Yo,
I'm a break that star apart, a hunger artist;
Selling my soul in a sober meat market
Blood on the carpet in my tiny apartment
My mind's in the gutter and my body's in the garbage
I Got nothing left to part with
Name in the flame when the pain makes it rain - arson
I'm not far from particle target
Without a damn clue as to how to move into the margins
If you got skin, carve it;
X marks it, the womb, we're all doomed and starving;
The body parts in jars were taken from the heartless
I give it to you at a real bargain
Five points on the hammer;
I'm sick of this ridiculous image forever molded in plaster;
My disease is a fastener, ritualizing my slow creep of death, X-Factor
I'm at the point where the facts hurt;
Unconscious mind and symbolism is my master;
Steady, flooded by a wise mind chatter;
Everybody dies, the devil wanted it done faster;
Give a dap, the creator is back;
I want to live and I'm done feeding the rats;
I came from an elevator cable laughing at scraps;
Part of my paroxysm's bringing my toxicity back
I flow with a bone to pick, what's in my teeth;
But I'm all out of hope and shit;
A sick, starving vocalist, odious
Eyes in the mind, I'm so broken;
I'm a cockroach taking it home;
Setting a housefire in the same moment
I don't give a fuck if pain can take over;
My body and soul are bi-polar
(Oscify)
Cold to the touch, really don't know much;
So they put it all away, and they fold it up;
Symbolism in a vision, but the lens won't adjust;
Salt on the roads led to holes from the rust;
Etiquette, look at your delicate rhetoric;
Soon it will crumble facade of the edifice;
Everyone's too much caught in appearances;
Ever since humans were thought of as heretics;
What a funny little joke;
People got a tendency to try to fix what ain't broke
How it is, I'm a guess they know;
Same old shit, on a different day they though
High energy, unfrozen cryogenically
Some get so desperate to try anything;
Finally, Frankenstein gets an identity;
Dr. Oscify, this is my century...
... Cause I'm caught in a calendar year
Reflection is closer than it appears
The gradient, so many different shades of it;
Break the grip of agent Smith in the matrix
Current events? Yeah sure, it is;
Dropping it all in the cauldron and stirring it;
Fascination with the flavor and serving it
Last ones to work on it will be the first to quit;
Tugging the boat cause I wanted to cope;
The face of the monster under the cloak
When the clock strikes twelve, where the soft light fell;
Heard a sound I know well, like a spiral shell
Serendipitous, typical infinite ripple;
A picture of historical significance;
Rhythmic pulse, biological conduit;
Intrinsically written in all music... stupid... do it
...

Defeat is Dead
04:53
|

I got a psychological pattern of thought
lost in the rhythm of sinners and demigods
I'm affiliated with the responsibility for my own inherent suffering
I swing magnificent wing
into the sting of the nine rings
hell better appear cause its coming to me
I'ma lift up the light rip up the shortsighted fear in the
megalomania it defines
I'm circumnavigating the circumstances of certain death
I've conquered them and there's nothing left to circumvent
I'm a simple man stuck in the physical realm
tired of the routine of infinity sick of myself
and if indeed there's demons in me
I'm not afraid to raise them from my cortex to my brainstem
I must face them from a stake and flame
I'm a warlock in Salem
I'm just another pitiful prisoner fit for this cage
moving through these shadows I can shift up my shape
I'm a lift up the weight of this headspace
defeat is dead to me I'm a piss on its grave
YEAH
contaminated lifestyle
hey can we turn it around
cerebellum cortex the head trip
with very little context accepted
it's an elemental concept deflected
into residential existential eclectic
here's validation for your egoic interface
pages of history we know have been erased
try not to giggle that could be the giveaway
darling your pupils are larger than dinner plates
have you even been awake
or are you walking around zombie-like
in a somnambulant state
whos asking me anyway
some burn out and become ashes in a tray
what are you doing if you're not practicing to play
sculpting clay in an accidental way
on an errand to search for the barrenest turf
then determine the comparative worth
I mean where does it end to the ends of the earth
better check the parameters first
am alert, not concerned with the brand of the shirt
you got water you can quench your thirst
YEAH
contaminated lifestyle
hey can we turn it around

