Lyrics:

Boom bap
Im doing what i came to do
There’s no comparison
Im really not the same as you
And shame on you
For making it out to seem’s if
There was a path that exists
Where we could shut off all our suffering
And suddenly bliss
I still get nightmares and shit
Feels like im drowning while im taking a dip
In the pool
By the school 
Doesnt matter a bit
Biting my lip 
I been grinding my teeth
But id still say the very worst dreams
Are the ones where im satisfied 
The ones where i want for naught
And i do NOT feel lost or complicated
Aggravated 
caught up in knots
Because i wake up and thats all lost
And what is this
Lonely bliss
Cant even coexist with it
As i stare in the abys 
Suddenly feel funny as it stares back at me
Do you see what i see?
Do you even see at all 
Yall been
Spread thin 
Like aerosol
The air is all we got when its gone
Prepare to fall
Call my name on your way by
(mayfly mayfly mayfly)
But it least it wont take too long
For me
With my 
Heavy heavy heavy heavy
Head on my shoulders
Shoulder to shoulder with angelic bliss
And dreadfulness
An overwhelming obsession with getting free
But only music speaks to me
The rest is just dreams 
Perfectly cut screams
A yellow submarine
That were all in 
Jack with all the beans
But no stalk
Still talking 
By all means 
You got all the answers
What the fuck do you think 

I don’t believe sudden bliss
I dont believe in a jiva either
Or leaving neither 
Im a firm believer 
We are the dreams of a gods theater
And gods in dream theater 
And idk about you but i
m not watching a movie with no conflict

So I go boom bap
Im doing what i came to do
Theres no comparison
im really not the same as you
And shame on you
For making it out to seems if
There was a path that exist
Where we could shut our lying eyes
And see the world for what is 
There are no 
10 tips 
And then its suddenly bliss
There are no easy fixes
The road to riches 
Paved with constant disarray
Pain and bliss is the dichotomy
Got me on the rocks 
And it doesn’t even bother me 
like a hawk without talons
Or a cat without his balance
A king with no palace 
Atlas if im holding my madness
And i put that shit above me
Like look what i lifted
Now love me love me
World tell me im lovely
Grace is like a kiss 
And then its suddenly bliss!

Suddenly Bliss! (Prod. Areo)

Lyrics:
Eyyo
Areo gon make me happy rap
And i didnt feel that happy 
But you see what had happened’s that
I got an invitation 
And you know i’ll always honor that
I been seeing blurry
Like i had a like little cataracts 
Stirring hella crazy
Like im bouta go and battle rap
Hit em with my battle axe
Guillotine and make em tap
When you feeling wavy always act
Gain some traction 
We about to lap em
I dont dwell or chase 
I make it happen
In my happenstance
Happy dance 
Atta boy
Atom man
Spicier than zatarans
Childish like peter pan
Kick the can 
Down the road 
Down to go wherever 
Whatever whenever the beat tells me so
Curl my toes
Oooh im getting close 
And here we gooooooo
Ooo ooo oooo

Yooooo thats inappropriate 
Laughters how to cope with it
All i gotta say is that i always wrote the dopest shit
You aint gotta go for it 
i get to be alone with this
Onerous
Chilling in my home on the low low 
On some gopher shit
God and me converse
He been telling me the pope aint shit
Odorous 
Popery
Popes is more like ellen 
And then oprahs me
Your face look like dali
And im over here like mona lis 
Know you bouta moan at least 
I hit you in the ovaries 
Feel me in your tummy
But i happily row the boat slowly
Throw on some jazz
And i hit em with the razza mattaz 
Thats my bad 
Yea i never get like that
But im just tryna vibe
To be happy all the time
To be working on my rhymes 
As a damn 9 to 5
Life is so contrived 
So confined im colliding though
Like kaleidoscope 
Kinda dope
Tryna slide down slow 
Every slope
Feels like a black diamond though
Fine with i am 
i dont really need that much
Just a touch 
And im too much 
Tired of being passive
Passive? 
As if
Fuck it 
imma do a backflip
Land right on my ass
But you know i did it laughing
Why am i so talkative
Try to talk me down
Nah im talking me up
I got the right kinda stuff 
In abundance
Got the right ideas 
But i simply lack the funding
I can say im one with the one 
For one thing
I can see im blessed god bless 
For blessings 
Grateful for the grace
For my beautiful face
This big heart like some spark plug
Art, money, mad love
Confidently back up
All my intuition 
With the ways ive been winning
Mystic man 
Different man 
Essential differential 
which unlocks my potential
Gentle giant
I am
Silent like a lamb
But ill be damned if they damn me 
Ban me, from the party of the year 
Ill throw my own party here
And you’ll begging to be getting in
But heres the thing
You’ll need an invitation

Lyrics
(but what happens when there is a bug in the system)

And the whole worlds bugged out
Asking mayfly
Could you please get these bugs out
Got they mean mugs out
Tryna tell em that they lucked out
We can catch a vibe
You’ll survive 
It just suck right now
It’ll pass you by
Feels like
Somebody pulled the rug out
Like i was supposed to lead
But then went and fucking struck out
Shoulda never stuck my neck out
Like a sore thumb
But im sure dumb
Poor bum 
Went and found himself

a cause to die for 
To try to fly for

But by 4 or 5 when the day is done 
We can all sit back  watch a setting sun
Set our selves down watch a river run
As the fishy eat the mayfly
Every mayfly
dies 
at the tender age of 1
Never has the chance 
to ever see hes different from

