sunrise orange 02:27

As an amateur I manage with no pro tools Quiet down and you can hear the crackle of the fuse Acme dynamite, ask me 'why do I choose To be the only star up in the sky at high noon?' Chilling, hanging, the sight is quite dangerous Up and down, side to side, write in fly language Hang time, feathers and wings, my slang is Daytime- desert, night- bling like Vegas Set in stone, high road forged Enter stage right, sunrise bright orange Not enough room for us both at the morgue Clouded visionaries, scary skies, might storm Don't speak Klingon to me, corner offices crash-land Transforming parking lots back into grasslands And like clockwork here come the flowers and plants So we can pile up the rubble like hourglass sand They tell me quit playing like an athlete with an open wound But I ain't going to, like a radio I'm so in tune They tell me quit playing like an athlete with a broken neck It's like a stolen base the way I slide into the tape deck They tell me quit playing like an athlete with a broken toe I'm never skipping practice like a CD, keep it flowing yo They tell me quit playing like an athlete with a broken arm But like a broken record I just keep going on and on

It ain't half bad It ain't half nice That's just how it be C'est la vie That's life Two cents may become a nuisance But how much does a penny weigh? Nobody should pass with their glass Still half-filled anyway Unblazed trails that we don't frequent Black cats cross paths, so be it Something about wisdom, so sad we don't seek it Act like ants march start-up sequence Blueberry blunts and Paul Masson up in my cup When I put my finger to the ringer, come on, pick it up Gotta keep it rolling, even though a tire's punctured Like vines grow on the entire structure Life lines thrown to you in dire slumber Light shines, shone out from the fire's glowing ash Know the facts, don't let the sight of thunder hold us back Dead end justifications, stuck circling cul-de-sacs Let it burn, turn leaves autumn Soul sales, real cheap offers Reject, no deal, seek green chakra Spell it out, i-o-u-u-a means awesome (That's a pessimistic note) as if we had a choice Indebted, stuck in the same boat Embedded in the tone of our voice We said it, never known to waste quotes Once a blue moon we seem to have a go-round No need to be crying like a wolf now The way we twist it probably took the whole town Forget it, it's probably in the gulf now Infrared, move ahead, accept teachings Ultraviolet, tendency to see things Lies upon lies lie in between Which ones will we end up believing? On black and white spaces they play us like a chess piece Warned they will be reborn as a centipede Find a way to shed these imaginary besties Time/place, IA, twenty-first century

sunset fuchsia 03:13

White sand, blue sky, light wind, noon sun Too much pollution lungs get used to Breathing through the smoke and mirrors, let's go cruise the Bright star boulevard sunset fuchsia Midnight, rooftop, gazing through galaxies Octants, compasses, spirit levels, balance beams Ocean view, told you, salty like this shallow sea We should go wade in, we should stop waiting, follow me No time like the present, summer's essence Green lawns dethawed, respawned to learn a lesson Underneath umbrellas felt trapped in What the hell happened? Set sail captain That's just your imagination Hail a cab then Yo, got the time? No means no means to check a sun dial Brought my favorite album to this quick sanded sunk isle Bonfire dies, wipe the sand off my trunks, smile Fresh crisp air high, up all night drunk style Call you up, though I don't know what to say to you Conversation 'how you been?', backdrop- navy blue Get a hint, take a clue, you need to quit staying true And doing all the things that you'd have to be crazy to Rivieras turn to indigo, reveal the moon's glow Knight in shining armor felt the earthquake, then the room broke Now this stone cold street's a sweet mattress I swear I already took the beaten path past this How's it feel to sober up crashing from a natural high? Coulda woulda shoulda, passion died, don't ask the sky Though the answer's clear as clouds gather fears, devils, fallacies Midday underneath a bridge awaiting new realities

forest green 03:04

Treasure oral speech sunken deep like coral reef Gold indeed, holding throwing heat so get far Blue pills, go to sleep, woe is me, almost reached Tipping point of karma, slip a dollar in the tip jar Treasure oral speech sunken deep like coral reef Gold indeed, holding throwing heat so get far Red pills, forest green, morbid dreams tore the seams Guess I'll point at god, he never said it would be this hard The giving tree from way back wants payed back with interest We can still be friends, don't trip, it's just business Fat cats devoured by overweight serpents Isn't this picture in the cobra snake perfect? Snap out of it, all of us The most important part of the swing is the follow-through Gaps in the crowd now, gotta trust The fall back plan or stand sinking into solitude Treasure oral speech sunken deep like coral reef Gold indeed, holding throwing heat so get far Blue pills, so asleep, slow as sheep, grow to be Something in the next life, blink and miss the best part Treasure oral speech sunken deep like coral reef Gold indeed, holding throwing heat so get far Red pills, forest green, totally open sea Son with two thumbs up luck, hitch a ride on this star Extrinsic motivations paired with prayer's pretentiousness Unaddressed to whom it may, like Arecibo messages In the dojo fighting fate, weak faith, hands folded He only half noticed as he sat half-lotus The uppercase 'H', he creates the cryptofauna Wrote the whole world in upside-down and backwards katakana Then handed you the keys to the things that afflict hearts To kick-start dreams so where the Taurus beams flick darts and
