Brainstorm (Single) by Gepetto

Lyrics:

soak streets as we mingle upon these instrumentals
the occurence of brainstorm is not coincidental/
i brought you here to lend an ear to hear the kid’s potential/
but also to quench the the thirst within you/

————

no need to (run) for the hills, plants sit on window sills and absorb/
golden rays, summer days, save this feeling for/
long nights in the dark, i know i’ve seen em before/
what i’m less prepared for, is light through open doors/

now i know how it feels, now i just want it more
the street gives birth to steam, from rain colder than war/
like water mixing with oil, i’ve got a turbulent core/
but i was put here to boil, thats how the steel is forged

but there’s a limit to the logic, consistency is needed
for me to finish the project/
the images i watch flicker for an instant, then... lost it
few and far between like the drip of a faucet/

that causes madness/ i only get inspired when i’m at work
and can’t write, my ideas are at risk/
like youth that never get a chance to be born/
when it rains it pours, ‘scuse me while i dance in the storm

-----

sand mixing with water i dip my feet in/
when you runnin from the world’s problems, you find the beach, quick/2
stare at that abyss for a bit, it seems welcoming, drowning in slow mo,
the sound of the sea sheltering me/4
i breathe helplessly, shallow like a tide pool/
yearning for the ultimate deep breath revival/6
with each step, they telling me that one set of prints shit/
you only get one life, that’s one set of prints bitch/8
on the tip of your fingers to be specific/
if you die now then say goodbye to wiggling digits/10
on drum pads, as a lad I madly defy physics/
no stolen credit card, my identity’s getting lifted/12
now shit’s a bit different i’m trying to find a new me/
usually defined myself by what i’m losing/14
now i redefine myself by what I’m choosing/
evaporate the pain but rain comes with the moodswing/16
don’t it/ it give birth to the opus, that brings focus
to the feelings and purpose to these moments/
you can see it in my face every time i perform/
if i seem calm, its cause i’m in the eye of the storm, c’mon/

——

the sign reads slippery when wet/
the slope’s a little steep for your perfectly measured half steps/
you gotta dive into something deeper than that, just
abandon all doubt, expand the walls out/tall order4
for the drawers of borders with bad boundaries/
habitual self sabotage that cause floundering/
in small ponds, we all make bonds in the wrong foundary/
sometime, cast in a mold of flawed alchemy/8 maybe,
but maybe we’re just wound up like crazy/
trapped in a labyrinth, the eye of the storm babies/10
only a single thread of my sanity for a savior,
follow it through the tunnels of deep embedded behaviors/12
and running ain’t get you nowhere but back on the first page and/
even if i skipped every crack on the earth’s pavement/14
I’d still be who I am, and that’s what the world made me/
so time to stop holding it and start raining/16

time to stop holding it in and start changing/
