lyrics

A passive agressivist stands on a precipice
Fisted pen and twisted grin in a blistering wind
A mobile home grew roots, it’s now an edifice
It's time for advice from a brother, sister, or friend
Spend no more moments wondering what’s ahead of this
Keep bright eyes peeled and keep listening in
After the genesis, must come the exodus
This one is for real, no longer just for pretend
A question riddled citizen is bracing to get hit again
Complacent comfort comes crashing down
Pay closer attention with Paxil and Ritalin
Pay up says the drug dealer, who’s laughing now?
So few sources, yet so many middle men
Stepping back from the edge is hard without asking how
But taking the plunge only ensures the villains win
Turn around the victory trumpets are blasting sound

And the guitars are in perfect harmony
Nothing can bring harm to me...at least not right now
And that sound, it never brings me down
And I’ve found that just the right keys
Can be the right key to opening the door
Artistry is calling, sick and tired of falling
Never too tired to get back up
The music is soothing and it keeps me moving
Even when obstacles begin to stack up

Clueless, without a to-do list
Rubix cube confusion, needing a shoe and tooth fix
Moonlighting as a monkey that can do tricks
For a few tips while showing the restraint of a Buddhist
Passion comes before cash in
Half-hearted efforts get left in a trash bin
No one can be spared without first knocking down the last pin
Vish, pass the aspirin!
My skulls throbs as my lonely heart sobs
My soul rests while my body lives life
My mind works out all of my problems
But always just too late, too late
Took some time to work on my timing
Filled a few books searching for meaning
Made some music and I saw a beginning
Still not finished, no, no, I’m not done
In fact I am just getting started
On this brand new leg of my journey
My story continues to be told
Stay tuned for the next episode

Just like that we’re back let the cameras roll
We all act in the cast of this lifetime show
Never know when the season's gonna to be done
It could last or go fast even ‘fore it’s begun

There’s no reruns so we gotta do our best
To live fully face death with no regrets
Nonetheless, one can still become depressed
Feeling powerless to grasp a lasting happiness
I digress, positivity is the best defense
When life leaves you in shreds, beats your head senseless
To end this, project your own sense of purpose
On a malleable world neither valuable nor worthless
Deathless, birthless, breathless, life breath, spoken and wordless
Soundless sound abounds around us now, have you heard it?
No. Maybe my mind’s playing tricks on me
There’s definitely a precedent of times that it’s picked on me
But with certainty I can’t un-see the unity
It certainly moves through you and me, proves we're true and free
New view of reality, no more fundamental mental
Fallacy of duality
Monumental mental malady of a personal me
Complete with a backstory to take personally
Replete with a deep sense of inadequacy
But I can't be a “me” existing only transiently
It’s my stee though I probably I ought not be
Awkwardly offering thoughts on philosophy
This is hip hop please stick to the proper themes
No one wants a wannabe hip hop Socrates
Want to rock with these green teens properly?
Just proffer up another offering of misogyny
Drugs and thugs busting slugs from their armory
On an auto-tuned harmony, how much harm can it be?
