like Dante (never thought I’d say that, but sometimes words are just

things for you to take back) (may be passing fancies)

Look back to see if you can Mend a few bridges

Only to keep yourself from on the bend of two hinges

It it it, somehow avoids my ability to understand

How people look all over for answers, you know?

(may be passing fancies)

They look all over the place for answers and

They don’t even stop to think, «Jee,» you know?

«why don’t I just ask the kid

what’s happening?», you know?

«Why don’t I sit down and say hey, how come you’re doing this?»

(this this this

this)
