Back Of My Mind Feat. Paolo Escobar

Killing Time

--------Celestial Clockwork, Lyrics--------

[Verse 1:]
I walked into a life of tainted dreams and gumball machines
Nestled between the window seat and the drain of the main stream
Watching chaotic daylight stands thermal horizons table
Mock the moon with liquidated stars lapped from a ladle
Looking glass has limited view when you're trapped in a label
Still born's turned action figures when they're stacked in a cradle
Thorough bred disorientated from running laps in a stable
Loss of direction sparks the search for a map in the fable
Leave me to hunt for scavengers with eye patches and peg legs
Use planks to punish perpetrators so the seas will stay fed
I told that snake in the grass to roll over and play dead
When the seed of the righteous is planted in belly of hybrid companion
They fled with torn a silver spoon and lips grasped
Cherishing the John Hancock or some jock on your lips clasped
Find your own only path this is my territory to tell a story
Tailored in three pieces flag, oxygen and thesis
I'm nursed by the bosom of a Columbus compass
Since birth walking the line of life of rhyme to see which will die first
It took me awhile to realise the fact that I'm cursed
With the given gift of anointing so only the truth can be dispersed

[Hook:]
It disappoints that conjoint twins are more individuals than most
So I hunt the industry as a phantom until all my words become ghost
Celestial clockwork is an elixir
Simplifying in obscure picture
So sip the defiled mixture
Concocted by purity's twisted sister [x2]

Now the trees are more beautiful on this side of the mountain
Plush springs run in abundance I drink direct from the fountain
But the dream was opaque the stream was perfectly clear
That an acute disorder of paradise would exist if I die here
So lie down your pitch forks and raise your pins to the clouds
Till they're struck twice by lightning sparking styles to move crowds
Fish in the pond can't understand the concept of dry land
So they swim aimlessly unbeknownst to the purpose of which I stand
Don't ask a question, if you don't want the answer given
Time is an illustrious liquor if the candle ceases to flicker
Driven to a life of constant death no choice but one
Children rise from the shine hide in the shade to evade the rays of the sun
Glaciers become oceans and boulders become bevels
Icons become gods and the birth of a spawn is the birth of a devil
Individual once realized is the birth of a rebel
When I've dug my own depth in your faith rest in a shovel
The pedestal is crowed over bearing with trinkets a silver lined sink
Which drown me in sounds of de-evolution and if it's not your calling to be enlaced with the evolving of hip-hop
Then stop is the inevitable solution

[actor's lines:]
I'll work harder, Amy I'll work harder
I promise I'll be better
Better isn't good enough
I don't think you'll ever be good enough
You don't have it
I know it's a hard thing to hear
And it's not a pleasant thing to say
But it's the truth
And I'm saving you a lot of time and pain by saying it to you now
I don't want to be the best

Celestial Clockwork - Illogic

----------Lesson In Love, Lyrics------------

It was a beautiful Thursday
Sun beaming through my window pane
Then a strange rush of emotion awoke me
Eyes squint and strain to focus
Then I noticed an eerie blanket or tainted feeling
Filled my being "life walked me on yo yo string" instinct
Beckoning me to call my lady to converse
But the responses in the tele-talk stopped the chalk outlining my heart
Plan surprise visit
Get to the door
Listen before I knock
Hear a voice laughing
With your voice, I wonder who's the visitor
I knock and listen for feet pitter patter
To the peep hole
Scatter away
Youthful cat opens doors to say she's not there
"Now that's rare," I think
But I tell him 'ey okay bye"
I could tell the lie was killing him through his transparent eyes
Walking away from the domain
My thought plane takes flight
Idea after idea floating cause the happenings don't feel right
So I grab the cell, dial the digits, say "Hello"
She says, "Hi, that was my cousin, I was in the shower when you came by"
I was like, "Why'd he say you weren't there?"
"I don't know, but where you at?"
"I'm going to hit the store for some cigarettes but I'll be back"
Gave the dial tone but it still doesn't sit well
So I light the tip of my Camel
Then inhale.
Back at the crib, I get there, she's getting ready to bounce
I'm like, "Where you goin?"
"To see my Aunt that just had a kid I told you about"
"Cool, how long you gonna be?"
"Just an hour. What, you coming back to see me?"
She was hoping I'd say no but I said yes to cause some stress
We exchange kisses, "I love you's", she jets and I chill
Cause I can't dismiss this discontentment I feel
Park in a spot, cloaked by the dark, 20 minutes skip on the clock
She comes back, the shock beats my chest, anger fills the rest of me
Regretfully, I go to her door, knock and get no answer
Evil's eating away at my sanity like mind cancer
So I run to her balcony, look in the window and explode
Some cat with his lips touching the beauty that I behold?
By this time I lost my sanity
Climbed up on a 6 foot balcony
Love and hate combined by, some weird type alchemy.
She sees me, stands there shocked and scared
She was frost bitten by the ice grill of my stare
Dude bounces, she tries to explain, make sense of the lies
The pain of my words inflict, burst her heart she starts to cry
Thinking of ways for revenge, her tears encourage the rage
Internally, I'm an animal ready to shatter my cage
She comes for a hug, I tense up, flooding my shirt with pain
Looks up with ducts busted, quietly says my name
Sits me down on the couch, kisses my neck unzips my pants
Thinking of ways to take revenge and she opens the chance
Hit it for a nice amount of time, made her cum for miles and miles
Pulled up my pants with no words, hit the door looked back and smiled...
