loop's qool - As U Wait
03:42
|
|||
|
lost @ sea, all u can see
sinkin in isolation, & indifference
will the tide ever turn?
from the start, all u could tell, no 1’s there 2 blame, adrift with the shift, fliping the switch .
-
who needs a mirror,
if u know what it looks like
2 afraid 2 think,
as u wait
2 remember the # 2 make that call
=
2 surrender, they say
when there’s nothing left, introduce urself
(it) works in mysterious ways, why even try 2 xpress?
this running sense, of ruting…ness
pulling away @ the end of the rope, 4 a little stretch.
-
let me listen as u type
well as it seems, they are 2 blind
2 glimpse what’s hidden in plain sight
if the shortest distance is a str8 line…
how come we can never get 2 far.

late in the evening, as the sun sets
up & ready, 4 more of the same
hairless chin & well put 2gether
dress 2 suck seed, a little 2 late
-
down the lane, under the gaze
walking into another dead end
no dues to speak of
bleeding through, in the red.
=
leaving what’s safe 2 xperiment
catch the scent, under the spell
driven to run away
line & sinker, east of the fence
-
joined @ the hip, 2 make it rain
anything goes by happenstance
drop the hint, some other place
ink runs dry, in the red.
=
fishing 4 a job 2 do
eating it raw, under the moon
all things take some getting used 2
sideways down, ever changing mood.
-
cruisin’ with the wrong crowd
str8 ahead, tail lights fade 2 black
checking in , 4 guessing games
name the silhouette, in the red.
=
solid rack, 2 stop on my tracks
spotting more than meets the i
as they gather all around
njoying the view between the cracks
-
right across the stage
knowing stare, always in command
fallin’ smooth into thin air
broken arrow, in the red
=
fading fire, grass turns 2 grey
c u later, if u care
2 close the book, or turn the page?
can’t make up my mind, just yet.
-
don’t really need u 2 understand
sometimes silence, is all it takes
coming back 4 a different spin
one last kick, in the red.

let me overview
the basic scheme
2 make ur move
then pull the strings
-
a wide left turn
along the way
some patterns develop
taking shape
=
show me where, 2 stress the blur
altered state, behind the bend…
adding tension bi-xtension
altered state behind the bend.
-
keeping momentum
pushing the envelop
preventive strike
under control yet in command
=
time, it takes
2 adjust the change
see it swell
shifting gears then fade away
-
looking 4 relief
slowly losing steam
gasping 4 air
dreidel spins inside the ring,

EM3W - Seize 2 Resist
03:41
|
|||
|
craving 4 madness
jumping into the fray
as we question the motives
that got us, 2 this place
-
seize 2 resist
crest of the wave
under the influence…
less than a 2nd split.
=
b-tween the lines, a blank stare
empty canvas, guessing the guest
out of bounds, who’s 2 say
there’s no risk, in playin’ it safe.
-
in the wake, overwhelmed
trying not 2 loose the grip
y do we want, the things we can 4get about?
y do u need, the stuff that makes u sick

staring @ the sea
waiting 4 answers, 2 b revealed
i wish it was that ez
do u know what i mean?
-
how 2 stay afloat?
rowing agaisnt the flow
crashing the wave, in2 another
stream of unconciousness…
=
as u ride the wind
it may take u against ur will
some rocks, under the surface
ready 4 u, dropping in.
-
sometimes, i sit 2 ponder
what’s the lure of this whole thing
yet still need, 2 find reason
not 2 b here, 2 begin with.

|
something’s wrong,
why won’t u tell me?
out of sight
minding the tailspin
wishing well somewhere else
on the rocks, in a hard place.
-
smiling phase under stress
smiling phase under stress
here we go again
stumbling 2gether
smiling phase, smiling phase.
=
so ez, it’s messin’ up my head
1 more kick, between the cheeks
sudden twitch under the skin,
the smiling phase.
-
just getting started
will u please…quit lying
can’t stand it anymore
ever after, coming undone
nothing left 2 say
better walk away
=
smiling phase,
smilling phase
under stress
in distress, smilling phase

so atypical, once over a little glitch
along the way, keeping it low key
as it plays out, let’s wait & c
altered states, diffusing without messin’ a bit.
-
drawing the line in the sand
setting the rules, 4 redress
xclusive resolution
taking measures, 2 get a fix.
=
back 2 sq. 1, 4 a 2nd spin
tru 2 form, & willing 2 let it slip
off the beaten path, going the distance
2 fall apart, on the other’s side.
-
smooth guesswork, on with the flow
setting the outline, 4 what’s in store
tuning 2, changes 2 come; fitting glimpse
framing the sequence, b4 hitting the spot.

