Bliss n Eso, Ethic - Headless Princess lyrics

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 await's 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
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

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

"Nah, that's oblivious, don't get involved
She's known to hold the dice of
Life and let it roll"

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

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
