Description

Written and recorded over "Horizon" from the album Modal Soul by Nujabes. Engineered and mixed by One Love. Stream of Consciousness Stream of consciousness, infinite beams of nonsenses / Like a fleeting optimist in the apocalypse / Or dreams of dominance the closest thing to Godliness / Somehow searching for truth inside a script / Vowels & consonants with meaning only I can glimpse / Freedom of speech impedes with constantness / My thoughts recede like continents needing mental pangea / Only stating obviously where the pencil lands deeper / To reach the ear of hearers lyrics need be clearer / But what if the ear is merely he of seer in the mirror / That's all I see in this sea of seers peering from the theater / The peanut gallery's rather my peepers peering from nearer / My own naked reflection in the faces of my peers / This stream of consciousness arches from artists like aiming pee-ers / Breather, who am I writing or reciting for? / Thinking cleverer, better or whatever so it's liked much more / I hope you listen & envision this indifferent scribbling / Maybe to find a message in this mess if not there isn't then / This room is nothing but a prison that I'm living in / My own mind's exposed rhymes are bars I bang a tin against / Whether they're kin or friend or distant witnessing my vocal spin / The thickness of my skull which are these walls is always closing in / Is it selfish to say that y'all are just figments? / Of vivid imagination, emancipated from in this? / Probably it is, honestly I'm still that kid which / Likes to play with words & let the noise move me, for instance / Gibberish giblets, bickering bigots, pickling picnics / Sniveling snippets of devlish dead beats / This lead beast so gnarly snarled darkly through this next sheet / That bled & squeaked, squirrely burrowing squirmishly, & / Blurtingly squirted some blurry speech, something bout geez / Forget about words, let the sounds speak, like... / Chorus: 8 bars. Flow of awareness, knowing what there is / Going the road so many pary & openly sharing / Vocalists sparing important declarings / Boastingly blaring erroneous clearance of what is wholesome when compared with / Soulful experience, 'though spoken I fear it / Most of us know it can be scary when noting the buried / Close to this very I hold it the dearest / Let's go somewhere that our ghosts are the rarest, Oh I hope someone will hear this / Wordsmith in a lyrical guild / Here it's enstilled in scripture, interior filled / With mixtures of both fear & a feeling so ill / I picture this being here still for years if I'm killed / But mister, who am I but a speck in the greater scheme? / Fying freely through the scen'ry was my favorite dream / Reocurring like the current in a wavy stream / Of thought movements I choose this 'cause it was made for me / Gratefully I play some beats & I'm great to these / Then gracefully I say my peace & I pay by ceasing / Soon as the beats over my feet go up / Then the boom of the beast flower will keep go'n' up / & dissipate into the room as when trees smoked up / Choked up when I'm finished 'cause all I see is hope bruh / Blessed be my soul for this gift of music / I just hope somebody listens to it / & since you did I'm infinitely indebted to ya / All credit due to the people I'm being better through ya / Who'd of knew the dude'd do it weller / Hella sweller mellow fellow turned super teller / Newer fresher beauty mesher who knew fewer's extra / One boy turned man on a huge adventure / From kid to grown up these rhythms have been my loaner / Of company, lovely how they'd come to me, many sunk in deep / Hungry I would hunt for beats, when something sweet my rhyme empowered / It was the will of a higher power that I could flower / This life of ours is precious let's take advantage / & explore our gifts turning hobbies into more than it / Of course I'm quick to simplify what is in my eyes / It just seemed to make sense when I did, know why? / Bridge I don't wa...
