never ending,
puzzlbilities
as it happens,
lost in lust
rose tinted glasses,
maskin’ the patterns
along 4 the ride,
wishing 2 never let go
-
2gether alone, less likely 2 grow
( alone 2gether, less likely 2 grow)
stretching the strings, 2 late 2 come undone
( ties that bind, & no1 2 turn )
=
open 2 suggestions,
feelin’ out of place
makin’ sense is elusive ,
when hangin’ by a thread
friendly users
in all shapes & forms
when there’s no clue,
in 2 deep smooth and slow
-
types of all kinds,
13th floor; dress 2 the 9’s
a stranger in the crowd,
deaf 2 the tune of that many lies
1 more layer of miss-perception,
tried and tested over time
another drop in pressure,
since is never enuff

u know u want this,
y not give it a go?
just a little bit,
it’s all it takes 2 make the cut
-
is it really worth it?
2 wonder what’s like…
bein’ 2 cautious …in turn
can leave u holding the bag
-
think about it, tides waste no time
wishing 4 somethin’, won’t make it start
within the scheme, i’ll have 2 admit
aiming 2 please, waiting in the wings.
-
getting used 2
lustin’ after glow
y do i need 2 subscribe?,
when there’s nothing 2 show
=
cause 4 concern,
ur so called friends meanin’ well
yet talkin’ about it, …
doesn’t seem 2 b the fix.
-
blink of an i
blowin’ the chance 2 debris
slowly driftin’ away,
from the moment when it counts.

if they open the gate,
will u take ur leave?
may just b…a little 2 late
closing ur i’s
trying 2 get a grip
quite sure, words can’t xplain
-
out there on ur own
trusting 2 a fault
picking up the pieces…
trusting 2 a fault
=
in touch with strangers
greetings on the go
keeping up the front, sweatin’ it cold
looking back
who’s 2 say how far u come?
drained 2 the core, twichin’ through it all
-
dead end afterglow
soaked down 2 the tail
living up a bad con-notation
a second 2 guess, sweetens the sour dish
where the truth lies…,
depends on how the tale is set.

@ the core, all it takes it’s just a little more,
when it counts…u won’t stray 2 far beyond
on the 1 hand, nimbl finger on the pulse
after the 1st step, slowly catching on
-
wanting 2 b abl
2 keep up with the tide
as if 2 get a sense
bending out of shape
=
peeking over the edge
a glimmer of a glimpse?
issues adding up
intuition set adrift
-
how 2 prepare?
4 such a thing…
coming 2 terms
may seems harder, that it needs 2 b
=
uninvited guest, unintended consequence
unmitigated…disaster, ill adviced twist
small alterations, 2 the given script
full adaptation, 2 set ur mind 4 another spin

EM3W - To Be With You
03:28

ready 2 leave, another quick fix
glass empty & u so full of it
that close, 2 bcoming strangers
i’ll stay put, as u make the move
-
the sky’s the limit now
no given reason 2 try
on ur feet, stomping the ground
opportunities knocking nonstop
=
in silence, waiting right here
let down & keeping our distance
@ this point, tipping off the scale
how’s it going out there?
-
wishing 2 b with u
longing 2 b with u
how’s it going out there?
wishing 2 b with u, longing 2 b with u…
-
takin’ everything, & xpecting more
crashin’ the place where the angels fall
dropping the bag, as u carry on
can u tell what’s goin’ on?
=
the more is said, the less i care
who knows what’s next
i can c the cards, under the slip
fold ur hand, let’s split the bill

so used 2 have,
the golden touch
yet nowadays,
whatever it is…
u get 2 put,
ur fingr on
can only turn 2 rust…
-
tides change,
& the mood swings
once upon a lustful green…
about the days,
when the present was
halcyon daze,
setting in2 the sun
=
not 2 b,
always con-fused
this here seems,
clear cut & dry
no1’s missing… the point
it leaves a mark,
2 play without a prize
-
wizard of odds,
wishing & waiting…
4 the spell 2 hold,
long enuff,
2 catch a 2nd wind
fear of flight,
keepin’ ur feet cold

br8kin’ off…
comin’ undone
=
tradin’ rank & file
scattered all over
aging hipsters trying,
2 keep it 2gether
shaken & out of sorts
-
soothin’ the breeze,
always room 2 roam
askin’ 4 it,
will it ever stop?
=
fallin’ front row
simmer indiscreet
forgin’ ahead… indeed
adding up the bits
shaken & out of sorts
-
scattered all over
simmer indiscreet
2 keep 2gether
adding up the bits
shaken & out of sorts.

