Your Name in the Wind
03:57
|

we found a opening in wall that i could not fit through
misuse
on summer day
walking down a green path and humming with you
side by side, shuffling hand to hand
in a timeline of my mind
we tell ourselves no issue fam
playing dress-up with a quarter of the brittle fabric left
and this one feels like in my hands I might build the baddest dress
sown from a magic that floats freely but in my hand is ah tattered mess
my ladder gets to high for me to balance on
and at the top
i might topple and teeter over
my challenge is to watch a world from sober
and keep the momentum going
in tiny cracks
I saw brief glimpse
infinite to lift arm up in pretense
hold world out back
behind the fence
my shout stacked up
into a huge yell
this field its overgrown and the grass goes overhead
we watch the wind blow
by the fawns and fox that came to sit
by a basket that you brought with wine and chips
thought of this last time we saw each clearly
without the scars and all
on a memory of this
cloud that i saw
from far away
life held tight in mangled paws
as knuckles turn to grey
with a love that i cannot speak and definitely cannot face
in the whisper of the wind I hear your name
for the briefest moment
we rode a breath together
held hands in temperate weather
but made our balance hard to hold
I told you all my secrets and you made my world unfold
clearly there a hole in me that might to tight to stuff
tried give us both space
it ended up being to much
and couldn't find the words enough
to bounce on or bridge the gap
so hold onto a moment where every minute seemed like last
lifetime of lust in breeze
your head resting on lap
us, turning into love
we held open laughs and grabs
after fact
the loss was about something I couldn't control
I'd have to find my own way
and put pen what matters most
and some would say that he's still there chasing a fabric ghost
but balanced
on tight rope
walking inches on tatter toes
its gross
and didn't get the job done
cause when I met her at pier I froze
like standing in rows of planted rose
and wasn't up to snuff when i saw the unbalanced load
as she whisper so softly
that I should write it all down in poem
and wandered off alone
she gone

Case Closed
03:53

humble when i think of all the trouble that i caused
laying low until all the heat turns off
or till they call cops
a faction of um
says their never scoff
into the brown bag
rounded into the pieces of my peg leg
pulling off
its rot but gives me balance
and seems like its a challanges but is not
i'm got cast of characters to lean on when i'm gone
she told a long story
but it somehow seemed wrong
unique in its deceit so strong
in songs that just seem to want to roll off tongue
when one of us was done
i would hope for will still ring truth until its won
it turns into a sound that carries on
he's strong but isn't huge
when all is blended up and mixed into something kinda new
I ducked but could see nothing
past the shoe
I want a way forward through the goo
it's true
I slew a dragon as he flew
you watch the shape
unfold
i'm told it crash to earth
and then it sunk in that none of this would work
my perfect perk
lets me slide up side of mountain
head first
without loosing to much skirt
to the wind
what hurts is that I thought i'd think of something clever
to get away
that'd it'd work for me in the end
so imagine my disappointment when
it didn't
Im slamming sips
on corner building destitute
made up of mainly brick
that makes it hard to hold on let lone for me to commit
when the light shone in sift
i saw the spot perfect
it'd cost more to repair the dent
lair goes deep
something must be stuck down there again
i'm not going in
it's to much not worth the risk
my fair value estimate seems low
just want hold off the madness
keep the cops at arms length with my show
my low brow joke don't land
and I found away to stand on sturdy
sinking islands
I rowed to land
but man it is a chore
to i hope for something more
that a partially stuck
rotating open door
slamming into face
while one foot is off the ground
about two inches out of place
just to keep up with Jock Semple chase
too proud of his best interval pace
ducking behind the crowd
startled by his smile
as smoke covers all of his face except grin
so simple it all relates to the call in tips
I saw the trap clearly and dipped
and would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those meddling kids
tried to hide a motive but
I saw the trap clearly
i've nearly cracked this case

Keep A Backup
02:24
|

Ima a little summed up
By this lack belittled dumb luck
The riddle
dump truck deep
Sittin at the steeple toss
thinking of all of the people lost
Illegal seep through
tiny cracks
they're sadly see through
Back to study
reach you
with some
data fixate
making the bully to lick plates clean
And I ain't mean natured
so Imagine this
faulty some dream
as I Wander the abyss
That broke off
at the edge of the world
Ashamed of what I did to that girl
So here I am
no better off
this letter stops at trying to get her back
sinned and slacked
the backup tapes
My word Like master-bate
Just to ease this stress
My people press forward without a bet toward
trying to take a piece outta the whole damn thing
An now my soul sing bright
With the powdered puff goal brings
My goal in focus
Like a sold it after I wrote this
I'm left empty handed
Grandstanding
sequence folding
no going back
To when I first heard rap
the mc ren tape
trying to think that
when humble thought felt
Like crumbled hope will
Take ya down a notch
bike in town a lot
the crown that cost more
sure
but I'm willing to pay for it
to savor this sit through
long drawn out story
I can't keep ignoring
look around
seems i'm always thinking
i find this all
predatory
and kinda fake
and if i'm sleeping now someday i will wake and
maybe i can
find it alight
if search around I'll feel that it right
the whole damn thing
is a broken piece i'm holding to tight
I want drop it
but it seems to frail
well
I'll keep a back up
I'll keep a backup alright

Lil Piece of Dynamite
03:24

patchwork quilt of do you really know the deal
wrapped around tightly but is it even steel
frayed and full of fear
and when its on my shoulders high I cannot find the will
so i took both pills to so I'd try and find exit here
I keep a backpack full of lego pieces shaped in the tallest hill
and when they are dismantled its under foot and heal
my realness seems to shift and fade
a symptom of a endless wave
that covers all things
and I cannot say my systems brave
I tried to look away
but the product that he bought into is warped with dented frame
somehow I am caught in cloud
watch as I drift away
outta sharp focus
apparition doesn't have a shape
went to drain to lake
but the structure underneath
is now hard for me to see
an alternative approach is to toss key into sea
and watch fear float away
like a ship thats does not sink
list on port side and then starts leak
can it be real
or one of many fake threats this week
selling madness to the meak
casting shadow on all we say and all we seek
bleak
just to sell some grief
plastique
to get a handle on danger
never walk with strangers
do not have a touch
but keep speed dial on the flip
buttons are depressed
worn
and sometimes they crack and click
he's at it again
to many fox in the pen
my wolf slays
teeth bared and all
and will stop until he's done
off guard
like when the walls caught on fire
and spreads in home
nobody should walk alone
the last time I checked
was wrecked
and couldn't let it go
look close at the sample group
grab the same slacks off the rack
preowned
didn't dress like the crowd
but kept wardrobe strong
its shown to be last light that stays on somehow glows
he tried to shake the stank out
but couldn't wiggle noes
so the saying goes
propped up on a hilltop still
watching the wind blow around me
the truth a painful pill
that will not want to swallow
If I do not have the skill
to speak to how I feel
in ways realer than the street
dreams like a shield
that grow dryer than mesquite
while watching the fire peak inside
and still can't stand the heat
plastique
these little piece of dynamite
that they sell to us on street
I found today
and its no wonder
plastique
why we weep
