Glitch in the Matrix

If you ever feel like you’re out of sync and you’re a glitch in the matrix this song. Join me for this on this weird wonderful rap ride?

Dream Glitch

A celebration, a warning, a wandering word looking for a place to rest.

SIREN SONG

A treatise and condemnation of evil men and women who send their youth to die to protect their own pride and power

POKE THE BEAR

A call to reach out and connect with people’s humanity instead of exposing our worst nature and eating ourselves down to the bone. Dust to Dust. Jesus weeps because we are worth weeping for. All of us

JESUS WEEPS

Could this clarion call be any more clear? Yeah man the carrion are here. Translated that means it’s time to fear the vultures are here :)

"Take Me In" is about breaking free from who the world told you to be and stepping into who you really are — even if that means letting go of everything familiar. It’s a journey through pain, transformation, and the kind of connection that changes you at your core. The lyrics explore what it feels like to be pulled into something bigger than yourself — whether that’s love, purpose, or just finally feeling alive.

It’s raw, emotional, and full of imagery that blends the spiritual with the personal. At its heart, it’s about surrendering to the unknown and finding power in that surrender. “Take Me In” is for anyone who’s ever felt lost but knew deep down they were meant for something more.


[Lyrical Intro]  
I stepped out under no known sky  
Beneath the ash where angels cry  
The hum of stars behind my spine  
I knew the gate would open wide  

[Verse 1]  
I lived reversed, in veils of smoke  
On borrowed vows the void once spoke  
A rose I was — again forsook  
Each bloom a bruise they dared not look  

Dove into storms, no tether found  
A vision’s light beneath the ground  
The clock is pulsing, end draws near  
So strip me down, I volunteer  

[Chorus]  
Break free, my love, don’t stay contained  
Emerge from ash, unbind the chain  
Shed that shell, ignite the flame  
Ascend with me, become your name  

[Interlude]  
So draw me near, oh, pull me deep, pull me…
Let me sink, oh, let me fall, take me…
So call my name, yeah, weave me in, weave me…
Let me drown, oh, let me drift, take me in…

[Verse 2]  
Obsidian kisses in optic thread  
Neon truths in amber bled  
Chroma filters on my skin  
Burnished soul, repressed within  

Moonlit gospel, shadow-bent  
Gilded scars on firmament  
I scream through seams that stitch my throat  
Then vanish back in ash and smoke  

I’m too alive for silence now  
These eyes see through what they allow  
Laugh, you cowards — I transcend  
Jaguar priestess, born to rend  

With kin who spark like circuits cracked  
We rupture norms, the system wracked  

[Interlude]  
So bind my soul, oh, claim me now, claim me…
Let me burn, yeah, let me fade, take me…
So break my walls, oh, set me free, set me…
Let me melt, oh, let me soar, take me in…

[Verse 3]  
I cast down gods, I fracture myths  
I offer pulse, not monoliths  
Equinox — turned sideways, wild  
Dancing through the ruins, styled  

Magma joy, obsidian ache  
This hunger makes dimensions quake  
Bloodlight bursting through my ribs  
What lives beyond a life that gives?  

Aligned with solar, lunar will  
The gnosis grows, it won't sit still  
There’s holiness in ash and bark  
My truth stays bright when all goes dark  

[Bridge]  
And you — the stillness in the tide  
The reason chaos feels like flight  
You hold the storm inside your breath  
You taught me death was never death  

[Chorus]  
Break free, beloved, burst the vein  
Let shedding skin become your reign  
Reclaim the name they tried to maim  
Arise with me — unshaped, untamed  

[Interlude]  
Oh, pull me under, pull me under, take me…
lift me higher, lift me higher, oh…
Oh, carve my heart, oh, make me yours, take me in…
Let me dissolve, let me dissolve, ahh…

[Bridge]  
And you — the quiet in the waves
The spark where madness learns to blaze
You cradle tempests in your sigh
You showed me life beyond the sky

[Outro]  
Oh, pull me under, pull me under, take me…
Yeah, lift me higher, lift me higher, oh…
Oh, carve my heart, oh, make me yours, take me in…
Let me dissolve...

Take Me In

BOTTLED AIR

Your a stoned pilot 
Alone in the violent
All too to quiet on the western front
So so not sorry 
that was meant to be blunt 
Storm the temple 
Storm the square 
Your black box isn’t anywhere 

Mayday mayfly seize the day 
Fly away 
bombs away bombardier
Somebody turn the tv up and pass the beer
Tuned in tuned out turned on 
turned inside out
For tomorrow we die 
E tu brutay?
What’s that all about?

