about

this is that walking home around 5am shit.. the solace of daybreak

..a fitting note to close the show with i think?

lyrics

chorus:
long walker, sky talker
fly tongue
divine sum
equal with every part of the sun
split the shine and still catch it
nowhere to run
the last days
but i feel like we've only begun

verse:
for most cats rap is put on
like fitted hats
like red dawn, like vietnam
i throw em bak like..
heineken bottle caps relax or
get collapsed like a puppet w the strings cut
i'm not only bak for more but i'm rollin my sleeves up
pissed once i found there's no just-ice,
there's just-us (trust)
as this living were given can have you feeling plush
i tip my hat to the wind and proceed to shake the dust..
feeling like its my time to go
for every way they say today is impossible
and break it down cuz i gots to kno
bought my ticket for the ride now lets start the show
gather round like a circle for the hurt
no perch
anonymous as the bottle in the bag
we choose to quench our thirst
keep a fire inside,
but not for next time..
i can't abide so i put it inside of every line
lay it out so without a doubt i can say its mine
the path i've made with paid dues and by my own design
a steady chase for the horizon
its just another case of demand for what we supplyin
and i'm just another peasant facing down the tyrants
cuz whatever they selling, i can't buy it
no denying the lies yet we keep trying..
off balance
in perfect step with the timing..
flashing lights under the spell of the siren
sublime as the trope
broken by indigo rising..
they can't cope
i'm fine spun
tighten my belt, as i expel the smoke
raise a toast as we proceed to float..
seek asylum between the notes
where you can find me residing,
no goodbyes needed
when you're always arriving..
