Halloween Dream Pt. 1
I can't get these feelings outta my mind
They're starting to haunt me all the time
Thinking I was ahead but I was always behind
Trying to do it solo while I was trailing a line
There's to much paint so the walls are caving in
This is the way I feel when I try to make friends
The fumes are to thick its hard for me to breathe
Why must I suffocate to learn how to breathe
But my mind is jealous with nothing left
Bringing up shit from the past
Like why are you gonna put yourself
Out there knowing it's not gonna last ...

Time Served
Today is the day
The one you knew had to come
The one that makes you pay attention
To every minute, to every second
Between now and then
You recollect everything
Between forever and when
Was that one heart beat or ten
Staring out of my window watching my past go by
Feeling scales removed from my eyes
My situation is my own, I can't deny
I can't forget you although I've tried
I'm remembering the last time we saw each other's face
We both realized what was my fate
Tenderly you clung to me
You cried as...
The one you knew had to come
The one that makes you pay attention
To every minute, to every second
Between now and then
You recollect everything
Between forever and when

Staring out of my window watching my past go by
Feeling scales removed from my eyes
My situation is my own, I can't deny
I can't forget you although I've tried
I'm remembering the last time we saw each other's face
We both realized what was my fate
Tenderly you clung to me

Universal Kiss
Your eyes, pools of molten chocolate, both shimmering surprises
If I could only dive to their depths and greet tomorrow's sunrises
Swimming against the currents of your beautiful mental stream
I'm like a trout swimming about in the light of the moon's beam
I've bowed before nature swearing oaths and begging favors
But in my time of need you were my only savior
Your shimmering eyes guiding me through life's darkest times
Your mental stream with dedication rescuing my mind
There's nothing in the universe with a more perfect shape
Curves...

The Blame Game
She claimed there was nothing in this world that she ever wanted
Until she found out that she was pregnant and that baby she wanted
This baby would be more than a comfort, it was a part of her
That was until the delivery, he was spanked and the baby never stirred
The situation was so tragic it shattered her mind
A casualty of war, like magic, returning from the front line
Coming up out of the hospital, to bury her baby, no time to think of him dying
Family members saw all the symptoms but they all said she'ld be just fine
Hit after...

The Cure
What do you do when she says you don't exist to her anymore
The two of you have had so many arguments before
She was totally your Boo, dedicated through thick and thin
So much more than a lover, she swore an oath as a friend
She always had my back although I was seldom there
She journeyed through my heart and mind simply by locking her fingers in my hair
The sensation of her breath on my neck and face
Totally revved my engines leaving me feening for a taste
But the problem was that I was a glutton
I couldn't tell the difference between...

The Heist
The virus provided the cover, somebody's gotta love COVID
With N95 mask and rubber gloves on, what the fuck can be hid
Double L came up with part of the plan, motherfuckers needed to hit a safe
I came up with the other half, a bitch needed to get away safe
First things first my boy Lil Runt got a hold of a police auction Crown Vic
This bitch has got to be hot, that's part of the fucking trick
Big Pearl, Little Runt's cousin worked over at a dry cleaner
hard hitting bitch, they didn't come any meaner
She drinks and smokes our shit, so you...

Transporter Pt. 3
I can take a quarter, put that shit on head
Make that shit spin, go to fucking bed
Even though I'm out I keep the dam blocks hot
When I wake up there's a fucking key in the pot
Put a quarter back in the bank, and then go to work with three
And no one has more or better quality than me
I could've stepped on it four times but I only did two
That's so bitches buying bulk can make money too
My regular fiends are lined up like links in a fucking chain
They know that Transporter has that shit that goes straight to the brain
If i was to...

Greed
Hanging up on myself
Now my ears are ringing
The voices demanded I answer
The sirens are singing
There was much that needed to be said
Greed has returned, its time to get paid
Predatory loans now roams the plains
Wanton wants are now off the chains
Thinking that I knew the difference
Between want and need
Place me on a course
To collide with greed
When first met it was, "nice to meet you
There's nothing that you can try, that I cant do
If you need a small loan to make ends meet
Watch...

The Darkness
It's nearing that time of year again, when the darkness returns. This is that time of winter, a time of feeding, and everyone is getting hungry. This is the time when people go missing in order to put a meal on the table. The weaker are usually the prime targets, but doors must be barred if you have children. The hunger has no bias to age, sex, or relation, meat roasting on the spit is meat on the spit. There is fear starting to show on the face of some of the weaker. But there are certain ones that know they will be spared, healer must be kept, along with the spiritual ones. The good...

I've gotta come up with a scheme for catching this prey
I've watched him travel the same path every day
He loves the power that he gets from him uniform
It tells him, it's his right to make them conform
Hell I know everything about him that a predator should know
His home was once here, but isn't here any more
He went to the academy and got sworn in
Came out brainwashed and became one of them
He packed up his shit determine to relocate
Move among those with which he couldn't relate
Trying to live a life that he couldn't afford ...

Caring For You
She said I don’t care about you
I don’t care about you
That’s what you want me to do, that’s what you want me to do
I can’t care about you
There’s nothing that can explain that sudden stopping of time
It’s like getting whiplash from your heart slamming into your mind
If pain is Ouroboros in the end days, then I’m it’s slime
Jormungandr caught with my tail in my mouth, kissing my own behind
My past became my present, the pain revealed my future
I deceived her faking love, but I was nothing but an emotional moocher
Me not wanting Lil...

Allowed
Can you see what we have allowed
Looking out of your bedroom window and seeing the fire rain down
There are nuclear missiles posing as storm clouds
Nothing can be done, we've given up our voice's sound
At one time a proud and voiced people
Ranked among the top as freedoms keepers
But at some point our spines dissolved into a gel
Not to worry we also gave away our brains as well
The spines dissolving gives us an excuse for doing nothing
Pretending that we thought our leaders were only just bluffing
Idly watching each and every...