Fly fisherman 
reels a big fish on in
you can teach a man to fish
But whos he got to thank for this dish 
By tomorrow does the mayfly live?
No mouth to ramble on
so they plague me
Played me like a fiddle 
Built me up like fiddle sticks
I am innocent
Like a little kid
Just a little motion sick

You know how it is
You know how it goes
Please dont stop the boat
Full speed ahead
Its the only way to go
And ill grow like an oak 
Loving life
in all of its obscenity 
I am just a little piece
Of the scenery 
Until they chop me down like a tree
leave the rungs out
Hung out to dry
Heads a radio 
I am high and dry
Tell em keep your head high
Focus on your head high
And when the flies come
Say yum 
Im a beautiful being
Being beautiful 
And you’re not being mean 
Your just stupid and thats usual 
Try to meet a faultless friend 
And its you alone
Making wishes in a well
And i wish you well 
Well well 

im open and im calm
I just read my palms
I am agile 
Never cattled
Never fragile 
Lest i choose to be
You can thrown me in that deep deep end 
And ill find a way to doggy paddle on
I am torn both ways and i outghta be
Pumping myself up
Like a bunch a clogged arteries 
Thats alright
Look how this love kept my head light
Thankful for my family and friends
For the lovers and the time spent
Nights that never end 
Replaying in my head
Tryna keep them in 
But i can never get these bugs out
Bug doubt
Feeling like ive lucked out to live
But still a little pissed that i have to exist
Im grateful for the love 
But whats heavy is the rest
I will manifest
Im the best at it
See, I dont wanna get the bugs out
I am all bugs now
Mayfly is the bug tao

Buggin' Out (Prod. Atreesto)

Prod. By Atreesto @atreesto

Lyrics:

Wrought forth
from the form with the force
Plucked up like shut up
By sun up
Been done up and
Stuffed in the crock pot on low
cooked slow
And then pulled like the pork 
Sensational 
generational trauma 
Mama 
watch how im lost in their eyes like iguana 
Look i how deal with this drama 
Caught up in dogma 
While dreaming in waves 
Of nostalgia
There’s 0nly one way to valhalla
Dreaming of dying with honor 
I’m honored to be who you thought of 
When wondering whos to be slaughtered 
I offer my flesh and my essence
But only if bested by weapon 
Hoisted my pointed blade up to the sun
Disappointed the time’d never come
Never again like that instant
Forever again reminiscent 
For everything else insufficient 
Still havent closed up the distance
Traveled for days on end
On nothing for fuel but a fools worth of zen
Brokedown goddamn it

Zens is a worthless mechanic
Walk to the end of the earth like a manic
Chanting decanting my hearts pouring out
Now now
Dont get a head of yourself
Dont let the sediments out 
Hold the glass slanted 
Stranded in endless expanses 
No question it was desolate
Decadent, 
By the time next decade ends
All of this weight that you clung to’s irrelevant 
So settle in for the medicine man 
You’ll do anything you can
For the elephant man
You’ll sit you’ll stand
Do a dumb little dance
Even play a little jam
With your delicate hands
But you still cant understand
What you still go strong for
Still carry on, 
go along
Every dawn at the sound of alarm for
Never been calm for
The comfort that you long for’s 
Was Gonefor 
long before you re born

Saudade (Prod. Atreesto)

Prod by Areo (@areobeats)

Lyrics:
I used to never ever say never
Never knowing i was trapped
I was whacked out my whack mind
I was living in a coop the whole time

I felt like i could never break
But nearly every damn day
was bent outta shape
I would slap my face
I would break my back
I would wait way way too
long try and tap
But its just too late
I would make more space
On a beaten path
I would beat it back
Just so i would have a way to get away
Lemme hear that break
And i was A OK

Im a one track mind
Meaning i would listen to one track all day
Music was the only fucking way
That no matter where i stayed
I could leave
And trust me yo

I could fit the whole world on my back
(Never back down)
(Never Never back down)
I was trapped
I was trapped
I was trapped
Im cooped up

So it really never mattered where i’s at
Like the pigeons in the back
I was cooped up
And i probably did some real uncool stuff
Lifes tough
Suck it up
What you waiting for a cool rush of love
Or a stroke of some dumb luck
Whoda ever realize
How i saw the whole world through my weird eyes.
How Im drawn to live through a limbic system
Wisdom
Parasympathetic
Breath magnetic
And release all stresses
Dont test this
body which is not hospitable
To anything defying this principle
To fuck the coop

So with one eye id glare to side
And the eye I’d pop out was the other
And i kinda felt the whole shutter
Noi kinda heard the whole world mutter
So i closed my shutters
And i pulled my covers overhead
I was clutched by an existential dread
Thats when i saw the world closing in
Thats how i really learned to begin
I was on my way i was way out
I was gonna win i was way in
I was on a wave
Didnt have to masquerade
But the world made me wait
Say id have to get paid
Or id be in someones way
I was trapped
I was trapped
I was trapped
Fuck that

