Blackout nights in my car numbing the pain
Still cannot drink away my mind from me
Strayed lines, distancing, put me in my place
Remnants, a distant voice, screaming at me
-------------------------------------------------------------
Pour it out from the start and mend a broken heart
From the liars and the fools you betrayed
See it all from the lens, the vision fades again
From the higher serotonin thugs at play
-------------------------------------------------------------
Blackout nights in my car numbing the pain
Still cannot drink away my mind from me
Strayed lines, distancing, put me in my place
Remnants, a distant voice, screaming at me
-------------------------------------------------------------
My vision was dim but the stakes were high
And I wasn't fit for this kind of life
For this kind of life, well the streams run dry
And the water that ran, well it turned to ice (x2)
-------------------------------------------------------------
Cauterize from the end, the broken heart won't mend
From the liar and the fool you've become
Cuttin' ties like you said, a twist of fate ahead
From the karma coming back to hunt you down
-------------------------------------------------------------
Blackout nights in my car numbing the pain
Still cannot drink away my mind from me
Strayed lines, distancing, put me in my place
Remnants, a distant voice, screaming at me

Broken Bridges

Too clever to seize fame
You’ll never believe shame
Forever you freeze frame
Broken bridges

Don’t try to stake claim
Wise guy, you take aim
Goodbye forsake blame
Broken bridges

You may point to fractured beams
Disjointed manufactured schemes
Those that belong declare their plans
Can anyone repair the spans of broken bridges?

Just don’t police friends
They’ll break the peace when
You won’t release them 
Broken bridges

Guest musician: Steve Pumphrey - slide guitar solo

When I was little
I ran through the grass
Got chased by a lion
But I bit it on the arse
I must have been in my pram with Nunky
Safe with Nunky

L'il Boy!
Are yer safe with Mother, safe with Nunky?
You better run, you better hide!
Li'l Boy!

Run from The City
Run from The City
Run from The City

Give it back to Mother
Give it back to Mother
Give it back to Mother
Now

Neurosis (Prod. by Raf)

doing the instrumental of my friend @IPG1 powerful vocal, chill vibe, dope flow... relaxing! 

Lyrics by @IPG1
One word ————legit  started off right relax while I spit  rhymes start flowing without no script  my words don’t slip tongue is hitting like a whip My haters backing off me lickety-split  they never knew what hit them eat them up like chips  I came equipped it’s about to get lit  one more tip whenever they caught on flip the script
Born guilt free breed for survival  down with me or just another rival  adapt to society the family vital protecting the dynasty totally tribal  nothings free hand to Bible A beat a verse or melody moments that inspire me  to set the tracks on fire be routine self discovery  I am the title and the key that’s the way it’s got to be  till pallbearers carry me Enlightened yeah a prodigy constantly and harmony  Words spill like prophecy chance or probability  conceive and imagined this pages full of paper clips  binders full of rap hits solid hip-hop playlist  the hottest on the hot list tricked out tracks that don’t miss  Glad you showed some interest
Recognize the voice and face in the crowd  don’t hide skyline like I’m standing on a cloud  when I say my name I say it loud and proud  hide who I am hell no I boast  face plastered on every track that I post  the host with the most the last outpost  the attitude the approach is can’t do  Doing my best with the cards that I drew to myself and the fam I’m true blue  blessed be the vibe and my a point of view
Eat it up it’s a banquet my music my focus  delicious yeah spank it my passion my purpose  keep up or get vanquished step back don’t get nervous  is turnt up so crank it just scratching the surface  cash money so bank it a product a service
inspiring greatness go ahead embrace this keep it 100 nothing here has been wasted  slam dunking Haters Victories have been tasted  don’t get it twisted techniques unlisted  armed to the teeth my flow double fisted Who would have thought another level existed  still underground but spiritually lifted  not conflicted keep up don’t miss this versus been scripted  revised and transmitted staying unrestricted  although I’m addicted to the sound —sounds so wicked
Everyone knows the name people don’t act the same  guessing that’s the cost of fame simply surviving the game  but my aim is still the same now you can feel the flames  light it up heat it up that’s the reason that I came  drop a little off the top fresh like a barbershop Every day nonstop reclassified hip-hop —— now it’s gone mainstream the American dream  different flows different techniques different rhyme schemes  you either got it or you don’t —you got it on your dome  streaming through your headphones from your iPhone It’s so well-known I’m always in the zone  Just leave me alone audiophile syndrome  listening to my music it’s so therapeutic  I played in public tight beats on the streets —ill sounds in the jeep  at night when I go to bed I dream it while I sleep  don’t ask me to stop it—-dammit I admit it  it’s more than a habit - I’m addicted to music  guess that’s why I love it

DO YOU REMEMBER
Melody: Over the Hills and Far Away - Led Zeppelin
Solo Guitar: Brent Mason
Vocal: Alley www.Ghosthack.de
Mix, Arrangement and Production: Lillithe
Mastering: Paploviante

DO YOU REMEMBER

This was a straight forward melody I wrote some years back which I’ve never wrapped up until I came across the famous poem “The Road Not Taken” few years ago.  I found that with very minor changes, the poem fit perfectly into my melody.  So the result is this song here which I now call it “Two Roads”.
Let me know what you think & thanks for stopping by.

Music / Vocals / Keyboards / Programming – Michael C. Lynn
Lyrics – Adopted from “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost

[LYRICS]
Two roads diverged in a wood
Sorry I could not travel both
Be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could

Took the other just as fair
It was grassy and wanted wear
Had worn them about the same
And having perhaps the better claim


(Chorus)
And both that morning equally lay
I kept the first for another day
In leaves no step had trodden black
I doubted if I should (ever) come back


I'll be telling this with a sigh
Two roads diverged in a wood and I
Took the one less traveled by
And guess that has made all the differences

Instrumental

Repeat Chorus

Both that morning equally lay
I kept the first for another day
In leaves no step had trodden black
I doubted if I should ever come back

Knowing how way leads on to way

everything fades to grey
since you're gone
my silent film tries to go on
since you're gone
i got no clue where i belong
since you're gone
i am a figurine, a wounded toon
i slowly fade to grey

i lose myself in my cocoon
i slowly fade to grey
i gotta get out of here soon

i feel like losing my mind
since you're gone
the doctor says "those pills are fine
don't waste your time, get a move on!"
i gotta get away
before i'm lost in grey

i lose myself in my cocoon
i slowly fade to grey
i gotta get out of here soon

i hide myself in grey
i lose myself in my cocoon
i slowly fade to grey
i gotta get out of here soon
i slowly fade to grey
i feel like losing my mind
since you're gone
i gotta get away

Fade To Grey
