Phases 01:40
(((Phases))) Here I am Just a projection of sun moon & stars colliding With others that Im calling my fam Clan together like Wu Tang The movement is too strange For most to describe, loosen your shoe strings And relax We got some phases that are bound to slap Perception right into the tunnel you travel through on the map Little stops here and there are the lessons taught Pillars are wrought trying to hold up an image that was bought On this climb, i have to face the grime As my attention span lessens cause many thoughts invade this space and time And plugging out is my therapy mostly Falling out of the algorithm promotionals posts I see it if I can From a member of the vital organism Trying to keep it alive, a part of larger system My position will change As far as placement but in the grand scheme, creative building will constantly be arranged Last year was the halt of a cubicle as a second home That is truly not suitable Information, light speed, how it comes to us Only in this music, I have found strange kind of trust Phases

Wand of Fire 02:00
Living a life that I know is the truth Is in the line with that phrase "I don't need your proof" Just the grounded formulaic, lift the face provided for day to day trips that I ensue Iron out inner rigidness, face my own timidness, know that I'm limitless in this booth And out of course, find a source of inspiration, harness yet preserve so it can go towards the youth They are the caregivers, will we give em creation or destruction, time to choose A path of innovation before elimination of ourselves is knocking us out our shoes The universe is almost out of clues and I dont even know what else to do Except stay grounded when I hear the news And unleash it over beats that match a mood I give me the time to create an interstellar dynamic Thats in the foreground and still panoramic Encapsulates the sun, moon, stars and the granite Just enough imagery Embossed calligraphy Part of the roads being paved through the panic Inducing reality that many carry Weighted added drudgery, living with static It's famished to note this It's a wonder I wrote this Mind's too much in blunder to notice So i skate and write lyrics to cope with Everything through this silence and focus Admist the noise pollution we are engulfed in There's an eye within the storm that is open I need to believe in The changing of seasons It is bound to move when your views are in motion~ That is less than is known (Like a wand of fire) And it's just a view I've shown (Like a wand of fire) There is more to life, it's known (Like a wand of fire) And it's just another blown (Like a wand of fire)

Let It Pass 04:22
Ima let it pass, let it pass Ima let it pass, let it pass Ima let it pass, let it pass All the treasures that I want but am not ready to have Ima let it pass, let it pass Ima let it pass, let it pass Ima let it pass, let it pass If it's aligned with with my soul then that's something I can grab (I don't care about the truth) Couldn't find a reason to trust me But you found a reason to love me Could've been the fact that I'm human And the path I'm choosing is looking a little lovely I know these aren't reasons to stick around Looking inside out and lifting me through the bounds I escaped but didn't know that it was possible A psychedelic obstacle, evolving while I drop a few Those were the years of self discovery Zero discipline, spirited with the winds company Looking for answers to the questions asked drunkenly Bubbly filled, trouble greets when I turn down a cup of tea You became the voice of the guided Pulsating points during the enlightened Phases that I'm used to going alone, now I know that I'm home, whatever enters my zone Ima let it pass, let it pass Ima let it pass, let it pass Ima let it pass, let it pass All the treasures that I want but am not ready to have Ima let it pass, let it pass Ima let it pass, let it pass Ima let it pass, let it pass If it's aligned with with my soul then that's something I can grab During this meditation I am honing in on any hesitation Understanding it's presence and how it correlates with my present placement As well the origin, leaving me spacious Enough to receive what is coming, as long as fills in a gap that is needing replacing But careful enough not take in just anything because energy is ever so sacred I know that is heavy advice At times, I can't even focus and write The lines, I try to openly invite But find I'm binded by what's out of sight Longing for a light that I can't see Knowing that it's close and I can't reach Like the gates in flight and I can't breach Mind stimulated from the vice that I can't free Myself from And it's always a struggle so a fight will come Regardless of the hardships That I spar with It's alarming that I can beat some I guess, no wait, I know thats where your help came into save And gave aid to finally stave Blockades that I placed in my way It's awareness but more importantly air that is necessary to stare in the face of that which once scared me To explore Now the intents decided more fairly, building inside of my dreams, an ethereal library now... Ima let it pass, let it pass Ima let it pass, let it pass Ima let it pass, let it pass All the treasures that I want but am not ready to have Ima let it pass, let it pass Ima let it pass, let it pass Ima let it pass, let it pass If it's aligned with with my soul then that's something I can grab You became the voice of the guided Pulsating points during the enlightened Phases that I'm used to going alone Now that I'm finally home I'm in control of the zone

This is all a dream Not at all what it seems Just a forest in my mind Saw this wall inseamed Stops my soaring And there is always more to find Living in the realm of a past life Looking for a reason to act right Just another beam in the flashlight Of the memories I keep up in the back mind (mine) Field and the dreams I seen but never had tight Grips upon, letting it breathe then it flatlines Backfire inspirational means and escape the gleam as I demean all that I find Bury it, never (never) carry it Over any beats that I would dare to spit On as well as any instruments that are placed inside the perimeters I live on Just a view of how I used to get on Without consideration and accountability for any of the shit I did wrong But it seems the tide'll change with this song Go from Zero illustrated, many thoughts are ill fated Some'll be elated to find that they aren't berated But worked in a form that is similar to a scene catered To a target audience. which in reality favours My own personal dopamine aiding All of the signs that are giving off negative energy later Right into the crosshairs of any pre-hater Seen through the perception of a mentally ill creator Just a bit and a fraction of everything I've dealt with Digitally written in apps and paper with felt tips Lyrical exchanging with many others is helping And lifts me up from the surface when everything feels like its melting And wilting away Like flowers in a garden with no sun or kiss from the rain It's a must while I explore more of this Frontier, seek with a new coordinate~

Slowerdive 02:42
Putting a cap on the pool, make sure no one else dives just to show it's cool. I think it best describes ego tripping Little vixen told me earlier to get the fixings And so I shall, Im under a spell Slowdiving and unable to unsheath what I withheld On this sheet, memories are unveiled Preliminary offerings to see myself meld with an entirely different life form that I held On the day of her birth And so I step into the light again And all the truth that was buried before comes in to sight to mend The past and the present My last incondescent was properly documented With these raps Im inventing Masked intervention Never had the time to mention how I've always wanted to make beats but never grabbed a lesson Hopefully in the future, I'll be letting portions of its reasons for living enter in my confections Just a theory inscribed to my adolescence inviting the art of essence and crash like the architect when I get the go ahead to reboot the entire system Like squadrons of virus protecting agents out on their missions Listening for any signs of reasoning Hitting faster than before until we all can breathe again. I'm.... Looking up and at the same time falling Right into all that we are (2x) We are, we are....