And i could probably fall right off this map
(I could fall)

But whos there to blame for all that
Did the math said id better do math
Made a promise to my music
Ill be back to be full time
But the tanks full now
Its pull through time
I would never get sick of the music
I would never let go of this music
Id be too sick
I was too sick
Thats my two cents
Get a few cents and I’m cruising
I just wanna have some damn land
When i move in
I know this’ll all start moving
The world really finds that amusing
To help me out
Once i figured it out

I wont fuck with some gold handcuffs
I will only marry if i marryfor love
I will do my best to look up
to look out
And to look ahead
To a better path
To them belly laugh
While i share my bread
And thats daily yo
And yo maybe yo
These cells a cell and theses smells all hell
and im trapped
And im tapped and im wrapped up
In this rap stuff
But one day ill be free
And even a cooped pigeon sings

(Do pigeons sing?)
I dont think that pigeons sing
Crap
Even a trapped pigeon raps

Flesh And Bone (Prod. Areo \\ Morphed)

Prod. By Atreesto @atreesto

Lyrics:
There is a place between asleep and awake
Where i still lie still 
Feel like the night never starts 
And the dawn never breaks 
And im still here, still
A product of the long lost thunder 
In my still veins
Wondering if sun gon come again
Feel the chilled rain
Whispering
And im no different 
Even when im so so far from you grace
Put on a tough face 
Even warriors weep
Tryna find the words 
For the ward of the week 
Because i still speak differently 
This is a secret of the passion i keep 
Even when ive been scraping my feet 
To point where ive slow my roll to a halt
And scuff my shoes to the soles 
And its all my fault 

There is a place between heaven and hell 
I know all too well 
Feel like the light wont refract 
And my soul wont react
And im still here waiting for the the truth i hold 
To uproot my soul and to move

(Im stuck)   

A product of a long lost dynasty 
I still fear
And i still hear your voice when i sleep
You act differently 
I guess i thought youd help more visibly 
I guess i thought id burn less miserably 
I guess i saw the lines so rigidly i knew
In turn it would turn back to you 

(Your majesty) 

But it turns out my learnings not through
Not these past few times 
This atrophy 
strung up I hung on the line
So craftily crawled and my cavity and grew
With a make-shift shape-shift 
In my little spaceship 
I flew
I guess i thought id burst through mystically 
I guess it was these dreams so vividly
I never thought id yearn admittedly
I do 
 
Pay no mind to the tempest 
To the seamstress 
To the seams in this ship unglued
When the tie off came loose 
The outfit the sea makes for you
Makes you feel like a goddamn fool 
Pay no mind to the water filled boots

(But it still gets to you)  

Been waiting for the day that my heart finally breaks 
But it just keeps bumping to the …

Giving praise to the shape of my heart
And theres so much love
Take a tour of these torn up lungs 
That have long been scorn 
As a punishment 
For where when and why was born
As a wide eyed child i was sure
you could see
from point A and B
To the XY and Z
To the excised wisemind in me 
Never mind my design
Had always befallen disease 
Mayfly laid their eggs all in me
Infested with the mayfly visibly
Staying in my belly or my head
Heavy swarns of the dread



is all your fault 
is it yours 
Is it yours 
Is it your fault 
Is it mine 
Is it mine
Is it still my fault 
 
I dont know if i could stand much taller
But i heard that holler long ago
I felt the way it vibrated my throat
And came through me 
Newly aligned 
Down my spine sent the shiver
Just a quiver 
Just the shakes

No introductions (applause)
Straight to conducting affairs 
Address me
Dressed to the nines 
An intricate design
Pushed me over like a bully 
Standing towers over me in a puddle
Is this trouble am i fucked 
Felt the frision 
As the visions bubbled up
running up through me
It was up to me. 
To stand up and to leave
But I stood still 

Do your worst 
If it makes me the best
I will still praise death
Everyday of my life
I will still give thanks to the light 
Which has scorn me 
Which has blessed me
Which has kept me
Safe as i wept 
And i held me down 
When i wont stay
Still

Lyrics:
Give us the strength 
To have strength for others
To give light to our sisters and brothers
To share life with our mothers and fathers 
Who have given such a beautiful gift here to be
Give us the strength to have love for those we just meet
And to know they have love for me
Even if they can not find it

Forgive me for the times i was blinded 
For holding light captive 
And needing to be re rereminded
I am likely to do this again 
And i hope you’ll forgive me then

Who knows better when im no better
Im no better but id bet i know better than you 
I bet im no better than you
I bet i know better than you

Who knows better when im no better
Im no better but id bet i know better than you 
I bet im no better than you
I bet i know better than you

Because i never had the strength to deceive
Whatever feelings i was dealing with
I would lead with it bleed with it
So i learned that its best not to speak
And in turn learned to speak unto me 
Exclusively
id become so allusive
No need to intrude if you know who you are
you know what youre doing
Youre turning away 
never go facing the crowd 
never some face in the crowd 
For crying out loud

Illegal lane shift My face twists I shapeshifts
Body like a shoe without laces 
One good kick and the soul slips
The face turns unnoticed 

