Slide Into Perdition

Should I find myself crawling on the desert 
sand blisters on my belly
blood on my hands
and should I part my lips
the dust of angels escaping
...as chance
and I'm crying out to god...
to take me home
cause this is all too much
and my tears only go within
when my well runs dry
but god takes a knee...as she whispers to 
me...U must continue to try...for as my
child...U becomes We
by and by
by and by baby
by and by
yea
and should I find myself feeling low and weary
I pray my lord will let me see U clearly
yea cause
she whispers when ur lying
and she holds up a mirror when she
knows U been trying
and she speaks in the quiet and says
U must continue to try...for as my child
U become We...by and by

U Becomes We

O well...we can all see the open door
and maybe...some have the pedigree
to step beyond the entry...but I...
must inch my way...each step a war
that keeps my feet in clay
yea
and I stumble as I reach for the threshold
the seal of worlds to break away
one more step I take...crumbled cause I'm
made of cake...eat me up
and shake my bake
Imma world quaker
shake a baker
looking for a early victory
cause Imma world waker
yea
can U taste my mystery
O my haters
yea
can U taste my mystery? yea
we can all see the open door
and maybe...some have the pedigree
to step beyond the entry...but I...
must inch my way...each step a war
that keeps my feet in clay

A World Waker

I don't believe U understand that its O so 
fine...cause U know U can
and I'm just rolling along
yea
searching for the exit from this crazy train
babe, yea

and I've been coming up daisies in a newly mowed field...prayin for the crazies

One with U as U would be 
one with me...yea

and I don't believe that U understand

and I'm just rolling along
searchin for the exit

I coulda been tighter in the door jamb
and the cracks...held on a lil longer

slid into perdition
and babe...I'm settin to wane not to wax

To Wane Not To Wax

Somewhere in a room that has no walls
where the wind can still get in
and time's at a crawl...there's a mother humming softly
lookin worried lookin tired
as she tucks away her baby
and stokes the cold fire...yea
she's been cryin in the dark
cause her flame has lost it's spark
and the hunger in her belly
feels like sin
yea
and who wags behind closed doors
telling tales to warm old wars
pointing fingers at misfortune
prideful at their wins
yea
feels like sin
yea
feels like sin
and she's been cryin in the dark
cause her flame has lost it's spark
and the hunger in her belly
feels like sin
yea...lookin worried...lookin tired as she 
tucks away her baby
and stokes the cold fire...

The Cold Fire

I take my showers in a lightnin storm
cause...my faith is never torn
O so I offer up a shot at ur concerns
and yea I am certain and if my higher me
wants my life to be...snuffed out
then there's the tower facing downward
got no service...to turn my world about
yea yea
and I'm finding myself down for the count
O yea
but if I submit my word
plead my case and lay it straight
and spirit weighs a feather 'gainst my heart
'gainst my gate...
whispering her love
and blessin's upon my fate
so...I take my showers in a lightnin storm
cause...my faith is never torn
and tho it may seem brazen...to put my
life at risk
but if my time is shot
then I'm givin it to god
O
and that's it...
give my life to god...O

If My Time Is Shot

I have come from my home in disharmony
and the notes of sour accent follow me
...like lost puppies...
and I have run like the lion to escape 'em
hunkered down as a gator 'neath the reeds
but all I've done is mire in the mudflats
infecting open wounds while I lick and bleed
and in the distance...upon the stagnant stars
there sits the gods anointed
amused at a life so hard...
yea...I drag my tired ass to the land of plenty
plant my seeds like a wild card...yea O
and I have run like the lion to escape 'em
hunkered down as a gator 'neath the reeds
but all I've done is mire in the mudflats
infecting open wounds while I lick and bleed...
yea and don't mind the sounds of laughter
nor the scent of nicotine
for I have bed with the gods anointed
a reflection of U and me

