I once knew a man who could sing like thunder
He shared his wisdom and he showed his concern
A mentor of mine and I, his bright pupil
He taught a lot of lessons that I would find useful
He saw promise, he demonstrated clarity
He got a new job and moved to Barre with his family
We fell outta touch and to this day I can’t believe
I heard the news but was too self-consumed to see the severity
So there I sat, thinking ‘bout what I lost
As that pastor yapped on about lords and gods
And that’s fine- cause he was religious, he woulda’ wanted it
But I would rather talk about my friend and his accomplishments
And what he taught us kids and what he meant to us
Why should we limit what we can discuss?
I miss the man but his memory lives on
We can chop it up again when I, too, become part of the-
Cool water
Cold soil x2
Why should I fear? What should I be afraid of?
Everything you see here is made up of the same stuff
Break me down to atoms and I’m back to Earth
The natural path of what happens after birth
The massive burst that created this globe
It coulda’ been divinity but we ain’t got no way to know so-
I let my soul glow to the best of my ability
And try not to let silly idiocy get to me
I really feel content with however this tale ends
As long as at the tail end, I have fam and friends
But hey, if that ain’t the case- so be it
The serenity and solace of solitude can be freeing
I’ll leave them with memories of good times shared
Cause if there ain’t an afterlife, I’ll survive right there
And that’s beautiful, at least to me that’s art
Hold me in your heart as I go back and become part of the-
Cool water
Cold soil x2
There it goes
There it, there it, there it goes x4
It's been only a year since I heard Deca on a random chance on a shuffle recommendation. Within that year, Deca rose up the ranks of one of the best lyricists I've heard. The body of art within each project isn't something one can digest in one play through. I actually find it difficult to put a fav on a playlist without needing to revisit an album in its entirety. As a listener and fan of your music, thanks for all you create and share with us. damoclesnuka
Every single time I'm like, "He can't possibly get better than the last album." Every single time, I'm dead wrong. Super surprised to see that it was mastered right up Wadsworth from my old spot in Lakewood. 𝕍 𝕚 𝕣 𝕘 𝕠 ♕ 𝕍 𝕒 𝕟 𝕕 𝕒 𝕝
