...Lept into darkness
To escape thought
...Or to erase it all
But then awakened
Alarmingly naked
And Lost
Total Insaneness
I thought I had escaped this
...Place where I fought
And sloughed deeply anguished
This is not okay but how do I say this
I've got a lot
to appreciate
...that does not take away 
what I lost
And who I lost and what it cost
It was a lot
And I still see their faces
every day
It's a lot
In every way
And it fills me with pain 
That words don't explain
Since eulogy came
Though mine unattained
Still seeking the rain
Or tender embrace
...A canopy
Not Insanity
It's damaging
Examining
This famishing
Brandishing 
Of death
On a human being
I once knew them musically
...Lets call them Anna Jean
For sanity sake...
While my humanity breaks
But to be honest
I fake it to make it

...Smile placement

Grief (Anna Jean)

Something's got a hold of me lately
No, I don't know myself anymore
Feels like the walls are all closin' in
And the devil's knockin' at my door, whoa
Out of my mind, how many times
Did I tell you I'm no good at bein' alone?
Yeah, it's takin' a toll on me, tryin' my best to keep
From tearin' the skin off my bones, don't you know
I lose control
When you're not next to me (when you're not here with me)
I'm fallin' apart right in front of you, can't you see?
I lose control
When you're not next to me, mm-hm
Yeah, you're breakin' my heart, baby
You make a mess of me
Problematic
Problem is I want your body like a fiend, like a bad habit
Bad habits hard to break when I'm with you
Yeah, I know, I could do it on my own
But I want that real full moon black magic and it takes two
Problematic
Problem is when I'm with you, I'm an addict
And I need some relief, my skin in your teeth
Can't see the forest through the trees
Got me down on my knees, darlin' please, oh
I lose control
When you're not next to me (when you're not here with me)
I'm fallin' apart right in front of you, can't you see?
I lose control
When you're not next to me, mm-hm
Yeah, you're breakin' my heart, baby
You make a mess of me, yeah
I lose control
When you're not here with me, mm
I'm fallin' apart right in front of you, can't you see?
I lose control
When you're not here with me, mm-hm
Yeah, you're breakin' my heart, baby
You make a mess of me

Lose Control

[Intro]
Ooh-hoo ooh ooh ooh ooh oohoo
Ooh-hoo ooh ooh ooh ooh oohoo

[Verse 1]
Ain't found a way to kill me yet
Eyes burn with stinging sweat
Seems every path leads me to nowhere
Wife and kids, household pet
Army green was no safe bet
The bullets scream to me from somewhere

[Chorus]
Here they come to snuff the Rooster
Yeah here come the rooster, yeah
You know he ain't gonna die
No, no, no, you know he ain't gonna die

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
Here they come to snuff the Rooster
Yeah here come the rooster, yeah
You know he ain't gonna die
No, no, no, you know he ain't gonna die

Walking tall machine gun man
They spit on me in my home land
Gloria sent me pictures of my boy
Got my pills 'gainst mosquito death
My buddy's breathing his dying breath
Oh, God, please won't you help me make it through

[Chorus]
Here they come to snuff the Rooster, ah yeah
Yeah here come the rooster, yeah
You know he ain't gonna die
No, no, no, you know he ain't gonna die

Flat Earth Attack [E]

Neck to the Feet

[Verse 1]
boot to neck
scoop your breath
assume the rest
sexually left
baron
...find me caring
psych
it's a trike
not a bike
it's cyclical
i'll lick the bowl
i'm kicking flows
like
it's lyrical rice
krispies
hear the snap?
the crackle and pop?
as i drop the spherical obilisk
knowledge is not what you college kids possess
sorry not sorry
get shark week's deep sharted
i farted and sneezed and imparted
a carcass of cheese carteled
up my right nostril
i'm fighting hostile
nightly gospel
and tiny tacos
for you whiny pacos
i'm winding god smoke
up my left nostril
i'm the best asshole
wrestling
elements
carefully
tarrying
as i carry the beat
i'm aware of weakness
cringy beef shit
but that only feeds the demons...

[chorus]
i
see
you
need
me
so
its so hard to believe
you
would
be
so 
goddamn fucking
hard to achieve
i need to think
a moment of peace
far out of reach
you're star over seas
i'm starting to think
you're learning to breathe...
...
you
see
i'm
not 
what 
you 
see 
im thinking clearly
dear 
sweet 
disease
my fears 
are all at ease
mental exceeds
subliminal needs
and temporal beings
exampling flings
temperature heat
your answer: "let's be"
[chorus]

[chorus backup]
hey
you
what
are
you
going
to do now that i have 
left 
you 
boo
you 
left 
me too what's left to lose
hey 
you
i 
know
that 
you're 
feeling it too
feeling the bruise
feeling confused
sealing the wounds
kneeling by moon
reeling at dude
he's killing the tune
willingly rude
and filthily exuberant
a losing bet
losing his head?
i'm only loose in the bed
yeah i spewed what i said
lucifer's head... 
will entomb the dead
wedding vows said sour
need a lead tower
to erect ours
i'm dead...
God devoured...
help
I'm powerless
[chorus backup]

