It was like this and it was like that ...picture perfect with a golden glimmer on the glass (x4) she was something out a movie with her friends getting groovy I was down the block in a two seat, hooptie loosely loopy stationed at the wheel I climbed out the passenger side seat blindly must've followed her perfume cause I don't recall the view but tunnel vision, I do I was sick to my stomach nervous as a train wreck that hadn't wrecked yet full speed ahead just realizing that the tracks are soon to end, damn clammy hands again duck into the corner store wipe em on my under shirt as I compile words can't make sentence I wonder if my nervousness will come off offensive maybe I should give up maybe I should head home what's all the fuss about just being alone but It was like this and it was like that picture perfect...with a golden glimmer on the glass (x2)(1:38) choke back nervous tears and choke slam the fears step from the shadows like a man she wants to be near proud and strong but not pompous at all won't be over baring but be there for every fall her pretty pig tails both danced and flapped in the sunshine like a pair of angels wings finally knowing how much beauty and angel brings cause i've met a lot devils and their painful stings too busy for love caught up in wasteful things she was a breath of fresh air a taste of new haven and if she told me to wait i'd be more than complaisant compliant and patient not a day would feel wasted (cause) it was like this and it was like that picture perfect...with a golden glimmer on the glass (x3) (2:28) I guess I was a fool cause I kept my head high and maintained my stride while stepping towards the group now all her friends saw couldn't stop looking at me made a hole in their circle opened wide for your daddy put my right foot forward dropped to my back knee held a soda pop top and asked her marry me I said I don't know you but I can see you're an angel and it'd be wrong for us to ignore what fate pulled out of it's hat pre wrapped and gave us as a gift so in the spirit of that I extend to you this it's not a diamond ring but it's an honest man's promise if you accept this a bright future is upon us and i'll carry you all the way in sickness and in health I first saw you today you made my heart melt (repeat hook x2 at end) this is a way i've never felt and I don't want to let it slip if could just get your name, everything'd be okay

Adele remix audio doctor can't you feel me near you, hear you are telling me i'm nothing once again, once again I thought that we we're friends but it looks like you just want to walk all over me, I guess so just go ahead...(go ahead) I won't stop you I won't stop you I won't even try to block you see my hands behind my back tied to belt around my waist trying to prevent this now would just be more of your time that I waste so I won't hesitate to take a punch take a smack take your words to the face swallow my pride and run the race or what little of it remains left from what we'd run together through our happier days I don't plan go far guess i'll see you on your visits cause you know when i'm away from home I get sick from the distance it just builds in my stomach I don't know why I love it sub city bi-product why hide from what you loved in the end you'll wind up stuck with everything shoved into the closet full of bones can't you feel me near, hear you are telling me nothing once again, once again what thoughts running in your head since you're not speaking, maybe you're thinking you should run instead gloves are down heels off time to run from feeling lost new city in a new state new life with a new mate but a hearts the hardest part of someone you'll ever have to break so the gloves are on, and heels high time to give this another try hope he loves like you love him I hope you rightfully crushed him so you can come dust him off enough was already lost time build again and you put the first puzzle piece in but that's not your voice screaming from the upstairs bedroom what's this meaning what's the reason never mind you'll find some like you....

Never come back klaanegemaane Ma’ can you hear me? I’m going far Papa can you hear me? I’m going far Old friends can you hear me? I’m going far Old friends can you hear me? I’ll never come back I’m going far Traveling a new path Keep your eyes off the window I’ll never come back (x4) (0:45) See this one night ...I was king in a momentary Second of your silence I saw the light I give no damn if you noticed Due to the motion of your eyelid It can be partially depicted By the color of your iris And the trail that it project Though out the darkness that I live Illuminating shadowed corners Of lost corridors that I left Quietly buried for years Next to the peers That I intentionally forced Off of the dock into wars With their mentally repressed self Hidden outside of the lines That everyone reads between Close both your eyes Now tell me what you see See it’s just me in the dark With no tricks up my sleeve No antennas to tell me words That my lips can’t leak But I’m sick of being me Twisted at the torso And I’m sick of being neat But I’ve got to clean more so I’m dying hopeless Here’s the diagnosis A sick individual who Don’t eat enough now Grew up in a tough crowd Lucky my growth spurt spit And decided to hit quick Or else I’d be malnourished Now and hungry as shit I’m skinny as a twig With a dense set of muscle Never learned the hustle Decided I’d work for it Cutting the dead weight and dirt Off my life like a proper florist Skull as thick as fucking forest Brain enchanted as a castle No monkey for ya back I am nobody’s hassle (1:52) I’m going far Traveling a new path Keep your eyes off the window I’ll never come back (x4) (2:15) Who you know as fresh as this With a flow that could invoke a lisp Who you know as fresh as this With a flow that roped an eclipse Open up your drought book So I can show it a real flow Water in my words Like I hydrate my verbs You were born to ride That why you’ve got a Seabiscut And he’s fast and all But you get tired of the land I was born to fly with my Nine Skybiscuts And I bloom beautiful As a hibiscus And while we were saving grace We never stopped to save your name But I know you’ve got a case So, you can state your claim Now just open up your face And I’ll listen while you explain But you’re persuasive as a face lift So my views remain the same That’s why I peaced at the cross roads For you to take the right path While I up and left home And I’ll never come back Living under circumstances that Taught me how the grow up quick There’s too much life to live To sit and piss it in the wind You would have seen hint If you weren’t so busy as shit Charging a hurricane with Your dribbling dick in your fist Now you’re just muttering bullshit Letting it slip from your lips It’s been about time to get a grip Tell me who got smoked in In that last bong rip I don’t see the glass coughing Or dissatisfaction with Itself and all it looks lost in But I see that in you often That smile means nothing Marching around Like the world owes you something Time to grow up Kids...

