Honestly distracted, picking apart enlightenment
What should it mean, trying to breathe, but also pay the rent
Another ding from my pocket, It's a dream I'd forgotten
Head fog looking dense, sleeping dogs on the fence
Stomping on the time and time again
Got the bends, veins bubble burst
Pouring my blood on the verse
Faint in the stethoscope a whisper
Flipping the switch got a cold transistor
Wearing my shoes till the soles fall off
Deranged incubated while I cough and cough
Coffin nails rust
Spilling my guts, fading my trust
Watch me combustion
Flame of a vermin, cancelled my sermon
Used to preach till I felt the fist of God
Didn't spare the rod
Now I am writing my own fucking scriptures
Drawing the face of a god in these pictures
Picture us part of a parasitic apparition
We're Death on a mission
Making this flow
Taking us back to a day we all know
To a day we exacted our masterpiece
Mastering nothing and finding a sense of peace
Sacred and free
Analyzing this amalgamation, words drip
Scribble on dead trees, poets to emcees
Karma to Bhakti
This was my first and my backup plan
Making the music man, Making the music man
Do not forget where you came from, do not let roots inhibit your growth
Patterns repeat exponentially
Micro to macro they mutate eventually
Making their way through our space and potentially
Changing the way that we think consequentially
Gossip of Gods through and through
Simulation was a sight that you knew
Asking to barter, the martyr is full of regrets
Question the source and the force it begets
We are forsaken the children of one
And the one is the havoc of wars
War of a nation and war of a mind
Struggle to see a new theme and design
Grinding and twisting and churning and burning
Existing is real and I'm hopeful we're learning
I'm learning that time has a way of returning
Patterns increase exponentially
Patterns increase exponentially

Games weren't won feeling ready, got one had stiff got one had steady
If you're keeping your eyes on the ball, Picking it up when you fall
Working on keeping it raw, scratching your mark on the wall
Patience
Falling apart at the seams
Seeming to fill up your dreams
We infect a new guest, defect to this news, I click the new blues, the suede from these shoes
Power pulls quick from the pylon schemes
You get your fresh new drip straight dopamine
It's a barcode masterpiece, mastering methods to sell you
Putting your brain on the menu
Pulling the boards and exposing pale eyed man
Tales to the heart of a murderous plan
Cats in the walls, cats in the everything
Forming a ghost to hanging an effigy
Devotion is lost on nothing
Eyes pull quick as the blood stops gushing
Picking a digit humane
Tickle the ivory scales are insane
Naked and free to a cult
Shocking unravel the bolts
Bolting the neck till you halt
We're starting to hustle dirigibles
Flying abroad collecting residuals
Fucked
Dollars are dancing with demons and luck
I'm rolling the dice with a mic I'm unstuck
Scribble the word on a page find a meaning
I'm meaning to ask if you have to stop dreaming
Disasters, pulling the cord of your masters
Scribble the screens move faster
Multicultural donnybrook
You get your verses here, I said fuck the hook
Meditate on what you want to achieve, focus and breathe focus and breathe
Time is a tapestry we must weave, focus and breathe focus and
Breathing the breath of a river to flow
Sowing the seeds helping them grow
Growing apart from the virus
Code in the squint of your mind's iris
Pupil to Vishnu, tearing the tissue
Issues with life, having a breakthrough
Under a rock with a Hemlock tragedy
Failure on top of a bow shock apathy
Watershed flood from the elements
Step back quick see the whole fucking elephant
Tusk will bust the trust, catalyst combust, shaman feel the flux, heart will find the crux
Flex the mind, Shine divine
Memory persists when you melt the time
Open a portal and look at the culture
Twisting the mind of the money and vultures
Dangerous cartoons running the game
Pulling the pin, fucking insane
Paving a crucifix, do not get used to this, setting the reign aflame
Felons on to of the steeples, starving the people, peek through the key hole
Breaking the locks of oppression
Pulling the chains of depression
Marking my words
Sometimes the answers not so clear
Heretics blazing new frontiers
Building a culture, new disciples
Taking the time, breaking the cycle
Games weren't won feeling ready
This sideways glance, both hands unsteady
Picking apart the dream, patience start to scream
You never set foot in the same stream

Encoded blood of the pictures and photographs
It's the future that your grasping at if you can fucking last
It's the mascarade of many as the mask you wear is keeping you afloat
It's the holes in your own fucking boat
Fashion me a casket made of ashes of my memories
I'm asking if the only way out is with my enemies
Provocatively pocking the dreams for the profit or a meal ticket
Roulette spin click
Draw the line in the sand while the wind whips