We never recognize faces
Its something they wear on their faces 
The ware on their faces
eventually all comes around
Destined for death and for homeostasis
So just be here now, right here right now
saw the world come down in your lap
almost missed it 
looking far off in the distance
For the love of your life
For a life you could love
To live for the love that is life
And i guess 
I just want the strength
to not turn away
From your gaze from your graze from your grace

Who knows better when i'm no better
I'm no better but id bet i know better than you 
I bet i'm no better than you
I bet i know better than you

In a world of chaos and entropy, truth, friendship and harmony is often found lingering in the strangest places. The randomness of incongruent forces colliding may produce a beautiful union. dischordant and dissonant frequencies given the right time, the right rythm and space. Given the ability to reverberate freely have the power to produce the most pleasent of soundscapes. 
although these unlikely alliances are sometimes difficult to stomach and harder still to seek out... they should not be scoffed at or eviscerated from our consciousness. It is incumbent on us to be open to these alliances and to be grateful for the growth that they inspire. 
we evolve from the chaos 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This piece is a longform journey in which slowly i added incongruent pieces into the overall mix, playing with the conflict between sounds. I wanted to play the piano the way that i play the pandrum. with a heavy focus on overall resonance to create the desired headspace.
the accompanied video incorporates img2img conversion using the deforum notebook from stable diffusion. I wanted the video to reflect that chaos. wherein random moments coincide beautifully. almost necessitating an intentionality. 
enjoy the ride

Subtle Keystrokes - Unlikely Alliances

prod by Prod by Areo (@areobeats)

a cautionary tale about being too stuck in your ways to make a change

Lyrics:
we only get one chance
in this life
to get where were going
and get right
and oh how we'll try
to show you the way to love
there's only one way to love
and thats through you

when the days fin ally stop turning over who will you listen to?
forced to listen to long to the swan song of a man who spent his whole life dying
not even trying to live
just trying to give the best impression
and be sent to death
exonerated by a made up story
quelled by his very telling
in the days that follow there would be specific instructions for the grievers
in two categories
cowards and believers
though it was all his narrative
he chose to share it far and wide
with great pride and hubris
he was the rubric
a rubiks cube that was too hard for you
but really just a shallow man
not much to offer
so he would convince himself otherwise
otherize anyone whod compromise his character
what a character
beloved far and wide for his ability to shapeshift
he spent his days thinking of his mistakes
and his nights trying to drink them away
he conjured up stories to make it sound like
he was the one in the right
and most of the time he could believe it

never once thought of leaving
staying would be just the justification
just enough to call it tough love
so tough that there was no love ever
he hated his work, his kids, his life
but mostly himself

and all the rest was just reflecting him
showed no respect but expects your respect for him
Rejected all advise
If it isn’t praise it’s criticism
You could spend your whole life
trying to get through to a narcissist
He’ll only listen to himself

refuse any self help

go from empty
To anguish
To angry
to empty
And dump that weakness
in the wake of those he’d claim to love.
Because he couldn’t find it
for all the claims; he didnt mind it
when the days finally stopped turning over
when it was all over and he'd finally get to get through
hed be remisce that no one miss him
nobody was there with him
nobody wishing he was still there

Getting Through (Prod. Areo)

Lyrics:
Sky all garbled  
All my marbles lost
Marvel at the Tye dyed knots 
The Rorschach blots 
In cloud shape
A loud wide wake 
As I make my way 
I Say aloud “wake”
   
Is both what we leave behind 
And how we start the day 
Shame is an acquired taste
true
So is Rot 
So I’m really not surprised to see 
My tooth fall victim to my 
Bruxism 
I fuck with em 
I can’t help seeing if I float or i sink
Now Let’s think 
     
Ive Been Crushing all my teeth while I sleep 
To a fine paste
That’s silt tooth dust  
A rarity
But don’t be disparaged 
We’ve got plenty prepared here to share 
It's Tared out, ready to go
Because you know 
I'll be waiting for a thing to change 
I never looked at differently 
A blank slate 
But I can’t even keep my walls clear 
How the hell’m I gonna think straight 
I used to think fates twisted with straight ends
Now I see it for the frays bends bottle necks and breaks friends 
I’ve been a great friend
And hold that close to me 
Let’s have a toast for me 
One of the realest mother fuckers 
That I’ve ever had the choice to be 
My ears keep ringing like the rosary
And it’s funny and it’s bitter and it’s glum 
And it’s somber and it's cyclical and dumb 
But so often what we’re meant to become
is undone by the things we think were supposed to be 
Choking me up    
Sometime you’ve  really gotta laugh 
Man Do I look like a joke to me?
One day with breath all ashes 
I will really blow smoke up in their asses 
I will say it’s all magic 
Juat a little sarcastic 
Stochastic    
I'll stoke the ashes 
The horizon clashes 
flips backwards
A few flashes
  
rains cats and dogs 
Kind of odd
Kind and odd 
an analog pedagogue  
Panics through his monologue 
Panoramic through the smog 
Hazel days my brain in fog 
Earth will be my synagogue
Head in sand 
The hand of god 
You really gotta hand this god 
The sort of land he landed on 
Where mans his only cattle prod 
Everything we catalogue
We run around like cattle dogs 
But where are the shepards?
 
