Cause even when the drama begins
Yo that problem ain't a problem, that's it
I wanna live
Wake up, open my eyes, I stretch, I breathe
I get fresh, write a few words, that's best to me
The coffee breath sets the perspective, let's see
What I can formulate with the day or just Swede
I just need a thread to progress and just leave
The sourness of yesterday, when I was too stressed to play
The f'in game, toiled away, day
Claimed my sweat, became upset
Unhappy with what the effort gave and left
Wondered what became of Sketch Shit mayne I ain't done yet
Got a grip and reclaimed my sweat, gotta spit
Set aflame my steps, so when I dance it'll blaze my trek
And always see where I came from, yet
I press on, my best forms the get going
With lessons, what's next, calm for next storm
Cause calm and deep breaths fuel the clarity
The air beneath propels growth and dexterity
Apparently, the world don't care for these
Dreams, no merit speaks candidly, can it be
Tomorrow thoughts, gotta give way to tomorrow plans, claro que si
See the dollar leave hollow hands
Damned if I don't work on it
And if I serve wallet then I
Can command anxiety
And achieve some pliancy
Piety, I can be full of life like
some die to be
Irony, no
Trying me, grow
Don't go quietly
Eyes on me, as I keep
Rising, peaks lie beneath
Try to reach what I've never touched
Owen got me focused
Deto got me going for broke
And I'm already broke
So fuck it
Wake Open Eyes Breathe
Wake Open Eyes Breathe
Take couple steps, weight on your chest leaves
Wake Open Eyes Breathe
Wake Open Eyes Breathe
Take couple steps, weight on your chest leaves
Wake Open Eyes Breathe
Cause even when the drama begins
Yo that problem ain't a problem, that's it
I wanna live
Cause even when the drama begins
Yo that problem ain't a problem, that's it
I wanna live

Sometimes you come across an artist that is compelled to do what they do.
I appreciate the musicality and the arrangement and the artistry of the songs. He sings and plays like his life depends on it. I appreciate the humanity of the lyrics… Like reading Tortilla Flats, or watching Nobody’s Fool.
Ceschi is a bright star. I’m glad he’s loose in the world. oldtruck
