Throwing Shade
02:34
|
|||
There's a shadow you've carried with you
It's grown longer with time and exposure
The light you avoid
Daily basis habits
You spread your shade
Your negative force is contagious
The sun on your back
Your shape projects in front of you
Reach out and cast shadows
Based on the angle you're attempting
You've made impressions
They'll be what's left
When you've moved on
And digressed in stages
Those who know you
Flinch at first sign
An anxious cadence
The sad song of your footsteps
The dark presence drags heavily behind you
You've made impressions
They'll be what's left
When you've moved on
Reach out and cast shadows
Based on the angle you're attempting

No Value In Doublespeak
03:23

With a word that's worth 5 cents
How could I expect any different?
Making the same mistake repeatedly
Only indicates a dulled notion
A deluded taste that will produce a gut sick reflex
Imposing your will
Only to recast the same shadows
No value in your doublespeak
I may wither
I may weaken
But I will not break
Bending this time is not an option
Fuck another compromise
Disappointment, the wide eyes that precede it
It's time to face reality
Ensure my conviction is worth something
A tired routine
Not swallowing the same excuses
Your shit smells the same
Even if I forgot it
A trigger to what's unwilling
An aversive repercussion
Trust/mistrust
A tired routine
Not swallowing the same excuses
Your shit smells the same

Note of Defense
04:17
|
|||
This note is mine to own
Keeps safe in an assembled home
I have songs
In my ears and in my head
Preferred line of self-defense
Attempts to reject any threat
My speech is the only thing
Truly belonging to me
Preferred type of resistance
Making sense
A fickle design
Trying to make amends
What i can hear
What i can think
My weapon
Against... whatever
No
No one else
Knows
In my ears
In my head
My weapons of self-defense

Eating Crow
02:51
|
|||
Roadkill for dinner
Set in stone
Eat your words
Your own doing
A mouth full of words
That will end in retribution
Choking on syllables
Chalk full of disposition
Anemic of any logic
Balance restored
Weight of your words
Collecting examples
The words you speak, the crow you eat
An equal reaction
Your decisions cause receptions
An even keel
Presenting as an obstruction
The crow you eat
Lump in your throat persists
Regardless of context
Remember the feeling
Don’t let yourself forget
Protect and defend
Just think before you speak
Who’s within earshot of your spit
The shit you insist on saying?
Who are you offending?
Image does not reflect perception
