I write for just a few
Who knew, that words through windows would bounce back
Who knew, that words put to recording would find tracks
The beauty of it all is the fact that I've learned to circumvent the big and run across the small issues just the same
Lame
Tame
Blame
Ashamed
But not shamed or shameful
Deceit
Retreat
My feet they move faster than my brain can push
Kush
They took
A hook and dropped it at the center of my mind
Find
Kind
Speed up
In order to rewind
Defined but no definition exists
Swing
Miss
Cartoons like Heathcliff
Beats lift
Soul shifts
And now I sift through all that I've known and all that I know to really be true
Coming through
Never knew
Who are you
What did I do to end up here at this point
Double joint
Just two points your foot was on the line
Behind
Confined
My time can't be defined by simple words
Chords
Vice Lords
Using swords to slice up and peel
Conceal
Reveal
My hands are now off of this wheel
About to fall over the edge
Ledge
Tonight I make my final pledge to never write again in such a tight space
Trace
Face
Show me your hand
Damn, you had the King and Ace
Pace
Displaced
Words coupled with meaning allow you to travel to another line
Look at my picture, that light is mine
Close your eyes and the darkness sets in and now you're blind

I am my fathers son
In the end he and I are one
I am my fathers son
As he smiles, my voice echos in jubilation
It doesn't matter what the situation
Even in humiliation, I can feel his smile
I am my fathers son
My heart waits for beat breaks, which beat then break the clouds away
His beats used to break the same way
His past is now my present today
We've both walked in the light and hidden in the gray
We've both ventured to the top of mountains only to see what the fountain of life holds
Cold, it's all so true
That when one sees me, they inevitably see you, dad, coming through each step, each thought; sometimes I whisper in the dark in order to hear your voice come back to me and tell me that I'm ok
You see, today I realized that I am my fathers son
I sing and hum
He no longer whistles because I never learned to keep a tune
He holds his words and that's what I've learned to do
Crazy, fanatic, I've rolled around and come out with all this static and I can't seem to cling to anything substantial
My father wipes me off, sits me down and then brings the wisdom that I so lack
I can't keep track of time
So my father is there to remind me
I can't see where, I'm headed
So my father is there to help guide me
For how long I don't know
But when I look at the mirror, it's not my face but his image which shows
In the end he and I are one
I am my fathers son
As he smiles, my voice echos in jubilation
It doesn't matter what the situation
Even in humiliation, I can feel his smile
I am my fathers son
My heart waits for beat breaks, which beat then break the clouds away
His beats used to break the same way

Snatched...
Road blocks have been set up in my mind
I type, I think, but I can't seem to transfer these into ink
So I continue to sink deeper into this gridlocked mental traffic
No compassion, no justification
Just the simple realization that my mind has gone off on the run
And had an affair with my thoughts
The reason I know this is because I've been waiting for days now to see her
My thoughts being her that is....

Maker of Thought
One, two, buckle my shoes
Moving through life like, "Whatcha gonna do"
Moving through life like, "I cannot stomach you"
Caught the flu, about to catch the vapors
Traitors, ultimate penetrators in the cover of the night
It's the light
It can be real if you're traveling by candlelight
It's all so bright
Distraction, distortion
Babies cryin', mothers seeking abortions
Here's the notion
Sex leads to life
Fallin' on my knees, my prayers lead me to Christ
And yours can be Allah, Buddha, or more
I came through the door and saw a dude straight kissin' my girl
Me, I got what you need, but I've always been a friend
And that's what I'll be in the end
Oh baby, just maybe I can figure this out
I'm stuck on this couch, I can't move
I'm about to detonate and I can't find the fuse
In the end, you win and I lose
Choose to stand on one side or another
Choose to allow yourself to rediscover life
Everything is going to be alright, everything is going to be alright now
Take a bow
You're the best supporting actor and the crowd says, "WOW"
How did you do that, where did you go
How much of this real, how much of this is for show
Here's my heart, measure its contents and stamp it best of show
Now you know that I move through dark circles only to bring the light
Now you know that every morning I wake, I pray that I do right
In the still of the night, I held you, I held you tight
You weren't mine and that's for sure
I promise I'll quickly let you go and the you that I speak of is me
And the me that you read are my insecurities indeed
Take heed, stampede the whole world has fallen to their knees don't get trampled
New samples, new disease, new cuts on un-scraped knees
I plant trees, next to seeds, I capture the sun, I fan the breeze
So please join with me....
And teach the young that they can breathe
Moving through life like, "Whatcha gonna do"
Moving through life like, "I cannot stomach you"
Caught the flu, about to catch the vapors
Traitors, ultimate penetrators in the cover of the night