We built westwards 
since jesus chist  

We'll build west worlds  
beta-test our life  
 
But tell me where on earth the sun rises 
While every Midas touch violent 
i anchor myself deep in the world 
Like new pilings
and thank Isaac 
For expressing the mechanic by which 
I hold everything so close to me

i have been doing a lot of that thinking stuff lately and wanted to share some of the fruits from the garden in my head again.

Garden In My Head

Prod by Areo (@areobeats)

I was feeling good when it hit me,
an echo i let go
its never been about me. 
And i was feeling sad when it left me,
forget me
youre never gonna get me.
 youre never gonna get me.

If i was a wound im festering
if i am a cocoon than im resting I
If Im fleur de lune than my moon flower powers will empower me. 
My mood changes hourly
my attitude is colorful enough to be inside a gallery
im souring
i don't even like sour things or have a sweet tooth
im givng up my sweetness the moment that i meet you
im not tryna blame you Id always rather blame me. 
See im fucked up now but my world is gonna change
And these words are gonna change me

Cigarettes and coffee really got me caught up in a knot and i get caught up in an awful lot, and its awful but im often having awful thoughts. I need to take a big leap like an ocelot, instead of arguing over spots in the parking lot. Fender bender renders him speechless like not today i dont need this. You always bring me down with your treasons, give me a reason these teachings never seem to reach them. Preach son preach son peace one love and the only living god is the god in every one of us, i dont claim to hold some special truth im just tryin to remind you. I was feeling so fine, just the moment that i saw you were everything you are then too

But every thing went blue blue blue when i met you. 
Everything was blue blue blue when i blew past passion
passed on your rations 
rattling the  stratospheres fears for my former years
Im just trying to get out of here, tried to disappear but that only made me clearer to me.  

Suspended belief im switching up my altitude ill change up my pace
They’re saying slow and steady wins the race 
that may be true on earth but fasts is how you get to space 
and when i get to outer space, i wont run out of space, 
then i can finally say that the chase was well worth it, 
and well that really feels worth it, its damn near perfect

I was feeling good when it hit me,
an echo i let go
its never been about me. 
And i was feeling sad when it left me,
forget me
youre never gonna get me.
 youre never gonna get me.

I'm just one drop in the bucket, but I still feel like I mucked it up, troubled by the rubble in each puddle because it's not enough to clean it up apparently, swear we do the sharing and then we’ll be the ones that never eat, cant compete, incomplete, adding insult to the injury. Guess shes not that into me guess hes looking out for you. Hanging on your clout, just to shout at a blinking screen and all of this to have my words be heard through infinity, literally living  through the literature lividly 

so look at me sitting on my city on the top of the world. thinking that divinity, means getting rid of me first. I'll let my lightwaves burst, and then disperse each color like a spectrograph, expecting that once i do let go there is turning back. Zen and then heart attack, Never feeling normal like a ratattat, trying to eradicate, things which fail to fascinate, everything is calm, right before it all disintegrates. 

And I was feeling good

Lyrics:
Lines and colors fall
As a wave
Lines and colors fall
As a ray
Line and colors fall
Im staying
Lines and colors fall
In the sweet mosaic

Stellar Telestrations
Form frantic patterns
Of fractal atoms
In stratums and
Life is born
Ive sworn my sword
To the mythic force
And I look forward 
to the risks assured
Spit a verse for the risk averse
Before you count yourself out
Better listen first
Commune with theses words
Like its church
Be your own trendsetter
Don’t fuck with the birds of a feather
It is better
to live life as beggar
than design architecture
for the very same kingdom
that left you dismembered
remember
every member of earth
depends on the tender
fruits of the truth
that we suffered to muster
there must be a next contender
who speaks with clarity
sweet sincerity
of lines in our minds

Lines and colors fall
As a particle
Lines and colors fall
And im part I know
Line and colors fall
As its changing
Lines and colors fall
The  a sweet mosaic

Sadboys wanna die till they got the virus
Childish
Then its all this crying
And oh my my
With the mileage
Just to turn this car around
With the hollow sound of an empty town
When its all online
Will the lines still fall
Nowadays everythings
On screen
TV, and LEDs
256 X 3
Matrices of RGB
Be the judge like RBG
Is this really how its  meant to be
All love when its done right
You really only care about plugs and the nightlife right
I could stare at my wall and I swear that its all
The colors that that Maxwell absolved
I'm appalled im appalled as I watch It all
But cant wash it off

Lines and colors fall
As a wave
Lines and colors fall
As a ray
Line and colors fall
Im staying
Lines and colors fall
In a sweet mosaic
Lines and colors fall
As a particle
Lines and colors fall
And im part I know
Line and colors fall
As its changing
Lines and colors fall
The  sweet mosaic

Is this the end? 
this part is the hardest
I probably seen tarnished, no polish or varnish
Ardent with my offering but postering often
Im promising im absolutely harmless
But the problem is they'd rather see the carnage
Of an artist who is part pardoned
Part dealing with the deal of being disregarded
As im dangling with this angle in my harness
It’s a long way down to the bottom
I can see that 
I been left for dead so often
And I feel more pressed than a rosin
Tough self love really taught him
That its crucial to be critical for me
So I slowly soe
show the reaper that this reaping
Is the only thing
I KNOW
That ill never be satisfied
Every if all my dreams are actualized
Given time to be fully pasteurized
Ill still feel bad sometimes
And that’s fine ill still reach higher
Its that endless desire that keeps me inspired
Theres a  lot in the world to admire
Spring may blossom
bring warmth and light
But every autumn
Ill be at the same spot by the pine in the night
with the dew and the dried leaves
Saying if I die
Let the mushrooms eat my mind
My eyes
My spine and very essence
And present me with that sweet design
Of the grand mosaic.

