Part One

"Ivory" off of Akira La Ocean's album 'Late Bloomer' (Release date TBA)

I keep calling and calling but I'm getting no answer

July 22nd

Color me cancer

I'm waiting for a message

Make my day go by faster

Waiting for that message

Make my days go by faster

Hidden away from the summer heat

You needed a break, I needed to stray

Heavy with feeling this exhausted mentality

I'm finally

Putting it all on tape

Reassured I'd be back, I will be back

Mutual agreement from both ends of the story

And now you retract, now you retract

Retracing my steps, now where are we at?

I get lost in your stare, consumed by the flare

It's those dark brown eyes and that long brown hair

Ivory undertones, voice gentle with care

To me you were something so rare

You come from within the "mountain in the cloud"

Oh! I like the way that sounds

Gold plated, platinum style, silver like the sound

Of your name, sound of your name

Woodland, forest- let's go for a ride

Connect the dots, tired of being sublime

Nothing but love, now does it translate

Or is it too late, or is it too late?

I keep calling and calling but I'm getting no answer

July 22nd

Color me cancer

I'm waiting for a message

Make my day go by faster

Waiting for that message

Make my days go by faster

Even I don't know what lies in the crevices of my mind. I once found $20 floating among the waves at an LA beach. That was exciting.
