Big Ben Chimes
Songstress...huh...yea I'm gonna take you on a ride to a little colex edition. In vision, imagine this, i be wishin that everybody would listen This I asked until i was able to step into the arena, make an impression and lesson until a discovery. As i out-smarteded Mathmaticans, raised through expeditions, thru condition and a vision by those with false predictions. In addition i had a mission, a vision, if you would listen. Produce collaboration increasing complications. You understand now and my Floetry has got you bubblin'. I see you wonderin why i can hear my name again. Never the same again, yes we came to reign again. And if we fade again will love come and pain again? Just take a breath and continue the explanation, turn off the playstation, still in all detention, did i mention poetic extention - my redemption - soul is in suspension - ethic realization. With poor lization for ethnic formation and powered disposition... more come to listen (yo F.L.O.E.T.R.Y get it?) Floetry is like a monsterous chemistry turn your negativity into tenetic energy. You can't test we.... no no no you can't test we see... subtract and abstract messages from within that's what i'm given that's what i'm given It's what i'm given given given! SE 5 |

It's better that it hurts, it's better that it feels this way to me I can't be too comfortable cause loving you is not my destiny Said I'm concerned that I feel this pain my heart is aching, breaking, pain staking in this gambling thing this ain't no parallel uni parallel life you choose to in one your living like love of my life and in the other your the daddy of theirs so I play Russian Roulette and put this phone to my ear just to say, yo this is Ms. Stress It's better that it hurts, it's better that it feels this way to me I can't be too comfortable cause loving you is not my destiny See too much asked of me through his lips so I attempted to be all that dreams suggest to the ego and promise the soul I tried to be all he had ever told of the interchangable face and physicality and mentality of she as closely ?? he summoned all my tears abandoned we I lived alone for years No longer knowing who exactly is Me as I began the punishment for his perfection My vision nearly lost the direction my return to innocence was lost and his ID you see I forgot instead I saw protection through judgment now angels and devils look alike to me sometimes quiet sounds like lonely to me My Angel I stopped breathing for you If my life was possible without end to be sure if love I'm needing more than just a casual affair But the pain runs deep internally But clearly seen when your not there (2x's) Yo, Yo, Yo It ain't my time to die right now You to I means death of my heart my visions my dreams 2x's |

at first you said i do
now its i did said together we shall live but now you're mad with the time we spend. you used to be jealous of my friends and fill my weekends, but now you're off for past times playing games wit my mind you're layin the blame in my lap but your laying in my bed yo i meant what i said when you weren't listening, so i'll say it again. See, i'm not sayin it again, see you need to know that i'm commin to an end of my silent partnering, off guard when i gain satisfaction-bare minimun. see your mind is made up to obey opinions from aqaintances whose situations suggest loneliness. i try to leave but you protest professing you love me but, cards show me nothing you want me out but you keep me in. patience grows thin as you move through your motions, i cry oceans my tears become orphans as my soul leaves this apartment, yo i get migraines, heart pains, tear stains, unfair games , with increases in the pain. |

Remember how you used to ummm, you used to phone up and (oohhh) you wouldn't say your name you, you'd just say Hey You
You know I see you on my blank sheet before I write or form oracle this situation yo, my memories choke me and stain my pillow as my voice becomes hollow as I trace tear lines around this space that won't fill yo I feel nothing but this way and the emptiness stays and its cluttered with a silence that teases me it leads me on like it's gonna say, like it's gonna say Hey You, I'm Sorry that I have to leave I'll try to come back oohhh, Hey You I'm sorry that I have to leave I'll try to come back one day You know yesterday I stood outside in the rain in an attempt to dissolve away or just disappear or be gone be back or be just I try to see the point but I only see the pain My dreams cry when they're slain I regain consciousness to blurry vision I try to listen out for whispers of Hey You, I'm sorry that I have to leave I'll try to come back oohhh, Hey You I'm sorry that I have to leave I'll try to come back one day Rain Drops disguise my tears have gone I want you to be here with me to stand by me Said I can't help but to be selfish baby cause I don't wanna be alone Did I leave you behind or did you let me go All I know is you're not here to say to me those special words (Hey You) Time was once on our side but now it's against us It parts us and we're not always (saints?) Ad Lib and fade to the end |