Im just trying to rap through all my end time anxieties

Lyrics:
Comes like wave 
And the panic is back
Lying in my bed on my back
Having a panic attack
You wanna see me relax
I need a wrap and to rap
Thats a wrap
Music aint a habit its 
The magic of the madness in me
I got my amenities
my health my self
And the shelf full grains
Meat to freeze Milk and cheese 
And even munchies
So why must i wake up to shakes
And my hearts at pace
Thats distasteful
disgraceful
A face full eggs
And yet my legs are moving so fast
Like a horse on the track
Go home 
preakness postponed
I can feel it my chest 
Compression 
The pathetic little empathetic
Can feel it in his bones 
It wont leave me alone
But it hit like a tsunami 
Please speak softly 
And rock me gently 
On this wave so grave
As a lullaby to lull me to rest
Ill protect you 
I feel so overwhelmed
Yea im used to that 


 




Let it play for me
Let it play for a minute please
Relate to me
Then take a break for a minute please 

The waves heavy
But its breaking eventually
Tide rise and fall
But know that we always belong to the sea so 
So when your tied up
Just let it play for a minute please

Lyrics:
Its inevitable, know ill feel better if I let go
Its natural, migrations of the actual soul
Hold on to hope because its faith
That will never let you go.
And it never lets you down
I been yelling so loud,
But I don’t think they’ll hear me out
Out there in the sun flare fields
Of these unfair yields
And its unclear
Feels like the sky might open up
Clouds gone
Life changes in a moment 
Everything that you thought youd hold close
Forever, is gone and then its on to something better
Mass migration to the higher now.
Channel me your ire and and fire
It inspires me
See 
Since the ides of march starts
a spark meets ignition
I wish i had vision through my cards premonitions 
But what exactly would I even really do different?
Id be Julius pimping, probably singing in my kitchen until
I am chicken meets attempted flight
Yo I got some air alright,
So busted on the landing nice
I am sacred when alone at night
Sacral to my acolyte perched on my crown
You know its hard to tip toe
With this all weighing me down 
but if these problems are water then man im starting to drown
But something about the ocean always hit me profound
So I let it surround me resoundly
And ill be Abraham man
The way I 
get outta town
But its not just me it’s a mass migration
Onto a higher frequency best believe in me
The way that I believe in me
Please 
Ive done seen all of the scenery
From the suns of god to the towers all teetering
Its an exodus and were leaving see
Whos leading us through ruins pursuing a shoe in to win
Who flew and in and threw the whole damn thing
You know it tightens my skin
Take it under the chin and
Keep winning  this is just the beginning
Stuck on a world that keeps spinning
and we never quite leave
We just head somewhere different
And its natural its actually love
The things youre so afraid of
Are exactly what your made of

Misanthrope
Getting his space has always been a mission 
Though soon as he gets it he’s 
Miserable
Mystified thought hed find humanity 
led to his insanity
Look i appreciate the misplaced nostalgia
That follows all yall while your home alone
Raucous is the the thoughts of revision 
While Steady is my poem
So i know how to manage when reality seems manic
Thoughts running rampant
I Amp it up
Mayfly never gets enough
I know how to plan through the panic
See i know how to fall 
Ill be the last one standing
When everything is shakey
Suddenly ill be the steady hand
 and 
Ill Fumbling through this guttural speech
Just to speak to yall 
Reach you all
To find a little PEACE
Before pieces start to fall apart
Come together like were brethren
Fight the despair like a gentleman 

With a lovely bruschetta and bottle of gin
I used to be so mischievous, And i miss it
Im hanging up these pictures  
Of a better day
When we werent so afraid 
But nowadays
we’ll be keeping six feet between the trust
And i miss it
Before for physical distance
It was emotional 
Most folks 
Would never know how disconnected 
They’ve been until they unplug
From the machine awaken to the dream
To see the things that gave us gold
Took away everything we know
And i miss it
I wonder if this one will make a difference 
Or if we let the dust settle 
And return to toxic living
A shift in how were thinking
Consciousness risen
Dont miss it
Dont miss it
Dont miss it

sometimes just looking up at the sky watching the clouds can be so much more magnificent to look at than anything on the TV or internet

