Springtime for Man's Son The space between green grass and a snow pile Survived the cold now I grow with my own style It's like the first day you notice the bird sounds I recall easily it's when I wrote this verse down The harsh months, the drinks, the shit was ugly That frozen ground make you wish for muddy There's a girl named May she's April's cousin Every day I wait till she say she's coming She bring the green with her, she got a mean sister Name's June, nobody you know bring the heat quicker Seasons made to deceive like a flea flicker But sitting in my cave I develop a deep picture I live through it then equate it to music From New Hampshire, others from a state of confusion I'm in too deep to play with emotions When there's hurricane winds stay away from the coast Write in the winter Robert Frost in my veins, I get lost in the change, what an author would say Turn a collage to a wall solid gray, then get lost in the fog on your God's holiday Glaciers melted we should've drowned a long time ago Environment suffers but that's just on a minor note Vision changed like I climbed in a kaleidoscope Ideas fragment, erasing what I might've known It took a week to write this song and in that time The temperature went from forty seven to twenty nine And back to fifty, sprouting green create a canopy The months of hibernation are known to sedate your sanity Middle of March we get hit with the frost Sharpening my icy poem to the wickedest art Delirium hidden in twists in the plot A season changes and you're forced to come to grips with it all The lack of sun is known to give you withdrawal, but when it comes back I'll be right out to kick it with ya'll The lack of sun is known to give you withdrawal, but when it comes back I'll be right out to kick it with ya'll It's the time we must break the frozen shackles Irrigate the fear away, spit out the poison apples

Intruding the Treacherous Get a chance better check your wallet Someone's scheming on you when the check deposits Can't collect if you bet and lost it Hands drip sweat in your empty pockets There's an intruder subdividing subconscious Living in a house full of things you never wanted Can't choose your thoughts, they can prove you wrong Loosen screws change who you are When your head's made up of only a piece that's sane One piece complains, and you never sleep the same Rummaging through the deepest depths of your mind And while you think you're asleep you're taking steps in the night Can't see what has crept up behind The paranormal is normal if you let it inside Understand it as a regular vibe Another texture to try, intrude treacherous minds And if the sickness runs through ya Best not pick the role of intruder I'm swift with vicious manueuvers Known to rip through malicious intruders Intrusion, smooth on removing Everything in your head maybe later you'll get tuned in Who's the ruler of your emotions? Once more the front door's what you fear most I walk out it, the front it was all crowded Feeling like a dream for some reason can't snap out it A man shouted but I couldn't see him Cuz my mind's an ancient, dark empty coliseum Known to scare those that won't prepare For the frozen stare, most get enclosed in fear Go back down the darkened stairs, to the basement Take time and start from there Hard years where the art's prepared Don't cross the line, less you got heart to spare Just to be yourself brings complacence Lock the doors, watch for the invasion

Paisley Everywhere I draw on sources inportant to where the vibe comes from Arise as one to the marvel that is the rising sun Colliding colors the struggle as dark divides the tongue Survive the slump with the hopes you can maybe strive for once Life is rough like sandpaper, or wire brush Times are tough when you're looking for piece of mind to clutch I found mine in a paisley painted room As I try to get away from what was made to be assumed I found solace in the shape of a droplet Like dressing up shit, I decorated my losses Found it all in the paisley department Some people even said that I was crazy to start this I make music call it state of the heartless It feels just like a song but I made it a conquest All dressed in patterns, you'd be hard pressed To find another mind with more creative compartments Look around at the swirling color palette Surrounds, within it lies the challenge To see inside of the cryptic message decoded A poem of living essence Construct a haven, my troubles are tucked away Under beds of colored clay Then deconstruct with the seasons and see the love When I need it I dream it up Baby's breath, a caress in a field of dandelions Gentle punch to the love, it's a new brand of violence In a corner, on the edge of the peak of stress So I escape to the place I can decompress Deflate the weight of mistakes for a freeer quest Mistake the ways of the sane for what fits you best Psychedelic is the best way I could tell it The greats turn weird when the course of life gets hellsih This is my canvas piece, abstract in a gallery Interpretations of flashbacks of the child in me Still hold on to the threads frayed amazingly Bookmark in time on the page everyone came to see A nostalgia kick, godammit I'm proud of it Gray skies rain down, now in a cloud I live Life is crazy, life is paisley Everything alive wilts like a dying daisy Look around at the swirling color palette Surrounds, within it lies the challenge To see inside of the cryptic message decoded A poem of living essence Construct a haven, my troubles are tucked away Under beds of colored clay Then deconstruct with the seasons and see the love When I need it I dream it up

