can't rule regulation
a party of one in a duel delegation
an active candidate withdraws nomination
all alone and not taking part in this crowd participation
the politics of art
whole in part
it's dumb to be smart
and dull to be sharp
from the heart of the politically motivated
as the impatient waited
and the voiceless debated
of how serious ain't nothin' to play with
single-faced gemini
wanted to see some truth in her sinning eyes
don't know where is, or when and why
a late start will always end in time
heat in the winter and the summer's cool
can't fix what's broken when armed with tools
fish drown in shallow pools
wise words being spoken from the mouth of fools
sweat from not working
in pain, but not hurting
abandoned ships and boat deserting
i'm only positive that nothing is for certain
nothing is for certain
baby sister born on the sixth day of the sixth month
i only have one need, but still got six wants
one mother and five aunts
as the prey stalks the hunt
nothing left when i'm giving up all of me
haunted by no voices calling me
and it's all on me
and it falls on me
but that's just procedure and policy
policy

The Look Of Coverage
01:43
|
|

can't insure a guarantee
the thought of fearlessness scaring me
heavy weightlessness to carry me
sat enslaved while standing free
shielded, but you still run for cover
hated by the lovers
below all that's above her
pushing with the hopes just to shove her
not the time for the ageless
a book with empty pages
withdrawn by what engages
bored by what amazes
heard you with my eyes
you told me truths with your lies
gave me love but you despise
not your choice, you decide
the 'deep' judge books by their covers
no one else to replace the others
breathing breaths for the smothered
between sheets up under covers
sliced when you cut your eyes
no reaction, but surprised
impulses analyzed
the unnoticed realized
(hook)
no shelter from the storm to cover me
you full of hate, lovely
the world pushing and shoving me
left and right, wrongly rubbing me (4xs)

seen before, no precedent
candidate supporters assassinate the president
a hell of a way to be heaven sent
there's no proof within the evidence
reference points never seen
as the outside intervenes
new footage replaying the same old scenes
showing how the well seasoned are so green
slept through 'sleepless in seattle'
fighting wars within these battles
stories told with no tales left to tattle
excite the calm when the still was rattled
rural capitals
crying faces laugh at you
didn't do what you had to do
now you're chasing the one that's after you
it's a given that i can't return the favor
the lazy man's labor
i tried when i gave up
waste away the time that i saved up
minus positive
dying just to live
taken by what i had to give
it goes (on and on), but it is what it is
(hook)
its me against i, in my favor
sacrafice the savior
calm down the raver
destroy it when i made ya
waste away the save-up
master down, slave up
say who, & say what
still at war, even though we made up (2xs)

Dare To Hit
02:06
|
|

passin' licks hands to self
on your best behavior beat with belts
dry skin ashy, water filled whelps
play it cool and try not to melt
cashed in the chips when the cards were dealt
numb when the feeling was felt
a poor man has to flaunt his wealth
as broad daylight exposes the stealth
sickness, but still you got your health
nothing shown displayed on the shelf
immaculate garbage pelt
gotta release the contempt that was held
triple double dare
home of the brave got scared
put together just to tear
got blinded by the stare
wide eye open for the glare
faithful to the affair
perfectly unfair
naked clothes to wear
stingy with your share
shaving bald hair
right here is over there
something in common with a form that's rare
a form that's rare
a form that's rare
lie to don't do it, truth or dare
i'm not here, but the map reads 'you are there'
funny how the unconcerned show that they care
living a day in the life where everything is fair
as the next man strips the bride bare
empty-handed with a fist full of hair
this is where the poor never count their share
and also where the naked always have something to wear
something to wear
something to wear

