Late at night I'm writing got a lot on my mind |
|
Exchanging midnight beats for sleep 'cause time's hard to find |
|
Spent the whole day hiking through the city on a mission |
|
Wishing I was living under different conditions |
|
Looking for a face in the crowd I don't know |
|
Looking past glass as if my nerves don't show |
|
Looking for a new way to say one pairs of prints ain't enough |
|
Me have to bluff me have no trust that makes it hard for me to open up |
|
But I play the role and now nobody knows what's in me |
|
I'm past the point of thinking that I could ever win see |
|
I get all choked up about something that isn't there |
|
Fair Skinned Earth Autumn Sun Through Black Hair "Where?" |
|
Over there on college campus ground pavement |
|
I turn my head it's just a shadow that's how my day went |
|
My spirits fall like golden leaves from autumn trees |
|
Collected in the street by the cool as 'trane fall breeze |
|
Autumn Blue... |
|
I'm looking out the window just to watch the block |
|
Residential hotels smack addicts in flocks |
|
A lazy day waitress with the hand that rocks |
|
The ladle wipes the table feet below dreadlocks |
|
Tickled ivories trickle out a modest speaker |
|
Don't mind being alone but I'd be glad to greet her |
|
One hundred and twenty miles from home but still in my dome |
|
Pick up the phone and maybe later I'll see her |
|
A happy couple crosses Second Ave. holding hands |
|
I'm glad I'm not happy 'cause I still can't stand |
|
The weight of a crush a light brush induced blush |
|
That anxiety rush of that uncomforable hush |
|
In conversation that two second pause feels like I'm waiting |
|
For a bus I may have missed when I'm already late and |
|
It's raining on my clean clothes day four of a new job |
|
Well maybe it's not that bad but still that moment feels odd |
|
So I repel it if I can smell it on the verge about to happen |
|
It seems I'm without words unless I'm freestyle rapping |
|
But then I'm full of crap and plus my mind is on city |
|
On the real I feel uptight when all my fronts miss witty |
|
It's hard to handle microphones I'll light like a gasoline candle |
|
Face to face I'm feeling square as a handbill |
|
So I'll head home and try to put it all together |
|
Get me on my own and all along and I'll be better |
|
Autumn Blue... |
