lyrics
(Verse 1)
So many games
Same old aim
Not a Household name
Just Molten flames
got art on my neck don't need a gold chain
Its hard to be smart when you don't really brain
Im watching the star while they do cocaine
Do you. I'll do me. No need to complain
Just keep it real and I'll keep it the same
Im at the wheel but I, swerving with the waves
Channeling my inner zen
Battling myself like - fuck it if I ever win again
Strategize my escape
And Fabricate new dimensions in the shape of A better friend
Cannabis to calm the vibe
Im content in my mind - I don't need Another high
My dreamscapes are wallet sized
Take a Dive and ride the wave til you crash and burn alive
(Hook)
Follow
I Follow
I Follow
I Follow
(Verse 2)
Heart still beats in a boom bap loop
Cant record Only time in a Bad mood
Your looking kinda sad Like a day two tattoo
Maybe take a stab at some new taboos
I'd have no complaints
If I was rich enough to
buy a time machine
and go mix shit up
I'd have no regrets
If I died in a gun battle
Defending the honor
of my love and my castle
Im pretty open to the concept of
Blaming your god for the things I cant blame on myself
But if being honest then I better come to terms with the reason
I don't believe in hell
Im just Looking for an easy sell
Talking sports with spirits the ouija dealt
Im tinfoil in a microwave all spark no bite wish me well
(Hook)
I just follow my instincts down to the t-shirt I don't wanna wear
Follow
I Follow
I Follow
I Follow
Another day another rabbit hole but I don't really care
Follow
I Follow
I Follow
I Follow
I just follow my instincts down to the t-shirt I don't wanna wear
Another day another rabbit hole but I don't really care
(Verse 3)
Im all about that run around the town without a plan shit
looks great on paper but disastrous in practice
I never planned to plant the tree that grew to shade my chances
Luck is just the bi product of showing up to canvas
I tried to buy the farm and all I gots this ant hill
allergic to the urge to let my dreams Stand still
My minds a force field modern weapons cant kill
I wish my retinas shot lasers and crashed through anvils
I bike around without a helmet cuz Im kinda stupid
But ride for the sake of feeling free so safety's not conducive
We're two 4 letters word away from being toothless
whats the use in arguing with justified excuses
I Fall a sleep on the floor with nuggets in the oven
It keeps us warm during those months of frozen abundance
programmed to care about the purpose more than the function
Got my Eyes on the pie in the face. A perfect introduction
So many games
Same old aim
Not a Household name
Just Molten flames
got art on my neck don't need a gold chain
Its hard to be smart when you don't really brain
Im watching the star while they do cocaine
Do you. I'll do me. No need to complain
Just keep it real and I'll keep it the same

This Guitar Was Stolen Along With Years Of Our Lives
by Ceschisupported by 32 fans who also own “Follow The Flames”
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.

Album of the year. In a fair and just world, they would be headlining festivals with this one. Big hooks. Vivid verses. Fingers-crossed, the instrumentals will get the vinyl treatment.

Eyedea: The Many Faces of Mikey
by Micheal Larsensupported by 23 fans who also own “Follow The Flames”
I have been listening to variations of this album a long time. I remember I was living in a cardboard dumpster when some young guy was like yo dude it's gonna rain come crash on my couch. He played The Many Faces of Oliver Hart for me. I fell in love, I set my favorite track as Rain because we looped it when the rain came. That was one of the early acts of kindness I received in the nearly 20 years I've been homeless.
