Light can’t tell what the dark sides sense
Life glow swells as the matter gets dense
Been near hell but never jumped the fence
Cuz when all goes well i will see you in the present tense
———————————
Dense tension dents intense stations of the past
Distentions of this temporary temporality at last
Rolling out the canvas and propping up the mast
Sailing far past gravity going way too fast

It’s a blast relaying all the many innovative ways to say
All the dragons that I slay with my linguistic DNA
Find another way to win tomorrow or today
On a mission to betray every transmission I delay

It may seem like playing to the misfortunate few
Who misconstrue what I do as a hell I can’t get through
How do you do, dude I convey to you too
I wear white dad shoes and jeans that are blue

Sleeves rolled up on button down Van Heusen
With a hoodie over it all I’m not accustomed to losing
Been snoozing on this musical fusion for too long
Started wheezing on these Wheaties I been eating ‘em all wrong

Living in the past no path to the finish
Tension gets cast in a stash to diminish
Winning cats always have to grab for the spinach
Swig that glass full of cab bitter vintage

Winter sets in, wind whips in a blizzard
Chicken limbs ripped then flipped with the gizzard
Gritty kids snicker at the lips of a lizard
While they watch which witch gonna win as a wizard

All along I thought this song would follow a certain pattern
Ended up not mattering to my brain as I began pattering
Spattering all the spew is the best that I can do
Can’t solve the world’s problems but I consulted on a few

Mountain Dew-fueled hooligans fooling with the future
Sewing up incisions like a surgeon with a suture
Past already happened
The future gonna catch me nappin’
Gums gonna keep on flappin’
When a heavy metal kid starts rappin’

Slapping the living crap out of every trapped foe
let me know they wanna go vocabularily toe to toe
Or mano-a-mano with the Scrabble commando
Can’t control the flow of all the dope trivia that I know

This nonsense tense dissention is such a mess
But I confess I find it less than preposterous
I look best in dress made of obsequiousness
Unless acquiescence injects some intense stress

I confess professional progression has never been an obsession
While amateur success has ever been out of the question
Proximately witnessing history’s infinite progression
I’m finished with the mission of defining my depression

Commercial intermission interrupting the immersion
Excursion into aversion recursion insurgence
Just hurling words cuz their attributes seem similar
I gotta lotta problems respecting peoples’ perimeters

Altimeter estimating the amount of the elevation
I can’t evade enduring aggravating sensation
Although every experience has been worth it in my estimation
Like kicking it with Kim and the kids out on vacation
