move away, she’s on the stick shift
stray from the hip, dying breed
draggin’ down main st.
-
mother’s nature?…@ a lost 4 words
=
keep ur distance, behind the blitz
2 fast 2 think about, the mess
draggin’ down main st.
-
mother’s nature?…@ a lost 4 words
=
stuck in the middl, fly on the wall
minding the bid, don’t let it slip
monkey with a wrench, breakin’ in
-
chomping @ the bit, 2 spin the wheel
=
going the distance, up & down
sway with the wind, 2 catch the drift
draggin’ down main st.
-
mother’s nature?…@ a lost 4 words.
=
keep ur place, beware the shakes
twisted turn of fate
right on edge, by the ledge
-
coming round…the bend again.

3rd rail, x-check 2 no avail
all worked up, pecking; on the fence.
downhill, licking the pin-prick
back stroke b4 the slide, going upside down.
-
tell me when,
2 play 4 keeps
no more turn tricks,
time 4 a different spin
=
the same things, applied 2 another scheme
upping the stakes, x-ing the line by holding still
pointlessly, 4ward motion in retreat
uneven keel, driftin’ sideways in-btween.
-
falling aftermath, @ the peak of nothingness
reaching out 2 find, no 1’s there
mindless games, 2 take a look in disbelief
judgement call, bent out of shape.

EM3W - Why Even Bother?
03:20
|
|||
|
blind trust, feeding on true lies
who’s 2 blame, or catch ur fall?
late evening, rustlin’ in the dusk
no 1, 2 blame, or take the fall
-
2 many 2 hustle
1 more face in the crowd
not worth the hassle
why even bother 2 try?…
=
missing the mark, hangin’ up 2 dry
pressing ahead, str8 laced
aiming 2 high 2 x- that line
made aware, could care less
-
off the beat, old tricks done 2 bits
plastic swipe 2 break the ice
taking charge, on the surface
user friendlies, waiting 4 their shot.
=
tap down, there 2 pin the nail
from bad 2 worse in quick strides
off the screen, won’t make it go away
double edge,…cuts both ways.
-
u knew all along,
who’s 2 blame, or catch ur fall?
wishing & hoping
4 some1, 2 blame…& take the fall.

hard 2 get enuff
over time…underwhelmed
a bit weird, may seem
is that all there is?
-
count on us
if what u need takes more than talk
when u r willing, we’ll b able
1 can only do so much
=
craving 4 a hint, without a clu
open 2 xplore, what we’ve been through ( u )
4 a spell beyond the pail ( ni )
bushranger on a quest, undercover; str8-laced ( corn )
-
just about, 2 wreck the ship
somewhere some1 did get set adrift
this kind of trip, can only last so long
wheels in motion in the i, of the storm.
=
come on now, say it out loud
it’s not working, where’s the fix?
overdue sessions inbetween
relieve the stress, trigger the will 2 thrill!

east side, in style,
up & down, struttin’ stuff
southside drivin’ stick shift,
pick me up, i need a ride
mother’s nature, so sweet
north wind, that’s the way it is
ur friend’s cool, i’m so cold,
it’s getting late & i want some.

NYCe gals r hard 2 find
NYCe gals r hard 2 find ( don’t u wonder y?)
NYCe gals r hard 2 find,
even across the tracks.
=
grey clouds all around,
so pale 2 go about
skin deep with the flow,
role models putting on a show
porting shades after dusk,
been there; without a doubt
pass the point of no return
why bother looking back?
-
NYCe gals r hard 2 find ( few & far btween 2 come bi )
NYCe gals r hard 2 find ( few & far btween 2 come bi )
NYCe gals r hard 2 find, ( few & far btween 2 come bi )
even across the tracks, ( ever after down the wire)

in little bits, right turns 2 feelin’ blu
hi strung, 1/4 -2-4 - coming undone
uneven keel, keeping things convoluted
zoning out, silenced by the noise all around
-
back 2 basics, form disrupting funktion
takin’ away from the elements, tapping the vain
=
stay the course, connecting the dots
leaning left , outside the scope; 3 axis on point
laying low, press on regardless
make it simpl enuff, 2 jump the rope
-
interesting times, crisis in opportunity
2 the core, shallow & dry
out of sorts, falling by the wayside
the illusion of motion, lies in still life…

when the sun sets,
soaked in cold sweat
trying 2 get a glimpse
is this not what it seems 2 b?
-
calling the shots,
useless under the noise
waiting 4 that train
non-stop x’s xpenses paid
=
i need 2 perceive
that all is well ( swell )
i want 2 xperience ( the xperience )
the placebo effect ( placebo effect )
-
sight unseen,
wonder mill
a place 2 swallow,
the bitter pill
hope springs
always internal
slowly sinking as u swing,
across the field
=
I wish 2 believe, that u could care (less)
give me the illusion, 2 hang in there ( left me hangin’)
behind the scene, fallin’ off the rim ( off the cliff )
can’t tell from this d-ception, what’s the hint?
( just another trick?)

