Surface Tension - Deca

I was just lounging

Staring at the clock, right?

I could feel the world turn

Burn when it got right

Something came over me

Through me, splattered on a loose sleeve

Profusely, the youth need

To follow where the truth leads

I’ve walked the wild side with no read

With demons pitching pills for dirt cheap

Saying, «I've got what you need.»

Low down dirty sinful

Heavy bankroll

Worked every angle

Converse with angels

They say these are the end days

A time of retribution

We point to the sky

And chart the planet’s movements

But can’t measure the cause and effect of thoughts

And would rather stargaze the night away

And play connect the dots

Or watch Asher Roth child on the Magnavox

And all your favorite rappers throwing up the rock

I’m at a loss

It’s not a diss it’s more

Dismissive of big business

Not in my interest

The night I was born

The Moon turned to fire red

My poor mother cried, «the Gypsy was right»

And she fell down, right down baby

Yep we’re mislead

We don’t get a bad genre for walking the cliff’s edge

Either wind up dead or sick in the head

Get your mind right

Infinite potential but the physical is finite

I’ll stick a needle in the all seeing eye

Release the most high, that you beasts demonize

We all fall and rise

Alter our lives

And tear down the walls of your large enterprise

My mind’s eye’s opening wide

Catch a fork-tongued demon by the tail

But all joking aside

I do not make deals with devils

Soul rebel

The Moon’s a fiery red

It’s raining rose petals

And everything’s dreamlike

Everything’s changing

The fisher of souls will pull a shark out the main stream

I’m maintaining

I was cool and now I’m staring at the clock and got lost in a daydream

(uh huh) x 3

The night I was born

The Moon turned to fire red

My poor mother cried, «the Gypsy was right»

And she fell down, right down baby

In the belly of the beast

Where police on a centipede

Creep in the street

Then they reach for their piece and squeeze

And then the enemy is gonna sleep

When they see an enemy’s in the deep

I’m in need of release

When the evil feeds on the meek

Gotta keep both feet on the ground

Speak through the beats that pound

Coveting a district, city, and town

Hold me down

If you don’t hold me down

Put these devils in a hole in the ground

Unholy ground

Take a look around

Tell me what the world needs now

I was just lounging, I could feel a turn

I could feel it breathing deep

Universal man, with the world in the palm of your hands

Now’s no time to sleep

(wake up)