The End Was Released
01:25

the slaves let him go
the unexposed let it show
had to hold on just to let it go
kept in the dark to let them know
the free won't go anywhere
the concerned don't have any care
in justice there isn't any fair
kept to yourself what many share
the war of making peace
starting to cease
declines increase
from slavery you'll never be released
NEVER ALL OVER AGAIN
real life is only pretend
grand finales don't know where to begin
and the first don't know where to end
darkness as the tunnel's ending light
another day ending night
who's wrong for defending right?
compromising won't break me but bending might
the beginning artist draws the final curtain
indecisively decided for certain
there's some pleasure in your hurting
some turned off in your flirting
(hook)
let's take it where the ending starts
all in whole, whole in part
science and math inside of art
no movement from your beating heart
from these chains you're now released
this is where we start to cease
and look away when eyes meet
not offended in the very least

the liar's oath
dirty soap
smaller under microscopes
the smiling face mopes
pleading the 5th to testify
as dry eyes cry
a breathless sigh
with knots to tie
a timeless age
a joyous rage
a bright light fades
a sacrificial save
aging youth
here you lie in truth
permanent substitute
nameless attribute
next to nothing image is everything
forever never always seems
real life lived inside of dreams
end the silent screams
heard the visuals
casual critical
hostile hospitable
no proof of the evidence being admissible
admissible
admissible
(hook)
the dark was glowing
the camera's rolling
too many among the only
and the in crowd's lonely
it's all real
yea, real phony
anonymous know me
didn't see the showing
wasn't aware that i was already knowing
knowing
knowing (2xs)

it's fair to cheat
introduced, but didn't meet
she's expensive cheap
loud mouth don't make a peep
obvious affair
it's so right but unfair
you're not here, over there
fish out of water breathing air
play the part seriously
no questions curiously
a calm furiously
lose the battle victoriously
acting reality
a noble fallacy
local galaxies
dying peaceful tragedy
real people blind, they seeing through character's eyes
fell in love with the character's rise
weight, length and height all share in the same size
no kin to family ties
no secret for the discreet
first time repeat
a home retreat
finishing the incomplete
(hook)
acting the reaction
don't take back the retraction
the whole part of the faction
percentage of the fraction
watch the lazy take action
can't get no satisfaction
feel intense when relaxing
a love without passion (2xs)

it's pretty ugly
hateful lovely
below being above me
the gravity of the situation pushes and shoves me
attracting the repulsive
still convulsive
carefully planned out impulses
went unseen, but still noticed
humbled by vain mirrors
more vague and no clearer
so far, it's no nearer
not scared by what i'm in fear of
old news of the day
clear path in my way
on the right track but led astray
especially on just another day
still-life shots of cameras rolling
just stopped in, i should be going
concealed at the showing
dimly lit when it was glowing
truth is they tell lies to my vision
losing sight by vision
can't make my own decision
muting blank screens on my television
television
(hook)
privatizing public image
curving lines of scrimmage
extrovert the timid
push it to the limit
outside all up in it
past infinite, receive incentive
no matter how you spin it
the plaintiff is the defendent
the defendent
the defendent (2xs)

Off Some Features
02:02

unimportant special guests
didn't ask by request
cursing all that's been blessed
overruled, under arrest
anti-starring
a peace of mind while the body's warring
happily mourning
pushed into a careless warning
all is none
pieces of the total sum
leaving to come
returning from...
a couple of fews
three's and two's
uneventful news
the blind man's view
going off to turn you on
lost out when the game was won
paid attention once you've been shunned
a brand new case of nothing new under the sun
light switch and the darkness stays the same
picture me standing outside of the frame
hate to play but we're forced into the game
outside on the end of sane
the end of sane
the end of sane
(hook)
stay in touch
but can't reach ya
no knowledge from the teacher
blasphemy from the preacher
no searching for the seeker
it's neither or, or an either
breath taken from the breather
it's the coming of the leaver
and a following for the leader (2xs)

Days Calculated
02:23

random calculations
uninvolved participation
unforce the obligation
held back graduation
taken away, but it doesn't add up
too much and still not enough
don't feel whatever i touch
everything is really nothing much
the whole in part
pie graphs and charts
ending on a false start
the paragraph's body has no heart
consciously in a daze
still waters making waves
taking back what you gave
in filth i'm forced to bathe
mastered the art of being a slave
still poor and just got paid
drowning in the waters that i wade
no creations ever made
moments 'til 24 hours
the days are yours, but the nights are ours
it was only made to devour
too much energy exerted from those with no power
from those with no power
(hook)
no numbers according to my calculations
the uneventful is a situation
an empty room for crowd participation
what's the unemployed's occupation
i don't need the obligation
so unconvinced by your persuasion (2xs)

