slackjaws 02:18
our backs up against the wall, collectively speaking / tappin' into random calls, checking frequencies / eager to pass laws, they pass 'em all past y'all / distract y'all with reality television and basketball / manufactured mind scatter, dumb us down, slack jawed / these bastards pass cash through the cracks under the doors / news flash, newscasters kept in back pockets / pre-packaged news packets, redacted topics / celebrity drama, nobody really needs to know / the zombie worship of so & so really needs to go / whatever slop tops covers, they really need your dough / swap out the garbage for knowledge you really need to know / we really need to grow, and growth scares them / when such notions are shown & made known, they impair them / prefer a nation of clones, a rut stuck in / uncle sam robot, screws loose, for the nuttin' / abused by big brother we trusted, ain't that something? / a host of drones, live stream the clones butt-fuckin' / even when snowden, decided to go in / and shed light on dark motives, we chose to play so dim / funny thing about the truth, when expressin' her / it doubles as a call for the troops to shoot the messenger / it speaks volumes on society as a whole / so i speak with volume, straight into society's holes / the greasiest, sleaziest, politicians pose noblest / they worship stone phallices, pharoahs & old obelisks / AllOne's bone marrow alone shows who the chosen is / you know it is, bow & arrows to drive a point home? / i suppose it is akin to a lone sparrow floating in the wind / blowing from between the seams of where beginnings end / the circumstances are beyond dire / the magician is liar, workin' his hands over fire / and from the ghosts in the embers that rise up to meet sky / comes a warning call for all to storm in, lest we die.

nowadaze 04:21
nowadaze it's hard wakin' up / been married to my mind for a long time, thinkin' bout breakin' up / if i do, there's no makin' up / let my soul - not - be stirred, internal words, i'm shaken up / i'd burn the crosses that i've taken up / but i know me only too well, i'd see yours by the wayside & take 'em up / it's always been in my nature to save the hated / and try to redeem them, a dream that's never validated / i sit beside a man-made lake, next to a landfill / make man-made plans to stand up to the standstill / i've arrived at a stand, still, yet still it stands / to reason, i'd rather be mad then pop the pill in hand / within the eye's iris, spy a white ibis in mid-flight / permanent daylight, bright midnight / using insight, i can tell that my insides / have been dried, left with a mortal shell, stretched skin-tight / hellish helicopter propellers, like a ceiling fan / hung from the clouds, life's too real to be appealing, man / it seems to be peeling tan flesh from my old bones / the man that i've become visits the past like an old home / mold in my dome, grown from calcified thinkin' / floating like preserves in formaldehyde, sinkin' / as war cries rise like blood tides & more die / pops forced into retirement, watches rawhide pain on the inside, pain on the outside / aiming for the stars, while i dangle over south fire / friends offer words of encouragement, i don't care though / when you feel this empty, it's hard to care about careful / piss on good judgment & throw caution to the wind / i can't cope, i can't handle, do you have a hand to lend? / a lot of mindwash newspeak, so disarming /  it's alarming, friendly fire, disarmed by this army / fractured reflections in mirror shards, are not mine / so many lives within this lifetime, forgot mine / entranced in stationary placement, i need a transformation / stagnation's dragging me under, let's face it / something's wrong, i can't place it, caught up in the dragnet / fingers tippin' scales of the dragon's tail i'm chasin' / i never manage to catch up to past phantoms / on a white horse galloping, hands on a black lantern / illuminated by the dark truth, shimmer obsidian / stars don't shine on lost souls, they never pity them / feel like burnt offerings on the wrong end of a pitchfork / at every turn i get caught, whichever way the witch walks / within this maze, the children of the maize slip through / stalks of corn, awkward born, stuck out like a chip tooth / wordsmith tempura temperament tempered exemplar / semper fi to i & i eternal night, templar  once in a while the gears turn, wheels spin, no traction / so i let the fears return, seals me in, no action / frozen cryogenics, denial becomes medicine  / life's knocking, but i'd probably die if i let it in / on an existential seesaw, everything i see, i seen before / except i used to wanna see more /  now i just close my eyes, i wanna sleep forever / take my hand, it's better in neverland, we'll sleep together.

