lyrics

oscillate between absurd and observatory //
outcasted allegories //
outlaw the fallacies //
faulty matrimony //
nuance or nuisance, nothing new //
predictable abusive guilt trippin //
is this what no pussy does to a motherfucker??? //

talk w ego 'cause i move w sovereignty //
blackness backdrop my philosophy //
cherry blossoms sprout from hydrant trees //
fresh sewage reefs, equivalent alchemy //
nigger babies worth infinity seeds //
breathe! //

wrote this riding the lawn of debts owed //
single wall rose inching out its grove //
got direct ties w sacrificed hope //
romanticized willingness to cope //
count devils off they troves //
enthralled by sorrow thorns in arm //
ribcage of a suicide bomb threat //
back when i couldn't stand my own scent //
ain't break but stayed bent //
ain't rest, spiraled against the stairs //
room full of sentimental airs //
shea butter and stray hairs //
insecure when the love's a private affair //
been hidden a fair share //
from panopticon stare //

found an oasis in the margins somewhere //
evading cameras not for pleasure, doldrum synthesis //
privacy's a fruitless endeavor. my pocket catharsis! //
fold under bliss! bargain w the bones in my sampler //
rather be authentic than artistic, born a scavenger //
difference between tourist and lion tamer //
if i gotta yell, accept the abyss open rhetoric! //
caress my skin softly as if i'm playing piano in the dark, crescent manhandler //
momentous occasion, a moment to rest //
as the moon goes thru phases //
watching films turn pessimistic, soul breaker //
see myself from a vantage point //
knees of a natural man, motion picture monolithic //
burn the seconds in my heart away until i'm tipsy //
