Temptation 02:40
lyrics
download
I am reassured of nothing pure My proposal demure Give into it for me Go with the fit Only hurts a little bit Growing underneath my skin Glowing I hurt my tongue I hit the ice Give into it for me Go with the fit Only hurts a little bit Growing underneath my skin Glowing It’s the only way to make sense Of a truth that won’t commence Give into it for me Go with the fit Only hurts a little bit Growing underneath my skin Glowing

Rough It 03:20
lyrics

Sparkle in your eyes I won’t take offense If you don’t realize The meaning of your sense Flowers bloom, the oceans swoon Catching all who dare to assume Light is caught up in my eyes Wearing a betrayed disguise I want to take this moment To trace what I’ve become If living for the old meant giving up I’d give the sun Flowers bloom, the oceans swoon Catching all who dare to assume Light is caught up in my eyes Wearing a betrayed disguise Into the great beyond Is where I’ll find some peace I live for everyone I live with the disease

Another Reach 02:57
lyrics

Take my pride away from me Leave me without sympathy We are crawling up the line Slumber catches the divine Pitch yourself the hook Take another look I am not amused These patterns are of no use They’re written in mistakes The presents to replace Pitch yourself the hook Take another look I admit to nothing with this case Pitch yourself the hook Take another look

I’ve got something in my mind Something I would never find Had I not fallen into a kind of temporary decline I rewind and fast forward a thousand years No friends, no tears No life to make No soul to take No cold to fake A thousand years A thousand years like this, I might fake existence Tie myself to skin shit Talk without diction This is science Fiction An old addiction Leaving the kitchen Cooking somethin bitchin Bitcoin snitchin Wit, boy, listen You’ve got no admission I’m your intuition Eat from my cup It’s never enough Swallow your lies Eat it like fries Seeded on time Never the swine Always assigned Always a fine Paths to blast Cast a cast Heal yourself Your serial health Nearing some help Your hearing it well Searing, the smell Caught up in hell I’ve got something in my mind Something I would never find Had I not fallen into a kind of temporary decline I rewind and fast forward a thousand years No friends, no tears No life to make No soul to take No cold to fake A thousand years A thousand days like this, I might fake existence Tie myself to skin shit Talk without diction This is science Fiction An old addiction Leaving the kitchen Cooking somethin bitchin Bitcoin snitchin Wit, boy, listen You’ve got no admission I’m your intuition I’ve got no more release for my health

Eat the Year 02:34
lyrics

Temporary loss of reason Tis’ the season Lack of reason gets me grieving When I should be bleeding 🩸 Onto a test trip Gotta check this Resurrected by the check list Golden necklace A recession When I act this way I demand the pay Just to give it away See a brighter day It’s okay to be ashamed Of the way the world rang But now we check the future in your palm Just give us a new song Just like she wrote my ringtone Stretch it out like fee’s dumped on you, chump Like he’s dumb Take the time to wear it out Be the kind who airs it out I feel safe inside the satanic manic panic But I can’t handle it The way I hand my shit to other men to fuck again I’m sick of explaining stuff to them Fuck the land, just kidding, sufferance is wondering If you wanna get stuffed again Tougher than a motherfucking woman fighting for suffrage Trying to feed two kids for her man who shop at Lids For a man that defends himself against The powers that commence Mass economic suffering I’m hovering above their shit Trying to fit myself inside of it But I’m to big, my egos shred But that don’t mean I lack common sense I’m honoring those that bled Take your meds I was on the fence but I payed with my sense