[Verse 2]
so let's eat them
hungry hippos
told u i spit the most
i'm original
cyclical
but i said that one
extra fun
with excessive guns
next two 
get excused
i wreck dudes
and affect producers
i'm especially future
...istic
you're a tube of lipstick
glued shut
so let's glue the mutt
and the pups
and the runts
and the aunts
and the needs
and the wants
i need to flaunt
this ambition
simply kissing
equisite biscuits
equivalent
to a woman's peaches
reaching
where's the one
i'm at lunch with lunch
punching munchkins
suckling muffins
bubbling lumpkin'
i'm bumpin'...
...are you crunchy
like that bitch Suncheeks?...
Can I call you a bitch none please?...
That would be a'much touching...
One Love, Babe 😉
Peace ✌️
Get blushing

Neck To Feet [E]

You Never Wanted Me
(Live Wire - Anabolic Beatz)

i'm taking it back and i'm making a movement
you're taking a nap and you're fake in your music
a brainless contusion
i'm faking my snoozing
hate that you're losing
but you were made to be stupid
...human
are you fuming?
is it soothing?
get to moving
is it groovy?
...
fuck you smoothly
i spit mad rhymes 9 times out 9
...it's divine
leaking spine
al fluid
finding lucifer's
doofuses
entombing
their futures
ima creature from the deep
interrupting your speech
watching you cheat
beating it
in the heat
of the moment
acting Romanesque
catching omens
it's the best
statuesque
lattice breath
i'll have the saddest death
where's there's nothing left
something met
me inside
my mind
and kept
trying
and prying
bet
its dying
in there
and scared
all alone
im not home
...are you there?
it's me
your only
hope 
...left
so smoke the sesh
i wrote what's best
...you know the rest
so sit back
kick back
let's get lax
it's Jack...

[chorus]
you never wanted me
you never flaunted me
you never heard of me
you never hurt like me
you never killed a being
you never killed the beat
you never willed the weak
to kill their wildebeasts
you never sealed the thing
you nearly smelt the ring
have you ever dealt with me
have you ever felt this heat
have you ever felt defeat
now you're standing next to me
i'm writing your effigy
should i write here Bethany?
...
impact
reach out
teach them
sync now
...win some
lose some
where's the draw?
i'm the battle claw
...meeting rattle paw
in the saddle
...they skidaddled off
[chorus]

sad ol' sad ol' story
kinda boring
i'm snoring
let's go exploring
i only want another chance
to advance
at the dance
in your pants
get locking and pop droppin
or stop clocking, Lance
Shaq O'Neille owes my bills
I'm mad often
Last coffin
For these trap losses
...Can't stop them
Tap topping nasty garbage
Embarking
Unseen territory
...Scary story
...Very gory
...But I'm very horny
Last warning
I'm fast pouring
These glass oranges
...Mass carnage
With Maggie farming
The wrath is forming
...And at last it's storming
...at least I'm learning
...I hope
...whatever, get smoked
...and light the bowl
...if you know
what's good for you
i'm good for two
plus two squared
twice (that's 32...)
nice and true
wise and caring
it excites
...you

You Never Wanted Me [E]

No More Love

no more chances
no more answers
no more last words
no more dances
no more love
no more light
not this time
lost my mind
not in prayer
if God is there
let him hear
and despair
all i hear
is dead air
are you there?
im not here

I'm not here
It's clear
But you barely
Cared
I'm fairly
Dead
Here
Sharing
Awareness
Carrying
Unfairness
A werewolf
With the hoofs
Of a bear
Shook stairs
Looked
And stared
And the books
I read
And said
It would
Have been
If it could
But it wouldn't
Should have known
Who wouldn't?

no more chances
no more answers
no more last words
no more dances
no more love
no more light
not this time
lost my mind
not in prayer
if God is there
let him hear
and despair
all i hear
is dead air
are you there?
im not here

it's me...
I'm here...
I'm weak...
And in fear...
I'm diseased
And impaired
For weeks
And I'm scared
It stinks
It's unfair
All the cheats
And despair
Who was there
For me
When I was snared
In defeat
Or weak
Better beware
The demons
I'da leaked
Outta my ears
Seeping
In the air
Seeking
You barely there
I saw you weeping
They were careless
Unaware

no more chances
no more answers
no more last words
no more dances
no more love
no more light
not this time
lost my mind
not in prayer
if God is there
let him hear
and despair
all i hear
is dead air
are you there?
im not here

you needed
relief
i heard it 
in your speech
you gave me
but a week
to prepare...
i need a shrink
or a prayer
or a drink
or a spare
me
to think
of something
to beat
these demons
that are reaching
for your ears
to sink in
and drink in
your cares
until weakened
you need a
priest or
teacher
but i'm not here
and you aren't either

no more chances
no more answers
no more last words
no more dances
no more love
no more light
not this time
lost my mind
not in prayer
if God is there
let him hear
and despair
all i hear
is dead air
are you there?
im not here

