Pseudo American - 69
03:22
|
|||
|
unceasing nag over a little drag
no 1/4 of an inch, sticking 2 it turning stiff
once in a while, minimal compromise
a bit of commotion, no given cause 4 alarm
-
spare me the d’tails, scattered all over the map
gypsy lass, vudu i’s, playin’ 69
=
show me how, i need 2 know!
inside the cage, wishing 2 escape
shocking waves, shaking the ship
looking 4ward 2 that place, where the past is just a shade
-
bipolar attraction, non conforming 2 the frame
pushing as far as it bends, close enuff 2 taste the fringe
fretting about, the strings 2 unbind
checkmarks on pad, 1 more thing 2 take into account.

EM3W - U don't Say
03:58
|

|
u don’t say, but i can tell u want a piece of it
ur lips r sealed, & turnin’ blu
is not ez, 2 peek & choose…
cut 2 the chase, got u under my skin
a little song & dance, so the rain won’t go away
2 make my move, waiting 4 a chance
-
plain 2 c, u don’t know what 2 do
lost & alone, with no place 2 call ur own
juicin’ down on the floor
some would may, but i’ll prefer 2 switch the bait
in & out… can only take so long
after awhile, who will stand it anymore?
=
turnin’ around, 2 cool myself down
as u keep bouncin’ about
gasping 4 air, sinking in2 the swirl
nobody’s fault
sometimes u’ll have 2 do what u won’t
a means 2 an end, u tell urself; thinkin’ out loud.
-
another glass, 2 drink ur luck dry
part of the bunch, feeling the clutch
getting inline
laying loose, in the aftermath
sights & sounds, pay no mind
some1 always settles the tab
=
nowhere 2 run, u r it; playing catch
head in your hands, working it out
does it really pay, to b nyce?
stone cold, anywhere the wind blows
deep in the dark, glitter won’t shine
without a little light.

seems weird, 2 talk about
sometimes the deed, fills the need
long story short, proves the point
given a choice, do what u will
-
upside… going down
a little taste, never 2 late
a sticky situation
messin’ with ur head
=
right back, @ the gate
feral cat, munchin’ on fish
it won’t smell, like roses
watch ur mouth, njoy the dish
-
tongue-lashing
blows ur mind
so hard 2 find
some1 with the same sense of fun

near the boiling point, insidious fun
@ a lost 4 words, strollin’ around
outrider, no need 2 play so hard 2 get
why take it away? why take it away?
-
a little bit is enuff, a little bit is enuff
a little bit is enuff, just a little bit…
=
i may know a thing or 2, u got it down cold
it could b worse, there’s always somethin’ goin’ on.
outrider, no need 2 play so hard 2 get
why take it away? why take it away?
-
inside the melting pot, dripping into the flow
as good as it gets, spent by the well
outrider, why take it away?
why take it away? why take it away?
=
outrider, do u really need?…
2 play so hard to get!
-
give me a hint!
lead the way!
=
near the boiling point
insidious fun

squared by 1, after many twisted turns
all it takes is a gate, 2 exert the toll
suspended 6th sense, ever elusive draw
smooth fall into the void, longing 2 belong.
-
in 5th gear, ready 2 tell, night is near
down on the floor, back & forth, trying 2 pull it off.
-
lines on the script, a tribe needs a village to live
coming off age, interesting times
what u can think of, already done
trivial topic 4 a tonic, moving along
=
in 5th gear, ready 2 tell, night is near
down on the floor, back & forth, trying 2 pull it off.
-
biding my time, slowly doing the rounds
rushing it can b a drag, only if pushed 2 far
in anticipation, unsure 2 meet xpectations
belle on the ball, playin’ nice; being had!

EM3W - Shooting Star
03:31
|
|||
|
ho’listic approach, about 2 pop
shooting star, ripe 4 a fall
out of gas, settling in the dusk,
rocking the horse, waiting on that call.
-
same old bit, under the spot light
quick stop, b4 the end of the line
lookin’ 4 an opening, 2 smoke the mirror
cool under shades, havin’ a draft.
=
behind the scene, hiding the routine
who needs 2 c, the spin on the screen?
a few shots, 2 warm the cold sweat
doing what it fits, 2 make it stand
-
playin’ the part, holding ur hat
full commitment 2 the task
trailing along, down @ the beach
nothing left 2 do, loosen up the sleeve
=
downhill, & stuck in-btween
feel the pressure, increase bi d-grees
dry lips & weird sensations
no cover or place 2 hide
-
not quite, what 2 b xpected
if only 4 a moment, shift the stick
going after the whole thing
is it safe, if u can’t catch the drift?
=
2 many, unaswered questions
is this the time, 2 roll the dice?
thin spot, 2 crack the shell
getting it done, laying the snare
2017_State of Denial songs - ASCAP.

