Star Birth '66
03:12
|
|||
looking to the sky like i just might fly away
and yet i stay grounded
when i feel surrounded by gravity
i fathom the limits before i dive in it
the immersion is beautiful
embraces the soul like a crucible
and fully suitable for the chosen few
we thrive in it
stay alive in the infinite intensification
where i connect dots like constellations
facing each possibility willingly
and feeling the effects of it
love it or leave it i believe it matters
each time we shatter the void
avoid shrapnel
realize the actual impact
is in fact gradual
we could touch the stars just to see what they're made of
and tell everybody the results that came from
the investigation that was actually
something similar to the Jupiter Gate
where Dave met a fate of star birth
way before there ever was a starboy
employed to satellite the Earth
on some Alderon twin moons effect
where there's multiple pulls to intellect
and it wrecks focus like white noise
employs distraction and subjugates action
by taking traction from the equation
slippin' into darkness on pitch black arks
aligned into sight lines where vanishing points combine

Indigenous Matter

sounds like summarization
dream home invasion attenuation
for regulation of damage
handling vanishing acts
if that impacts the flow
then call wrap on the variety show
put it in syndication
then mark time until there's vindication to iterate
dictate getaway routes in hopes
of some great escape
lost in altered states that
feel like a chain of great depressions
new contestants suggesting
game the system and play the victim
thin on wisdom
logic twisted up something fearsome
commitment is optional
here's an ideological obstacle
tied to audible stimulus
indigenous matter will answer to native instruments
stimulus package delivered
well is dry til you cry me a river about it
CaT2D is shrouded in mysticism
an cynicism in a mixed bag with a tagline
looking back at a pastime paradise
nice dreams for the comatose beings
closing their all-seeing eyes
this'll be the indication that
hibernation is a protest statement
stepping away without looking back
as everything fades to black
sick with the fact that i find myself
in the thick of what boils down
to a quick fix
to dismiss the listless spirit
feel the torment that comes
with facing the fact you've been
dormant for just a bit too long
out here hustling all wrong
ghostwriting a swan song to sing
when they bring flowers along
like you're Algernon
feed my love 'til it blows away
and i feel alright right before i fall apart
startup for the endgame
fabricate an auxiliary pen name
most radiant alias
that's known to cut glass so spontaneous
various gradients stored in the cranium
waiting to be explored
navigate me as i pass through
storms of first reformed
who feel the scorn of those who find bliss
in hand over fist approach
coasting by
seems like people that might rely on
vox populi designation as icon
those in the know about
when the grip lets you go
show little to no emotion
a token victory
eventually lost to history
punish all those who rummage through wreckage
newly erected and uninspected
embrace all things eclectic
the skeptic perspective
that creates an enemy
to tendencies of selective memory

hours minutes and seconds of feeling disconnected
unprotected dismissal on a dime
like an elected official representation
of defacing intellectual property
with nothing but mundane monotony
got me all vexed wondering what's next
until the moment i checked myself
protect myself
so i can direct myself to an actualized promise of providence
common sense when it gets painfully obvious
i was made half-monolith half-obelisk
sunlight shining through the cracks in my window pane
will numb my brain if i let it
and i never forget it like still-lifes
stay wise intelligent
nanomachine if i'm an unnatural element
ultramagnetic poetic
check the method of madness
for the Everyman Hybrid Habits
the water will eventually rise up
the audience will open their eyes up
the uneducated will wise up
our thoughts will hold the skies up
doing the impossible for the ungrateful
the unwilling
the unknowing
the hateful
if i can't make contact
then fate will make anything that's considered innate real
that feeling that a ceiling is a limit
no sympathy for a timid divinity
acting like a temporary infinity
is an actual construct that we should conduct in with
any assemblance of acceptance
that's the sweet blessing of a lifelike weapon
of a sentient nature
dance with the imminent danger
invigorated with innocence

rattle and hum
what's today's math on the actual sum total
we find at our disposal?
wil it suffice to manifest paradise
out of anything less than nice dreams?
sending out Love Streams
like my man John Cassavetes
my medley can get a bit heavy at times
so i draw a line in the sand
47 levels of logic to understand
all coming at you sort of like E. Honda hands
beyond the best laid plans implemented
yet again there lies the tenant
i was up above it
and i found myself right back in it
in an instant
temporal displacement means
laying the entire timeline to waste
for the sake of break point definition
bringing dementia back with me
from another dimension
those inflicted still cannot identify
the symptoms that they themselves personify
this is insidious business to tend to
the returns are diminishing you
clues that were misconstrued are now viewed
with the wisdom applied
that'll guide folks to a higher ground
where the sound advice is emanated
and the Deus Ex Machina pattern is emulated
all faded glory can receive reparations
in the form of a quick restoration
otherwise the alternative is a permanent vacation
from reconsideration
that's living in oblivion gets ushered in
like a guest
or a form of hypnotic suggestion
just another mess on a mission
that's put to the test for this expedition

