I read it all the way through My cybernetic code is a mine set to implode until my heart bursts through to you and Although I know I learn in reverse in My mind with words never heard it's Best to let it go boom Like I have no clue what else to do for you, so it's zoom Or whatever, but bet it's even much better than an anti-bloom so Click-clack, I'll be back Yeah back to the past and right on track be- Cause "off" is not for you and me But when given an opportunity amidst all the scrutiny I found it shocking to see nada blocking the tune of our unity Now automatically, baby it's nothing and that is why I'll truly be A liquid metal The one on another level The one that'll never settle 'til our love isn't under pressure and And with a punch to my chest it reforms for another us But better So let us re-wire me in dire need of Of love's red letter ink from The depths of my Red Sea Oh and that's neither a low glow nor a slow growth But a high blow Reaping what we sow Only absorbing their bow and arrow So here I go Now look at me and see how it shows as I grow My deoxyribose flows like a Rambo on 'roids Talking and toking a Tolkien prose a Token story that goes to the hearts of those closed I adore Because I call for you by your door al- Though you always make it my shore so Know that I'll be clothed naked like before Restored down to the core Words from my world girl and now We'll encore the reform, it's This liquid metal The one on another level The one that'll never settle 'til our love isn't under pressure and And with a punch to my chest it reforms the rest for another us But better So let us re-wire me logically like chess pieces it's Whatever sits in peace in love's red letter ink from The depths of my Red Sea The depths of the Red Sea The deep Red Sea

Cybernetic Code
I read it all the way through My cybernetic code is a mine set to implode until my heart bursts through to you and Although I know I learn in reverse in My mind with words never heard it's Best to let it go boom Like I have no clue what else to do for you, so it's zoom Or whatever, but bet it's even much better than an anti-bloom so Click-clack, I'll be back Yeah back to the past and right on track be- Cause "off" is not for you and me But when given an opportunity amidst all the scrutiny I found it shocking to see nada blocking the tune of our unity Now automatically, baby it's nothing and that is why I'll truly be A liquid metal The one on another level The one that'll never settle 'til our love isn't under pressure and And with a punch to my chest it reforms for another us But better So let us re-wire me in dire need of Of love's red letter ink from The depths of my Red Sea Oh and that's neither a low glow nor a slow growth But a high blow Reaping what we sow Only absorbing their bow and arrow So here I go Now look at me and see how it shows as I grow My deoxyribose flows like a Rambo on 'roids Talking and toking a Tolkien prose a Token story that goes to the hearts of those closed I adore Because I call for you by your door al- Though you always make it my shore so Know that I'll be clothed naked like before Restored down to the core Words from my world girl and now We'll encore the reform, it's This liquid metal The one on another level The one that'll never settle 'til our love isn't under pressure and And with a punch to my chest it reforms the rest for another us But better So let us re-wire me logically like chess pieces it's Whatever sits in peace in love's red letter ink from The depths of my Red Sea The depths of the Red Sea The deep Red Sea

Lately What I do is a vacancy with A disposition made just for me and it's In a position that they can't see, you see In deep blue seas There's the place where a vacation is free for me And then you dream in peace So call me maybe the ghost protocol where most of those photos of all the things I do Are used as prototypes, baby so-called clues of my new call to move where- In everywhere and wherever and with whomever and whenever which Is whosoever or whoever's whichever of whatever, for all of you Whether the weather's a typhoon in- Cluding the SoCal blues but This isn't all I do It's just that it's my call of duty On a mission for all of what's true But without bailing, balling or brawling in her suit And then failing, falling, bawling and calling and then crawling in pursuit Like some other subliminal, minimal flukes 'Cause it's done much better than those "lyrical, miracle, spiritual, individual and criminal" dudes Or bitter, fritter critiques with the use of twitters In order to refute the fullest of all hippo-critical fools and critters sitting and fitting Itching to switch to snitching about this glitch Which is hitched to renewing, stitching and gluing our fitches to truth and And yes without twitching to their witch's magical, musical flute Then in lieu of the altitude of the attitude rude of my pirate-like crew's mood Whether longitude or latitude and more than impractical platitudes I'm not as irate as I seem al- Though it ensues that right on cue in due Time with an aptitude of gratitude and exactitude in Solitude throughout fortitude or servitude, to allude what you elude and dude To intrude what you conclude with certitude in an interview interlude and now Then out of you, under coveralls to view the overall outerlude I rate the magnitudes of the habitudes it seems you take for granted in dreams and all types of things And though my soul is a hologram Hollow weight and zero grams Hero traits with a villain glam I'm The man of love and that of One of the toughest clams above Or below, I should say Like Poseidon Oh baby we ride on Or sail on, should I say The ghost of Poseidon Then in lieu of the attitude of my pirate-like crew I'm not as irate as I seem or Even irritated as they deem nor Norse, Thor or a heart of granite I rate the things we take for granted, granted far asleep Stereo-hyped in dreams with all heights of wings and Although my soul is a hologram Hollow weight and zero grams Hero traits with the chill of a villain vibe or glam I'm The anti-hero, champion of love and that of One of the toughest clams clamping it above Or below, I should say Like Poseidon Oh baby we're riding Or sailing, I should say and it's It's the ghost of Poseidon that's That's trailed night and day The ghost of Poseidon that's That's trailed night and day 'cause They say, I did it my way then they're On my tail right away On my tail right away

It's a perfect day Yeah it's made just to play an acoustic But the first one With roots with the frame of a huge stick And it's just for You it's ingrained oh with the name of The One and straight from An unpolished and untamed platonic love so here it comes A song prior to the Vinaccian fame because baby I'm A pharmaceutical part-time musical carpenter of the heart and the The first verse in reverse comes words we've never heard Like a message from the best and it's a version for the birds Where infancy's re-lived To speak of infantry's a kid And the reviver speaks Malayalam-sans and baby then he says "It's the way I am and it's my way man" Maybe you hear it Girl I humor and I do it when I want you Maybe incoherent But I'm fluent in the music to taunt you To be your pioneer Oh it's like fuses to my ears 'cause I'm deaf with nothing left But yeah the music you can hear and I lose it when I'm with you my dear so Maybe you hear it I humor and I do it when I want you Baby incoherent 'Cause I'm fluent in your music to flaunt you Oh you hear it Girl I humor and I do it when I want you So incoherent But I'm fluent in the music to taunt you

I have to admit That I immediately knew what the media meant As I grew up I drew out- Side lines Meaning kinds when you omit the 'n' so I'm sent To set askew a few lies, yes my butterfly knife flies like a feather pen oh I've been A berserker moving farther Further herding words heard for war it's forward But since before he was drafted roughly but justly Just to sink in ink engrafted ****** because he's Made for brigades who blockade it to shock it Force it shoot it and make it play its poor music to Bach it Oh face it, we rock it The battalion's out there and they're shouting I'm silent but they rattle Yeah my rabble of stallions, they're rowdy But of course, off course it is not all Norse my love because They say the other north Yeah your horizontal course turned up with a Tincture of madness And that is the one, single error and I'm glad of it If you catch it Maybe a troublemaker by nature but baby a peace speaker missing demeanor With misdemeanors when getting meaner But I practice a bit In an out-there train re-accident be- Cause the battalion's out there while they're shouting I'm silent but they rattle rapidly Yeah my rabble of battle lions rabid To vaporize vapid rabbits They're rowdy and And love is getting much louder than growling it's It's sounding much louder than growling