|
glad 2 b, less than a blip on the radar
imperceptibl, like the ghost of a chance
unwilling witness, in plain sight
-
so aware, always been like this
when u close that door, & no1 can c
who’s 2 stop, the spinning wheel?
=
ambling in the shade, notion detector?
a crack on a window, leading 2 some br8kthrough
if there’s a place, there must b a way
-
time & tide
slowly drifting bi
once u let it slide,
do u ever… get it back?
=
could we agree, 2 say no 4 once?
jumping with both feet, 2 get off the ground
into thin air, and out of bounds.

come & pick me up, i need 2 get …out there
can’t take the hint
it’s tuff 2 get a grip
i wish i could b out there!
-
deabeat i’s wide open
sightseeing without a clu
ez going non-entity,
2 much 2 care 2 bust a move.
=
1 2 many kicks 2 keep it still
aiming 4 the mean, between dips & peaks
knowing nothingness, across the stream
could it get… better than this?
-
almost made, close enuff 2 taste
the clock ticks, ballin’ the chain
feels so wrong, 2 b so right on time
another round of compromise

u could agonize, over everything in dtail
just don’t 4get 2 c, the big picture
that’s the way, with minimal waste
2 take away what works & wait , 4 what comes next.
-
progressive contortion, pressing on is key
xclusive collusive, all of nothing; up the creek
=
crafting ur own scheme, dbl takes & 3rd d’grees
inching closer 2 the brink, a need 2 have by any means
always open 2 try, a different skin
instead of constant grind & grief, a few skids in btween
-
tiny fragments, open questions on a closed case
missing links &, baffling diss-connect
wishing not, 2 remember
waving ur way, through this tangled web
=
minor glitches, makin’ out… the scene
br8kin’ in, ready 2 …spin in2 the mix.

how many times…
did u ponder these questions
when, who & why?
if u may only b…a fly on the wall
-
2 many secrets…
so much hearsay 2 really tell
was reel from real, 2 hide in shame
only whispers…& closed gates
=
there’s a 4tress
u wish u could infiltrate
wonder what is like?
@ the scene behind.
-
some come out, nursing a scar
others can’t hardly wait
there’s a hush…in a rush
right b4, the show of hands
=
must b nothing really
u would like 2 think
yet on the back of ur mind
curiosity’s…itching under the skin!
-
if i shared a few things…
most likely u won’t blieve
once in awhile, all that u need
is 2 dive in, & sink ur teeth.

u think u can take it?
u just don’t get it!
x check, 2 make sure
there’s always more, where this came from
-
if looks could b deceiving
this is only the beginning
walk away, 4 ur own good
no turning back, ’til it’s through
=
quit knocking on my door,
is not the only place 2 go
why pose the question?
2 the answer u already know!
-
didn’t plan 4 this 2 happen
u had 2 lay it like that
some may meant 2 b the right fit
i want no part with that crowd
=
things will remain in balance
no reason given 2 justify
not supposed 2 feel, 4 a quick fix
call it what u will, or tell it like it is
-
the road seems 2 b open
where it leads, can only venture a guess
they said it’ll stretch 4ever
yet i’m aware it must end somewhere.

setting sails, across 7 seas
setting sails, across 7 seas
whisked away, most of the time,
seems like always, driftin’ out of bounds.
-
setting sails, quiet b4 the storm
setting sails, quiet b4 the storm
given the chance, save what u can
coming around again, 2 spin the tale.
=
setting sails, 2 ride the waves
setting sails, 2 ride the waves
-
setting sails, under the blu sky
setting sails, under the blu sky
up on deck, soothing the breeze
the sense of loss, is urs 2 keep

|
2 many ways, 2 take the 12 steps
b4 trying a nu approach, mind the basics 2 fall back on
1st mistake, 2 hide; behind the veil
just the key, 2 give urself away.
-
so predictable
blue is not the color, @ the edge of the sky
dealing with the pressure
main drag slow, walking the line.
=
on the move, 2 stir… some things up
complex con-txt, unfair enuff
every strike, taken… in stride
keeping an i on the ball, does it matter anymore?
-
sticking 2 it, addressing the point; 1 hitch @ a time
it’s all the same, as long as u stay…on track.
