dropped call

We use to keep in contact
Til I came across the impossible, n said 'i want that'
Not the payoff that walkin down carbon paths recoup
But the enigma in the soil of uncharted avenues
That'll bruise the logic of scoffin attitudes
When they see my footprints, feel my promises for self
Gone astray in the wind carryin my despondent breath
Set free when I realized those weren't appleseeds in the ashtray
N the time I looked him in the eye, but didn't recognize my dad's face
I passed him by, until I heard my name,
Turned around
To the hurtful sound of immorality
Crashing on the floors upstairs that echoed domestic battling
Overturning my peace of mind, but not the trophy
Standin boldly at the end of this tunnel, glowing
Magically extracting me from the calamity
Thereby disconnecting me from reality

if I haven't missed it already.

Besides shipping n handling, it was a bargain
Bought in installments of me doin my part and
It would arrive at the precise moment
That was so far beyond my knowin
It made playful torture of the days passin
Strippin my ambition of its vision wit shady magic
How it would seem to be across the street, then lost at sea
And, in the same blink, be too odd to believe
If wat I'm expectin is really meant for me
Because I'm noticing my neighbors are gettin their deliveries
And rejoicing wit cheers that leave the air blessed
Enough for me to keep calm when I look upon my bare steps
To see no sign that they came n left
I don't kno-- maybe there are more payments left
Or the immensity of my desire is slowin the driver's truck
Either way, I'm hoping someday my time will come

My Headphones

Peace in the water, war in the comments
Packed in torpedoes that target my island
Fired from submarines of the dauntless man
Too scared to cross the line drawn in the sand
Besides, they can't destroy or penetrate the sound
To reach the ears these rhythmic waves enshroud
Wit their backs to the world, takin me to another
When the lyrics drop, n intertwine wit my troubles
Makin my head bob, like I'm nodding in agreement
Even if they make no sense, I don't try to disbelieve it
Because its healin, bringin me back
Aiming me toward the peace I decreed to inhabit
When the havoc gets too loud, n I can't comprehend
If the racket's comin from the world or from within
Amid the instrumental BS-- I say nothin
I jus put my headphones in, n hit the 'play' button
