Float
08:39
|

Comes a cool breeze
off a sun-kissed moonbeam
at the meeting
of two oceans
No one’s truly
forgot who’s ruling
that underlying
motion
Concentrate with me
as we steep our tea
in the passing
of the seasons
Let us integrate
things we appreciate
and not dwell
upon the reasons
Over-analyze things
you think you know
but you’ll decide that
holding on is worse
than letting go
If you revise
the things you think
you’ll come to realize
acceptance is
the only way to grow
Buoyant bodies awake
drifting foggy
finally free
to float
Intelligence tethered
light as a feather
conscious of
the flow
Necessity is key
and we are the link
to consonant
cohesion
Let us integrate
things we appreciate
and not dwell
upon the reasons
Over-analyze things
you think you know
but you’ll decide that
holding on is worse
than letting go
If you revise
the things you think
you’ll come to realize
acceptance is
the only way to grow

Friction

There’s a dark, cold place
in the spaces between
Need to warm it up with
some of your close proximity
The heat’s in the beat
so let’s switch up our positions
Get off your seat, come taste the treat
of man’s oldest tradition
‘Cuz the still and cold
fade with the motion
of your soles
I want you to move,
but that’s a given
I guess I always
give myself away
I need you to come
give me your rhythm
and the friction of your feet
ignites the way
Baby let your surface slide
and watch the sparks start to fly
kindling, tinder, turn to cinder
with your stimulating sleight
I see the spark in your eyes
you’re the match to my ambition
fit to strike a light up right
so let this key find your ignition
‘Cuz the still and cold
fade with the motion
of your soles
I want you to move,
but that’s a given
I guess I always
give myself away
I need you to come
give me your rhythm
and the friction of your feet
ignites the way

Two Worlds

Safely inside
my calm
sequestered mind
I find my peace
But lately
pinstriped lines shine
cascading shadows
through my dreams
Ringing
dissonant caprice
faintly singing
echoes of distant cries
Two Worlds
one time
Two Worlds
one mind
Tranquil surface
lies guiding
spectral sighs
through cryptic seas
Lucid vision
resounds
overtones of light
refracting sound
Roiling waves
reside
timeless secret hides
in silent streams
Two Worlds
one time
Two Worlds
one mind

Soup
04:01

When I first envisioned
life beyond the deep
it began with a slow crawl
and climbed into a creep
along the long ascension
I became anew
no longer pretending bout
what I had to do
As the darkness faded
colors turned to light
No longer a caveman
I developed sight
The water’s getting warmer
think it’s time I flew the coup
I know things are changing
rising from the soup
Rising from the soup
I know things are changing
it’s time I flew the coup
Rising from the soup

Garden

The sun shines smiling
upon Displace
in this space
with these faces
erasing all traces of sadness
No animosity,
just happiness, gladness
it’s madness
how this family came to be
You see,
Displace planted the seeds;
but y’all provide the love
and nourishment!
With that essential ingredient,
we’re exponentially flourishing!
Servicing communities
nationwide
Asheville, Boulder, NOLA, Tampa,
That's right
Expanding minds,
collecting consciousness
gaining confidence and prominence
to conquer the continents
Displace:
the name is synonymous
with face-melting solos
and the blessings of Providence
a consequence of constant support
and bottomless love
the listeners of our music
reflect that which I speak of
Everything we’ve grown
from flower to root
is a labor of love
and you are the fruit
Gotta mind your harvest
shine on in its glow
Gotta find your part and
guide your garden to grow
Gotta walk in wonder
wander with the flow
Just be mindful of the
Pry of the undertow
The hardest part of being an artist
is starting a garden
and constantly questioning
the wisdom to embark on it
Never quite certain
Of the quality of the harvest
self-doubt sparks
disheartening self-arguments
The mantis preys
On this self contention
To rise up from the soup
Is an admirable ascension
Float above the fog
In enlightened unknown
To a place of peace
That'll heighten your home
But see to it that the light
Doesn't burn you blind
if poise becomes pride
It can poison your mind
Balance can be found
where these beams align
Like the gravity of gratitude
Inspiring the tides
We live in these two worlds
Oscillating restlessly
Perpetual perplexion
An accidental necessity
As Destiny desperately
declines to decide
Which side of the line
Your garden resides
Doubt will find you
If you stay there
Indecision
Mantis preys there
Gotta mind your harvest
shine on in its glow
Gotta find your part and
guide your garden to grow
Gotta walk in wonder
wander with the flow
Just be mindful of the
Pry of the undertow

Baby
I wanna lay you down
You’re crazy
but I can’t stop now
That manic disguise
I wanna fight this feeling
You wanna bite my green wings
Cannibal eyes
fertile, but deceiving
BABY PLEASE DON’T EAT ME!
Another time, another day
Another chance to feel this way
Anyhow, oh any way
I’ll disregard the things I need
Forget the things that I believe
Right now, oh anyhow
Praying mantis
gonna take my chances
saw her teeth
but Imma do it anyway
Praying mantis
come and get your answers
shoulda run
but I ain’t gonna get away
Oh I would like to take a taste!
Lady!
I’m hungry for your sound
Maybe
that’s how Icarus went down
Those lies tantalize
I know it’s just a tease
Too sharp to call naive
Still I fly toward your light
I know I can’t believe you
but parts of me just need you for
Another time, another day
Another chance to feel this way
Anyhow, oh any way
I’ll disregard the things I need
Forget the things that I believe
Right now, oh anyhow
Praying mantis
gonna take my chances
saw her teeth
but Imma do it anyway
Praying mantis
come and get your answers
shoulda run
but I ain’t gonna get away

The admiral ascends above the clouds
Escaping from his fears below
The freedom of the sky begins to shroud
what occupied his mind before
War’s what matters to him now
the flight out to the northern shore
with confidence, he conquers the unknown
old Archibald, brave to the core
The carousel of spinning props propel
the salty dog above the sea
Unphased amidst the threat of death, alone,
He’s used to being lonely
The sky’s the only place he’s ever felt at home
His purpose strong, his path his own
The admiral, an object of the war,
may never reach the northern shore….
He takes the final flight
he won’t return after tonight
the plane is gone, the engine stalled
Goodbye, goodbye, to Archibald