Lick And Bleed U and Me

I have come to accept that who I am
tho intriguing and oft beguiling...
but beneath it all...is just me wilding
and that scares U into tribaling...to
run me off or keep me chained
and tho ur ignorance is false witness
in this U are ordained
for U are quite common in a world
where nothing offered is a wicked gain...
yea
so U keep me chained...
but I caught fire and burned 'me' down
turned to ashes...and reborn...am found
but I'm not tamed....
no, run me off?
try to keep me chained. yea babe
ur a touch insane
yea run me off or keep me chained
yea babe
in a world where nothing offered is nothing gained
where U remain...wearing ur own chains

Ur Own Chains

Breakdown brokedown...everything is broken down
like a dream decayed and falling away
while I must go on...un- missing yea
and I had a vision, babe
so sorry to know how ur going
but I'm getting back what you've stolen
but O
ubtil then it's all...breakdown
brokedown...everything is broken down
and I must step aside
cause there's nowhere left to hide
I gotta take a stand
and dear god...won't u lend me ur hand
for I must endure
yea...just looking for a chance to land...yea
Breakdown brokedown...everything is broken down
like a dream decayed and falling away
while I must go on...un- missing yea
O
cause until then...
its all breakdown brokedown...everything is broken down

Broke D

My day started off with ten toes and 
ten fingers...but as the shadows got longer
I became the gunslinger
and like a wolf in the way
I got labeled a stray...but if I bark
you'll note that I get bigger
yea gunslinger
no need for ammunition
cause the gun I strap and carry
is a whirlwind and a dragonfly
with a high born vocabulary
so back my some-time winner
enter now...the gunslinger
and every establishment I grace
is on a list for god's case...
yea...I may leave but judgement will
linger...in the life of a gunslinger
yea...like I said
no need for ammunition
cause the gun I strap and carry
is a whirlwind and a dragonfly
with a high born vocabulary
yea I move in mystery cause
only god knows where I'm supposed
to be...and its my job to listen
...and agree
and like a wolf in the way
I got labeled a stray...but if I bark
you'll note that I get bigger
yea gunslinger

The Gunslinger

roots of these trees

She said rehab was for suckers
and a waste of time for me...yea
I kinda agree...but, now hear me out on this
is this not an intervention
when all the woes that I mention keep
coming back on my feed...
yea baby...
even in my tarot reads...yea
and how could I ignore the very question
I came here for...
and all the voices in the wind
O while rehab ain't necessary, I sure
appreciate the anonymous emissary
lettin me call out again and again...yea
and she said rehab was for suckers
and a waste of time for me...yea

Not An Intervention

Today I am imbued with the palor of ur cruel
for upon the wall I hang...yea
for the turning of the screw
and if I were a stone...I'd be nothing but
a tool, yea
cause all I've ever known...gets me judged
by a fool like U
go on baby...turn the screw
and if the one has turned U on...then go ahead and turn two
yea baby
cause I'm just a fool...like U
yea and lately there's a crowd
came to watch this witless duel
yea...while U humble brag ur grievance
with the turning of the screw and
I'd be nothing but
a tool, yea
cause all I've ever known...gets me judged
by a fool like U
go on baby...turn the screw
and if the one has turned U on...then go ahead and turn two
yea baby
cause I'm just a fool...like U

A Fool Like U

🤟🏼Working on new patterns and techniques in composition, production, and performance of both instrumental(classical/acoustic guitar) and voice- pieces are built (loops and beats)..on BandLab @nyla_k00  and Soundtrap (new)

I have removed the (amp) tag for consistency in distribution- acoustic pieces I perform will be tagged as ‘acoustic’ (apologies for page reorganization)

TBH, I aspire to be a guitar 🎸 but I’ll settle for being able to play competently what I hear when I write...(one day, Alice...to the moon)

I study under Duncan L. Wood and am grateful for his guidance and patience. Most of my influences are Folk/Blues/Indie, but inspiration arrives in many forms so HT to Hip Hop, Rap, Classical, especially Chamber trios. Current tracks are first cuts and I may update them in the future with cleaner versions, thank you for listening as I learn.