got no place 2 call my own
cushing ur pad, what’s going on?
keep it cool, letting loose
inching 4ward, 2 c it through
-
time shared , so well spend
tell tail 2 spin some tale getting served, nothing 2 give
waist away, reeling it in
=
take a walk, across the line
without a fight
a choice 2 take the chance
no need to file a claim.
-
dim the lights 2 smooth the ride,
until dawn pulling all the stops
roll the dice, what’s not 2 like?
cold feet by morning light, 1 slip on the slide
=
tripping down the road less traveled
turning on the freaktion factor, don’t mind what i say,
better stay 2 find the missing link
spreading like a lotus flowr, with only 24 hours
mesmerized , what u c is what u’ll get.
-
tune out the bad vibe, it’s been awhile…
won’t hang around 2 b the 1, 2 talk about
let me hear u out!
drop the baggage on the main drag
u know we got some work 2 do.

dropping by, xpecting nothing much
ready 2 unwind, with pockets full of chalk
little did i know, things were about 2 turn
c’ing u standing there, taking what’s left 2 give
-
pleased 2 meet u!
what a nyce surprise!
can’t wait 2 get 2 know u
1 step @ a time ( & don’t need more gum).
-
let me c u, i’d like 2 make u bounce
just 4 kicks btween the cheeks , inside out & about
let’s go take a look, bring ur friend along 2
& while we’re @ it, hold your hat; & keep it cool.
=
some people fight the system
others search 4 the clue
all i can say is…
i want 2 come home with u.

i won’t c u standing there
as u try 2 approach, left turn along the lane …
-
…in stride, take it in stride
when 2 face what’s…
hidden in plain sight?
ironic smile
something 2 remember it by
=
put ur self 2gether
& take it in stride ( 2 past the time)
in stride ( as the hours clock )
take it in stride…
-
2 make a point of letting go
a qwik fix, right where the grass is green!
=
…in stride, take it in stride
cold headed compromise
nothing left 2 give
ties 2 unbind
with snide remarks
-
until we get a grip
take it in stride ( 2 past the time)
in stride ( as the hours clock )
take it in stride…

2 state the case, & get the hint
from the top down 2 the core
scissors @ 6, takin’ the 5th
out & about, by leaps and bounds.
-
quiet similar, on approach
check the link, 2 make it click. ( paradigm shift, sticky swift)
=
open the gate, pulling the strings
lured by layers, behind the scene
come up 2 play, through the scheme
in twisted pairs, surprises indeed!
-
@ a glance, moving target off the mark
little bits in sync with the flow
by duplicity, accomplice 2 the task
peaks and valleys, rider on the run.

EM3W - Not Feelin' It
03:37
|
|||
|
not feelin’ it , anymore
game over ; no more coins
underpinnings, shaken 2 the hilt
crash landing, downhill …
-
grey clouds, porting some lint
food 4 thought, dragging the routine
cold water splash, blink of an i,
pass the word, access 2 unwind.
=
in the dark, which way 2 go?
about 2 find, something’s lost
time’s up in the twilight xone
who’s 2 tell, what’s going off!
-
all there is 2 c, is u standing there
not feelin’ it anymore,
what else can we do but…share a empty stare
not feelin’ it anymore
why remain like this?
not feelin’ it anymore,
=
give it away, instead of… standing there
not feelin’ it anymore,
-
there is not secret 2 the sauce
a matter of taste, then is gone
no xcuses 2 make up 4 it
down & out, just another run.

i hear u knocking…
feelin’ oh so righteous
do u practice what u preach?
down the str8 & narrow
-
going 2 meetings
& keeping up deadlines
always on point without a hitch
itching a glitch, losing the grip
=
breathin’ the smog, driftin’ alone
off broadway, minding the blows
a drink 2 ur success, popping the pills
please, please, please; feel sorry 4 me!
-
talk is cheap & smooth
giving the hint without a clue
the leash is getting…tighter
pressure’s goin’ higher
=
2morrow’s a mystery
2day’s a stretch in 2 deep…
push it 2 the test
how far could u get away?
-
strung out, 2 the 3rd dgree
keep on racking up that bill
bidding time, on a statement plan
4ever trying without a will
=
1 day @ a glance
barely getting by.
