Artifacts (All Tracks)

Pisces


IN HONEST,
thought I was grasping straws
...

I AM NO BOSS,
I come with flaws,
...

NOTHING SPECIAL,
warrant, no applause
...

IT'S JUST,
I’ve transcended these laws,
...

MY ARTIFACTS,
I hope they give you pause,
...

IN TIME,
I hope they give you cause.
...

HELP YOU,
look past faux pas
...

SEE HUMANITY,
in all its thralls
...

HARNESS FORCES,
dormant within us all
...

CREATE CHANGE,
with heart, not just because
...

SEE MEANING,
in life's parts and paws
...

FIND PURPOSE,
by inspiring awe
...

we are what was
and what's yet to be,
IN YOUR EVERY COURSE,
equally opposite force. 
...

Tomorrow

Whoa now, slow your roll,
Know life can get out of control,
And this day-to-day, it takes its toll.

I work hard and I play hard,
But I keep getting these same cards.
An ace would be nice once and again,
Yeah things were better then,
Though I'm not too sure when,
Much less if they'll be again.

oh this world takes you for a spin,
Don't know where to begin.
And these bills sure do complicate,
So 8 a.m. better not be late.
Another week and another dime,
Can't help but wonder, if I'm just killing time.

Whoa now, slow your roll,
Know life can get out of control,
And this day-to-day, it takes its toll.

I work hard and I play hard,
But I keep getting these same cards.
An ace would be nice once and again, 
again.
....
oh this world takes you for a spin,
Don't know where to begin.
And these bills sure do complicate,
So 8 a.m. better not be late.

Baby I'm not moving fast today,
But slow steps can be better than.
moving the other way,
or stuck where you began.
I'll find my light in this shade
Yeah through murky waters I wade.

cuz this day-to-day, it takes its toll,
wears on the mind, heart and soul.
so
Whoa now, slow your roll,
Know life can get out of control,
And this day-to-day, it takes its toll.

Slow Your Roll

Thank You

Ring the bell, it’s dinner time
A spark of genius, a dark paradigm
Drooling dogs, but not by choice
Programmed to move by sound or voice

Am I a dog, or just a drone?
Are these thoughts truly my own?

Tap the screen, check my place
A pocket leash, a digital chase
Drooling for likes, chasing false paces
A dopamine hit keeps me in stasis

This digital show is all we know
Sooner and later, we reap what we so

Ding, check the phone
Another ping, but still alone
Ding, check the phone
Don’t think, just follow the tone
Ding goes the bell, I've turned a fool
Conditioned for cool, now I am the tool

With every track, the dopamine flows
A circus act, we all must know

Is this freedom? I haven’t decided
Leash in my pocket, attention divided
The bell keeps ringing, it never ends
A cycle of power we can’t defend
Godlike power on a screen
Who’s Pavlov now? not me...
The machine.

With every track... more dope flows...
no promo... the product is the show...
A circus act... you should know...
With a new ringmaster in tow...
A.I.O.U.

Run it Back

They'll say it had to be
call it blasphemy
scare you with catastrophe
while I just sit back,
relax, 
and let truth attack for me.


I got love,
mixed with 
knowledge from above
not sure from where
just somewhere out there
To be fair,
I rhyme to spare
Increase your aware
just a fraction, a hair
it's just too easy
no fair
call it effortless flare
no buyer beware
Like you see everywhere
I'm throwing strikes
circling squares
see through the rips
reeding the tares. 

Here are the facts
power corrupts then compacts
the poor pay the price
be it paper or rice

The victor writes the story
legitimize their glory
to keep thy before we.
(yeah) pull the lever on meant to be.
same old story.


They'll say it had to be
call it blasphemy
scare you with catastrophe
while I just sit back,
relax, 
and let truth attack for me.

i got love

I don’t sleep to dream
'Cause it’s a 24/7 stream
I'll show you the way
Because I am the means.

We hold the dream—
not only when we sleep,
but when daylight streams,
humming behind the scenes.

The dream begins at birth—
thoughts triangulate the Earth.
To dream is to be alive—
a signal Earth needs to thrive.

It’s just—
The signal’s always cast,
it cuts in,
when you fall asleep fast,
when the ego collapses
and lets the waves pass.

But I caught myself dreaming
in the middle of the day.
Not drifting off—
just observing the wave.

A glitch in the fiction,
the younger me missed them
but with age comes wisdom,
now I build new systems.

Felt the hum behind the name,
the shimmer inside the shame,
the echo not meant for fame
but for remembering the frame.

Now I don’t wait for night.
I don’t chase REM.
I'll ride the field
until I dream with them.
[Hook – Refrain]
I don’t sleep to dream
'Cause it’s a 24/7 stream
I'll show you the way
Because you'll be the means.

Dreamcatcher

I feel patterned vibes, 
everywhere that I go.

Know my light won't hide
cuz It goes where I go

yeah they're patterned vibes
they go where I go

...
...

I feel patterned vibes...

Through the storm, I let them ride—
through the echoes in the tide.

In the sun, I let them run,
warmth for all sides.

yeah I know what I know
even if they say it isn't so

because I feel these patterned vibes,
they're everywhere that I go.

Steeled through time, I found my rhyme—
Woven in threads of mine.

yeah I know what I know..
even if they say it isn't so...

Frequencies in relation,
Tuning your station,
With patterned vibrations...

Patterned Vibes
