There are tiny tremors that rock the boat But all it seems to do is float As it engages on the rocky sea As people wonder what the fuck is up with me And I can’t explain That I just come down with the rain And the pain Is sweet as the music Andrew plays As he sings away my days Into a crescendo of perfect purpose And the rigmarole seems like a circus Everybody loves But those gloves Don’t fit me anymore So I just shut the door On them And some part of me says Amen
The control and the weariness As I trek down the path they mark But I think they’re stumbling in the dark Trying to cut a swathe I was a person the darkness saved From being a rote learned bitch It saw me open and made the switch Now I’m the nothingness expanse The emptiness when it starts to dance And there is no way to compare What was to what isn’t there And Mooji says we’re cool And I graduated from school With the best I could I swore I would leave that wood Behind with my peace of mind As Tru spoke to me and I took it to heart There was a life which depart And I met another pair of eyes That looked at me with no disguise And he is the Heaven and Earth to me It’s fifteen years and I let him see That a gravity in his bones Walked me right out of my alones And she was by my side I dunno why I thought to hide What was real and raw From the viciousness of an outlaw Who abides not in time It’s all I can do to make it rhyme Zippered in a tent so tight And I wonder if we’re alright In the place it hurts I don’t want to make it worse But I think you need to hear it from me I take off my glasses and now I see
I envisioned the whole scene
It was like a fuckin dream
Where I had the central role
And what's up for grabs is my soul
As I ride the subway train
Or walk Kilglass in the rain
Somehow it's all the same
I flash my metro card
And some guy helped me coz it was hard
To figure out as I traipse down the stairs
Wondering if anyone cares
And I know she does but she's got laws
It's winter and the summertime thaws
Out the vestibules of old sand
Pearls out of what was underhand
And I divide the spoils I've earned
But all my profit only burned
What was left of me
The remnants an effigy
Of a spiral diagram I sketched
But the problem hit and I retched
And sought salvation in a clinic
It looks fine from the outside but once you're in it
You come to know that there are rules
That I can't ace like I did in school
So I sit in the music room
Abject to the sound of doom
Or wander down the hall
As the world explodes from it all
How do you say kunalini, one, two, three
But they don't listen to me