Hiphop beat 19 I move slow in a trance through the darkness stuck in a dance with the bones of the heartless they don't know I exist I don't know how to live glued to hollow bliss through a pair of cold lips I don't know how to part from this let alone how I started it up in my apartment the pen met parchment purposely so the tip wouldn't stick only ink perfectly fill the script nourish me I need this doctor don't you see flick your wrist, hurry please pass another match stick till the gas can catch it so close to home yet I feel so cold like I felt that in my marrow dealt another narrow minded moron with a plan scripted upon his hand like he won't sweat it off or smear it when he coughs don't sweat it kid i've met a lot of dim wits who think a spark of inspiration should be considered a gift and that it'll last longer than it was ever meant to live if they try to take it back realizing their mistake then just make a fist and pray they wall don't make it break cause they get stronger and faster every second that you wait and they spit a fresher flow then you could ever think to make with a pen that fell upon them at the dawn of the horizon with that feather in my grip and I will never quit rhyming moving through the groove like I knew it through and through booming through you like I knew you too and everything you love i'm in everything you touch I move slow in a trance through the darkness stuck in a dance with the bones of the heartless they don't know I exist I don't know how to live glued to hollow bliss through a pair of cold lips I don't know how to part from this let alone how I started it up in my apartment the pen met parchment purposely so the tip wouldn't stick only ink perfectly fill the script nourish me don't you hear me screaming or does no one open ears now I hear you scheming against me with fears now I know you're shy and quiet but your talk appears loud never been compliant but fuck it i'll cheers now (x2) ...here's how raise a hand drop your glass cover your mouth and hold your shit hole closed till the death of your fucking rap sick of ignorant crap misleading what people think about my own different thing it's a whole new kind of ring you don't box near me the truth is I fear belief faith and trust another tear drips but it falls like dust i'm not the only one to feel so crushed it's everyone it's everything it's them it's us but I only tremble in a room with you I can spit into this booth like who the hell knew this kid held anything more than a snooze button pressed in even my closest friends never could have guessed it and most of them now still can't attest it how could they chest it when they don't have the heart to turn and face themselves most of them yearn for an easier hell unable to tell still when the sky fell choking in an exhaust ridden cloud with no help only your god knows what I felt and I can only imagine all you were dealt I can only imagine we move slow while the world moves fast chasing a future overcome by a past that has long been cast to the buried shadows that we never look back at scratched till the last bit of nail broke off, so lost and I fear what we gained will never be worth all the pain that it caused and all the better parts of us, the journey cost and all the better parts of us the journey cost burn that note that's all that's it all she wrote while the candle stayed lit lucky I don't need even a a bit of light to spit actually I prefer it though i've been polite since you stepped in and flipped the light switch i've remained calm forced to face the storm and the wreckage left behind from how far i've gone I hated who I was but now I stand afraid of what i've become a monster to some a monster so young just another boy or a man with a gun used to be a toy but those games are done these bullets are real and they hit you with the decibels these bullets are real and they hit you with the decibels these bullets are real and they hit you with decibels decibels