Lost My Phone 03:19
lyrics
download
Back again, but why do I rap again? It’s not my friend, it's in my gut I stuff it up, can’t even front I bust the one who lies too much Fried to the touch, don’t need the drugs But swallowing stuff is not a bluff An armored front, militant blunt Like bulletproof vests that don’t protect the head Busting lead through words instead I’m barely read, I’m barely learned But I scarily earned my wings to burn The hurt they give as work Society collapsing by the moment Rise up, this is just a temporary holding Break the molding, ice scolding I’m totally free from what they told me But not really though, as my tax forms show I’m gonna have to blow, this life is a no Why do I need to rap When I feel like I should be giving it back Not taking it wack, not feeling my sack But if I talk slow, I gotta walk slow Dumb it down to a poem Instead of a razor sharp stroll Through the depths of control And loss of all that you know Some devil taking control Giving you gold that feels like mold Splitting particles through stories told Give yourself back to the flow You won’t think so hard, yo I guess it’s less stressful to feel blessed though No one really gets though The feeling of how the chest floats This is on your TV special It’s reverential Sick in my head Sick of my face Sick in my body Lost in my ways Giving it praise No one was saved It’s just a grave We’re gravitating away from Under the same sun Subwoofer vacation I said something Forgot it like nothing

Spot 02:10
lyrics
download
Spit again, a thousand mistakes in the wind Met with the face of indifference It’s good to piss on every sense Of evidence that I left for them For getting a fucking acid tab That broke my back In ways abstract that hurt to stack It’s such a trap I can never turn around and laugh I’m gonna die living a lie until a heart attack Or a lack of giving a damn About what life never had Hide my trust under a mat Just to escape the facts I never stashed enough cash to hatch a cache The rehashed facts that came so fast They ruined the first batch and the last Every day The chosen way It hurts my face To smile and reveal my pain I’m often lame And laid up the fucking same As golden fangs Sitting in my spit until I strike again My victim pure My heart obscure Emotions lure The ones I like Are often lying Trying to be sure of themselves Ego’s dealt hands that failed Life’s sailed, now it’s time to feed the trail That seems to unveil and bail on any rational tale to ease one This is beyond hope and reason A necessary treason Now that I won’t sing this song It’s too hard to follow along I hit that gong when you get that bong We suffer through the morning stronger tan before When we sore into the explorer Like Dora, we solve the crime Making sense of the divine Cutting through the hands of time Eat it while you’re mine I love you just fine

Dying 01:53
lyrics
download
I got the feed up in my mind all the time I'm just dying Writing down? I’m trying Stop relying on mind madness to be firing I’ve been to hell and back and I have to accept it stuck I can't rewind anything less than a quarter I’m shorter than the border between more of her And the war-torn verse of hurt Like Lucifer, dropped on my ass Like a loser for madness A slap to the face made of sadness Straight to the past A fast whiplash that won’t pass It won’t satiate my ass to betray the gas 
 Take me over the great beyond We have a reason why we rewind The constraints of the world off-time I eat the lime and kiss the sky It’s feels fine to be high It’s relaxing my mind 
 Tell me about everyone Who gets to be in the story Wake more of me Take ordering more relief In the sense of a brand new orderly Who has corned me and won’t let me leave It’s insane to be so enormously hijacked and seen By things who might be me It’s hard to see the truth with rationality But that’s half the beat I play for the beast to become such a thing And for the herb that makes me sing I gotta give it up and gleam What a blessing to be free In a chained society 
 Take me over the great beyond We have a say in how we rewind The constraints of the world off-time I eat the lime and then kiss the sky It’s feels fine to be high It’s relaxing my mind 
 Sugar in my touch It says I love you too much I blame the crutch on my guts Warm it up so soon like a hunch I’m getting slower to the bunch I aim to keep Reality is virtual to people who blend their sleep

Trade Secrets 02:08

My body relaxes and calls it sleep I dream a dream only a fiend would scheme I lecture to no one about what I preach I never could go on the way that you see shit Give it up Soft to touch Sees too much Geezer stuffed with seasoned mush A bleeder, much You see me blush I seize the stuff Can’t get enough I call your bluff It’s quite a shove The baby dove Flies higher up And sees the crushed People stuff evil like a sequel sucks It’s all unjust I give the moment to the omen Fly me back like evil Romans String him up with sacred moments Sing a song and veil the chosen Give it up Soft to touch Sees too much Geezer stuffed with seasoned mush A bleeder, much You see me blush I seize the stuff Can’t get enough I call your bluff It’s quite a shove The baby dove Flies higher up And sees the crushed People stuff evil like a sequel sucks It’s all unjust It’s gonna be the end of your lifeline Give it up Soft to touch Sees too much Geezer stuffed with seasoned mush A bleeder, much You see me blush I seize the stuff Can’t get enough I call your bluff It’s quite a shove The baby dove Flies higher up And sees the crushed People stuff evil like a sequel sucks It’s all unjust

