about

production of the counterpoint

lyrics

optical illusions were mirages of confusion

out of patience for the prelude
seen us done did it now the wanna join like me too
study ancient languages like Sanskrit and Hebrew
cut the ice blocks time to stick em in an igloo
get a little colder as it get a little older
get a whole lot more proficient with the fighting folder
as time goes on it all falls down like toy soldiers
have you ever been so happy the joy smolders?

the rhyme progression is a time possession
some strive to have it all quite a fine collection
some seeking fruitfulness turning over stones
as they sit back with the neatly loaded cones
copacetic aesthetic antiseptic it's so embedded
it led to overgrown fields after the road had left him
cattails and marshes the mind is an apartment
don't know where you're headed but somehow hope has set in

Optikal illusions were mirages of confusion

optical illusions were mirages of confusion
cant avoid it anymore it all looks too fun
can you see look what you've done
time for a new one will soon come
I preface every supposition with definite juxtaposition
clashing perception ranging brash to introspective
as we squint to see the many colors in the prism
subconscious process is similar to peripheral vision

production for the counterpoint
ease it in feel like a weed head without a joint
perfect day to turn a phrase but don't know how to coin it
blood and toil touch the oil we can now anoint
nothing if not loyal like a man's best friend
titanic aerodynamic try to catch less wind
lovely another dummy that they crash tested
asking who will be standing cause the last left wins