Lyrics:
She keeps calling me 
The deep blue sky 
And you know i'm feeling fine
But if the truth doesn't matter 
It could happen to you
So you better stop wasting your life
I saw a cloud pass me by that looked just like me
Blowing smoke
I really wish that she would show me the ropes
But every time i try to float its
Here we go again
Vertigo
And these clouds are rolling in so slow
Im not even moving 
in my mind
Im on a mission though
Every waking hour that i wrote 
Kept me present 
Every time i that i chose 
To to start the sweating, and stressing 
Addressing the issues 
Instead of pretending 
the cloud are only water
What are we
with just a little bit more pressure ill be steam
Ill be free
Ill be cumulus
Altocumulus
Accumulating weight until i dissipate
So dont you wait for me
At least for just that moment ill be free
Finally me
A happy sailor satisfied
i finally had the chance to fly 
While im simultaneously 
Laying in grass feeling insane praying for the rain
Watching me passing me by contemporaneously 
Sometimes i swear  the sky is playing with me
I cant believe the things ive seen 
Like a dream through a smoke screen 
Clouds are little vessels, and the deep blue sky’s
An 8th sea in a sense
and see
i sense you you clench to innocence
With shaggy defense saying
It wasnt me 
Acting like you didnt sense it so intense
Clouds from incense leave an intense imprint
Without a pretense 
The smoke leads  to a vision so dense
I make pretend 
Until attention from this to this tension makes me ascend 
I’ll make no sense
Often offend
I run on run on sentences
Accepting that my fetish is being my nemesis
Find me in my
Mindstate penitentiary 
Where the sentence wont end
She keeps calling me 
The deep blue sky 
And you know im feeling fine
But if the truth doesnt matter 
It could happen to you
So you better stop wasting your life
There is something so unsettling
About settling 
There is something so unstable
About stability
Fuck civility, nobody but me has my ideas
or my abilities, 
So ill still smile
Because i can only build if i tear the walls down
And like a rank and file imbecile 
Id rather be safe and sound 
More then sound 
Ultra sound 
Ultrasonic phonics 
harmonics and sonnets
I promise 
to shake this earth
Like im plate tectonics
In time allotted 
The lot of us rot
Some of us plot 
To unknot the way were knotted knots
But some of us do not 
Some of us are so fraught with thoughts
That they keep the hunter out earshot 
Until its buckshot 
Deer caught in the blindspot
Blinded by the headlights
Read his last rites to himself 
Dead to rights
Spent his last night walking on egg shells
Tryna tell himself the way to excel is to propel
Yourself properly, let the mind be wobbly
nebulous down to every last crevice 
Forget it was ever imbedded with all this bedlam 
Across the spectrum 
and let some air in to breath
Its what you need. Indeed your mind is cloudy 
So let the clouds take the lead 
She keeps calling me 
The deep blue sky 
And you know im feeling fine
But if the truth doesnt matter 
It could happen to you
So you better stop wasting your life

Life will be a vague memory once you detach 

Lyrics:

I’ve got vague memories
That come to together splendidly 
Engrave me emboss me and outline my corpse in chalk
This is all talk
of
Episodic thoughts
never lost through in the directory
I,
Blend sensory 
data together Tenderly
evade treachery 
As i continue my trajectory 
Its the little pleasantries
So tenuous, tenderness is tentative
pay attention 
And the message gets repetitive
de ja vu
Is right now brand new
Easily be misconstrued 
Voodoo of the taboo
Guru while the boogaloo
News ensues  news crews
i be flying over cuckoos nest 
With a birds eye view
I eye you, and strive 
thriving on driving deprived dudes to derive truth
You hoo have got do it for you 
Too coo coo to rest
Get me some cocoa puffs
Trust 
Once enoughs enough 
They get the fisticuffs 
Call my
Bluff tough guy find out
My minds out
On time out 
Riddled with riddles
And i just figured it, a little to late
So cut to the chase, i cant wait 
If you give me a second to second guess 
And ill be settled in my new ways 
Its a new day
A new wave
A new crazy craaze
I think too vague
plaguing my mind
Half of the time ill be thinking in rhymes
Half of whats left ill be dreaming and scheming 
So a quarter i afford to moving life forward
Bored with the unsure shores
Of a life blurb blurred 
I didnt slur my words miss you just misheard
May be a sin to kill a mocking bird 
But everyones relieved to see a mayfly die



I defer  to the unheard, he(a)rd of those hurt
In a place 
a time in 
A scene i cant remember when
An unidentified task i cant quite grasp
all i remember’s how it feels 
And i feel you 
so
Venerate my illustrated fate ive long awaited 
Revere me or fear me
Trouble is 
I struggle to speak clearly
I can only speak weirdly
Too vague to keep myself from disappearing 
Aware but weary of wearing it out
Teary as i figure it out 
It tears through me 
I double as a theory 
Snip this string theory 
connected like a net
Enlightenment is death 
 you do not get
 to get out of it
Life will be
a vague memory 
Once you detach from it
Remember that?
I just remember how it feels to go back(x3)