Earrly War
02:11
|
|||
the ballad of an early war victim
glory times passed at last
but the shadow they cast covers much ground
and causes shutdown
like an e.m.p. soundwave
played at the maximum volume and velocity
sonic atrocity
tape terrorist
everyday i write the evidence
made a personal settlement
that some spirit takes residence within me
i envy its ability to move willingly
and spread energy
i'm an early war victim
the wisdom it gave me
it what saved me from the symptom
inverse placebo
step into Cerebro for escapism
and the dictation of verbal venom
send 'em down a path where the math
probably doesn't add up
or even subtract much
this is on behalf of the out of touch
suffering conditioning
fully content with polarized listening
stereo implies community with a unity
unique influences intertwined fluently
pre-Babylonian harmonics are still quite possible
closed-mindedness is the obstacle
wishing all my output were sonic juggernauts unstoppable
but i'm just a simple man burdened
with a logical mindframe to maintain plausible deniability
in my role as an mc
better than embedded aesthetic
a veteran
integrity that doesn't need to be vetted
let it set in automatic simpatico
at sporadical times it gets downright magical
to become organically connected
means you've been error corrected
subliminally accepted all the serial experiments
the result is an ascension
beyond comprehension
very much in need of a mention
and this is one
spread the wisdom
the ballad of an early war victim

Just To Be Clear
03:36
|
|||
waste not want not memorandum
in tandem with a knack
for not holding back at random
scattershot griot
electric feel in the chamber
to seal the deal
room in this tomb for a visitor
latent inhibitor of nobody in particular
call me a tripwire that's making an impact
even if i happen to misfire
flows like glancing blows i suppose
better than standing out of range
where nothing is landing
moment of clarity
from punch drunk infatuation so candid
that guard loses out to gravity
sacrificial lamb out of my anatomy
rapid decay
dust from the DNA
action for ashes with no delay
float in perpetual motion
there is an ocean of possibility for the woken
taking a sleepwalk off the deep end
to transcend the limits of the pen
or the shape i'm in
something akin to the soul
now overexposed to a change of venue
deconstructed then discontinued...
an ordinary man that manhandles
both ends of the candle while lit
as i keep stepping into the darkness
of my pitch black archetypes
manifested out of carbonite
for the collector
meddle detector that easily
identifies the uninvited
attempting to infiltrate the enlightened
not that evolution is impossible
cost benefit of that tilt shift is nominal
in terms of the long run
the marathon man on one for the ages
rattling the cages
working through the stages of grief
in the search for some sort of relief
like subliminal group therapy
all of you are helping me
the way i'm giving you my everything
and i guarantee it means just that
talk about impact synergy
taking back the term Dragon Energy
like gentrification
positive spin for the win
victorious and vanglorious in equal measure
serving up a suture for a future victim
letting out the antidote like verbal venom
for some thinning of the competition
mental inhibition for a great depression
the contestants for endgames
everyday i write the book
so taking a look at it is automatic
it's the living revision in the flesh
or a close approximation
modern Aristotle with the burden
of a daily occupation in tow
staring out the window
with so much longing that denial is clearly wronging
to base nature
six degrees of erasure
meet your maker
and become aware of the preferred nomenclature
worker with a working title pseudonym
suitable for application
down to the rudiments

Gospel Not Gossip
03:52
|
|||
verbally virtue signaling
like filling in the gaps
in the form of abstract raps
to map out the path to the proof of the matter
chatter that shatters pattern recognition
the mission is simple
to scattershot individuals
with interdimensional elevated sense of duty
to innovation of sympathetic vibration
gospel not gossip for profit
looking to offset all false composites
so we get parallel scales all set
to dissipate when they can't take the weight
mass and passage of time
keep it aligned like a twin generator design
balancing act apparatus
pulled in to centripetal madness
going in circles expanded and collapsing
despite the fact they're full of stars
more than illumination
suns simply because they shine like one
pure tenacity helps when they fill that capacity
diabolical molecule looking in to
the mirror in the bathroom
just outside of the vestibule
the waiting room if you will
the world's a stage where we're booked
to present the real
cycle of imitation we feel
to the highest degree
inner meet me on the level again
whispering words that scream
of our favorite sin
so we can extend the bond
of the parallel sentimental journey we're on
to the mysteries i've been known to mention
beyond black rainbow levels of comprehension
freestyle mind design
dig as i throw down on double blind technique
to speak truth into the realm
and make sure that i don't dwell
in my private hell
how bizarre when considering
TheDoomsdayDevice was forged in the heart
of a dying star
most folks come to check
my death rattle and hum production
they make copies that operate
just like disembodied jalopies