last one 2 admit,
a hidden agenda
levity reigns within,
the circle under the clouds
stating some claim,
evrything seems relative
can only do so much,
after giving it all you’ve got
-
preemptive strike, b4 losing clout
divided trivial tribe, taken 4 a ride
=
lost in line,
just another face
a square doing the rounds,
fixin’ 4 a fit
weak scheme,
missing the link
goin’ down slow,
where the chips may fall
-
shapin’ out,
rigid and staid
unable 2 tell
the 1 from who’s next
drained of self steam,
no xcuse in the deed
4 all we know,
u can only b ill @ ease

dinnin’ with candl sticks
astray as a broken arrow
no bling, just bills
doin’ ur thing,
-
good times gone,
mellowed down, 2 the punch
free 2 choose, the ties
along the dotted line
=
sleight of hand, blink of an i
pickin’ some slims.
lost 2 the crowd
str8 face lies, puttin’ up with that
-
won’t like what u don’t have,
try as u might
won’t like what u don’t have, try as u might
str8 face lies, puttin’up with that
=
un-ez terms, wearin’ thin
uneven blend
watchin’ while waitin’, no1 2 give
a piece of ur mind
-
quick fix, @ the right price
can’t get it, out on strike
2 choose ur poison
pride will always have a tag
=
behind the smile,
skin in the game
slowly fadin’ in2 the shade
pledge or take, nothin’ left 2 chance
-
1-800-who-cares, rainmaker in distress
workin’ up the slate, rising the stakes.

loop's qool - How Long
03:37
|

|
keepin’ ur head down,
not sayin’ a word
always con-promising,
chippin’@ that stone
lookin’ the other away,
indifferent perspective
turns out the mirror,
is veiled by the smog
-
bending by inch,
crusting ur soles
as they push while u shove,
how long will u hold?
=
2 carry the weight,
retainin’ some balance
deter-mination is…@ times,
the only choice
flexin’ some muscle,
2 counter the pressure
gaspin’ 4 air,
tappin’ up that vein
-
b4 u ponder,
makes me wonder;
then i realize,
seems 2 b, just like that.

down the slippery slope
soon 2 b, stuck in the mud
if u could only get away
if u could only get away
-
barely standing, on shaky ground
inside this box, around the clock
around this block
if u could only get away
=
finding urself, @ a lost 4 words
finding urself, @ a lost 4 words
-
turnin’ the other cheek
sick & tired of this deceit
cold shoulder within range
indifference targetin’ its prey
=
listening without comprehension
pushing the jester aside
keepin’ it cool
while the fever, swings the mood
-
hard 2 b-live, still blinded by faith
any color u like!
multiple choice,
ghost of a chance
=
broken promises,
chain letters in the mail
across the board
2 proud 2 beg 4 some change,

there are many things,
b-yond what the i’s perceive
yet, when on ur own
some d-tails can’t b missed
-
giving away the hint
on the rocks, the place 2 b
running out of options
old enough 2 catch the drift
=
near the end,
major setback down the line
tagging alone,
all seems fine, b4 its done
-
searchin’ 4 a way,
2 keep it quiet & remain …
creating distractions,
pointin’ out, then lookin’ in
=
losin’ common ground,
pushing ur own conceit?
gets me 2 wonder,
who will ever fit ur scheme?
-
absent from the scene,
stuck btween the twins
how 2 read,
this tale from the script…?

done with the silent treatment!
con-promise is getting old
am i missing something?
don’t u think we’ve had enuff?
-
the up & coming,
couldn’t get any worse
steelin’ urself 2 keep it that way
hopin’ 4 the best, & holdin’ on
=
down here, 2 tired 2 listen
& so much, to carry on
i’m giving up
just can’t, take it anymore
-
the up & coming
couldn’t get any worse…
won’t push myself, 4 more of the same
hopin’ 4 the best, i’m movin’ on
=
under the skin
itching 4 a fix
hidden in plain view
chances few & far btween
-
within reach…
chances few & far btween
within reach…
chances few & far btween