Want Abandonment
01:51

|

girl, i can't let you do this...
let you walk away
right up front when left behind
blows to the body all in your mind
cut from the same cloth like a stitch in time
a reason to rhyme
abandoned ship to shore
grounded where the eagles soar
heard the quietness roar
on a nowhere tour
left alone and staying together
sun shining through bad weather
it never was always forever
care too much, but yeah whatever
yearn to desire
too low to get higher
heat the cool on fire
who's the king's sire?
i need what you want
stalking the hunt
and the scared attempts the stunt
who got the back of the one that fronts?
hellspawn at godspeed
a bad moon rising on your good deed
from the margins and in between the lines that they read
everything that you want is all that you'll ever need
...all you'll ever need
(hook)
the faithful won't believe in me
so i guess now you'll be leaving me
don't understand what you see in me
what never should have been is what it seemed to be
what it seemed to be
what it seemed to be (2xs)
girl, i can't let you do this...
let you walk away

Along Mid Within
02:30

in on the outside
left in the dark about to outshine
never ever will but it's about time
yours truly ain't all about mine
on the outskirts of the inner
starvation for dinner
the agony of defeat for the winner
a heavy weight (wait) for the thinner
traveling further to meet you halfway
embracing all that you keep at bay
do it like this, if not that way
let sleeping dogs lie wherever that cat may lay
right left of center
the good deeds of the sinner
dry land for the swimmer
and the dull shine for a bright shimmer
walking towards being taken for a ride
and now you live where i died
the same is current with a change of the tide
taking a kind word from the one giving you the evil eye
and no one's with...
an unwanted gift
staying in place to shift
left with no way to answer the question of 'if'
the question of 'if'
the question of 'if'
(hook)
rebelling when you go along
singing no words to this song
it felt so right, but it was absolutely wrong
the daze of the weak can be something strong
something strong
something strong (2xs)
is it different if i close my eyes
if i, if i open my mind
is it different if i close my eyes
if i, if i open my mind
make me see inside, make me
make me see inside

Era Dancing
02:27

dance the wallflower
the short all tower
dirty minds with thoughts to shower
when is it brave to cower?
hustle to stand still
feather weight anvil
voids of air in the landfill
what's the life of a man when that man kills?
public eyes on the private dancer
hate filled romancer
a life adding cancer
subtract the enhancer
forever locked in periods of time
an innocence in committing crime
can't make it on just getting by
the actor was remembered for forgetting lines
a correct error
a delightful terror
for the nude clothes wearer
no guns for the arms bearer
a question mark on this period
playfully serious
no wonder for the curious
and all this togetherness is tearing us
separate togetherness is...(tearin us)
cue the end of the intro
sonogram audio
monogram signature
arithmetic literature
jump the moon, trip the sun
judo grip, fingers numb
stick to script, scene is done
cut the shit, piss on em
serious-time, cracking jokes
i am lamb, hundred spokes
no glam, shining though
first in flight, last to go
goonie-bird the tarmac
granite skull, soft cap
no hands, reach for dap
one shot, two straps
face/off, high speed chase
minus gasoline
touchdown, first floor
aftershock, mezzanine
layup shots score for three
two for you, one-two for me
verdict didn't fit the crime
pole position, finish line
stop for yours, go for mines
broadcast the pantomimes
sit for dollars, march for dimes
lemon to a lime
mike tyson kung fu
cheat for the just due
dead last, still first
knowmass, disperse
(hook)
a curve in the line
the dark in the shine
a private dance in public
wasn't made for these times
the innocence of crime
fell into the climb
no reason to the rhyme
in bold letters, the print was fine (2xs)
