Invisible Ink

from Cloud 9 ep by Fres Thao

/

lyrics

I’m incomplete unstable medicated meditating underneath the moonlit sky / unable /
to breathe, make way for the aggravation, the feeling of not having the bare / necessities

( Motivated by decaying state of broken dreams? )

I’ve had enough of not having enough and neither the world nor the heavens gives a FUCK / or a damn of whether we wreaking havoc or leaving pastures / of beauty for the next man and their kin /

walking the weathered streets with nothing but bare feet in these barren lands ( I can barely stand? )

(break)

I’m a traveling road show with a potent potion of hope
Just a poet on the podium, stopping to smell the roses
Smoke and mirrors, choking on interferences
I’m not broken, I’m just coping with unfamiliar notions
Golden eras, listen closely while the tear drops

(break) COME ON!

I’m painting pictures with invisible ink blurred
They spill the blood of the victim seeking the cure

You’re painting pictures with invisible ink blurred
They spill the blood of the victim seeking the cure

We’re painting pictures with invisible ink blurred
They spill the blood of the victim seeking the cure

beautiful pictures with invisible ink blurred
why spill the blood of the victim seeking the cure?

(break)






(1:50)

Clenching on to the thought one day they might be wise men
Escaping from the darkness no longer living divided
A secret life lived, a misguided enlightment
They stab the knife in and twist the reason why we like this
A righteous like minded individual ready to ignite and visions like this are the reasons why I write

Poetry


(break)

I’m painting pictures with invisible ink blurred
They spill the blood of the victim seeking the cure

You’re painting pictures with invisible ink blurred
They spill the blood of the victim seeking the cure

We’re painting pictures with invisible ink blurred
They spill the blood of the victim seeking the cure

beautiful pictures with invisible ink blurred
why spill the blood of the victim seeking the cure?

(break - tempo change)

I keep my ear low to the concrete, you can find the thoughts
Inside me where they haunt me nightly so you’ll often find me in the fifth dimension

(break)

With a fast pace I trace in slow motion and observe through the scopes until I’ve opened the time zones

let’s keep it going


I call it hip hop.
