[Psychoid]
If you can take apart your head,
your brain exposed,
ideas flooding in until the gate is closed,
your mind will grow,
insight will flow,
the status quo,
will shatter, whoa,
and everyone around will feel the afterglow.
Now that I’m pushing thirty
it’s clear I am the sturdiest
I’ve ever been, now a wordy-smith
hoppin in, you ain’t saying shit.
Punk music ain’t paying it.
I’m not ok with faking it.
My ego, I am displaying it.
No problem, I know my brain is fit.
And this game is rigged
and it’s a shame that with
the fame and shit,
no guarantee that you’ll step up your game
apparently just don’t articulate
the myriad ways
we could improve
striking so few
are paying their dues.
When given a platform
they act like it’s bad form,
to dig deep and transform,
to dig up a sandstorm,
but my voice it can pour
out starting a land war
while I’m in this van. Sure
trying to understand more.
Reading about Socrates,
turns out he’s a dick
doesn’t bother me.
Mind sick, anti-democracy,
but we don’t get to pick
how our genius be.
You might take a peek
at Genius, see
if your gonna wanna try to keep up with me
words with girth,
straight texturing.
Not lecturing,
but you might learn from my
conjecturing.
Gesturing like a jester,
kings will clutch in fear at their treasure,
fling me off their architecture,
The pressure higher?
My pleasure sire.
Guess I’m more like that ancient greek
than I desire to be.
I aspire to free
minds from tyranny.
Those that hearing me,
I’m sincere in the
quest for fear to be
divested clear then we
can hope to see
the stunning scenery
on offer for you and me
if we can be optimistic,
hoping, and open to discovery.
If you can take apart your head,
your brain exposed,
ideas flooding in until the gate is closed,
your mind will grow
insight will flow
the status quo
will shatter, whoa,
and everyone around will feel the afterglow.
[Erik Remy Jenkins]
I’m in the Windy City, now I’m about to make it blow.
Hoping to open your minds with poetry and with prose.
I’m the protagonist, you antagonist, and you know.
Bit and scratched me in battle, but you ain’t won the war.
The other’s crying over things that happened a year ago.
It’s sad for you that I’m still the star of your own show.
Told y’all I was coming before, but y’all didn’t hear me though.
Snakes made their way inside the house after I cut the lawn.
Gonna have to set up the traps if they don’t slither on.
Shouldn’t live your life spreading strife nor spreading discord.
Wrote you off just like my taxes, but there ain’t gonna be a return.
“Nothing new under the sun,”said by Solomon,
Son of David, follow the Proverbs in the Old Testament.
If you sit and fight all insight, your brain will have no fun.
I feel my mind is growing, now that I’m pushing 30
Everybody’s gonna feel the afterglow.
[Josh Stanley]
you can take apart your head,
your brain exposed,
ideas flooding in until the gate is closed,
your mind will grow
insight will flow
the status quo
will shatter, whoa,
and everyone around will feel the afterglow.
everyone around will feel the matter flow,
it’s scattered though,
but that’s the way the patterns go.
So just take apart your head.
Take apart the demon in the attic, to the left.