Lost Planet
There has been a new forensic find
It was unearthed on the other side of my mind
Hidden away throughout all of my time
No parallels thus no lines
The darkness was vast, its terrain never before traversed
Each step taken was new, there wasn't time for this dance to be rehearsed
A purse was paid
A song was played
There were new memories to be made
But they were all to be made after this find...
I walk alone, I'm looking at you and I tell you that I truly walk alone
The thoughts in my dome, they are mine
The dreams and wishes that I have, these cannot be defined
So you see I myself have been confined
I've been confined to this time, this place, these eyes, this face
The clock on the wall it tick, tocks, tick, tocks
You see today there has been a new forensic find
This find has lead researchers to the back of my mind
The back of my mind is where they find that time has stood still forever
The dinosaurs and early man still roam
The Indian and immigrants both have homes
In the back of my dome they find riches unknown to the everyday man or woMan
It's more like WHOA, man
So now I try to WHOA, men and women alike
So now I try to feed the world the biggest slice of life
I light my thoughts on fire so others can see my light
I'm burning
I'm burning with the desire to take over this place
I'm burning with the desire that soon people will recognize this face
This face of change and want
I want to change, I want others to want
Want to be the best at whatever it is someone is telling you, you can't have, you can't do
I want to tell others simply this
"I'll do me and I'll let you simply do you"
Today there was a new forensic find
Today there was a key found which opened my mind
The looks of black faces, running races so they can finish
One, two, and three
The looks of hope which were once hung on a tree
Before there was thought of you and before there was thought of me
A great man once told me to pray and push
So tonight I pray for no more teachers no more books
No more teacher's dirty looks
Tonight I pray for peace
Tonight I pray that my soul will slay the beast which lays wait on the darkest part of my mind
Tonight I pray that I will push on
Tonight I pray that I will hold on
A new song
I sing
Tonight I pray that silence will silence this thing
This new found find, which sits on the other side of my mind
Quietly waiting for its discover, recovery....

6 Shots
Tonight all of my dreams have been replaced
Feelings of hate and malice race across my lips
I've been stripped/tripped
But you've forgotten to deliver the last blow
Instead you leave me lying here
And my emotions, begin to die slow
There's no medal or honor that you can win
You, like so many others, smile and pretend
I caught your presence your spirit in the wind
There was a time not too long ago, when I actually considered you to be a friend
But tonight I lay here in the dark
Bleeding, my words are bleeding on these pages
My thoughts have become contaminated with a plague
Now these words seem contagious, it's so outrageous to think
That soon I'll close my eyes and thus begin to sink
Sink into a place where I've been before
A place where the harsh realities of this world won't matter anymore
One is in the chamber and a click away
Two is in the chamber and with a quick prayer I pray
Three is in the chamber with hopes that one and two fail
Four is in the chamber to assure that this pain won't prevail
Five is in the chamber just for no other reason
Six is in the chamber just to prove that my bags were packed and I was set on leaving.....
No need to hang on, this is the end
Broken perhaps but I couldn't bend
Feelings of hate and malice race across my lips
I've been stripped/tripped
But you've forgotten to deliver the last blow
Instead you leave me lying here
And my emotions, begin to die slow
There's no medal or honor that you can win