Crying Freeman
02:36
|
|||
isolation drills
and chills of the winter that's approaching
numb my pain like frostbite
and i might maintain my sanity
through the long night
do it all wrong until it's all right for a spell
decimate the time duration
with an incantation for the ages
i'll commit to these pages
like sacred information
racing through the metacinematic passion
in a beautiful tandem
fire in the eyes and it seems
i can smell the gasoline
if you know what i mean
burn 'em all like the Mad King
and sing for the therapy
for some concept of longevity
when i realize that severing ties
might be the only way to survive
in a postmodern strife
sorrows are lost on time
in the confines of future paradise
dark cells with a dominating half-life
induce stress that feels very much
like a twisted knife
instill a healthy dose of healing for real
before i hit 'em with the phoenix reveal
promises unspoken
the wheel will be broken
black op mission in motion with momentum
slow venom has entered the system
to christen a new batch of victims
lethal injection personified
more quantity means more to monetize
meaning notoriety will be on the rise
like a high water mark
from what i surmise
it's round about zero dark thirty
still too early for awakening
those taking in the steps of this journey
might be a bit too vivid
for a spirit that has yet to live it
counteraction to a casual form of navigation
within the manifestation of random placement
monumental wake as i break through
the unseen spaces
proceed to crying freeman
to avoid going off the deep end
or deepening the sense of empathy
so intense it feels like another physical specimen
has joined the regiment
army of one about to come undone
and succumb to the beauty of the songs
that remain unsung
locked in creation anticipation
patiently waitiing
this author is similar to Siddhartha
on the search for the balance
of a silent partner
writing lifelines
but they tend to take on the form of a rhyme
most every time

Noo Sweat
02:23
|
|||
ominous anonymous
skewed like oculus
administered prime optimistic
to the whole populous
the massive innocuous
mocking us with the mentality
being casualty to processes that are obsessive
possessing a fallible type
tactical abstract approach
swarming like Marble Hornets
dig 'em moving in unison
like they could clue me in to the maneuvers
druid-like counterintuitive
and proving it
made the decision to be a living apparition
on a black ops mission
Colonel Kurtz-level hidden agendas
are a strong possibility
fire up the flames
'cause it's time for a visionary experience
deliriums infinite to divine direction
coordinate collection
bring doomsday to your vicinity
never forget
they'll have you thinking Lo Phi and i
are imminent threats
'cause we're similar to hip-hop Vietnam vets
in this innocence lost
living in oblivion
whatever the cost might be
it's likely we've played it so many times over
making this the sobering wake
taking in the presence of the heaviness
and using it as evidence of absence
put into practice
never front like my bad habits are tactics
seed coded language in the verbal gymnastics
to access the different planes of existence
seven layer oscillated misfit mystics
esoteric darts in the place of ballistics
something is feeding us stargate ingredients
wishing for some inter-dimensional exposition
carrying us through the varying outcomes
quantify it all like analytics
schizophrenic artist as own worst critic
locked in a thought
that playing both sides is the way to survive
in these times
could it be we have arrived?
parking the Durango Ninety Five
on the side of the highway
and walk away into the night
unsolved mystery mc
seeing where the next steps sends me

Krausee Keeps Quiet
01:26
|
|||
here's what the others see
the ground that's under me
has shifted so suddenly
that it gave the illusion
i'm not utilizing gravity when i hold it down
as profound as that sounds
i must deny it
keeping quiet about the skill set
will get complicated
full disclosure
i get master exploder when i get in the pocket
getting chat roulette
when i hang a topic on the word vomit
this is a style composite
mastercrafted from stream of consciousness
obsess in excess
and yet there's no regrets i must confess
burning the sacred text
invoke and then disconnect
runaway intellect in the form
of a silhouette that'll invest energy
that it manifests at your request
ballad of a soul collector
with empty nest syndrome
personal ghosts have strayed so far from home
seems the beacon that they were seeking
is now now longer blinking
that's when it hits again
the sinking feeling comes around like seasons
with hidden meanings a lifer can decipher
as if it's code
in the mood to get in the mode
of the man who sold the world for fool's gold

Uncanny Valley
04:29
|

dissect gravity and study its anatomy
more rapidly than a flashpoint tragedy mishap
you can't take back
so you say take that for good measure
like tightening screws
not even vistas of view gave me the time needed
to focus on a ruse so elaborate
it hit the scene like a contaminant
accidental ambient sound as sacrament for abandonment
you can call it an artifact in due time
when it completes the through line
categorical imperative with the narrative
merit so apparent it becomes declarative
behold the transparent zealot
fixed point status embedded
a living Polaris
designed with well-defined shine
human international dateline divine
manifest infinite jest at the crest of the wave
and articulate to the conclave
all data that matters
backchannel chatter where we hammer out a gameplan
draw a line in the sand
and then stand in stark opposition to the inefficient
like i'm putting on a deposition
keep digging 'til i find a hidden agenda
sent here to never forget
what some never remember
accelerant on the quest
to connect with an ember outside the tinder
sold on folding ideas
we could be the pioneers of it in this coliseum
carpe diem in motion
non-conformity of corrosion approaching
sewn into the fabric
generate fantastic from the havoc automatic
melancholy tied to the infinite sadness
working on a vanishing act for the vastness
of the vigilante life in the uncanny valley
implement savvy beyond grand finale
