transparent times of mediocrity
hate rolls down the assembly line
violence rules the city
destined for a life of crime
lost in the back beat
viewed from behind closed doors
karma is my personal retreat
in a nation infested with whores
destiny overwhelmed by truth
like soldiers on the frontline
want it clearer we’re the proof
of a species in decline
souls on the black market
seems everyone’s got a price
just another moving target
to the piper we’re the mice
meltdown
everything spilling out
showdown
help me count the dead
baptized in dirt
scattered across the earth
baptized in dirt
on this rock we find our worth
hollow disregard for love
pillars constructed in blood
when push comes to shove
we’re just fragments in mud
time and time again
repeating all our past mistakes
devoured and consumed by sin
until the levee breaks
meltdown
everything spilling out
showdown
help me count the dead
baptized in dirt
scattered across the earth
baptized in dirt
on this rock we find our worth
revelations and suspicion
sheep being lead to slaughter
deny a mother’s intuition
without her love all will falter
a pivotal warning
part of the discussion
citizens left learning
a hurtful repercussion
meltdown
everything spilling out
showdown
help me count the dead
baptized in dirt
scattered across the earth
baptized in dirt
and on this rock we find our worth

” karma is my personal retreat ”
That hit on a whole nother level, D.
This entire vibe sparked a mood. Got me going into the archives
Much respect
Naaj
Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Naaj. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. That was a pretty good line, there are some good writes hidden in the archives. Appreciate you.
Damian
This wasn’t a match. This is good and should have been put as a single alone.
Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. It happened a lot with, Joey G, that’s probably not shocking to anyone who knows our history. lol. Appreciate you.
Damian
hello dearest Damian vey powerful lyrics…I wonder how AI could help your realize this song putting music to your lyrics 💕
Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Brenda. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. I’m thinking about using my GarageBand app to maybe put some music to some songs. Maybe this should be a frontrunner for music. Thank you for your support. Appreciate you.
Damian
Honestly, I would buy an album of songs with lyrics only written by you. Im not even going to try & pin a favorite line. This one is full of them. 2012? Are you sure you’re not a prophet? Im gonna start tracking what you’re saying, I swear, my friend
Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I am thinking when school starts back up of possibly arranging some musical ideas, using the GarageBand software. We’ll see how it goes. lol. I miss being in the studio, and using the producer side of my brain. I learned a lot working on “Heartstrings” it consumed 3 1/2 years of my life. I have no crystal ball, nor do I have any superpowers that I’m aware of, unless being a Pisces is a prophetic sign of sorts. lol. By all means keep track, maybe you’ll discover my secret, though I truly don’t know that I have one. But I’m always accepting help in figuring out why I do what I do. Appreciate you.
