Blessed Oblivion

A tribute to my favorite rapper of all time. Tupac Shakur

So Many Tears (Tupac Tribute)

Featuring: Meg (Snowball) Hinton aka Walter’s Baby aka Avalanche aka Marglette 

Silence stalks the space between these years that pass like merely dreams, an awkward stare that burns and stings, and words we dare not exchange, for now 
I wear a crown of vulnerability, there’s this sinking fear that something near’s completely disappearing,
A light that once shown so bright seems to be quickly dimming, so much for love, too much for love, enough of lovers….

Dim (teaser)

Grace me with your presence, please 
and put my mind at ease 
don't drift too far away 
don't vanish in the void of pain
For another day
Don't drown in tears
Conquer your fears 
But keep in mind 
you have to be afraid before you can be brave 

tragedy is bound to happen
No one wants to be abandoned 
this vicious cycle of survival
Let me remind you it doesn't define you 

What makes you weep won't make you weak 
There's nothing wrong with being vulnerable embrace your dreams with open arms
so you can sleep with no alarm 

Grace me with your presence
Don't leave me abandoned
Hold me a little closer until this storm is over
the dream of life Is precious 
affection is infectious
let's leap blindly together
immersed in bliss forever

Au Revoir)
Say hello to the ocean, 
wave goodbye to the sky for now,
Ebb and flow with the current,
 gently tug by the tide, 
sand and salt sting and stain,
 the morning sun makes the foam shine, surreal scenes and pastel dreams, shimmer over the horizon, 
live to love and beloved, 
deeply missed, forever cherished, 
tragedy arm in arm with grief,
I’ll always see you when I gaze out to sea
(Au Revoir) 
Say goodbye one last time,
a private mass held at midnight,
Bid adieu and salute,
into the waves, swallowed by the drink, relax, recap, and relapse,
seldom is life fair,
capsized into the riptide,,
There’s mutiny in the air tonight,
 I promise I will find happiness where it exists, a silhouette dancing in the sky. Mother is God in a child’s eyes!!

Whittle Gui (Dearest Space Brat)

Written by Me
Produced and engineered by Rikio Matsunaga Foster II and Malvo Mac

Poking around a psycho's head,
You're bound to get poked back,
You made me think that I was somebody else, and now there's no telling what in thinking...

Are you just trying to appeal to my narcissism? 
I spent so much time trying to be someone else, that I can't remember how to be myself,
It's decidedly inconvenient,
Who was I then, what am I now?

All I heard was my heartbeat,
Dim but fast,
Not unlike footsteps fleeing in silence...

Somebody got inside my head,
Moved all the furniture around,
It's not so easy to shake something when it's already got underneath your skin...

You're more infatuated with the monster ? than the man ?,
A delusion disguising reality,
That's what I let let me slip away

If you feel implied to take a step forward, then just take a step back and watch me lose my mind...

(chorus)

Isn't it truly amazing how many organs the body can offer up, before it really starts to suffer?

proud of this tragic love song. I was in love, damn it!

Tornado Watch

love less, emotionless sex at it's best...or worse.

The Well

she was as beautiful as she was twacked out. I helped her detox, we broke up and she relapsed.

Hay que tomar la muerte como si fuera aspirina

safely lost in lingerie,

come play with me in my daydream,

patterns of lust create a maze,

hope is trust as love is made,

legs that go up, all the way, to Heaven...

racing hearts and eager eyes meet,

tender words are whispered so sweet,

tongues that touch and melt into each other,

smothered in a pink parade,

curling toes and corset strings,

teeth that bite and leave a ring of pleasure...

lips that wrap around the neck,

hair that swims around the bed,

heavy breathes from heaving chests,

holding on for dear climax..

Now that we're alone in this limbo,  don't let your hair grow too long
I'll sacrifice my racy life just to spend a little time, alone, with you
I just wanted to be alone with YOU!

Alone With You

come unraveled in this moment before it's lost,

a cigarette will solve all of your problems,

do you get aroused when I get angry?

does it turn you on to see me lose my cool?

 

riddled with intellect, the tiniest voice has mastered the art

of pissing me off,  teasing my temper, exploiting my anger 

while wearing my words like a razor wire noose,

are we choking on the syllables of verbal abuse?

I don't wanna be the sorry S.O.B. that's gonna find you

raped and murdered in a ditch,

I'd rather read or hear about it on the news...

...on the news...

..it's the year of the noose..

razor wire noose

 

If I were you I would just...

 

Relax

AndPrepareEmotionally

 

It's just

extenuating circumstances

Sentimental

second chances

Beheaded by

heartfelt trances

 

It's all the same to you

It's just a game to me

You're just a game to me

You're just a hobby for a guy like me...(I know you like what I did there~Shout Out!)

Razor Wire Noose (rough mix/scratch vocals)

    In a climate where an artists work is cheap and singer/songwriters are summarily shut down like obsolete machines, Rikio Matsunaga Foster not only bravely embraces these roles; he redefines them. Over the years this prolific wordsmith and composer has given the world quite an impressive catalog of challenging yet graceful material. At the heart of all Rikio's work lies a need to explore the art, himself and the world around him as he sees it, regardless of popular opinions or trends. Whether the topics are whimsical, mournful, angsty or simply exercises of will, the songs never come off as contrived or formulaic and are always presented with honesty and steadfast integrity. Crass yet witty, brutal yet tender Rikio Matsunaga Foster is a unique artist who truly is cynically charming.