loops qool - 2 Lips
03:18
|

2 lips is all u need
2 move me 2 feel so stiff
2 lips sticky sweet
2 get me shifting on my seat
2 lips glowing red
burning the candle @ both ends
-
don’t let nobody tell u ( otherwise)
it makes all the difference ( try it out )
hands down, stickin’ 2 the groove ( stickin’ 2 it )
when is working out, word gets around ( set it on )
=
2 lips 2 seal the deal
br8kin’ the will 2 b
2 lips, 2 take the pulse away
news flash, can’t stand a chance
2 lips, 2 put some pressure
main squeeze in-bi-tween
-
2 lips, speak & tell
some little secrets in the end…
2 lips, 2 taste the dust
down on the ground playin’ ruff
2 lips, 2 smoke the pipe in peace
making amends, wishing the dream
=
2 lips, shoot the breeze
2 lips, 2 sort the meaning
2 lips, set the record str8
2 lips, 2 spell & soothe the sting.

check & balance,
hidden in plain sight
check & balance,
adding up 1 liner @ a time
lucky charms,
under the scope
good times a roll,
2 bad this bus is coming 2 a stop
-
c it 2 b-live it,
enuff 2 make sense
beyond the paint
check & balance,
is the only way.
=
check & balance,
dragged into the mud
fixer upper in a bind,
pay no mind tell tale signs
wake up & smell the whiff,
it’s hard on the knees
wishing 2 make urself scarce,
fakin’ that smilin’ face
-
check & balance,
down 2 small talk
check & balance,
fallen angel raiding the road
27’s club,
broken mirror putting on a show
born again yesterday,
counting bright lights, in the shade

alone 4 the ride,
doing the task
lust & labour,
2 lower the bar
hard 2 b-lieve,
something like this
bits & pieces,
fitting the scheme
-
hidden within,
this complex of being
from common sense,
2 basket case…
=
sampl sequence,
of events
@ 1st impression,
a twist by chance
2 know ur place,
by turn of phrase
misstrial & error,
tru 2nd guess.
-
always busy,
with random qualms
2 much thinking,
not adding up
running out of minutes,
adrift 4 awhile
target in stillness,
quite detached.

EM3W - Not What It Seems
03:32

|
will u come 2 play?
teasin’ along the main
acting the part, tuning 4 a spin
wild card, throwin’ off my game
-
so into doing ur thing
another tale 2 shed a tear
no 1’s pointing fingers just yet
sweating it out, there’s no other way.
=
2 late , 4 a soft-con
diver down, off the clock
data mining, broken links
running reports, counting on the loss.
-
is not what it seems
u didn’t do anything!…
is not what it looks like
we can xplain everything!
=
returning favors, what’s not 2 like?
take as u give
who’s 2 say where 2 lay down
behind the gate, anybody’s guess
-
on & off, more of the same?
setting up a front, 4 a window dress!…
better stay put, zip ur lips
share the tip & spread the dibs.
=
blind faith preys, when in trolls we trust
the buck never stops, flippin’ the coin.

the optimist
wanders through the optic mist
hoping what he c’s is there
only 2 realize , 2 late
-
maybe next time
the optimist keeps telling hisself
there’s always 2morrow
as long as the fire still burns
=
in the meanwhile
clocks ticking ahead
relentless…regardless
pass the point of no return
-
the optimist
@ a lost in the optic mist
keenly aware in quiet despair
waging a bet, with odds against
=
in perspective
looking back is not so bad
random memories,
flash in the dark, a faint glimpse.
-
given the chance
the optimist, will do it all over again
no matter how painfull the lesson
the goal is 2 live, not 2 learn

no need 2 make a scene
keep it in check
left out in the cold
down 2 the flip of a coin.
-
veiled hint, some other spin
lips dry, nice try;
tru fallen leaves
fix ur grip, get in2 the swing
=
can’t hide the twitch
2 win, losing it is key
off the bus
1st stop, early roll call
-
always there, stickler 2 the drill
may as well, flip the switch
tru fallen leaves
fix ur grip, get in2 the swing.
=
no time 2 waste
whims don’t take a rest
raising the stakes
taking sides 2 stand a chance
-
sending a message, xpect no reply
can’t help urself but wonder why
tru fallen leaves
fix ur grip…get in2 the swing.