One after another they moved so fluent but they didn't step through it together they took their leaps and bounds i've never shook the screams they let out oh that sound echoes in my head so damn loud so loud, pick a pitiful flower pluck another pedal i'd do it myself but here making metal some to break the trees and some to vacate each broken piece then some to take the space where mother nature laid her, seeds I don't want to speak please leave I come in peace but i've got to eat and we've got little ones we need to feed I grew up in your branches I hope you understand this is nothing personal I don't want to hurt you I understand fully, what life is worth to you thank you for supporting a roof over my head with the various dimensions of all of your legs if you weren't already dead, from being processed then you must have suffocated being covered by the paint (x3) ... you must have suffocated .... you must have suffocated (1 36) your life was perfect your life was beautiful i'm always nervous nothing seems suitable you weep through your willows we weep in our pillows and sleep just the same at the end end of each day with nothing much say we walk passed our own that are hungry cold left without a home not a change in our face just a forward glare cause I don't quarter in my pocket I can spare and I don't have the time to find out if they're sincere but I don't think, no I don't think you would care you'd bend a branch before they could even ask help them start a fire to turn parts of you in ash feed it when it gets low and he's asleep, and doesn't seem to know choking in the smoke, but no you won't complain and you won't worry about him telling people your name you'll be okay with no one knowing all that you did that day since after all, that wasn't why you did it in the first place in the first place when I first saw you you were tall you were reaching for sun and you reflected every last bit of it's luminescent essence and when I came back to find you and stood right where I always stood right beside you ...I stood on concrete ...in the shadow ...of a structure that scraped the sky for only a moment before it punctured ...where did I go? ...why did I leave? ...where have I been? ...where did they take you? ...what did they make you? ...into.... how can I fix this? ...i've made a mistake I let you down while I went to break ...myself ...and waste everything I was dealt all that my mother and my father put their nails to the floor and dug for ...and what do I have to show for since I'm not dead, from being processed i'll probably suffocate in the mask I made (x3) i'll probably suffocate ... i'll probably suffocate in the mask I made....

You're gone, shit, you left a long time ago but the cigarette smoke won't come out the cloths you'd out grown before you skipped town and left me home alone with your posters on wall and that bottle of cologne meed in the mug and that shattered house phone you didn't take much so the time it took was long to piece together that you're gone a lot of staring at the lawn covered in dead leafs born from lifeless silent trees but how they scream in the slightest breeze waiting for the squeak of your near dead breaks and your headlights to pour in and drown out the darkness life's been hard since you up jumped ship but I can't blame you I don't even really know if you were able to swim maintain your head above the water you stepped in but you left me here with a whole lot of goblins and no escape path no way to stop them but my heart lives it fosters a flame what it cost is to blame for what it caused and became a closet of fame with a monsters name and what I chalked up to gain just don't compare to what I lost to decay that day, that day(x2) (Repeat “movin on” through sample every 1st beat) moving on up if I can't hold it down MY shoulders are to blame got a name to maintain and I can't stay in your shadow when it ceased to exist got my own life to live and a pair of lips to spit look I got a fist and a mic and it fits look I got a closet filled with egg crates and gifts unwrapped ready to give to these under exposed kids who aren't ready to hear this passion from pure bliss I don't even want the money fuck the cheddar fuck the cheese i've been stacking tracks since I was thirteen steady honing a flow that on it's own could be the beat and you can freely see that in the A Capella’s that I bleed you watched me grow, then I watched you leave you don't stop to say hello but my fingers keep the peace cause you'll be back I know, this I don't just believe (x2) (repeat “i've grown” through 2nd part of sample every 1st beat) (starts at end samples line) i've grown from a poem to a distinctly broken stolen omen coped with the open ly hopeless closed in choices chosen for they're backwards motion like what you dove in  and the water looked great, how could I not leap and taste it lips of new haven on a Livestrong bracelet break it, face it I don't need to embrace it physically to make it a reality safely I remember faintly things you would say to me between stopping in then leaving again never helping with the ghosts that were creeping in announcing when here with nails on the door like they had my fear but they wanted more found the power of a pen after drawing on my desk and i'll never forget the strength it came with like I couldn't cave in so pen strokes in the dark wrote them off that made me strong maybe that's what you wanted for me all along so thank you all is what I meant to say when I wrote this song (repeat as outro) Shiki No Uta - Audiodoctor

