lyrics

Tomcat:
Tell you how I'm living...cool
dry ice this life here is a chemical
another animal spitting silly philosophical
for me see this writing is a ritual

I clear the dust from my throat
turn up the stereo break beats and blue notes
every single syllable fills my heart with hope
next morning meditate on what I wrote

Then I slouch into the couch
find myself some zen, that's how I peace out
beats are on repeat spin em like a round about
whistle of the kettle cup of tea no doubt

looking for the secrets well maybe you have found 'em
lay down with your beating heart and feel it poundin'
usually I'm out climbing metaphor mountain
but right now I'm at home, loungin'.

Jacky T:
Hey Tomcat, your balance is inspiring right
but sometimes I find the fine finite line
that twines along the vine of enjoying my time
and guilt's guillotine crimes an 'idle' in your eyes, who am I?

I feel detached from the breeze of reality
a nicotine patch on my sleeve brings banality
and cancerous thoughts, even if trivialities
I can't seem to smoke 'em down to a finality

I'm going to bed earlier, and getting to sleep later
my hair stands curly and I sleek it with the fader
Jean Grae said "you’re not gonna find what ya' looking for; stay searching"
that's poetic beauty, but I kinda wish I hadn't of heard it

'Cause basically I'm a base head, See E G?
fingers creep over the keys, I see blackened gaps beneath
maybe addiction ain't affliction for me I grab hold of issues compulsively
relieve anxiety inside of me I'm a fan of easy validation, ya' see

And to be honest, I'm honest, I won’t admonish
dwell on thoughts until confounding
you'll see me sitting still stressed as hell
and just project that I'm loungin'.