(Talking) Sometimes blindness finds me and leads me through ignorance not allowing us to gain experience so we become lifeless At other times I cover with self pity or work aimlessly through reality so Occasionally I choose to travel alone but never fulfil my possibility so mostly I attempt to achieve violence by seeking right knowledge of loving and reviewing and eventually overstanding those many lessons of my life You got me caught in a stormy odd world that drains and I beg to see truth and promises you made to me now weve come so far but my visions of happiness with you in my life Im afraid and confused If I was a bird Id fly If I was a bird Id fly away spread my wings so Id escape If I was the sky Id let it rain to wash away the pain If I was a bird Id fly away spread my wings so Id escape If I was the sky Id let it rain to wash away the pain Now why do I feel so alone knowing I know I have you and what made you turn around on me what did I do and when did love feel this way so much pain and misery wheres the you I once knew and could ya fly with me ( ) Now I cant stay you wont need me set me free and let me fly oh fly with me fly with me me fly with me yeah fly oh fly fly ( ) Fly away (music) If I was the sky Id let it rain to wash the pain (music) Fly away |

Yo, do you feel clever?
No, forget what everyone else has to say, do you feel clever. It's like, I live in whatever like is Always raining, similar, never the same See the game don't play that, So I speak maybes and if onlys, Instead of I ams and fallen memories, All that don't feel to good to be, But my geneology registers adaptibility, And that bitch, Feels like it's fixed. Cause my great grandmother spoke of this exact same thing. I use rhyme but I think she used to sing, Or just bring her force to a circle of women. And they be aligning chakrias and mediatating, Bad vibe vacinnating, evil energy eliminating as well as debating on how to raise the children and love the men. But today we're more caught up in Ricki Lakes and Jerry Springer. Becoming Numb. Now that's the title of my narrative base, novel of fiction. But still my facination is loyal, To how we manage to stay, we, human. a once civilized nation, or so they told me, yo. Just seeing how we fight to be Instill it in your sight to be It subliminal, subliminally, subliminal, sibliminally. Just seeing how we fight to be Instill it in your sight to be It subliminal, subliminally, subliminal, sibliminally. You,see, Breast was a blessing so I owe no shit, Obligation is a choice, but this choice I select who to share my love with, Love me and be in Cause I believe that I am leaving with most of Submerged in Is a messed up situation So stay stationed is the advice that I leave To those who can't come to those you won't proceed You can stay right here And if you ever pass go, do not collect 200, I repeat do not collect So I'm this disputing being openly happy, when it serves so well to be depressed Any attempt of smiling needs impecable timing Make the suit sweet by allowing them to feel that they suited the situation to the masses, to the market, Keep them pushing beemers My friend I may not be able to deliver a benz to you But I can give you piece of mind Piece of mine Define ownership, Now will your mothership take with it what you purchased at your outlet So my friend once again I'll just give you piece of mind (laughs) Just seeing how we fight to be Instill it in your sight to see It subliminal, subliminally, subliminal, sibliminally. Just seeing how we fight to be Instill it in your sight to see It subliminal, subliminally, subliminal, sibliminally. (Vocals) (2x Over Vocals) Just seeing how we fight to be Instill it in your sight to see It subliminal, subliminally, subliminal, sibliminally. Just seeing how we fight to be Instill it in your sight to see It subliminal, subliminally, subliminal, sibliminally. |

Laundered linen sheets
Touch me their coldness And thoughts I cant Shock me with their boldness Why did my mind and body believe, That you would never leave them? Now theres parts of me that blame, Or well they force me to deceive them So come back and relieve them Who would steal you? I still feel you Now youre gone These are lies Theyre not real This is more than I can feel This is wrong 3x A bath so hot it almost scolds And I let the warm surround me I slide down Till only my face shows But I feel colder now Than before you found me When u used to pin me down The clarity in your intent But if you mind was somewhere else I cant better anything you can invent I thought you understood how much you meant Who would steal you? I still feel you Now youre gone And these are lies Its not real This is more than I can feel Its all wrong Now youre gone I work hard to carry on If you couldve seen How Ive been Then youd know how much you meant Who would steal you I feel you Now youre gone Now youre gone Now youre gone Gone Gone Gone Dont you know how much you meant? Who would steal you? I still feel you Now youre gone These are lies Theyre not real This is more than I can feel This is wrong till end |