Self Us All 04:03

Use your mind Act normal at all times Be the first of rewind to define nothing but idle tries This is your bluff realized I am the disguise That wears your eyes You’ve won the prize It’s time to die Wake what’s inside, satanic vibes Not defined by religious crooks But by hooks and simple times to cook With a little weed and some books This is your nook, rest easy, don’t be shook Have a look at the only reservation Made under a name that don’t exist I’m beyond the stratosphere aiming to you to bliss Just like a deer in the headlights lost in the mist You’ve by kissed by the devil On another level Critically disheveled Mystically hello With the discretion of a saint You can’t be what you ain’t You can be what your not Live your life take a try Smoke a lot of pot Before you get got Shot in the parking lot Not that you’re barking hot Just at the wrong place at the wrong time Now you got the mysteries faking your life Putting out my best with a lack of interest In how I digest my success I perceive as a mess It’s a game of chess to be blessed With madness at your chest Holding a sword straight to your neck It’s like check one two is this really you I do prove to be something other than me too but what is me but a condom on my soul Playing it safe, it’s protection, but it’s dull I’m so full of shit I can’t handle it But I’m fine living life as a pedestrian Keep my head down dead deep in the dirt God made dirt so the shit won’t hurt Don’t be like Kurt God rest his soul Bless Nirvana in full Buddhist shit is out of control But you gotta eat the casserole I thought the song was done I’m a dope It’s time to rope another rhyme Eat another mind Sacrifice your life Inside but not out Keep your body a temple Or the devil kicks you down This is the ghost town Rewound to be found But not drowned in the sound Keeping it purer than a motherfucking parent It’s apparent that I’m not disappearin It’s gotta be said Nothing feels wrong with wakin up dead Write it all down for the feds A twin peaks head Within the shed What’s in the wash Where’s my shirt I’m about to bring a world of hurt

Destroyer 02:32
lyrics
download
Living in the sauce that I drink The moss that I eat The lyrics I speak The flows that I bring To sing a song about being a goner We track you like your honor Give you to the song served On a plate mixed to shit because I can’t hear straight Feel the vibe anyway, I’ve got something to say I can’t believe it myself but it always feels that way It gets me high, pilot in the sky It gets me low when I see it go I don't know how to float Without air inside of my soul I try my best to maintain myself And refresh myself from losing my health More than what’s been dealt It’s well understood that all is good The ether seeks me through the woods Straight from a thought given to me through a sense We write the message down and post to make amends I gotta be myself, it’s not the end I gotta be myself, it's not the end Pilot in the sky It gets me low when I see it go I don't know how to float Without air inside of my soul It’s safe to destroy The packaging that we deploy Your sense of self is out of toys I am the ruler of this noise But I am nothing but a ploy Just a boy to be avoided Don’t be pointing fingers at me I’m only trying to speak Fuck it, aim your guns Let’s have fun Shake your hands and quake the lands All is feeling soft again

Rap Blume 03:06

Where does the sun go When I’m trying to float Upon the ether that makes everything cold I’ve been told it’s a mistake to be bold But I’m sold without the truth, I don’t need proof I’m taking my ego from it’s youth I’m the sleuth that moves in the past Cross-deserted wounds that won’t last It’s a blast to recast myself in the lead I’m only temporary but I carry the seed Of inspiration that knocks through me They don’t see shit, so they don’t think about it, that’s legit It allows me to morn my wit that I felt Without all that self-hate that I’ve dealt It’s a dream now to open the well And retell myself the deal Nothing is fake and nothing is real Kiss of approval and the seal You’re feeding on appeal The rhymes are your meal (4 bar break) Every night, I go around the world But I’m lying in my bed A thousand thoughts and mysteries Flowing through my head A syrupy slow delivery gets it on with them The other side speaking in a language make pretend It makes no sense, but it’s perfectly clear I’m spittin rhymes from the motherfuckin ether It’s a receiver and recite kind of shit I can’t stop fucking with it These damn rhymes that make too much sense I’m convinced I’ve lost ignorance I’m living in a life present tense Feels like the future when I emote for them This is that temporary Gary that won’t end They locked me up before because I couldn’t pretend It’s just a soreness a human won’t understand Unless they’re flowing on the mic like I am I don’t mean to pretend that I’m some kind of god I’m just rolling with the ones that there are

