encoding the message
waiting 4, a 1st response
slowly, burning fuel
contrails… & grey fumes
-
out in the dark
fumbling the way
2 find the place
& ponder what gives?…
=
sweatin’ it, with every stream
driftin’ in thin air
state of alert, & good grief
xpectin’ 2 drop, without a glitch
-
morning after, the flood
drained away, 2 barren 2 hold
cracks on the surface
beginning 2 show

tell tale sign,
blk i behind the glass
same old story nu script,
stuffed btween the cheeks
bothers me none,
it happened b4
-
falling on deaf ears,
soon enuff; gone with the breeze
falling on deaf ears,
making sense; after the kick
=
no reason 2 laugh,
joker’s out 4 a ride
2 start all over,
meaning less every time
lost in the shade,
found by a stranger’s hand
-
hard 2 believe,
that’s the thing indeed
no need 2 xplain,
it’ll only make my head spin
better move on,
we knew from the word go

iconic reference
most likely 2 b
laconic blowin’ smoke
behind the screen
-
however,
there’s always more
2 write about
old ideas stemming from recycled bins
=
getting worked up
players holding keys
rushing 2 fill in,
there’s really no need
-
eclectic preferences
elemental consternation
dominion thru scale
little hitch & dbl takes
=
2 tell the difference
major & minor inb-tweens
a cool place 2 drop the hint
b4 the show, a warning glitch
-
often inclusive, bi affluence
atypical in lacking, agressive traits
take ur pick, c it won’t stick
if moving 2 fast, u can pull back @ least 4 awhile…

put 2 the test
unable 2 contain
1st, 3rd and 5th waves
failing 2 scan
-
2 state the point
tipping off the scale
node tangled in the web
a lot 2 spin on ur plate
=
outgoing concerned,
bending over the edge
stretched 2 thin
tripping down, couldn’t get much higher
-
adding the #’s
running out of chips
@ the root of the square
somehow feeling inadequate
=
a long range
some work 2 do
shapes losing form
what was new getting old
-
after awhile
slowly br8kin’ thru
once across the tracks
there’s no turning back

ticking clock, twitchy tricky drone
just about ready, 4 that fuse 2 blow
little drips, filling the bucket
up 2 the rim, b4 u care 2 know
-
incremental, pushing the envelope
elemental, minding what matters most
,,,
incremental, pieces 2 the puzzle
incidental, down 2 bits; lost in the whole
=
from scratch, almost nonstop
so compulsive, don’t u wish 2 let it go?
con-sensual incentives…
never ending cycles, always on a roll
-
constant stream, flowing through the screen
numb by the #’s, meaningless drift
stress test, without a raincheck
stuck in the hot seat, sweatin’ the routine…

as good as gone
top down approach
top down approach,
losing ur touch
=
searin’ under the sun,
top down approach
barely keepin’ up,
about 2 come undone
-
stillwater in silence
sour taste & muted wish
every promise, broken
nowhere 2 hide or seek
=
closer 2 the edge
the further we’re pushed away
past the dealines,
top down approach

7. |
||||
recurring dreams, always on demand
old jack, never hits the road, with the boogie man…
nothing 2 fret about, finger on the pulse
leave it alone while the others, get 2 roam
-
playing with the ring, creative dislocation
a few basic moves, open 2 con-solidation
best in-show, 1 of the kind 2 take 4 a stroll
ready 2 roll, riding stick shift until dawn
=
imperceptible, off the beaten path
a neat trick if u want, 2 handle a problem child
case in point, tickling 2 alloy
most of time, doin’ what u like, won’t make it right
-
just in time, 2 get back in2 the black
tried & tested, yet nobody’s perfect
=
( twistin’ in the wind )
( lookin’ 4 a change of scene )
( waitin’ in the wings )
( a little spin, 2 the scheme )

