Heard a funny rumour on the floor You’re about to make a full detour 180 rotation out my door Strategizing how to even the score Got it secondhand yeah on my porch You’re about to do a full land scorch Heard enough of hearsay back and forth Time to hideaway and check the source Me you We’re through It’s so true Heard a little whisper in the wind It was the beginning of the end Method of deliverance which you send Driven me clear around the bend Me you We’re through It’s so true Had enough of being so blue Feel that I know now what I should do Believe I’ve exhausted my chances with you Think that it’s best that we started anew Know it is time to roll up my sleeves Moment has come yeah to take my leave Warning sign to head on my own Clock has struck twelve and the bell it has tolled Voice is bubbling up from deep inside In that little space where we reside Echoing in chambers quite well plied Let its resonation be my guide Me you We’re through It’s so true

Accuse blame me 
 Say it’s my fault
 Lock up the vault Refuse stain me
 Claim it’s the end
 You can’t befriend The water’s calmed it’s clear to see who you are 
 Maintain my distance keep the space oh so far
 Tally the loopholes and the losses you par
 Revoke credentials deadline set to disbar Obstruct block me 
 Say there’s no way
 On with my day Shortchange diss me
 Brush me right off
 Slander and scoff I heard you’re saying that it could be the end Reviewed the prophecy and all it portends
 Summon a seamstress for my soul’s on the mend
 Stay incognito keep on bucking the trend I’m busting right out of here 
 Watching you fade and disappear
 I’m tearing up the road ahead
 I’m doing all the things you said Delay stall me 
 Showcase your ruse
 We all amuse Pretend fake me
 Highlight the act
 Present as fact Distract shield me
 Detour the route
 Dissent is mute Hinder stymie
 Impede my step
 You’re so adept So I see you coming hard in the rearview mirror 
 Objects indeed are closer than they appear
 Full annulment as you keep on drawing near
 Up ahead the road is looking mighty clear Cause I guess we never knew
 Fell apart yeah way too soon
 I suppose we’ll never know
 What the future could behold
 I assume we’ll never reclaim
 All which relevantly pertained
 I presume we’ll never get
 Back to our factory preset It doesn’t matter of the bridges you cross 
 Countless pennies and the wishes you toss
 Shady victories which you claim as loss
 The creeping tarnish which has varnished its gloss I’m busting right out of here 
 Watching you fade and disappear
 I’m tearing up the road ahead
 I’m doing all the things you said

What is it that which you want There be no need to flaunt Get on back to your haunt What exactly do you need Don’t brigade a stampede In worn leather and tweed What is it that which you seek Why not take a sneak peek At the havoc you wreak What is it that you believe Secret fell out of sleeve Tad too late to retrieve Saunter around aimlessly then you go right on talking Wonder aloud why you don’t just keep on walking There ain’t no call for you to come around a knocking Find a new pier for your ship to dock Why is it me that you rap Can’t you manage a map Discern this thing from that Why must you be a kill buzz Is it simply because What’s now isn’t what was Why Do you seek to permit Cannot deem how it’s fit File appeal to acquit Why don’t you just go take off Grab your draft and then quaff Dig yourself a new trough & yes I can see that you will still be a joking Prettily poised preened and mightily provoking Tell from the haze that you probably were smoking Step up on stage then decide to choke Soon coming to a head Feet dragging out of bed Recalling what you said Practically half dead Think I’ll be drawing the line Tiptoeing it yeah oh so fine Keep the beat right on time Maintaining the rhythm and rhyme Mosey under the sunset Heeding it to be a safe bet If I am summoned to vet Hire a supersonic jet Then I see you lurk around with your smile surmising Situation I don’t find all that surprising Easy to wean through the veil that’s been disguising Metal detect right through all the lies Why don’t you scurry along Reflect what’s right and wrong Readjust your sarong Why don’t you plan what is next You can expect a text For a balance and cheque Why not disarm and resolve Process how to evolve Around you don’t revolve Why not go exit vamoose Sever the red caboose Get on up and bust loose