Excursion (feat. JPalm)
04:22

I'm going on an excursion
I'm going on an excursion
I'm going on an excursion
travel plans, maps of galaxies and planets
rap verses in my baggage
soon enough we'll be back again
starry night, sometimes a party might
manifest into the best of safari life
deep tones, you can feel it in your bones
hard to understand why people want to be clones
Autonomous, not an automaton I stand alone
touch and go put the rubber to the road
is it possible to visit the outer limits of space
all the while remaining in one place
the sun raise with such grace
even when it's shining through the snowflakes
awake from the semi-automatic somnambulant thought
embrace the whole brain
energy transfer system like a coal train
where the beats are so strange
and the streets have no names
lessons where the legends of the cities of gold came
where you play is where the soul stays remembering the old days
I'm going on an excursion
I'm going on an excursion
I'm going on an excursion
I'm going on an excursion
I'm leaving today rain in my face
make this matrix my bitch
experience clay and makeshift
I raise this bag of bones from my gravestone
I'm leaving home
eyes like aces as I wade the pavement
one second every step and I'm blessed and I know it
Only my dirty ego renders me hopeless
I hold my souls motion like it was my firstborn
this absurd torment certainly poisons my harvest
but it serves a purpose excellent when I recognize it
spiritual growth and cognitive paradigm shift
sick with the sunshine and can't keep from smiling
superstrings on my violin vibing and giving rise to science
A crime when these tyrants are psychologically violent iceman
are silently claiming rights to my mindset
I be mining spiritual diamonds larger than life I sling stones at giants
I'm a David to stagnation's goliath
righteousness quick to hide in highlands
but I'm hybrid in my approach and I won't choke if I don't find it
exit this excursion for a burn I'm clocking milage
I'm packing up my tattered knapsack and bouncing
losing these towns and finding that grace is boundless
hope for the day is food for my wet brain pleasure and pain
a dichotomy of a bloodstain
and I'm going on an excursion
I'm going on an excursion
I'm going on an excursion
I'm going on an excursion
I'm going on an excursion
I'm going on an excursion
I'm going on an excursion
I'm going on an excursion
I'm going on an excursion

Yo
I'm about as alive as a sick puppy
yuppy motherfucking dummy
a crummy day with a tummy ache
lucid demons and crows halos over headwounds seasoned with salt
wingspan affords me with a strange sense of peace man
I'm about to resand this box of negative cognition into an empty oblivion forget it
sick of running from devils and witches
let's do this exorcism
Evil compels me to up and a avert my image
til it's right side up i be sick to the crucifixes
red lights over black streets
looking in my rear view two ghosts in my back seat
pull me in pieces and zip lock me in bags
i'm headed to where i'm destined and i reckon i'm not coming back
My life's a vector i find a nectar i never had
mind under pressure good luck to existentialist hack
tip the burden and bury it serendipitous
a catyclysm searching for the benefit
Life is a balance between emotion and intellect
my dialectics might hold me hostage until my death
Victory is within reach then it's history
breathing easy call me Mr. antihistamine
clarity in a dream no comparing to anything
prepared to meet your destiny sitting there with serendipity
apparently there's always a reason for everything
cycles of infinity will never be complete
it doesn't matter what the most advanced thing man makes
the greatest art could not compare to the beauty of natural landscapes
butter and syrup on a big stack of pancakes
vinyl albums by the crate now that's great
it was a bit late for a clean slate
filled up the chalkboard it was time to erase, uh oh
sometimes the biggest changes are subtle
fell to the ground as he stepped outside the bubble
those are the rhymes frozen in time
there's no winning without struggle
toil and trouble
feel like Harry Potter in a world full of muggles
on a different wavelength position to raise stakes
caught up in a crash course attempted to change fate
on a better path for it
it strengthened the man's faith
This assemblance of reasoning could either be imprisoning or freeing depending on through whose eyes it's seen
this duality a paradox perhaps could be most simply explained through principles of yin and yang
when it all begins the only thing that we perceive is the flicker of the shadows on the wall within the cave
so then we step into the sunlight experience brilliant color spectrum and 3-dimensional shapes
we watch it all unfold like a fern leaf
buffalo at the water hole when he thirsty
certainly if you want it all you gotta turn the key
can't claim we never made mistakes but we're learning evolution

