lyrics

Jeediem, supplier of all the fly loops
Melted cheese on the plates I’m trying to pry loose
Freestyling to beats bumping from my phone speakers
Dry my hands to scribble down a thought, my sole reason
Otherwise, the ink will run and lose the lines I wrote
Memory fails, pretty sure that it was kinda dope
But my supply is not coming to a dire close
Quenching thirst from a fountain of a fire hose
…I suppose that I maybe I should chill a bit
Unplug from all the rush and hit the wilderness
…But making things is what fulfillment is
So take these wings to fix the gilded gift
Icarus in first class with the vinyl drop
Melted wax and it is piping hot
Hell and back with the tire wear to prove it
The caravan of bruises simply for amusement
Videodrome back in the day made with 2Sick
Alluded to other things, sometimes simply made illusions
The pace I’m choosing is mine, not for other folk
Rainy days I watch the drainage on the gutter choke
Running outside, hope the basement doesn’t flood again
Use a couple sticks to lift the mess and rush to them
See, that shopVac is kinda worn
New roof so this house can then survive the storm

surrounded by plants at the dining room table
My sons are playing minecraft right now
A load of laundry is whirring the basement
mic on a tupperware lid like how?

Shapeshifting to my life so can I find my form
A rose by any other grave may only cry a thorn
So we sop the damage, cover up the emptiness
Looking for guidance beyond us, tentative
Permission doesn’t come from them unless we make it so
With a sampler’s eyes, I see the vultures taking notes
A graceful hope is what we’re given to leave neglected
When arriving in a spot, I simply peep the exit
Insecurity has made a home inside of us
Too busy to stop and wonder why it was
A lion cub baptized by the fire’s thrust
Glass eyes, losing marbles in a time corrupt
Line them up, all the obstacles we made with care
Anything to keep us stuck and staying there
Pray a prayer think a thought and watch them disappear
Taken to the brink of naught, the frost’s sadistic leer
And this is how we score the game
Talk about instead of play parlays ignore the pain
Leaking batteries in beacons of hope
Morse flickers SOS, as we speak it in code
Swords to plowshares heed the call of the rust
So make sure to come back to home with all of your blood