No More Love

tough subject
but what's up with it
let's get down to it
who I've upset
and why
and what to do about it
an earnest question
but within the lesson
i begged the question
what do i do without him
and without her
when i miss them
and then it occurred
reflections
staring back at me in my pain and misery i see 
that it was all reflections of me
something that i couldn't see
love hidden so deep'ly that it creeps me out now
beautiful to see my loved one in my enemy
or a friend in me that I would befriend kindredly
then again
how could this fortune have ascended to me
undeservingly endowed with the simplest things
evoking vows within me
like wow
stoking towers of feeling
boasting power clearly as honesty arises
honest surprises 
raising the ceiling
it was glass alone
but the massive stone shattered bone
left tattered and alone
all that mattered
the sword in the stone
as it was captured and thrown
at the disaster I posed
a master arose
and laughter exposed 
the tapestry's coat
factors unfolded
naturally I molded
certain dances 
while cold
have shown
roads
while lonely
that lead to gold
solely
...so I'll go
...faster
Than the last chapter
Evading disaster
Blazing herb to ash
No mirrors I'm after
No enemies
This time peacefully
Seeking balance over weakness
And lasting
With meaning
Seeking deeper pastures
Grass and dirt
For the harvest and the reaping
'til my last earth
Maybe in the reflections of my past hurt
I can deepen my last verse

something happened
I'm not quite sure the impact
but it was traumatic
and lasting
she passed unnaturally
...the sad thing
drastic lengths
exacerbating
lacerations
lashed and beat
conversation still 
volley word uphill
to the falling will
as an homage
and set free 
the soul of the killed
peace
we'll see you on the other side
and chill

here i am again
staring down the mirror
embarrassed again
lacking character
a friend to nobody
sad to nobody
but sad and lonely
and it's sad, honestly
easy to sit here and write about all the wrongs and the rights
but to acknowledge deep inside what I've done is beyond this song's plight
right?
wrong.
it's time
to put right to wrong
and ignite us all
with light 
in time
justice for my iniquities first?
please
i thirst for a justice less diseased
singularly focused on me?
there's got to be
an altruistic being
or an alchemy
that would vouch for me
evolving
honestly
truthfully
ruthlessly
beautifully
humanly made
it's worth aspiration
whether delusion
or indubitably displayed

something happened
I'm not quite sure the impact
but it was traumatic
and lasting
she passed unnaturally
...the sad thing
drastic lengths
exacerbating
lacerations
lashed and beat
conversation still 
volley word uphill
to the falling will
as an homage
and set free 
the soul of the killed
peace
we'll see you on the other side
and chill

The Other Side

Vetted

we’re taking it back and making a movement
you taking a nap and fake in your music
aching and bruising
shaking the loose ends
hate that you’re losing
but made to be human
fate to be ruined
frayed at the noose ends
afraid to be chewing
tougher steaks 
the buckles break 
for chuckle’s sake
suckle snake 
you knuckle me?
get cuckold shamed
fuck all day
yourself, hurting you worse
flourishing virginous birth
your learning curve
is circular
nourishing verse
is my purpose on earth
discouraging words
gets purged in the third
surf and turf
version nerd
serving courage to serpent
sermons unearthed
in the turns of the verbiage
kernel to bird
we burn all the herb
fertile dessert’ll put squirtel to work
i hurt all the twerps
overt absurd a tone heard over dope words wrote
a bowl smoked to invoke cures
soul nerve extoll with gold in verse
soap turds gets votes first
toke is earned with a cope incurred
focus firm not to blow the term
notice and learn so you’ll know that it’s perm
furnace and worms inferred with the sperm
squirming in vermin inserted to churn
certain as any there’s a new disease
and a new deceit
im looking for none
they mistook it as fun
run

Vetted [E]

Carpe Diem

embracing the day sharing this vision
a sight to behold way beyond all the cherry picking
careless listening
something to vibe out to
when all your friends have left you’re left with what’s inside you
erasing the pain to bring clarity forth
accepting the anguish to move clearly forward
toward the newer inches
a new way for the newer fishes
to swim toward
today’s excuse to get baked in the booth to a newer cadence
fewer vagrants persue cruder sadists
newer pages imbued by the lewdist ancients eludes
the pages are new
the story still unfolding
consoling the ash and that dust surrounds you
scattered by the gentle breeze that now shrouds you
picking the pieces of the phoenix off the floor
breathing life centrally like never before
a calm submission to the storm….
alarmed by the serenity eerily north
callous to the failure
success the new outlet
steering the course with no doubt left
the newer shit ain’t out yet
you can’t count yet all your eggs up in one basket
fear rehabilitation while they’re on the racket
flagrant energy, i won’t match it
another reason to live another season seen easily
weed breathing and dreaming
the meanest greasy scheming on the stanza, the call a response to the question seeking answer
keep your cancer
here?
we’ve got unlimited kidneys and pandas
chimneys for santa
and beer
obscene bonanza all year
don’t be left without it
a scene easily the best that’s touted
im a mess without it
can’t do a sesh without it
herbal remedy is giving me an extra out then
transitional clout with
transactional value impacting the sound through alan guth elastical balance views
vacuums of found youth found you
yeah you’re found too drown dude sipping down mtn dew
a mountain grew around and out of you at altitudes out the roof 
of soundproof scouter view counter tubes
