Shahmen-Mark

Skin the color of bark Clothes smellin' like trees Diggin' my earth, find my roots and weeds My truth bleeds right back in the arm No scar, but I left my mark My friend got clean and O.D.'ed, life is just that dark Clothes smellin' like trees Diggin' my earth, find my roots and weeds My truth bleeds right back in the arm No scar, but I left my mark My friend got clean and O.D.'ed, life is just that dark But life is just that bright That when the sunset shines See the graph he writes I'm back tonight, with a sack to light In honor of the past I write I'm wide open, with no glass of wine Stuck in a barrel, I'll get better with time While you measure how the pleasure declines I'm stackin' cheddar while the bread just rise With my eyes and my ears glued here on my grind, cutty Creepin' on I come up No sleepin' till the sun's up Tellin' secrets to the drum thumps Pledge allegiance to the blood pump Until I leak my last liter, here's my one love And all these angels got their guns up But no fear when my teeth and my tongue touch I am here, and I speak for the young bloods Who've seen the flood, and they drug all the anchors up And set sail through the world, in the name of trust Hard work, and the crux that it made in us I'm 'bout to bust, all my veins full of gold dust That 1985 California gold rush, in the spine plus the flesh that it holds up I'm out for mines and my wolves got it sewn up One crow, one eagle on my shoulders And my eyes hold the light that approaches

The weight has been lifted I buried the knife (buried) Here comes the elephant carried by mice Here to marry the mic (marriage) The one tusk cut dipped in blood Now dare me to write (dare me) Watch a murder of crows Turn into a pack of wolves And prowl the streets for the feast they owe Fat sacks and a stack of gold Get blown and turn back to crows I hear evil I see evil, but I speak needle Full of medicine for all of these dead people Sight beyond sight Carry the eyes of a dead eagle treaded in the twilight Leather bag of bones browns when the sun is shown Ten fingers that have touched the globe Ten toes to the dusty road One skull made of bone 'bout to touch the throne Eskimo with an icepick Chipping icebergs down when I write shit Priceless life lives off papyrus High into the sky Catches fire and falls right into your iris Wipe the ash from your eyelashes And follow on the white rabbit Tonight you might catch it (catch-it) Been clinging on to madness But I finally built a kingdom from my passion So start to divvy up the cash and I pull the next world wonder out the back alley trash can A vision ever lasting They try to get em' but they couldn't build a prison that would trap him But in this land here the shaman's a king Better follow your dreams or fall deep into the hollow of rings I've gone into tomorrow it seems to suck the sorrow out, I spit my piece Wake up face up with a heart to get right And the world has gone wrong I'm darker than midnight But I'm brighter than Zeus' strikes from rolling these two dice Tell me the world ends well I guess we got tonight Dance on my own grave this ground is now sacred The art, well it takes time my hands well they take bread The engine in my heart starts to run in on hatred No one make it far in this world with the faceless Raise out the graves that get dated to fallen Goodbye for them now no I'm out for my callin' Staring out my chips 'bout to push them all in Standing on the cliffs one slip and I'm falling X4 I wrote this one on Sunday with no sun rays Under a grey and blue sky thinking one thing Be a king by the time that the sun came Now I rhyme while it shines like gold plates X4 Here comes the elephant carried by mice Carried by mice, ca-carried by mice Here comes the elephant Here comes the elephant Here comes the elephant

Nobody can save you Fears will embrace you Crawl from out the bed in the house and chase you You can try to hide but they'll find and face you You can try to fight but they'll finally maim you By the end of the night they will try and hang you Tied to the heights where you lie and dangle Do you believe in the angels I believe I'm trying to light all my candles While the paranoia grows like branches and mangroves I'm squeezing water from stones and eating bare bones And all the saying in the books well I bury those But I'm still trying to carry all my buried foes Back home and make em' friends so the arrow goes On and on, on and on like a broken song And start to feeling like the bullshit you're smoking on (ahh) See the signs been told as I walk this road Made a rose out of gold but the bones was coal When I dug them out of dirt trying to build my home Haunted by these crows but I must move forward And see the signs been told as I walk this road Made a rose out of gold but the bones was coal When I dug them out of dirt trying to build my home Haunted by these crows but I must move forward But I must move forward But I must move forward But I must move forward Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah All the anxious things the xenophobe tackles Broken angel wings, reading poems backwards Rear-view mirror caught the reflection of a bastard Goodness gracious man, he done grew passed it Old video cameras that's seen his ghost captured, soul fractured Burned footage, so my ankles aren't shackled Strange fruit hang low, hoops upside a dangle From an alternate angle, how I believe in angels Wingspan full spectrum might seem grey though Stabbing at a blank page, whole box of crayons See on my worst days, my anxiety strangles me On my best days smiling, sliding off a rainbow Landed in the swamp to make it out the fuego Man-made Peso, god golden ratio Fibonacci bank roll, look at how the cake swole From UFO fables to actual fiery halos The black cat should only become a tiger when I say so Just to do what he was made for See the signs been told as I walk this road Made a rose out of gold but the bones was coal When I dug them out of dirt trying to build my home Haunted by these wolves but I must move forward See the signs been told as I walk this road Made a rose out of gold but the bones was coal When I dug them out of dirt trying to build my home Haunted by these crows but I must move forward But I must move forward But I must move forward But I must move forward Yeah, yeah, yeah