stay with me 03:11
and if the world goes pop, stops & topples off its axis / consider this a praxis, from a humble soul in practice / it's wonderful & magical, it's fictional and factual / the miracles, the tragical, satirical & actual / as the empirical in charge manufacture their man-made disasters / may this manifesto slash their plan of action / cuz all of it is beautiful, though some of it is horrible / it's human to be dutiful, and not to be deplorable / my awesome is someone else's plum awful, it's all just perspective / if it happens to be off, i'll correct it / it seems the duly elected are never truly elected / because if you and me choose, our selection would be unexpected / don't let em in, don't let em under your skin / evil's lived from the beginning, but beginning's will end / to say the least, i pray for peace and if there's prayer in action / let's form a faction & slay the beast, stay with me this color skin points to that color of skin / but if an eye for an eye makes the world blind, what color is sin? / i'll color it in, till the boundary lines are blurred / painted in soundscapes, bursting brainbows to be heard / break free from the herd & shake off the mind shackles / slavery is absurd, the tree of life's divine apple / is sublimely palatable, take a bite and taste knowledge / third eye pineal 101, banned in college / understand what scholars have long sought in vain / overriding instincts only to get lost within their mortal brain / the beating from a bleeding heart's always stronger / than dark oil pumped through a heart that loves no longer / tragedy and comedy stand hand in hand, face to face / so embrace your place in line & alotted slot in time & space / and if you sit on apathy's path, as the world passes by / the day will surely pass, when the whole world laughs & you have to cry living is modern art, the paint the act of trying / the brush is our intention, the working title is dying / our actions form the colors on a canvas in kaleidoscopic swirls / stretched across the framework of the world / and while it seems that every cynical critter's a bitter critic / there still plenty of us left here that really really get it / there's no control, just a neverending ebb and flow / on you mark, get set, draw up a big breath and let it go / discussing tangible matters, nothing tangible matters but everything tangible's matter when hands handle the data / and when you size it up, it's no surprising bulletin / there's guys in ties, lying through their pearly whites, pulling strings / babies die, mothers cry, politrick bullshit / sticking butterfly wings to bullets by the full clip / we were born to live and die while we do  / you can see it through the mind's eye, but only if you choose to.
11.
one 03:10
we are All One, though others would have you think differently / damage you, manage you differently / tragedy lathered in mystery / wrapped up in packages magically baggaged as history / savages ravage us viciously / rather efficiently, brand us like cattle in misery / handing us battles like passages / clipped from epistles and scriptures while adding epistrophe apostrophe, apostles in coffins / would scoff at the coffers we fill at the cost of apostasy / awful unlawfully offer the option to orphan me rather than writing me off as a martyr and offin' me / oughta just barter me, tradin' salvation for pesos / so pathos replaces my ethos / hey! pushing your faith or a race, what a waste though! cuz when you say cheese, i'll say queso & freeze while i blow you a beso / slow up the roll, you should know your own pace though, know your own place bro / invading the personal space of a murderous person can furnish a hearse i reserved in your space yo / so pray if you're able, say grace at my table, i'll set you a place for the tasting of nuts when you're facing my navel quite easily true, might feasibly pick at your bones like a vulture in need of some food / and while you're assaulting my creed or my culture i'm saltin' your meat for a savory stew / i'm brewin' a rue, consists of a twist of your treason, a splash of your reasoning too / they'll ask why'd you ruin the mood? for a laugh and some secret ingredient seasoning, dude! the talking of heads over networks /  they're walking the dead, using rhetoric, medicine, legwork / it gets you to thinking you're better off dead / but you're so apathetic you're better in bed / of course word is born, but the letters are pregs / my word is my bond, but it's shackled in manacles / wars won't be be fought with a sling but with grammar flows / thoughts become things become animals change up the world, we're too lazy to handle it / lazy to reach the remote so the channel sticks / programs are programmed to break our attention, the span of it / changing the frequencies, jamming it / strange, the techniques they unleash in an underhand manner / we're nodding but don't understand it / i've said it before and i'll say it again, the remote in your hand is a bandit [one arm] now if everything's math & the numbers are stacked / i'm crunchin' the stats, just do the addition, division, subtract / my hunch is you don't know the half of the facts, maybe half of that, max / we're made up of elements bound to react / turnin' tan into white, turnin' brown into black / and the factions that fracture us down into fractions / will probably topple the populace, actually factually  as a matter of fact / it's a fact that you matter as matter / and cellular data collected in life apparatus / but paying a tax to enable a patriot act / in collecting your cellular data is madness / know who the menace is, always remember the genesis, lest in the end you depend on your nemesis.