Hiphop beat 7 It was always about the music I never meant to lead a life Intending to be the Baddest or phatest of rappers I only meant to leave the life Of pretending to be different Than the rest of you bastards And look at me now Just a classic example Caught up in the text Book binding of irony ...I don’t know what You were able all To find in me Pirated lifestyle Off my brothers back Picking up work shifts Where all the others slack Feel like a thief with Heavy back pack Disappointed in myself But I guess that’s rap There’s a lot I don’t get yet And more I’ll never understand Picked up the plan A little early in the game Expounded on it quick As I could stand now I’ll Never be the same man Understand that? Well that’s easy to grasp There’s truth intertwined with The lies anyone of the blind Will tall tell you That you’ll only see once Whittled down to the end of Your wits sparking a cracked bic To burn the last fuse attached To the last few in Your last pack of wicks And that happens too quick-ly But quicker than that is when The masses start quitting Falling off the track Tripping onto a new path Full of cracks and traps And holes in its theory But those are out of sight Plus it’s easier at first So it feels like a reward For doing something right Feel like a god with A needle in your veins Like a better version of your Self approaches When you get that powder In your nose kid I was blind before now My mind is open They can see that but They never seem to notice As is closes Slow in the beginning Till it slams and it locks And there’s no light in there Placed a hand on their chest There’s no fight left in here It was always about the music He was popping pills When he was only 13 Now he rolls with a filthy Rat pack of fiends Now deaf lead their blind But once upon a time We were like minded Individuals Now we stand divided As reciprocals But maybe he’s happier Than I am at least For the time being I stand Feeling like a less than me He carries a cross And with it no guilt, pain Or strain on his conscience For pain that he’s caused But I don’t need a new belief Just fresh breath to breathe And a recipe to finally Get some rest in peace He handed me a capsule You can sleep with these Be the king of the castle In your god like dreams I handed him the pills Proceeded to pedal passed him I love the pain that kills But never stopped to ask him How it’s come to feel And if he remembers passion What it was like when it would Reach down and touch your shoulder Every time I shook his hand His limp grip got colder He’d have seen his darkness If he could find a mirror It’s not like he was heartless He just couldn’t hear her He lost the music Even his ear drums Forgot how use it Another year sums Up to downright abusive Another tear runs Down wipes the illusion That thought weighs tons So he hides from that boulder In the side of a mountain Made of bricks and mortar In the walls surrounding In the corner of the place With both the windows covered This man is a disgrace Locked his soul in the cubert Looks like another binge His position is fetal Harboring a syringe With a single inch needle A been burning candle Half melted stuck to The dusty wooden floor next To a hot spoon running Parallel to the panels His buddy’s pretty busy At the box flipping channels Didn’t notice that his Cold grip didn’t hold the needle Didn’t notice that his Rigor mortis stricken fist Wouldn’t let it slip Didn’t notice the foam That was dripping from his lip Didn’t hear the last words That he chose to spit It was always about the music (x4)

The Flavor Of The Underground I feel like I don't know where i'm headed lately moving through the groove and the think i'm doing it just for the food for thought cause music is one of many muses, of course but even it combined with all other force won't change the strength of that signal pouring from it's painful source fill up my stomach with an another empty void hurry up and numb it I don't think I choice if I did, being a youngin made it hard to avoid had to stick my tongue in with a throat full of points that had to be made so my mouth was a bridge that my lungs had paved for my verbal army to cross into your space every word is a solider holding a blade the weight of a boulder each important to say look at them marching into their fate oh so brave (hook) left foot first to be followed by the right born with a thirst to be bothered by the fight scorn with a curse to be a swallowed by the night sworn to a sword till it's worn to a knife left foot first to be followed by the right born with a thirst to be bothered by the fight scorn with a curse to be a swallowed by the night till there's no one left except me at my desk yes you guessed it another suggestion don't digress just cause you missed the message sit till you digest the intended lesson there's no question of what I meant mention there's no resting with this level of stress in my heart and my mind it's a different type of life few know what it is and most of those that do won't throw a second my way to hear what I have to say i'll speak it anyway for those close to my situation lost in the day to day who can't form words when they feel like me left the singing for the birds and the growth to the tree given up unable to recognize that they can't give enough live it up repeat what I say you can be my little soldier speak it to the grave look at you marching oh so brave (hook) left foot first to be followed by the right born with a thirst to be bothered by the fight scorn with a curse to be a swallowed by the night sworn to a sword till it's worn to a knife left foot first to be followed by the right born with a thirst to be bothered by the fight scorn with a curse to be a swallowed by the night till there's no one left except you at my desk meet me where the sun stops oh, you look lost meet me where the shadow sleeps watch your feet dance as the drum of the battle beats, please remember me, though i'll understand if you don't I got a guy on come up and he thinks i'm the bomb like I spit a liquid flow of lithium ion sunlight, energy by god, it's unlike anything he's seen before but I feel close to the end of my rope closing in on the noose soon it'll move to choke though, most of all I feel like a disappointment really i'm just stuck wondering where the hell my voice went didn't have the chance to stand and choose the choice against joining in this walk just another lost bark that echoes in the shadows piss scared blank face been steady pace for days just look at us march though I bet we look brave (hook) left foot first to be followed by the right born with a thirst to be bothered by the fight scorn with a curse to be a swallowed by the night sworn to a sword till it's worn to a knife left foot first to be followed by the right born with a thirst to be bothered by the fight scorn with a curse to be a swallowed by the night till there's no one left just papers on a desk

about

This is a set of final releases I've been holding. These are the last songs that have remained unheard for the most part from my old booth. I have upgraded my studio and
these are the final songs recorded in an egg crate covered closet with an SM57 microphone AKA last resort for vocals.