Do you crowd in your weakness, or carry it like Jesus? Or just wonder where the peace is? The heart's beautiful; the brain's where the beast lives All these names on a train, and I'm trying to put my piece in I paid for days, till my pain is raised This spirit in my lyrics' phrase And when it plays let the fire blaze And remember to the higher plane I came Dark dark days, come and go to fill my heart Light fades, come and go to fill that Ark I pain, just to go and spill this tooth Now when truth was reality and lost in its challenge You see, what was out the window And you was pretending, and I had an info And we was just listening, all with my kin-folk Hear me here-ly, here where the cliff's low Van Gogh's crows, over wheat-fields of gold Forget everything you know Read a secret, hid it right under-nose Go ahead and seek everything you want Everything you want, you already got This is just a secret I'm mixing in the pot Everything you want, you already got This be the secret mixed in the pot Everything you want, want You already got, got Everything you want, want You already got, got Everything you want, want You already got, got Everything you want, want You already got, got The more digging this grave The more I'm digging my life The more I'm digging this pain The more I'm digging the mic The more I'm looking for life The more I'm looking for light The more I'm mixing between The more I carve with this mic The more digging this grave The more I'm digging my life The more I'm digging this pain The more I'm digging the mic The more I'm looking for life The more I'm looking for light The more I'm mixing between The more I carve with this mic The more digging this grave The more I'm digging my life The more I'm digging this pain The more I'm digging the mic The more I'm looking for life The more I'm looking for light The more I'm mixing between The more I carve with this mic Yeah B.L.S... and S.N.S B.L.S... and S.N.S We be blessed, yes, yes

I came down with a fever The catacombs, they were filled Lucifer within my larynx Clothing a sarcophagus Baby set my head on fire Every man is born to die The captain called me out on a carpet boys You know I got a tear in my eye I have been lost and wandering A wanderer I remain Met Judas in west Texas Tried to take my name Now I am lost and wandering And wandering I am plain Will the moon come off its axis Before I lose my mind? I came down with a sickness Pouring down just like rain Red, red sun in the evening Red, red heart full of pain Baby set my head on fire Every man is born to die The captain called me out on a carpet boys You know I got a tear in my eye I have been lost and wandering A wanderer I remain Met Judas in west Texas Tried to take my name Blood is worth much more than money That's a poison crown Tell the snake that bit me honey It's gonna take me down Now I am lost and wandering And wandering I am plain Will the moon come off its axis Before I lose my mind? Will the moon come off its axis? Will the moon come off its axis? Will the moon come off its axis? Will the moon come off its axis?

It's just a phase, in time it will subside It never would aptly take my place along the line Losing my fate, and faking through the days Search for the motive keeping me alive Passing time Nothing left to see Nowhere to return Go and set me free One time around the sun Follow the path along the broken roads We know the weight of all the sorrow we can't hold Not what we want It's all become a blur We're growing numb out in the cold But can't let go Patiently waiting for the last reprise Anticipation of the slowly rising tide Keep it locked away, a world to wash away Pretending I can do more than survive Wasting time Nothing left to see Nowhere to return So go and set me free One time around the sun Follow the path along the broken roads We know the weight of all the sorrow we can't hold Not what we want It's all become a blur We're growing numb out in the cold But can't let go But can't let go But can't let, can't let, can't let go Oh, I sit hold and my breath Can't scare myself to death There must be some attraction to this ritual of guilt Crawling through my time Can I watch the day unwind? Sifting through the remnants I know what I will find Follow the path along the broken roads We know the weight of all the sorrow we can't hold Not what we want It's all become a blur We're growing numb out in the cold But can't let go But can't let go

Look at you in bed, you're hardly breathin' I knew it was gonna end this way I said it all the time, but you said that you were fine And now you wonder why, and why you I tried my best to make you check it out, huh? I cried so much it burnt my eyes, I begged every day But all the stubborn things you do I must've gotten that from you Now there's nothing they can do, and why you? I wished that there was something I'd done more Knocked you out and dragged you there myself Maybe then you'd be here, you'd be here Tuck my things we've grown up to And how much I love you every way But you're not here, and with all my tears It feels like Monsoon every day Monsoon Monsoon Monsoon Monsoon Monsoon Monsoon Monsoon Monsoon Monsoon Monsoon Look into your eyes, do you see me? Staring into space, you've lost yourself The rain has fallen through, and there's nothing I can do But just cry all over you, and why you? Play our favorite songs, do you hear them? Take us back to times so happy, with good health Traveling galore, just the two of us in store And the plans we had for more, and why you? Never thought that there would be an ending Father loved strong enough to make you stay If it was, if it was You'd be here, you'd be here Tuck my things we've grown up to And how much I love you every way But you're not here, with all my tears It feels like Monsoon every day Halo halo halo Monsoon You'd be here Monsoon Monsoon Monsoon Feels like Monsoon every day Monsoon Monsoon You'd be here Monsoon Monsoon Monsoon Monsoon Monsoon Feels like Monsoon every day Halo Amber, I love you