Lost
04:59
|
|||
I was cast in the mold of a makeshift ghost
and i live in a city with no soul
in the wake of a shadow with the ravens and crows
and no other place to call home
i can only pray there's a pause in the chaos
i can only speculate how sick it's all made us
it exacerbates the strength of the maladapted thoughts that invade us
fade to blackness one cycle of the sun
at a time lost in translation
through the stained glass
it illuminates the sting of the emptiness all along faces
these nightmares hide in my mind
I'm a sitting duck living up to the pitch blackness
this darkness is a reflection of a cultural sickness
I'm a live it to the bitter end of my breath
and i rid this earth of the burdens keeping me on as a witness
and I rip these stitches open with a broken pair of scissors
sipping on the elixir of apathy
agony is a part of the packaging
in this godforsaken city pity me
as I writhe in the pit with the snakes and the centipedes
came to believe in the shame that was placed in me
by the seed of a cultural black sea
it was an illusory folly
soon to be conduit of misery
conducive to defeat
there's a reason that we're killing each other when killing ourselves
addicted to prescriptions none of them help
in bed with the devil himself
within a corporate cell as our morals melt
becoming liquid regret
we become what we resent
self-centered energy cynicism is what we reflect
cash price on a bag of happiness
American flag sulfur on a match head
bathe in the flame we became what we hate
and the shame is a blade in our back
we've acclimated to the weight of the mask
and we lack the strength to regain what we had
self-deception is the game and we laughing
playing strait from the path push back on the fact that we're lost
Beyond the shallows
everyone was there
where they found distant hallowed
we have now been self-aware
Found em on the doorstep
far beyond a cyclical orbit
so tell me are you a shooting star or a comet
are you in a daze, lost like the rest,
or just another knight trying to throw down the gauntlet
point to the sky saying how far we've gone
when the regularity of heavenly bodies taunts them
melancholy in the face of a quiet submission
at the base of a dire condition
felt the folly of my superstition
they still would let others define their religion
promise you lost it, will find it again
inside new beginnings
but why would you listen
theory of moral relativity
where intellectual lemmings breed
quickly quarantine the vicinity
and then ignore it for quantum infinity
the slope astonishingly slippery
I tell you, you gotta be kidding me
hypnotized and caught in the imagery
purports to set you free, yet still imprisoning
literally, and we come undone
from conundrum of conformist
in a video game
with the trees continually
rendering for the forest
these clouds precipitate storms quick
and a bean counter ain't taking no losses
sum of its parts can it ever be more than
only if you know how to read up on your trend
poured into the porcelain
with the cork in it
by the courtesan
spin a yarn folklore again
didn't they all go to war to win
be reasonable I implore you then
to deeply reach into the core of this
to each its own the social order sits on
creeping slowly as tortoises
but what's the point in this if you're dull and dim
better sharpen up quick if you want to cut it
just another number to them
run of the mill and I want to see somebody win
just another blustery wind
above the abyss and a cluster of stems
push another button again
antique artifacts that rust in the end
Beyond the shallows
everyone was there
where they found distant hallowed
we have now been self-aware

Sign of the Times
04:43

Two broke locs and a DJ
pass on that whack shit faster than freeways
fort collins flagship back in the day
my man Oscify got something to say
uh, dropping raw noise with Allpoints
keep it fucking ill like there's not a choice
straight up I just lay in the cut
real crazy shit you couldn't make it up
sick with it, fixing to mix legitimate
religious hip hop too heavy to lift this
shit show in this bitch
give it up like Christmas
bleed on the track like I got my wrist slit
Don't you tell me to stop
most ridiculous so we keep it hip hop
mag wing flying straight to the top
no matter what can never be what your not
heavy heads are bobbing for god sake
hold em backstage we flipping some fly tapes
energy integrated into the whole space
make the music shift into a new shape
no matter how hard we try
It's a sign of the times
don't wanna let it walk by away
it's just a sign of the times
no matter how hard we try
It's a sign of the times
don't wanna let it walk by away
it's just a sign of the times
Two broke locs and a DJ
pass on that whack shit faster than freeways
fort collins flagship back in the day
my man Allpoints got something to say
We don't respond to hate
open my wingspan and let the track lace
3rd eye vision shooting life strait
the magic of the mind too beautiful to waste
Spit flows to hit you in the ventricles
Things are looking good like a centerfold
let it go don't believe everything that's in your retinals
never fold, it's the greatest story never told
reality asking me please to be set free
ready to leave even though it appears deadly
vapors pass an aggression of new flavors
into a new dimension to grace haters without prayers
sell it at the fair you can smell it in the air
never coulda been pegged as intelligent but square
revving up the gear but it never could compare
felt tip share the information that made him well aware