Get Your Zone Right 04:14
lyrics
download
Evil flows through the mind in the form of a kiss We didn’t do anything to deserve this We’ve been it for existence It’s just another trip to spit Wrap your melon in a biscuit Impossible without the liquid But anything’s mad for this kid I’m living in the trip every day I’m awake Every day, play it safe, bust a rhyme, and get baked Whatever I can do to say I’m breaking open in a brand new way And I’m taking you with me if you stay It’s okay to feel ashamed About a past that you can’t break Away from anyway It’s time to betray your self-hate And make the great escape I’m on top of the world I can’t even lie My life is mess My mind just won’t die I’ve been telling you it that has to come to this I’m your subconscious and you know that I exist The words you write are coming deep from within Who’s helping out, it’s just Satan again, my friend You take the path that leads you straight to us You’re on an escalator, ride it out and trust You’re heading straight into the star that just combusts Another day to be a saint and feel injustice This is the way you’re gonna see the other world Through the frame that death will live and let you swirl Like a tye dye shirt, I help you trip and blend in I beat the path that was spoken for by them The others, they all make pretend That life has to end This is not the mend On your heart that you depended on before It’s just a soaring revelation of where you’re going, new sensations and complications This is an article that’s blatant All the words are right here I’m leading with my cheer I can’t stop thinking about what was in that beer It’s thanksgiving and I’m out here busting rhymes They steal your land and brag about it all the time I can’t relate to having a date with the unkind I’m just unwinding myself to be finding truer times I spit from a well that’s well defined

The One One 03:14
lyrics

I always fuck the flow up with my mind I’m shifting up so I can do it all the time We eat the bark that dies in the darkness of alignment You can’t have my soul, but I’ll take yours on consignment I’m rhyming because it sounds great Outside in my soul, been rhyming for ages This the dispossession shit That ultra-lesson shit That we fuck with you kid In the best way possible We’re the ayahuasca soul And so much more that it’s a bore to tell you so The worlds a dream that we’re living together it’s a letter to the truth of how it feels to be alive Give yourself a break everyone will live and die Time after time Life after death See us in your rulers of true consciousness The artists that are blessed The ones who are meant To come down and start again Welcome earth, we are the alien Even the grass has friends Every day we are soaring Your lyrics are boring Your rhymes aren’t tight They don’t fit right They need a belt We’ll pelt your throat So you know you misspoke The last time isn't a joke This is the last line Stay woke but don't be a hoax

A Final Drift 03:42
lyrics
download
Mayhem in my world I can’t pretend That I’ve solved the toil Of living with no end I got nothing and it never pretends To hide beneath the fence It tears the walls down that it blends with Only to offer me true friendship Or to remember that we’re distant relatives Separated by time and space but interacting with the human race It’s a space case that goes on for days My body will die, but my soul will replace I love the gift of gab to say Tuck it all back so you don’t look cray It’s such a gift to be alive with you all I can’t believe it’s a dream after what I saw That life is death and death is just a suit One that’s valuable and so hard to lose I broke my lie when I opened my chest Got a taste for the blessed I’ll take two, they can have the rest There’s plenty for the repossessed If you know how to bless yourself and all of the rest I don’t know where I came from And I don’t care where I’m going For I am knowing that I am higher than motherfuckin Boeing Flying into thee eyes that bless the skies And draw the clouds on high From David Bowie to Cavemen stoning We’re all the past and the future open To recombine in the now You cannot find this truth unless you open your mouth It’s such a gift to be alive with you all I can’t believe it’s a dream after what I saw That life is death and death is just a suit One that’s valuable and so hard to lose