Flames to the eyes of the man on the flagship
Mastered the time
Time was the enemy
Selling my soul for a sense of identity
Definite loss, defining the principles
Drinking the blood of the pageanting cynicals
Fighting the time in the trench to unwind with you
Fading the tint of the hue
Torching the letter I wrote to me
Using the flicker to return to sender
Flames on the post script
Cryptic encoded not hopeless
Future's ferocious and deaths the prognosis
Don't waste a breath, eyes off the ivory
Hunt for the meat not consumer lobotomy
Passing the prime with a prime understanding
Those lies were the ones you were handed
I could write a novel of my failures
The Father, Son, the Holy Ghost, the ones I remember the most
I'm candidly developing my sins into progress
You're measuring success, the puss from the abscesses
I'm absently minding my business
Grimace of smiles are the ones of a sickness
Sick of the pulling the gnawing the darkness
The fading, the toppling artistry, dollars are haunting thee
Don't use as directed
The use is the one that is cause for infection
Quivering thought with a downward inflection
Ripple the wave of my fucking reflection
Testing the waters don't bother to question me
Riddles I scribble, this dribble it sets me free
Poems and words on the lines, on my busted knees
Trust is commodity, trust is commodity
Spite to a God I'm agnostically cursing this fraud
It's perfectly broken delirious thought
Subliminal simulation that you bought
Writing the scriptures, code on these pictures
Picture it perfectly crushed
Purified dust
Demons engage with the prophecies
Pocketing dreams with a prophet philosophy
Pray for a martyr to take on the pressure
Building and feeding an unseen oppressor
Impressing the decorated sons of nobles
Cynically sounding as though I'm not hopeful, hoping for more
Defining the time from the AD to BC line
The God is question it is falling apart this time
We hear a diatribe of twisted animators
We are shattering the mirrors
We forgot what we created
We are toppling the sanctuary
All that I see is a binary blur of perspective
Ink runs cold from the palms of my hands
What's the objective, find the Objective

Hickory Dickory Dock
Arriving late to fight the clock
Father Time taking cheap shots
Feeling so distraught
Clicking and ticking the arms around
Finding ways to drown the sound
Measuring linear flipping it back
Folding the future to the past
4-D through our spacetime
It is late now, but we got here
Daytime to the bedtime, took a lifetime to a new year
Time doesn't change things, you have to change things
Gossamer growing through your mind
Pick the webs and realign
Time is an illusion, you do not have it, you cannot loose it
Winding the gears of a lifeline
Hours click hear a faint chime
You'll never buy the moments you lost
Replacement cost is null, fading lights growing dull
Allowing time to take control
Seed to a tree, and and egg to a chirp
All that you see will turn to dirt
Recycle the energy flow, making the garden grow
The future is now and the past never was
It's got no meaning just because
You have to make it, fill in the blanks and take it
Watch the time split
Big bang just a hang time
From the black holes to the enzymes
From the new year to the last date
It's a grand feast, It's a clean plate
Years to months to weeks to days
To minutes to seconds, we feel betrayed
Moments we lost to time it costs
To make the time for time repeat
Feeling complete, bittersweet
It comes right back to bite your feet
Quartz clock will oscillate
Gotta' upgrade my bitrate
The temporal parts, the bleeding hearts
The art you felt would never start is done
Finding time for sun
Supernova Megatons
Kronos becoming my savior
He's asking us now, while he's telling us later
Eons ago cosmological growth, feeling forms from divine fabricators
Swiping and clicking the time away, loosing the time writing words that I need to say
It is demanding, I am a man with a watch
Watching my moves watching my thoughts
Eternity falling away, finding the minutes that make up the day
Blankets of fog, jamming my cogs, I'm working on finding the words to say
The moments are thieves, they're taking away what they bring
Pulling the Winter to Spring
They're giving you what you need, giving you everything
Asking for nothing, taking it all
Summer to Fall, watching you crawl
Watching you walk, watching you age
Watching the clock, making you start, making you stop
Birth to fatal, cradle to grave
Writing your fable, working the waves
Tides up my time's up, pouring ocean from times cup
Fractured warped temporal coordinates
Buying time, you can't afford it
Taking my time and I'm timing my flow
Energies warp and I'm feeling it grow
Grafted to my past time
There's a big wait for a timeline, It's a rest stop, it's a real feel
It's a free gift, it's a quick steal
Bending momentum to four dimensions
Light's bent full intentions
You can't stop it, you can't start it
We are just simply a part of it.