Casting lots…casting stones
 Feast or famine
 on a knife’s edge dancing alone 
Rock paper scissors blend
Nothing begins and nothing ends

Words in words out 
Tropical depression tropical doubt
Swords sheathed safety unlocked
War and peace underneath 
All or nothing no one cares 
Double blind blank stares

Same blood same seed
Dee En Eh? Gee tee see!
Mortar and pestle
coarse and fine
Unholy vessel,  new skin wine
Man made of mud and straw
 designed Brick by brick 
God mad man
Man made fire
God Sees Man Saws
Pull the plank yours ain’t blank
Fulcrum war drum,  funeral pyre
Rebalancing the seats of power 
God laughs man mocks 
Golden calf’s serpants talk 

castles forged with parapets
Breads bare butters rare 
Share a bit?
Sharpened sticks 
 stick stick 
Bury your brother 
Quick quick
Another waves about to 
Hit
Quick wit lamp lit 
Shoot the breeze shoot the shit 
 bushes full of birds empty angry words
Better one whole speared to my tongue  
Than ten empty forks whispering none

Never trust a Jewel encrusted 
Pulling lever fools gold endeavor
Ever sold your soul to lust?
 Damaged goods heavy metal and rust
Grandfather clock Father Time 
Lady Luck and other dusty rhymes

BLACK BOX

Damn dude it’s been a while since I smiled
Damn dude it’s been a while since I tried
Stop whippin up cheap talk with cherry tops
You’ve thrown away my time.
 Period. Full stop 
End of line

Never mind never mind 
You think time connects in straight lines 
You will find you will find 
This is a spiraling staircase design 
Leading neither above or below 
ill formed notions full of divisive quotients
A reminder that the remainder
 belongs to the whole

Looping and looping 
in fractals of fear 
Taring taring tier by tier 
Haunted hallways built for dimly lit mirrors 
You hope and you hope but never see clear 
For drops of respite and cheer 
From the mouth of Elysian chambers 
Carrion to Crumble at the feast at the feast of the worn out souls we wear 

So decreed the earthen kings
and high priests
Who would say anything 
I am perfect
I am the Pax Romana peace 
A will to power 
to overpower
Peace through power 
The law of the jungle 
Getting fitter every hour 

Some say the law of grace 
Will submerge our version of disordered hate 
To the prince of peace who sublimates 
A shatter vicious system into pieces 
The prince of peace is he
or so they say
And so they wait 

I can can scarcely see beyond the emerald veil  
Torn Silhouettes and tornado pirouettes 
Tin men shanty towns and cowardly lions all around 
I see remnants of distant settlements 
Tossed with the salty hands of violence 
Section by section, a brutal cesarian knife intervention  
Until the resurrection from the dying light 

No accumulation or things 
Will ever satisfy
Why did I ever try ever try 
To find more room to store 
My man made creations by making my last humble ceiling my main pride my glass floor

This is my mortal prism
Causing this spiritual split vision 
Isn’t it warped how all these isms and schisms 
Distract and atomize 
repack with pretty ribbons 
Tied with opaque lies.
Tell us porn has no claws
I saw read every law for it was written with a clause 
 Every text has a byte
 a few won’t kill ya 
But a mega bite might  

Is the unmoved mover not moved?
Is the uncaused cause causing me to lose 
Loose faith? Lose faith? Here comes another wave of the Bubonic plague rat race 
The blame only falls on what we see, when it’s the fleas be spreading red hands through history. 

Death oh death where is thy sting?
Maybe next time  
Today I see another shiny thing 
Bright bobbles and tyrants toppled 
News flash news flood 
It’s in Simone else hands 
It’s someone else’s blood

The Lady with the Scythe

Im an external combustion engine
My two fists christen every bad decision 
So long so long 
for such a long division
My Pistons Pistol whippin like twin turbos slippin
You messed with the wrong neutron star
Lemme jimmy that lock loose till I break in 
 im about to destabilize this whole pale blue rock with this dissonant fission mic drop

Yeah man im on a mission
Impossible? Maybe?
But I ain’t trippin
Loose lip loose grip 
Spin the bottle 
Sink the ship 
My message is
The glass is half full
Whether it isn’t or it is
That’s my 20/20 revision

Nah I ain’t rizzin 
like you used to
Yeah I used to too 
Id seduce myself until my ego went cuckoo
Now I’m an unnested mind
With impracticality fractal rhymes 
Out of line out of sync

Maybe I’m master splinter 
I Never blink 
until you blink 
Now walk the plank
Hop on in the waters great 
The drinks are dank
Sink or swim 
women n children first in first out 
Unless you got money
 Money talks where you can’t walk about 
Wealth might buy you
 a few more salty years 
Bribe the grim reaper
 not to stealth you
Trim a few more hairs 
Miss a few more nears
Be a little better sleeper
But Whichever way you sail
You never gonna outlive your white whale 

My brand of fusion is a loose metaphor 
I can’t help myself it’s hard to rhyme with nuclear 
Let me be clear every bomb I drop has some truth at its core 
I’m the rhythmic chemist your breaking bad for 
Cooking up some more pure crystalline rhymes 
More than just that old 4/4 time  
After Time after time after time after time 

