btween the lines
message in the fine print
shaken 2 a halt,
-
cold shoulder
ashes in the tray
shaken 2 a halt
=
givin in…
yet unwillin’ 2 let go
shaken 2 a halt
-
senseless,
leave it alone,
shaken 2 a halt
flashback,
beginning 2 unwind
shaken 2 a halt

late night
coolin’ out the draft
shaken 2 a halt

how long?
pickin’ up the tap
shaken 2 a halt

cold indifference
copin’ with inner unrest
first 1 on the move
2 show the boy, how 2 care
-
diggin’ in2 books
alone in your quest
issues with control
takin’ up, b4 givin’ an inch
=
lookin’ @ things
turnin’ ugly quite a bit
unpredictable…as xpected
sneakin’ 4 a peek
-
jumpin’ thru hoops
no chance 2 drag ur feet
tamin’ off the beast
takes some white shirts, shortin’ the leash
=
far from home
& nothing 2 fall back on
prayin’ 4 serenity
down this road, just another run
-
savin’ 4 that rainy day, bankin’ on a mystery
another puppet, hangin’ by a thread
cool enough, 2 remain blind
passin’ the time, like a grain of sand.

Osiris Daen - Facts Fail
03:34
|

white picket fences,
think u got it made
y would u do this?
what bait… 2 take these steps?
u always wanted,
2 get out there
tradin’ places,
without a word or care
-
a moment’s notice
flyin’ off the wall
findin’ right here…
facts fail 2 fit the norm
=
denial of access
is all u get
no strikes of fancy
well… on a dry spell
measurin’ up
2 rules that don’t apply
against ur nature
as u wonder in the wild
-
used 2 b so ez
2 count, then dissappear
hidin’ from the seeker
rushin’ in 4 that thrill
now just a target
evr’ywhere u go
i’s in the sky, invisibl hand
pointin’ what 2 do & when 2 stop…

wishin’ u would
silently take ur leave
longin’ 2 go back
2 the way things used 2 b
-
a little 2 deep
in2 this user agreement
not part of the plan
best shot goin’ 2 waste
=
lost thru the layers
somehow stickin’ out
rowin’ against the stream
can only get us this far
-
2 careless 2 carry on
@ irregular intervals
comin’ up short
tangld in 4 how long?
=
assorted xcuses
uncanny lack of sense
slowly movin’ ahead
all the while lookin behin’ the neck
-
perfectly missinformed,
disfunctional assumptions
time lapses,
by the broken lens
does it really,
make a difference?
if u stay put…
instead of goin’ there…

lust & naughtiness,
y can’t this mood, ever feel right?
lost in nothingness
-
tickin’ time, not feelin’ it right
no1 2 talk 2, sittin’ duck @ dusk
listenin’ 2 ur thoughts, pondering
how 2 get it done, if…@ all
=
under the skin
alien not fittin’ in
this won’t b good
lettin’ this loose
waitin’ on that cruise
-
lust & naughtiness
lost in nothingness

somehow br8kin’ out
couldn’t get any worse than bad?
forkin’ down this road
fadin’ as we grow… apart
alone 4 the ride
-
something this wrong, seemin’ so right
out late, somewhere else
stickin’ to it, come as it may
2 weak 2 walk away
=
elapsin’ time,
deaf, numb & blind
2 weak 2 wait
seems so right…2 do things wrong sometimes

b4 u even think,
2 try this out
seize the moment 2 check,
& case it down
remember 2 play the part,
there’s rules 2 abide
finger snapping moodswings,
can twist ur turns
-
we can always talk about it
many shapes won’t it the form
the trick is 2 get the hint
sharin’ is b-levin…indeed
=
takin’ the hits;
2 test ur endurance
a quick start,
can end up draggin’ u down
how do we manage
without givin’ up?
building momentum
can catch u fallin like a drop
-
in constant struggle,
2 keep on trollin’ in style
sweet 16 goin’ sour 61
loose cannon on the countdown
1/4 of a 3rd 1/2 of the time
baskin’ in the back seat,
choosin’ 2 beg 4 a charge

br8kfast in bench
after the binge
ever elusive
drifter on a quest
=
bittersweet taste
of what could’ve been
glass 1/2 full
brimming with contempt
-
2nd hand in-con-sequence
utterly missing the link
shakin’ with concern
b-tween strangers we share?…

learnin’ 2 sink or swim
shiftin’ with the stream
work 4 hire wearin’ thin
-
switchin’ sides on a dime
tyin’ in2 the grime
twice as hard 2 bite
good deed goin’ awry

unwillin’ 2 quit,
blank stare, brownstained & blue in the face
enduring the noise
missin’ the point

can’t wait 2 fake away
by the window pane

early on,
makin’ the connection
settin’ in style,
fit 2 worth ur while
1st respondent,
2 ? the contention
2gether off the bit,
@ fault by association
-
ez 2 point the fingr
goin’ around the block
hands in pockets
stuck btween, dbased & dvoid
=
after awhile,
guessin’ who knows what
so used 2,
dimmin’ the lights
thru the maze,
clear line of sight
movin’ places,
cruisin’ ahead
-
another test,
& no idea left 2 try
pourin’ ink in2 the spin,
just 2 c where it may lead

Osiris Daen - Gal Pal
03:17

blu stain on shades of grey, aware of the wheel
scannin’ 4 content, drawin’ a 2nd guess
freaktion without a scratch, not worth the mention
progress thru con-promise…or so, they say
=
soft touch, a little 2 much
plain like a bunch
good as grief, so eager 2 commit
quite the gal pal
…
quite the gal pal
-
losin’ the grip, will u get the hint?
afraid of goin’ there, am-algo-mated
in silent consent, no subject 2 object
tangld in fine print, either this than else
=
quite the gal pal
she has the gall, 2 call u pal
…
we call it even, in the end
annoyed that i found u …already engaged
twist of fate, 2 have u here
lucky 13, barin’ with me…

on balance uneven keel
moths fuelin the flame
fumblin’ fathers
skinnin’ the fat the land
blinkers lost in the mud
insignificant others out 2 lunch
-
old hands on deck
in2 self preservation
friendly foes flippin’ coins
beach wearin’ out the bum
=
family ties
in the company of strangers
talkin’ shop
a littl som’thin’ lifted from us
-
within the limits
of affinity
watchin’ the spineless
takin’ charge
=
bad reputation
spoonin’ the gilded void
wishfull thinkin’ @ the border line
2 muster the will, 2 b left without

if u could only 4get, way back then
an unpleasant surprise, as they say
thru the motions
out of place
-
inside the box, unable 2 think
keepin’ distance within reach
how would u know ,…
when played off the score?
=
jumping 2 conclusions
there b-side urself
why get so hasty?
quick reality check

timin’ couldn’t b more imperfect
reasons won’t rhyme 2 the ears of the blind

won’t get so hasty!

incidental leaves, fallin’ along the way

let’s not get so hasty?
quick reality check
