Got some change in my pocket.
Ain’t quite enough for bus fare.
And the way that things are lookin’…
I might not have, the strength, for what’s at stake, what it takes…
To make it on my own.
(to make it my own…)
On my own two feet.
(Take a chance, don’t hesitate, it can’t wait)
I think I should go home…
(believe you can fly)
------
(I’m ready to go home)
I guess I’ll be back in town.
-----
These winding roads...
(They take me home, they let me know, they set the tone)
(Home again)
At least I know that I can have closure...
(closure) [x2]
…some closure…..
(closure….) [x2]
*Drum Solo* (vocalese)

Verse 1:
Lets get down to brass tacks.
I’m spitting hard facts...
…of fallacy
Culpable strategies, of analogies.
Prime time, rhymes like a fine wine.
Dangling grapes, from the vine of consciousness.
Straddle the noble steed of competence.
Postulating prophecies
Populating oddities
Homeboy astronomy
Tolstoy economy, that’s Soviet.
Poetry Nobel laureate.
Authoritarian, synergistic, and gregarious
Verse 2:
My wit? It’s sharp as stone.
Break beats like tooth to bone.
Murder rhymes like Al Capone.
Like Sam Jackson as Frozone.
A calzone from Calcutta.
Curried up like Steph.
"Pizza Time", like Peter Parker.
"Price is Right", like Bob Barker.
Accreditation of an Ivy League,
You might be pleased.
My bars? Enticing.
Lyricism? Exciting.
Dave’s drums? The right thing.
The next bars are trifling...
Call me Zeus, on Mt. Olympus
Y’all bout to catch this lightning...
Chorus:
The Big Red Dog, (imma call him Clifford)
Regis squad (call me Kathy Lee Gifford)
Talkin’ Draco (not Aubrey Graham)
Like Malfoy (We let the beat Slytherin).
Outro:
Shout out Elon Musk, shout out Grimes
Shout out baby, whose name nobody can pronounce
(Including the baby themselves)

I've seen my own portrait...
(Hello, hello)
A picture's worth a thousand words,
And all I can see are reflections.
(Misdirection)
Confined within myself,
Staring into my life.
I feel the waves,
I'm not afraid
Where are you taking me...?
(Hello, hello)
Unfurling.
Unwinding.
Uncurling.
So blinding.

Two points converge beyond the observable horizon
Forgotten to beget, doomed to achieve ill-gotten gains
Of which no qualms exist, for they have been searched and desist;
Resisting their trajectory as if to plot a foul and devious treachery
Forget this. These are thoughts of heresy.
A travesty committed across the amalgam of perceivable knowledge
Perturbed and mildly disturbed
Protruding from the shadows of sanity, yet starved
Starved of the arid continence of re-orientation
Commence the countdown
3…to... None
In a flash, the downpour commences, and we assume the crux of being
Can we truly grasp what we cannot have?
To slip through the fingers of our own understanding.
I don’t understand, nor do I wish to.
We all have, if anything, a prime directive to beget the forgotten
Forsake the mistaken, cast aside the dark, and chase the light.
A farce within a fallacy; a massive travesty.
A crime truly committed without being seen, or heard.
But can we slip past the grasp our fragility encompasses steadfastly?
We plod on, only to receive a glance of encouragement.
Met only be those that we sought to incarcerate through our inhibitions.
Prisoners of our own confinement, inmates of indecision.
We converge on the path of the forgotten
Who look past the forsaken, and set their sights
The horizon awaits. Yonder it lies for the treacherous.
