Incandescent Mornings

from 2012 For the Sake of Rapping by Genesis The 8th

/

lyrics

One day when the sunlight
don't show
and won't shine down
I might just
run around
but ass naked
waving myself
in your appalled
dropped jaw faces

you might find
yourself..
wondering...
wandering...
searching for an
accepting god
to inquire...
who started the
fire...who
mixed the message
somewhere along that
telephone wire
...
grade school name games
flash...
in a daze
you've been in that
apartment for days
...and apologized
...to the sky
in too many ways

if it'll change
the way you feel
then sing his praise
before that meal

but if you're still sickened
by the dark
then wasting valuable
time, you are

mornings...
are no more

flowers...
an ancient décor

bloom they won't
grow they can't
so instead
we have made
new friends of these
rain dance met the
hydrogen shuffle
mix that with the
helium step
physically pray for oxygen, carbon,Nitrogen,
Silicon, neon,
iron, sulfur and
magnesium
if you...
... find the stars
then squeeze me some
sneak me one
home, please
I need my sun
...
it's cold...
you're drunk...
I was too bold
every time I snuck
away from the heat
and hid in a shadow
beneath a tree

sun must have seen
thought to himself
they don't need me

now the leaves have turned
and my skin is pale
we're both dying,
no...wait, one
of us, is dead

insufficient vitamins
getting to my head
hanging...
in the wind...
waiting for the clouds
to part so the day can
start again...
unspoken code
broken open
spilled to the floor
...only evidence
shards of remnants
next to the glass
that once contained it
…i'm bored
…and anxious
pick up a piece
and prick my finger
let the blood drip
and watch...
my breath...
linger...
2 pm
beneath a street lamp
empty hands
share a solo dance, in
the dark we all look
just the same
i'll call my name if,
you'll respond
and quietly expound
upon that bond
...
follow me home and
hold me...
when I scream...
as I finish make believing
that this is a dream


incandescent mornings
florescent nights
so I make recordings
of your insights
…or your
insides

so I hit that switch
like I want to be blind
…I don't mind

all I need is sound

gather round

we'll beat box
and sing songs
till we forget
we'll make light
of this fairly dark
situation yet...
