WILLIAM BLUE
You ever miss someone so much that
You just see them everywhere?
Saw you on Sunset 'cept she wasn't you
Old feelings bubbled to the surface
Like Mountain Dew
Yeah, last name Blue
But I ain't got the first clue
You're a "Mystery Machine"
And I'm Scooby-Doo
So unmask these feelings
Like you always do
Is what I'm feeling pretty much
Just what I felt for you?
Yeah tell me what I feel just can't be true
Might fuck around and believe you too
Is it all up in my head or do you feel it too?
If these words reach your ears
Maybe this time you'll hear 'em through
At least verses one and two
No grapevines this time
Just some gin and juice and
Honest truth from me to you
On this "Dilla beat" PME produced
Might cruise around, write an LP
Just to think shit through
Like how you asked me what else
This silver tongue might do
'Cause it moonlights as a killer
On the mic like I run the jewels
Like I'm Knuckles in this bitch
And the world is Rouge
Chaotic in the dome
Supersonic in the booth
Might fuck around and
Write a song 'bout you
Then deepfake these feelings with
Some autotune
Then deepfake these feelings with
Some autotune
Let's go again
Let's go again
Let's go again
Saw you on Sunset 'cept she wasn't you
Old feelings bubbled to the surface
Like Mountain Dew
Yeah, last name Blue
But I ain't got the first clue
You're a "Mystery Machine"
And I'm Scooby-Doo
So unmask these feelings
Like you always do
Is what I'm feeling pretty much
Just what I felt for you?
Yeah tell me what I feel just can't be true
Might fuck around and believe you too
We danced for lifetimes in your living room
Died a little in each others' arms
Like we were Cutting Crew
At least once or twice
Every song or two
We only stopped for smokes, dranks
Bathroom
Breakdowns and
Breakthroughs
Babe, we've been through it all
This love ain't nothing new
This road ain't nothing new
'Cause I found it on Sunset with another you
'Cept she wasn't you
She just wasn't you
She just wasn't you
She just wasn't you
Let's go again
Let's go again
Let's go again
Let's take it from the top and begin again
I'll do better this time
I've been practicing
How to be a better man
Than past me was and you deserve it
After what that fucker did to us
Damn
Might be the third person
To remind you that
He didn't know what he had
When he was holding you
But now he do
I swear I got it through
This thick skull of mine
Lobotomized every part of me
That was bad for you
Immune to Asian flush
But how'd I get so blue?
Maybe I'm just a moonroof atop
A '08 Honda Civic
Waiting for a crack
Of sunlight to
Shine through it
Tryna photosynthesize the next time
You'll look me in my eyes and then
Straight right through 'em
Instead of through a camera lens
Or old viddies of us doing donuts on
Sunset in a gold-plated Mercedes-Benz
Or was it a DeLorean?
Doesn't matter
Just take my word for it
That I mean every word of this
Even if I can't remember
Any of it
Saw you on Sunset 'cept she wasn't you
Old feelings bubbled to the surface
Like Mountain Dew
Yeah, last name Blue
But I ain't got the first clue
You're a "Mystery Machine"
And I'm Scooby-Doo
So unmask these feelings
Like you always do
Is what I'm feeling pretty much
Just what I felt for you?
Yeah tell me what I feel just can't be true
Might fuck around and believe you too
People lose themselves and find
Themselves here, in cycles and spirals
In every boulevard, and every street corner
Sweet dreams are made of this bullshit

Terra Incognita is the upcoming debut novel by Canadian writer Jonah Angeles.
The story centers around special agent Parker Shiro, who is tasked with the undercover investigation of Aurum City, an isolated “smart city” located in the Californian desert — blocked off from the world by four gold walls and an artificial sky.
When an extraction mission goes wrong, Parker must find his own way back to the outside world, all while navigating an uprising that threatens to swallow the city up whole.
