Feet firmly planted.
Eyes peering into ciy lights . My old friends had waited patiently.
The merry go round would stop.  The hurdy gurdy would stop with
Deafening silence. As if what.

As if the token was never paid.
As if the effort was never made.
As if the book ran out of pages with no happy ending.

Optional. Washed away.  History told by the one eyed griot
Who had long since gone deaf.long ago lost a marble. But could not
Do the tally.

As if nothing matters but the most recent revision.
As if trutth was a street walker working for her next fix.
As if the distortion was a virtue.

Years in the salt mines. Drudgery and dillusion paassing for
Infinite hope.  The yolk bit deep the lash was a given annointed
as saviour.

As if the piper played for gratis.
As if the contract was written in wine.
As if one side payed while the other played.

Blood is thicker than *****
Like minds meld in commonality.
The twig lays close to the branch



As if that is the last word.
As if all is wellin mudvill.
As if Casey put it over the fence.
As if.

[Intro]

I am swirlin in this pain,
with this windy clatter, now
I'm down there, in the meadow,
Viewing all the beauties, in this world
Alone, I make my voyage
Through the dark and evil night.

[Verse]

In this catastrophic situation,
I throw all my thoughts and pain, on this paper
Through and through I read em pages,
Stalking up my life in a story,
No end to this book,
I feel my body hooked with the sight of you, 'fore my eyes,
Shinin afar like a flashlight,
The outrageous memories,
Drift me away from my sanity
Is this love not worthid?
Is my heart not flourished?
I will root down to the end of this world,
To grasp you between my *******,
And revive our love story which for now is going through tragedy.

[Chorus]

I am swirlin in this pain,
with this windy clatter, now.
I'm down there, in the meadow,
Viewing all the beauties, in the world,
Alone, I make my voyage,
Through the dark and evil night.

[Verse]

In this separate scenario, I feel my heart go up to the moon,
Unlike you, I feel sad and my heart feels gloomed,
My drivin devastation makes me wanna throw you off of the roof,
To break your bones into two and wipe off that smile,
Aggravation and hesitation, leads me to strangle you, oh so soon,
****, I need to cool my intoxication and erase the hurt off of my shoulder,
Gradual fits erupt, oh you're doomed,
My blood flows through my veins, gushin' and wellin', aloof.

[Chorus]

I am swirlin' in this pain,
with this windy clatter, now
I'm down there, in the meadow,
Viewing all the beauties, in this world
Alone, I make my voyage
Through the dark and evil night.

[Verse]

Traumatizin and tantalizin at the same time,
You make me look like i'm out there, for so long,
Visualizin our cooperation and I know its nil,
Destroyin my heart into tiny bits,
The furious flames of fire, torturous and imprudent,
Microscopic bits, my heart feels like ****,
Have you forgotten our encounter,
**** you, you scoundrel !
I'll burn up my love and spread the Ashes,
You monster, break me a thousand times and I'll make you pay,
You selfish, gutless ****,
Meet me again and I'll force you to pick, between a wip or a stick,
Brand you bad and put you in guilt.
Cause i'm sick and tired of listening to your *******,
The letters and pictures scattered on the floor,
My body feels like i'm being taken offshore,
But now i'm done and tired of this stupid love.

[Outro]

I am swirlin in this pain,
with this windy clatter, now
I'm down there, in the meadow,
Viewing all the beauties, in this world
Alone, I make my voyage
Through the dark and evil night.
My first rap song. Waiting for a singer and a tune :/
I know it's stupid laughing is allowed :p

Sitting in our rental car, driving to the local lake to
Blow up fireworks.

Dad’s driving, sister and mom in the back.

Good vibes been all around, but
The Vapor's rising

Such pride had been growin in my heart
Wellin up like it hadn’t ever done

Amazing how simply taking something toxic away
Can make you appreciate the simple things so much more

A couple nights before, I saw him start slippin
No evidence needed, no smell and no sight

I can see it in his eyes, darting back and forth
Beedy, wide open eyes

He needed it

Gotta let your happiness swell up real big
For the pain to rush so hard

I thought this time was different
I had given up a couple times before
Didn’t ever want to feel this way again
To feel shame for that which I come from

I look at my hands
My face
My walk
My smile
My ****** hair
All of my **** hair

And I see him

We wave our hands like the worlds about to blow
And we need to tell the story right
Before it does

Sitting here at my grammas dining room table
The fireworks have long since blown
Getting ready to take the trip back home
From Texas to Cali

I can’t look at him
It hurts
Deep down in my belly
To hear him talk
and smile

I don’t even need to look
To know

The smile is false
And his eyes are beady

But back to the rental car
When I let it smack me in the belly

I had seen it coming
I knew it was rising

But it took the turn of his head
And that smell, and that smile

For me to let it in

The vapor rises out of that toxic pit he calls his belly
(been cultivating it for years he says)

They rise to dance as
twisted lies
from those large lips
That reddened face

I’ll be back at school soon
Leaving San Diego behind

I have to leave it rising
To choke and overwhelm my family

Feeling hopeless
And the vapor keeps rising

She looks out the window,
Tears wellin' in her eyes.
She remembers the good times,
But now how many times he's made her cry.

If he could only imagine,
How much she hurts, deep down inside,
Then maybe he could remember,
Of how his love once burned bright.

But He Lies...
He says he's going out for a drink,
He needs to clear his head to think,
But then he meets Her, Again...

Been six long years since their wedding night,
But it's been at least two,
Since he last held her tight,
And she cries...

...Herself to sleep late at night
In the pale moonlight, she gently weeps,
"I want to die",
And so she tries...

...To wrap her brain around something else,
because she knows that he will be back,
It has all become so routine.
And then the telephone rings...

"We need you to come down,
Identify this body.
He was going ninety,
When he smashed into the tree."

She could only imagine,
as she hung up the phone.
She was now truly lonely,
Though so many nights she spent alone,

And she cried...

She wished for someone to hold so tight,
To squeeze her close and tell her everything is alright.
The man she loved, died so long ago...

And She Cried...

Renegade, rebel, foul-mouthed malcontent
Abused, abandoned, discarded, youth misspent
Smoker, toker, poem-writing music maker
***-sellin', ****-it-oh-wellin', no-****-taker

I'd probably have had a criminal empire if I'd kept my course
Instead of being an estranged father and statistic of divorce
Unemployable, unstable, emotionally unavailable basket-case
Polo-shirt-khaki-wearin' fashion-victim of the corporate rat race

I coulda been a gangsta, a rocker, an actor, or even a ****-star
It woulda been easy with my childhood and my broken-*** heart
I coulda had money, mansions, cars, endless drugs, and ***-on-tap
Instead, I gave that all up for a hopeless hope and a lonely fap

I guess that sounds kinda pathetic, but even that's alright
Because it won't be long before little man yells, "Dad, let's play Fortnite!"