Rock skippin', riverside summer
Mulberry picking, top speed runner
Digging big holes like a Tolkien Halfling
Real quick snooze by a forest sapling
Rainy day boots while the mud was thick
He slipped left to right to find a walking stick
Crickets cricked as the branches cracked
Stagnant pools see you looking back
Home was an obstacle, falling apart
Black eyed kid in the woods by the park
Found a release in the trees and the brush
Late getting home never ran, never rushed
Welcome hello to the back of the hand
Don't talk back to your drunk old man
Slept on the floor having dreams of the green
Skipped rocks in his mind from the side of a stream
Back in the woods next day feeling good
Hand to the moss, cold to the touch
Rained four days, couldn't rain to much
Walking the edge of the water
Clearing his mind from thoughts of his father
Edge of the bank, thick with the roots
Something was splashing, something was loose
Something was drowning
Couldn't tell what it was moved closer
Man's best friend he thought it was over
Thrashing about in the roots of the bank
Boy jumped in before the dog sank
Fighting the current, pulling the roots
Desperately wanting the K9 loose
Something snapped and the water ripped
Pup was free but the boy lost grip
Washing away in a flash, he knew how to swim but the current was fast
Pulled straight down by the undertow
Dog dove fast, he knew where to go
Pulling the kid to the top of the water
Grip felt tight, teeth through the collar
Dragging the kid to the shore, wasn't sure if the kid was alive
Death in his eyes, tongue to the cheek, pawing the feet
Coughed up fluid, gasping shrieks
Boy locked eyes with the beast in the rain
Beast barked once and the boy did the same
Rescued a new best friend, thunder shook the rivers bend
Dog and the boy had a deal from the start
It was life for a life, it was heart for a heart
Fetch next day feeling dry
Tugged on a branch with a new ally
Day got late and the kid had to go
Dad got drunk so the kid tip toed
Pops not happy "Where you been son?"
Fist to the skull and it felt like a real ton
Eyes rolled back, busted his head
Ashtray cracked and the blood ran red
Morning waves, cleaned up, ate then gone
Brought a little snack for his friend by the pond
Made a little fort with the sticks and the rocks
Heard the croak of a toad, heard the cry of a hawk
Great day race with the pup through the brush
Late getting home, never ran never rushed
Pops in the backyard, bottle in had
Kid and his pup by the fence, last stand
Man jumped up from the chair
As the boy backed up threw a fist in the air
White teeth flashed with a growl, as the man moved fast with a fist and a scowl
Made a b-line for his son, mutt moved quick like a bullet from a gun
Eyes on the drunk, jumped to the neck, mutt had dog's best friend to protect
Clamping the bite to the neck as he coughed and the blood ran down to his chest and he lost
All the breathe in his lungs, blood soaked tongues
Heart beat skipped like the twitch of a drum
Blood soaked pup and the boy went back to the woods to the place they enjoyed
To the the fort that they built by the pond getting dark
It was life for a life, it was heart for a heart
