I Am My Own Everything

from An Eli by Better Promises

about

It's kind of a weird story
I don't know where to start
So this Alien…
You know when like something just jumps out at you, something just hits you as like, you try to spit it all over the sky?
It started when the lizard was crawling down the inside of my face
I started seeing all these layers and numbers and patterns on the surface of my skin and I was trying to decipher and figure it out
I guess it, well, It starts before that
It probably starts with waking up with a piece of star in my chin
and that whenever I touch it , if I concentrate and let my ego go…
I guess it well, It starts before that

You don't have to believe me
It probably starts with waking up with a piece of star in my chin and that whenever I touch it if I concentrate outside of all logic and I focus
You are your own god your own everything
I can go into the future
I can see what's going to happen in small glimpses
I mean you don't have to believe me
I can cheat a little bit of my future
and spit it all over the sky
into the stars, to prophesy
I go on these late night walks
and then outside of all logic,
let the future drip down onto me
Fulfill your own prophecy
You are your own everything
And when I hold my chin
I hold a star
