I thought it worthy, probably won’t be locked til thirty
Remember no top sheet, knock knees,
And your being still got me surely
My mind’s a pimp in the business of tricks
Reclines and sits because the sales is pitched
Hold twine in fists, grown tired still I exist
Kick through the piss and shit, tell my story like I’m the snitch
Hook
And I lay to fall asleep another lonely night
I know it’s mostly in my mind
Keep the featured partition in sight
I know the truth will show in time
So we sleep together holding so tight
Because we peel through the rhinds
Known in rhymes, I hold my lines as I die
The wind blows so cold in chimes
Verse 2
I’ve been the man pushing miles
Never had big responsibilities, no home no child
Just filling my goblets with tears crocodile
Heated drunk and seeking that cool kitchen tile
Aisles walked down so I could make you meals
I give freely so you’re left to take can’t steal
I love to share, I share to love, we’re scared to feel
So we make pacts, we pack bowls, carry conceal
That rubber cement holds us to come apart
meant, I stay, do my art, you go do your part
We walked and took a talk by lake park
It’s a few more stitches for me, but you’re really going to break my Mom’s heart
Tough call Blake, she said to my stalled fate
I remember her mutter something about Gallway
She dipped, left a note on the fridge, salutation read “love always”
What a trip, I guess I’ll most miss, the sound of her steps, coming down hallways
Hook
And I lay to fall asleep another lonely night
I know it’s mostly in my mind
Keep the featured partition in sight
I know the truth will show in time
So we sleep together holding so tight
Because we peel through the rhinds
Known in rhymes, I hold my lines as I die
The wind blows so cold in chimes
Verse 3
I hear there’s a smoke stack looming in the distance
We hold hands tight, planning to cruise until we’ve missed it
Maybe let ourselves build something new out of the rivets
Give our bodies to science, nice for the applied love
Knew you cared about me and then paired up
Still this highway will not spared us
Guess we aren’t that scared, huh?
Guess we might not care, huh?
Maybe too much as our eyes well up
Try to understand each other still seldom
Do we get the Ouija board bouncing without the devil love
Horns poke to horny, mad never got your voice treble up
Choice level grub, with a moist beveled mug, chose death separate
At a distance I didn’t care to mention, knowing it’s better then
Not the comparative, but the time passage, growing immune to arsenic (princess bride)
Hook
And I lay to fall asleep another lonely night
I know it’s mostly in my mind
Keep the featured partition in sight
I know the truth will show in time
So we sleep together holding so tight
Because we peel through the rhinds
Known in rhymes, I hold my lines as I die
The wind blows so cold in chimes
Verse 4
Hey look, there’s your eyes boring through me
Speak like, we’re from different foreign movies
Stay hooked, off the chore list like you do me
We light, the way in our adventure for the viewing
This is my eulogy to the kid I could have been
Eat myself from the inside like only a cannibal can
gaunt face, dark eyes, I’ve always been mad lean
Logic over instinct, I try to beat back the animal plans
Travelling Man, using Defense Mechanisms agaisnt the 300 miles
Calvary can’t, show me much I haven’t seen in the hunter’s smile
Adaptation, I’m all three in one, so I face my own Columbo guile
I fumble through my logic for traces of you
Like the changing nature of a case when it’s viewed
I’m that film director long plot making you choose
Do you watch the train slowly wreck or courageously move?
Hook
And I lay to fall asleep another lonely night
I know it’s mostly in my mind
Keep the featured partition in sight
I know the truth will show in time

Hyphon is more Henry David Thoreau than Gucci Mane. More likely to aspire to fill the shoes of Eugene V. Debs than Warren
Buffet. Using music to deliver an urgent cry for people to wake to the life that is possible for us all. Hyphon’s music thus takes on a uniqueness not found in both mainstream and independent hip hop. Genuine emotion and passionate delivery make him impossible to ignore....more
The crew I founded in 2006 ever expanding, ever producing. If you like me, by extension, I think you like them. A bit more crass side of myself for the harsher parts of the world. Great friends. Hyphon
These are also close friends. The sweeping sounds of The Great Mundane leave a beautiful nest for Lucaws Dix to both ruffle his feathers in and settle in for a melodic nap. So much variety on this. Hyphon
