8 - Nothing But Sunlight

(Donnie Ozone’s verse)

spiderweb crack cast a shadow on the dashboard

I can only fast forward like an 8 track

got the cachet but i’m passe

so what’s the act for?

outrun time – summer sunshine

backdrop to the frontline

something to unwind – first things first

down to earth like a landmine set for the stepping

you want a weapon – for defending what?

a perception of self? a self deception?

a chance at redemption? a rhetorical question

just a groove on lock for the latchkey kid like the past me

rolled out – never looked back, g

found my way to a spot I could rock more

didn’t need to lock doors anymore

steady your head – I keep it heavier

carry forth – y’all wonder what i’m heading for

the focal point is the vocal tone

I broke the code of the open road

and ain’t no going home, but i’m cool with it

got a heart of stone – don’t fool with it

come fast, run past, pump gas

crunchy-ass handclaps like I punch glass

(Donnie Ozone’s verse)

the past is a faded image through the glare of a lensflare

long gone but I been there and I hold it dear

gotta roll through here – gotta work til my soul is clear

and it becomes the lens the bass hums in

mixed with wind – herb smoke in your lungs and

windows down – squinting now

shades on – sprinting out – the song plays now

in the noonday – got the throughway

don’t give a fuck about what you or your crew say

iridescent wings in desert wind

burner type colors never seen – never dim

who I was – remember him?

present a front – I never did

grip the wheel with the leather trim

the swordsman turns up to serve up the severed limbs

blades in blurs, arcs and crescents

waves of bass disperse in evanescence

I ain’t fucking with no “coulda been”

staying in the moment that i’m moving in and i’m playing in

carve a path on the page of an atlas

steady flow – ain’t gotta be fastest

keep my engine tuned so it run right

another one done right – nothing but sunlight