What is it now yeah that you do want Casually flicker flamboyant flaunt Note your appearance a trifle gaunt Checking the typeface quick change the font See you closing hard in on my tail Pedal to metal RPMs wail Careening into a mighty gale Windscreen it buckles blitzkrieg of hail What you want me to say I didn’t know Do you want it this way Where do you go What you want me to do What is the flow Simply haven’t a clue As I slip deftly from your firm hold Fighting and kicking the undertow Riding the jetstream hang ten the flow Violent waves whip all that I know Shifting so slightly tad to the left Shimmy and shiver ever so deft See the sly approach sweet subtle theft Leaving me forlorn broke and bereft What you want me to say I didn’t know Do you want it this way Where do you go What you want me to do What is the flow Simply haven’t a clue I do want you I must have soon I do want you I must have soon Just didn’t know yeah what you want me to do Felt it come undone unravel like glue Didn’t quite know what’s expected from me My simple longing was to go and be free Ready to get set resume the race See the white flag wave front of my face Tie up a loose and splintered shoelace On your mark get set now then erase Tongue was a twisted couldn’t explain Mumble and fumble words in the rain Saw you turning away in disdain Didn’t want it to end quite this way

So now I’m back to my old ways Lonely nights and empty days Sun goes down the light it fades Crawling in the bed I made Things are looking up Reaching for the top Catching what I drop Hoping it won’t stop Wake up late to sleep the same Nothing ever seems to change Retrace the steps inside my head Toss and turn within my bed Knife sinking deeper Angling steeper It goes round Going round Bitterly swallow Feeling so hollow And down Sliding down Full melancholy Shambolic folly Unwound Comes unwound Grey cloud develops Fully envelops My crown ‘Bout my crown In a trench my tires spin Round and round again again Hope with luck my tread will catch Break free from your clutch at last But I’m coming round Making up lost ground Taking what I found Letting it compound Waiting for my luck to turn A better bounce I sorely yearn But I can’t kid the one inside Know just where the path shall lie Knife sinking deeper Angling steeper It goes round Going round Bitterly swallow Feeling so hollow And down Sliding down Full melancholy Shambolic folly Unwound Comes unwound Grey cloud develops Fully envelops My crown ‘Bout my crown I’m coming back again To meet you at the end Think I’ve mailed it in Don’t know where I’ve been Believe the well’s run dry Know the reason why It’s how the story ends Hit return to send Knife sinking deeper Angling steeper It goes round Going round Bitterly swallow Feeling so hollow And down Sliding down Full melancholy Shambolic folly Unwound Comes unwound Grey cloud develops Fully envelops My crown ‘Bout my crown

Ten fingernails scraping the bare wall Scampering down the cavernous hall Reviewing all of my missed calls There was you Hands sliding down the oil slicked greased pole Inching closer towards the black hole To the depths of the bubbling shoal It was so blue Rumble seat rocking side to side Bust my britches tanning my hide Fib the truth profess a white lie Buck the bronco hornswoggle a ride Broadly built like a stalwart ox Ambling slowly towards Fort Knox Grab my shovel upturn some rocks Stake my claim resetting all the clocks Eyes they squint out under the scorching sun Bag on my back it weighs half a ton Shirt sweat-stained ripped torn and come undone It was so cruel Vulture angling soaring mile high Watching waiting with scavenging eyes Try to run there is nowhere to hide Cannot from you Beads of sweat drop from furrowed brow As I rudder this ancient plow Sheltered by a sacred cow Pressured to renounce all of my vows Feeling like a big shamed disgrace Rap my wrist slap my weathered face Sling a shooter of toxic waste Bitter bile and vile aftertaste Shake out my knotted hair Let it all slide away Taking your best pick Quick choose then designate Package up my cares Let them all fly away Cutting off the straps Let go ingratiate Think I’m feeling it now Striking off of the bow Renewing all of my vows Feeling good and somehow Lightning is my sole guiding force As I bareback this ragged work horse Try to follow the predestined course Towards you Stumbling trod through the downpour of rain Magnetic drops slow trace lines of pain Yet from you I simply can’t abstain So what to do Life raft takes salt water on board As I stand waver draw my sword Tiger shark leaps from a fjord For the jugular striking a chord Ride it deep into the blue sea Hundred knots a thousand leagues Underwater sea blitzkrieg Hold my breath yet reveal no fatigue Shake out my knotted hair Let it all slide away Taking your best pick Quick choose then designate Package up my cares Let them all fly away Cutting off the straps Let go ingratiate Think I’m feeling it now Striking off of the bow Renewing all of my vows Feeling good and somehow Tortured by the scorching desert heat Shards of sand charring leathery feet Illusionary home safe retreat Mirage was you Muted sky bored it thunderclaps Sends me scampering like a blind bat To all directions on the stained map Yet not to you Shake out my knotted hair Let it all slide away Taking your best pick Quick choose then designate Package up my cares Let them all fly away Cutting off the straps Let go ingratiate Shake out my knotted hair Let it all slide away Taking your best pick Quick choose then designate Package up my cares Let them all fly away Time now yeah to give thanks
