lyrics

ESCAPE

i woke up at the first thought
jarred awake by a cold gust of wind
and all of sudden it started to rain
thundering white bolts of lightning struck while i eased out of my dream
drained the pourage out of my cranium, so i could relieve the strain
strung across the brain a strong pain
unable to be retained
unbelievable how things insignaficant remain vain
tainted by the stain of a blank name
i strive in insane ways to maintain my sanity
in a manic plea, panicking automatically in a spasmatic fashion
callin on my telegraph machine to contact my spacecraft to come rescue me from planet three
lost use of telepathy so i resort to the m-i-c to persuade these idiotic human beings
that feign the green and the usage of their seeds
see i use to be wack shit, but now im above wack-verage
the thin line in which wack and average seem to meet
now it seems to me that im in a constant need to be pleased
constantly following footsteps that lead me to believe that im the beast
constantly following footsteps that lead me to believe that im the beast
discrepancies in my threes the reason my life expectancies been decreased
easily at expenses unnecessarily needed to be completed
obsessive to the optics cuz im the opposite of obsolete (shit)
shock therapy phonics, like open house to autopsies
my generocities gotten nada to me, but whats odd to me is
its probably gotten you the lottery, but what bothers me is
everybodys problems then, suddenly become a part of me
now im easily a part of the losing team
even though i was winning, grinning and living the better situation
now they put me in this position with a decision to send me off to the rehabilitation office
where the patients are dead carcasses and the doctors are street pharmacists
alarmed by this, i plot my exscape

[meanwhile fresco plots his dynamic exscape from his liminal existence]

now its hard for me to send my thoughts to be understood
but if i could, i would revert them to each and every person
alert them of whats the consequences
while im in a constant quest to question the answers i object to
respected amongst the disrespectful, i lead you
but aledgedly you fled, afraid of the pessimistic sentimental
reflections intended to intensify the momentum
discretion is advised, like the pendulum, i freely sway side to side in conjuction with the time

now as i reside in the future, i tend to reminisce about the present
but it doesnt seem as pleasant as if i was living in the past tense
now if it wasnt for the passion, i would have never had the charisma
and if it wasnt for the charisma, i would have never had the damn talent
now its not meant to make sense to some, but it sums up all the dollars
and those whos hollowheaded had probably had enough of the album

[attempts to exscape are useless]

i intended to send my thoughts in your direction
but instead then, my thoughts dispensed in a speech impediment?
its meant to mean something to your mental, but in infinite ways
youll interpret, but none of it will be in a correct text though

now i sit back and think about how it started to rain today
the scent of the rain came long before i started to wake
the sound, penetrating ,u window pane
cluttered my thoughts and down i came as i muttered a couple of words
sprained while i stumbled to walk the earth
not understandable
but not due to the fact that i stuttered
its due to the fact my thoughts were sent to the other end of the universe

[and so i sat back and thought about how it started to rain,
unintentionally in the long run, my thoughts came back to me]
