lyrics

"ARCHITECT"

Newsense (verse 1)
I’m the architect of a hard to catch punch line
I blame cloud nine for trying to steal my sunshine
Unwind at lunchtime binge on food for thought
Results is regurgitated ideas and proof that the truth is lost
I search for it in the eyes of every stranger that passes me by
Search in my lovers face right after she’s been crying
I might catch a glimpse they might hold nothing
Drip gator tears I rock a crocodile smile we’re cold blooded
This we know for a fact everything falls apart
Adapt to circumstance like my eyes adjust to the dark
But then again I could live my life at a slow pace too not to speed it up
Hit the fast gears watch the clock catch up as I decombust
The truth lies where deception walks erect
Each step is in some way symbolic to a deep breath
Waiting to exhale has been making my chest frail for decades
Run the tracks till my lungs collapse and end up in a neck brace

Chorus (repeat x 2)
I want to know if we can see without eyes
I want to know if we can speak without lies
So I’m a open up my chest and you can touch me for a while
Let Heaven send Hell away and cut me with a smile

Newsense (verse 2)
This juggernaut stays constantly on the hunt
I do what y’all cannot fake crews get sabotaged
My entourage makes moves that’s nonchalant
Whether you Private or a General salute the Commandant
I sacrifice my songs to the Gods its disturbing the way I slaughter tracks
Making metronomes flat line giving young men heart attacks
We compare graffiti to things like hieroglyphic artifacts
Burning more trees than brush fires getting blitzed like quarterbacks
Doors collapse never conform to ignore the facts
Knowledge is truth we seek the realness living life at a pace that’s more than fast
Chronological order it’s kind of hostile but sort of
Stopping the clock on all the controversy that surrounds the borders
Front like you got the answers but in actuality
We analyze each others dreams and still can’t figure out reality
My beautiful minds got a more than horrible will
I think in haikus and got oratorical skills
When the Sun burns out all you need is just patience
Let me open my rhyme book shine some light on the situation
Straight out the pages brightest ideas illuminating
The night sky playing connect the thoughts to make constellations

Chorus (repeat x 2)
