Glass Dreams

Mostly lifted spitting fantasies
Misguided moments, fighting thoughts of where I have to be
Omen spit, I'm smoking I'm hopeful I'm spared catastrophe
coping in ways I molded
broken glass on my happy feet
Move passively, quiet my mind, slash my needs
Speak to trees, find true solace next to my family
Truth is I'm too honest, and honestly the scene's gorgeous
I allow it envelop me
This wave's back to ocean, my motion deeper than me
Cold flow, stoic, freeze when I breathe, still sleep with the freaks
Feel the mountains bleed, hours pass so steadily
When I'm in this place, it’s all dark but all heavenly
I flicker through a thousand memories
Hive mind rhymes, there's no end to me
These thoughts permanent, my flow temporary
They stole centuries, I'm taking it back
My bad days I just take it and rap
Those blue skies I’ve been painting 'em black
I see nothing but nothingness
Dreams shatter into day-to-days
Pick apart the pieces, try to analyze my lazy ways
Never play it safe, hazardous when I'm taking aim
I heard them talking in circles 'bout how they shape the game (they don't)
Never chase the fame, chase the money, mainly chase my brain
Shaky knees won’t buckle, my mind collapsing with the rain
Fire breathe like Arcanine and find my verses filled with pain
Higher feeds from gods whose fine notes said it's all the same
Tapped in the moment, control it, and let it go
Unfold to a new mold don’t hold it just for the show
Compose myself, watch the young me turn old
My folks they keep me grounded, crutch my burnt soul
My third go was my luckiest, I'm Aldous Huxley touching other worlds
Just a subtle verse, I left where the rubble sits
Posted next to demons I spit
This devious shit the mic holder feeling his grip

Oh so wizardous wild, this shit magic
My flow so criminal mind, they all track it
I get Shakespearean high and turn tragic
I may feel venomous tides and lose balance
I stay where the sentiment died and truth vanished
The line my competitors ride, its too average
Extra-terrestrial fly, I been abandoned
I bet where the rest of 'em try, I do damage
Rhymes splitting rivers apart
Is Moses colder than god?
See I’ve been building like I'm Noah and the flow is the ark
I hope they follow my arc, though I get my lost in the plot
The Labyrinths of Sacred Data that I found in the art (LSD)
I play my part, paranoia kinda tears me apart
The flare the at the start
the same place as where we depart
I stare at the shot
bare faced and glaring I'm rocked
The bottom drop it’s a lot
I'm still so sparked
Peace seeker, dreamer on the edge It’s all balance
Speak ether, still lean upon a ledge before madness
Rich eater, switch teachers, mans methods savage
Breathe deeper, see legions of my ancestors vanish
Constellation spitting, it’s a stellar affair
Circle round the block while I puff on the square
Constant observation of the hell in my head
Purple coloured crops keep me up in the air
Hopping on space rocks, tie them up on my neck
My dreadful dreadlocks, I stay locked with my dread
Just please don't fuck with the kid, I know there's a lot to be said
I prefer silence instead, yo fuck the doc, I'm tossing my meds
I'm Cosmogonic
I move matter meticulously
I know the game moves fast but it ain't quicker than me
I know the pain don’t last, but this shit sticking with me
I know we came so far, but I got places to be
Cathartic on top of the castles I crafted
Departed, crucified alive
bloody faucet flowing with orchids
mirror the gorgeous
No longer cautious
changed lanes still I'm car sick
Nauseous
but still my faults feel so faultless
Older than god, who could’ve birthed all before this?
Unfortunately the brave were never favoured by fortune
The more sin I feel man it all clings to me

Flying man feel the soul beyond the mind
No sense assessing the senses, still touch divine
I think though I am not, try circling time
Arrive weary, mind eerie, still kicking the these rhymes
I need mine
Feed the deepest pieces of my grievances
Go from western lies to eastern myths
Still spend equal time concealing shit
I say I’ll never change but watch the seasons switch
Contemplate my pain and where my reason sits
Guess I got a lot to say but nothing really fits
Logic won’t prevail, still the dreamer kid
I don’t believe in shit but I believe in this
Spitting lethal quips, hit a seamless stitch
offscript dark as the lich
chase moonlight to where Artemis sits
Its hard to be still, I'm calm til the fog starts to lift
Clear as everything I caught in that glimpse
I watch and cheer along the fall of the kings
I spark it up next to the morgue and I grin
The reaper not to grim he just sings
It's not too bad, it's not too bad out here

Colourless Thoughts

Moon beaming and bald-faced, the air sending shivers
Spoon feeding off gods plate while he slowly withers
Glazed hatred and over-spiced demon livers
Flooding the world he made in his own image
Sunset skies and bloody rivers
As above, so below, sweet implicit of bitter
travel through my goosebumps and visit each of my quivers
I’ll get some sleep in a minute, I need to sit with this, just leave me to dither
I had a violent thought disrupt my own peace
The old world not forgiven, vengeance move with my feet
I cut the lights so that's the darkness could bleed
Shut my eyes so I could trust what I'm seeing
See man always been a liar to me
My fire speech not hyperbole, defined by the heat
I find a seat down in purgatory, rhyming elite
You gotta learn to die or you get stuck in between
Man I was really trying, but now I dwell in defeat
Trees colourless in the night, thoughts black and white
You could’ve never left right, won’t sweat the regrets twice
Faceless memories, nostalgia hitting me with lies
Receipts showing nothing but fights, truth is I chose flight
Sky roaming alone now and void screaming
sit in empty fields, outline the purpose of no meaning
Looping thoughts, monologue demeaning
Self-hatred rolling around in my head screaming
With my demons in a stand off
Deep in my psyche like Im stan grof
Skipping lightly with a heavy heart
Eagle eyed as a steady dart
My trajectory complex I wonder if the end is where I start
All connected in moments found in the separate art