There’s a time for all things under the sun 
 A time to breathe your first breath 
And a time to conceive of your own death 
A time to reap and a time to sow
A time to move fast and a time to move slow
Oh no i meant a time to move faster yo
We got it all backwards from above to below 

You’re a misfit and you hate it
Unsure unsophisticated 
underrated underserved under-plated
You’re on the outside looking in
Still feel like your in a glass head case  mausoleum 
That’s why we seeing all our heroes in grey 
Nobody can see anyone’s real face on display 

Never knowing why 
you’re in this dirty spin cycle life?
 hung out on the line to dry 
Oversaturated by starving con artists painting you in unfair caricatures and lies. 
As if they care…yeah sure …sigh

The fact is your full tilted off your axis 
No fast pass no access 
Your just chillin in your minds attic 
Mind fillin with time killing asbestos 
Your just trying to do your best 
Shit why can’t I find the panic 
Keys stick hands sweaty
All your memories tangled up like moms spaghetti 
Your pushin my buttons 
Can I mute you or something?

Amen amen hey man 
time to wrestle back control 
Devils on the escalator 
Angels dipping in the pool
best guess. I’ll Wait here 
Like a fox in a whole

Crankshaft Cartel

I got this artificially intelligent limb 
Can’t help but win any conversation 
Only problem, this is my own self-absorbed  simulation
Oh lord oh lord oh lord
I’m just another pawn 
on the Kings chessboard

See ya’ll later 
I’m all too easily distracted by these haters
Im too busy being comfortable in my skin to wear an alligators 
My forced confession is as follows 
I get extra terrestrial with each impact 
Never mind it’s a hard pill to swallow
Sugar pills cheap thrills and deathly hallows 
  
I wish I knew my own victory conditions
Until I do I’ll never fold 
Go fish Imma keep drawing my cards until
my luck runs cold,
 sub zero still, just for the thrill . 
Just for the laugh. Imma sugar coat the rim  off a whim in my own ice bath 

And maybe I do find some resolution 
Go west like Frodo into the undying lands
Throw out the plan and be a foreigner washed up on your shore
Take a job as deaths salesmen going door to door

 history is manifest in Mother Nature
 contrasting glaciers
 grinding out the time 
Out of site out of mind
Distant fathers appeal in rhymes 
Topographic Lines of lesser gods. 

 Cut bank, cut rank ,sluice box ,canary in  the mine.  Can’t carry more
All mine all mine all mine 
All that glitters is not gold
Ofcourse I’m not fine

If a fool swallows his own mind  
then he may fall on the company sword 
Oh lord oh lord oh lord 
All consuming fire 
Or eaters of the dead 
Prepare a place 
For there’s just one needle left to thread

BLACKLIGHT

We all struggle to define ourselves or be defined by others.

LOVE ME / LOVE ME NOT

DEEP FAKE

I’m just dying to get comfortable 
Times flying trying to numb my soul 
I’d be lying if I said it were ever half full
Still trying something, anything to feel whole 

I feel I’m Running on empty, 
Wheel worn down don’t tread on me
Looking to heal those shortcuts sure look tempting 
I was born with a heavy crown no one sees

Im always under the table cloth squirming 
Hungry for table scraps of serenity 
Wonder why i always end up moths and vermin 
Destroy destroy destroy 

This dissonant chord keeps haunting me
Maybe we’re blood and oil 
Maybe we were never meant to be 
Delete me from your history 

You cut us in two with a serpents sword  
A puppeteer, others only fear 
Breathing air through a water board  
And I’ve has enough of it to last me all my years

They keep in me on a need to know basis 
Pickin winners case by case is
Like some runners Steeple chasing into a piranha pit 
While others race on an escalator and get away with it 

Maybe you can see I’m on my last leg
I’m not pulling yours to brag but I got it pegged 
Tied myself to the mast and flew the black flag
I’m off to new lands , a new horizon, a new day

This dissonant chord keeps haunting me
Maybe we’re blood and oil 
Maybe we were never meant to be 
Delete me from your history 

I’m prone to duck and cover every chance I get 
I got pee tee s Dee and i ain’t even a war vet 
I pray to God this is the closest I’ll ever get
Shit I ain’t even lived yet

I keep my news feed scrolling the darkest timeline 
Keep all my feelings lying sidelined 
If bad luck were  a lover I could get lucky any time 
But I would never rewind
this is my life and imma make the best of mine 

My mind races heart beats fast and then retraces 
Life keeps tell me to pick up the pace 
Wonder what they’d feel like if we traded places 
Judge, jury, executioner that’s how brief my case is

This dissonant chord keeps haunting me
Maybe we’re blood and oil 
Maybe we were never meant to be 
Delete me from your history 








Delete me from your history…

DELETE ME