Lyrics:
You know its crazy
This was written across the globe
But the second that it hit me
Took me closer to home
The only home ive ever known
Was in the space between these headphones
And im not tryna get ahead no,
Im tryna get my head blown
Into smithereens
So the people could see the bits and pieces
Of peace which have created me
I hope i meet maker and to makes sures
he takes that shit serious
Because seriously, my fear is that hed skim it
And trim it down to a couple matrices
Looking at my face confused as to who
Made me me
A creator breaths and conceives life
But in a way Prof. Mayfly isnt me right?
And i dont want to be concatenated
I dont suppose you could transpose me?
I get so close but never close enough
Wandering the earth kicking up dirt, and dust
Unearthing all of these versions of
A person who learns and learns but never learned enough
To know im lucky in fact
That i can spit on a track
That takes me back
To garden in my head where i go to relax
And i max in my safe haven
Where im braving the storm
A mere mortal through portal
Of the internal infernos
I sure know
Wherever i go
This is as close
As im ever gonna get to home
So thank Areo,
You already know
We on the same wavelengths
through some different time zones
So when the shape of me takes shape
When the grace finally embraces me
And im back in that space, without a trace
Of this meat body bag thats hold me back
ill Put down all of my baggage
And cross paths with feelings
Detach
and let them all pass
I feel like im me
hit the relief valves release
To shift the pressure in me
Self actually will come from self actually
Yall can have the skin and bones and arteries
You can have the skull and mind and heart and feet
You can take apart my heart
Dissect inject and tear apart
Inspect detectgo make some charts
Graft and regraph
go make some graphic art
You can rip it all apart
Till theres no telling me apart
From vermicelli
With a red sauce
(MWaH)
you’ll still never know
How it feels to be close home
We all combust into stardust
And its just so unjust
but
What if i told you im an astronaut?
Sitting on mars
in self dialogue
Wondering why i went so far
for something i coulda done in my backyard

The head of a king

I swear to god yo
They’re coming for my fucking head
I said they’re coming for my fucking head

They’ll say that life is what you make it 
But some are adorned in robes
While some others living naked
Idnt ever think it made sense
We pay rent 
On their inheritance

Thrown overboard 
While the throne goes overboard
Feudal lords
Cant you see its futile to dispute 
My  noise
harmonious
Thelonious
They’ll call us all felonious 
For going against 
A proclamation
Which just makes no sense

Then these
Governmental henchmen
Sent to self destruct 
The very place they grew up 
And they don’t give a fuck 
Because someone gave them a check now 
So they wont stick out they neck 
The second that they get
their blue check 
And feel accepted
They won’t question 
All the homeless 
And destruction 
Those locked in their home
Alone 
Afraid to live i wonder why 

No place for the meek 
No pace you could keep
To catch up
But made a blessing work for we
The royal we
Royalty 

I swear to god yo
They’re coming for my fucking head
I said they’re coming for my fucking head


Peace to every farmer 
Knight in shining armor 
With a rusting sword
Who grew up sure
The one true king is the earth
Power in this truth
They cant take from you 
If youre self reliant
Dont buy in to the lying
They want to see a realignment 
But the difference between coal and diamonds
Is pressure over timing 
And its finally time to shine

ive seem em using
Tools which in their very nature will decay
Not afraid to call a spade a spade
The call it axe and then it fractures
As they hack away 
Spades or for digging graves
But your a moron
your not yorick
Your more minion anyway 
They wanna show
Not to listen
Submissive to a trend
And tend to have no intuition
But love lecture me about intuition 
And now i got to listen to this fish in a net 
tell me about about swimming
Not getting caught
Its like the whole lots got brain rot
your chakras arent blocked 
Your calcified third eye 
Won’t keep you from divin light 
Alright 

See they dont know the meaning of these things which they are preaching 
Please give me a reason, 
To stay calm and carry on when im feeling like a napalm 
Face palm 
I will get it done 
Because i said i will
See thats what makes me credible
Spoken word is just  incredible
King is so ephemeral 
You have silk and money 
But you know nothing of the force of will 
If i said ill make it happen of course i will 
They cant get their head into the head of a king
So its  schiiing

Tread Lightly



Ooo baby 
Dont you say 
Those words 
Like that to me
That could mean 
Anything, 
ooooo anything

And sometimes i find im in my mind 
So far away
So far today 
I dont feel so far away
But that change
no
That can change me
I am not the same see 
As i was a minute ago 
Because a minute ago 
i was in a place that i didnt know
And the sea moves oh so slow
But just one waveeeeeeee
and
Here we go
Everybody want to know
Where all these bodies go 
When theyre feeling low
When they feel alone
But i dont know
No 
I dont know anything
Except how to swim
No
How to float 
No
How to tread lightly
Said i might be assertive 
Said they heard i was unheard of
Said im very hurt, only sort of
Im on the border bout sitting on the fence 
When
God lord sent his hench men
And push me under
(drowning sound)


Ooo baby 
Dont you say 
Those words 
Like that to me
That could mean 
Anything, 
ooooo anything



Underneath 
I could see
How breath 
What i need 
So afraid to break 
I could never be great 
Nobody knows your name
If you never show your face
And hell
 I know i go so hard on me
But that will hardly be enough
To level up
Doing nothing 
Look you
Moving but you stuck 
Whats the point of all this running around
If youre only going down down down
Distant now
I want to lose touch 
And to slip
And to dip down 
Dig into the underground
Nothing comes easily 
Whats so different now
You been wishing loud
Howl 
All you want 
Moon’ll never never bow
You will never back down
You the stupid proud 
You the bend 
You the never break 
You the never take a break
Just waiting to break
Into break 
Into the break down

Ooo baby 
Dont you say 
Those words 
Like that to me
That could mean 
Anything, 
ooooo anything