EM3W - Nice Enough
03:25
|
|||
who cares 4 the careless
checked out & weightless
the takeaway is…takin’away
nice enough 2 play the part
-
no 1 in control
couldn’t reach the top fast enuff
don’t fake it, if u won’t make it
leash 2 tight, 2 untie the knot
=
outside looking in, bubble head in sync
sportin’ lint
livin’ off plastic sweeps
last 1 left, hangin’ on a shoestring
-
out of network, missed connections
roamin’ charges, askin’ favors
low profile,
under wraps, waitin’ 4 the rain 2 stop
-
keepin’ surreal, behind the glass
a quest 4 redemption
bowin’ down 2 the invisibl man
unfair enough, 2 miss-understand
=
hands off approach,
sometimes it pays; 2 let go
who needs advice,
when there’s strangers, we can trust.

loop's qool - Quick Peek
03:22
|
|||
parsing out the #’s
2 get in touch
it’ll b awhile to settle in
so many things goin’ on
-
now that u c it
will u hear me?
in the hit of the moment
divin’ in the hope… 2 ride ashore
=
quick peek, 2 a handfull
of that…i’m quite sure
down here with no xpectation
seems i got, more than i bargained 4
-
u don’t look that impressed
& i won’t give it a rest
takin’ no 4 an answer
was never part of the plan
=
everything happens 4 a reason
even happenstance…
x ur arms, sitting on a fence
target within range
-
scannin’ out like i’m not there…
rollin’ ur i’s 4 a swift dbl check
u may think i didn’t notice
never 2 late, 2 give in b4 they warn u not 2 tell

never had a chance,
2 get that close
knock on wood, by the door;
not good enough
-
clumsy feet,
about 2 take my leave
in the dark,
mumblin’ while guessin’ the way
=
standing still
sinkin’ feelin’ hi & dry
tunin’ 4 clues
2 tell when time is up
-
some work 2 do,
muffled sobs @ dusk
nothin’ left 2 say
wakin’ up 2 the thump
=
tru the motions
lost in the crowd
chillin’ cold breeze
knock on wood

feelin’ seized ,
prominence from the past
outside inn, so unlike
clocking out of time
-
switched in-btween
grafting the wind
turbulence in motion
locked inside the slipstream
-
so it is, there’s no use
2 different & narrow minded
hollow rings 2 pick or choose
sleight of hand, played smooth
=
quick sweep
across the scene
under a spell
ominous entreat
-
another glimpse
thru amalgamation
a rift in the works
tearin’ up the scheme
=
on 2nd thought
twisted perspective
b4 the ever after
soft chill & mellow tartness
-
right in the middle
pullin’ some strings
implied con-notation
upon layers of hints

EM3W - Supposed To Be
03:48
|
|||
don’t want 2 partake, no need 4 an ez pass,
which side 2 take?, i-hope …u get the hint
as the spinning stops,then start all over again.
-
if this is how’s supposed 2 b
do what u can, while trying 2 get a grip
if this is how’s supposed 2 b
open ur i’s, b4 the next bit
=
looking around 4 a place 2 fit
packin’ up, draggin’ it down
inside out, pondering the cloud
holding the bag, petting the cat
-
there’s no tellin’ 4 this tale
no 1 left 2 blame
give, what it takes
just give, what it takes…
=
superficial, shaping in2 form
not in the know, missing the glow
lacking steem, stuck in the thin
bar none signal, trackin’ the troll
searchin’ 4 the fix, that never works
-
not a pretty picture
on the loop, yet off the hook
pullin’ the rug, losing ur way
driven down alone
=
running on empty, thanks 4 the ride
who’s 2 care?… & cover the tab.

bottom lines, make the world go round
come as it goes, up & down the blocks
stuck in the middle, meeting ur gaze
something about it, 2 set my mind astray
-
looking in2 it
can only imagine once inside…
thinkin’ in cold sweat
what is like 2 let it ride?
=
bottom lines, pushing the nvelop
set up…2 control the flow
2 x-rsice some pressure
all u need is just, a little nudge
-
2 much on ur plate
spinning on sticks
delicate balance on display
crash course…on the verge
=
bottom lines,
opening the gate
flyin’ blind
bi the seat of ur pants
