Well is that cloud painted on the sky?
Or is it simply where the canvas is blank?

I realize as I stand at the banks
Of the river at the feet of the city
Where I can see the bigger picture

And it triggers something deep within me
Philly
That would be the backdrop

Home to a million little cafes
With lattes and laptops
And that's when I noticed it

People only seem to leave their homes
To float in daydreams and postpone the loneliness


But sunshine don't mean sunburn
And a stone is only a stone if you're gonna leave them unturned
Some learn just a little quicker than others

You've gotta live like you never knew the definition of it
And sunshine don't mean sunburn
But a stone is only a stone if you're gonna leave them unturned

Some learn just a little quicker than others
You've gotta love like you never knew the definition of it


I met a girl at the Jersey Shore
That wore clip on earrings and stumbled in high heels
And no I wasn't sober when she tapped me on the shoulder

But I told her that I thought her smile wasn't quite real
And it must have been the drinks
Cause I ain't that smooth

Well it could have been the ink
She had a few tattoos
But dude it's hard to find a woman at a cover band bar

That prefers a conversation to another man's car
On the real
And maybe all she wanted was a cigarette

Or may she was just a shadow in my drunk dream
She gave a name and a number that wasn't hers
Said we all got a shadow moonlighting as a sunbeam


They tell me sleep is the cousin of death
So I would guess that a dream is the daughter of sleep

Sometimes I wonder whether Witness even exists
Or if it's just a dream that was caught in the beat
They're like kid, you got it going on

Tell me that my flow is strong
Now I'm in the ba!@&(t til the break of dawn
Making songs

Seeking validation from the Hip Hop heads
Like the praise and adulation is the only thing I got left
But on the surface the water appears still

Unaffected by the children skipping stones on it's skin
Sometimes I bet it wishes it could just disappear
Like a feather in the city being blown by the wind


We all wanna disappear sometimes
But we wake up every morning just in case that sun shines