My Aim is to Disappear On a never ending quest to feel something But where will I end up is the subject of real wonder The doorstep of two decades, rapping on this earth Not bad from a start as an accidental birth when your roots grow from the sand, there's no future for you man Things I do so I can stand on two feet, I won't do again Going deeper than a music trend, gray so I refuse to blend Amused by every you and them, alone so I don't choose my friends They tell me I am nothing, sell me something barely wanted Innocence lost, second I was cut from the cord in my belly button From there the judgement comes, the tug of war of what you want They say the poor are fucking up, the rich are more corrupted ones So hard I try, bipartisan, walking lines My aim is to disappear, preferred if you thought I died So hear the hurt from my heart, and feel all the things I say I never dream of the future, I only bring you today Hands of time go around like a gyroscope Plant the mind in the ground it will finally grow Plan escape to a way long rhyme ago But I stayed so I fade to some kind of ghost (x2) In between, what can be but isn't seen My canvas is smeared with dreams, but the landscape is incomplete I venture to a place not many wanna ever know well Damage gets done but you never go tell Hold it all in under paper thin shell I know that fake grin is a way for you to help On the outside maintain, inside fading The day to day way I play is draining Love is a resource depleted and we need more My soul is a fossil washed up on a seashore Still waiting to be born Took away the sky now there's nothing to reach for Life is a full contact sport Know the struggles of others, we all fought that war Blend in like a face on a subway Be sure to look away the population is ugly It's not the things that you wanna see You've clearly never been if all I hear's what you're gonna be Can you follow me comfortably? You'd be surprised at all the things that come from just one emcee Collaborate with the past mistakes Bags packed on the path to great Axis acts to navigate, safely Through the murky waters that I have escaped But not without a penalty Knowing that the ideal example is what I'll never be In the closet with the barbwire Body looking like it was caught in a crossfire Scars on me like a deathmatch wrestler Then I close my eyes and I see paisley everywhere Hands of time go around like a gyroscope Plant the mind in the ground it will finally grow Plan escape to a way long rhyme ago But I stayed so I fade to some kind of ghost (x2)

Playing Chess with a Checkered Past The origin, place it starts Seen things not for the faint of heart Turn a bloody history to language arts First I had to go back and change some parts You got a checkered past, we play chess here Only say truth, make this your best year Hip hop people we be staying close knit Walk up in the place and they say oh shit Seth on Gray Street got a style you can grow with Hide my emotions, cry in the ocean Clutch to it like a child with a blanket Comes through into my mind when I made this Bet you wish you could bottle up and save it A new model's created when it's outdated Don't gotta shout like a loud neighbor But never step in front of a crowd without flavor If it's too gray add a splash of color Nothing in our pockets but we have each other (x2) I'd rather be even keel, than keep it real Hold all the secrets to be revealed If you don't need it just leave it here Drop off all the baggage from the recent years Lift the weight and escape, try to forge a pathway Time's defined by much more than bad days Hard to see when the war comes back Right at your front door then the floor collapsed Start to think you were born to lack But I like to believe I'm too mature for that Got too many miles on the course of rap Tore up a dirt road on a horse's back Live on like this song, sit back on a long ride Ten years from now, set it free from the archives It's a way I can live to tell When my organs are all gone, bodie's just a shell If it's too gray add a splash of color Nothing in our pockets but we have each other (x2) I go on living, experience it, write it down and hope you get it Peer into the past at your old school image Look at your life now there's so few in it Solitary symptoms Everybody's gonna feel lonely sometimes Caught in the dark wishing for the sunshine More than can be conveyed in just one rhyme Addicted to the feeling I get when I'm on mics Never less as the years elapse Now residing on Gray Street paying property tax A sloppy verse from a glass of whiskey Pour it over ice on a night to live free One message I gather with some effort From your summer tanktop to fall sweatshirt Expose your feelings, it's so appealing Got a lot of issues but you know I'm dealing

I Feel No Pain Every person on earth is conditioned to feel pain Emotion in music helps the listener keep sane My big brain allows me to feel the strain of others Listen to my song infinitely bonded in pain we're brothers Dull the sensation like the endings of my nerves were damaged It goes away in the swaying of daily circumstances What's left behind is a residue of past hurt My remedy is to relive the pain backwards Exit my body, the tension and years of worry Planted to keep returning, I walk in the fields of hurting Every instance leaves a mark that's unseen Or a scar that runs deep on a heart to come clean More broad than a part of one thing My formula for relief, gotta start with something Whether holistic or a drink so you can heal today This is my written attempt to feel no pain You might wake up, feel the sun's warmth to start your day You might reach for a drink just to stop the shakes You might wallow in your ways just to make it worse You might find the words I say are an escape from hurt We're all destined for let downs and rejection Like venom from a best friend, some words are more effective Sometimes you brush it off, other times absorb it Pain is like a fortress for temporary courtship Feelings palpable, color palettes are out of view Everything is gray before the break for skies of powder blue It will get better soon, you don't accept the wishes Loading ammunition in a coping mechanism Aim for a second vision, a sacred home for pain I scrape and show the blade like I was numb from novocaine Let this song be your morphine drip There's more than what you have seen on this awful trip I feel no pain
