S. Reidy, Open Mike Eagle - Pipeline Lyrics

Ten toes down in the gravel
Last to feeling trapped upon the road less traveled
A silly sinking ship 'cuz all the passengers are safe
And wearing badges while your brain can make a bear out of a badger
Silly rabbit, cliques are for the pigs
The grossly misinformed enthusiastically content
The servants of a profit make mortality a savior
Foolish hot takers seeking echos in the chamber
And I'm proud to be a rapper that can wear it on his face
Act up in a way that makes the passive feel unsafe
The art inside a thought that manifests into a demon
Just to make him see it's only seething for a season
Healing burned scars from lost times and dark souls (facts)
Lost arts in pipelines to wrong homes (facts)
Time flies with no signs to grab hold (facts)
Souls die with white lies and say so's (yup)
Vision's out of pocket
Thinking that I'm Ash when I behave like Team Rocket
Something in the air can make a paradigm crack
When the mirror still reflects a conscious man's face back saying

So what's it gonna be?
You wanna be alone but all the moments on repeat say
You're so lonely
(And every moment that you have is still sinking in the sand like)

Barking up the wrong tree
You wanna see a sign but all that's left is you and me
I'm not a real man, but it don't take one to see that
You're still lonely

Always wanna fight until the fist up
Always think you're right until you're wrong
Never make your mind until it makes you

You playing like I won't leave
I swear to God stop saying shit you don't mean
Take your goddamn time and pick the right words
I know the goddamn size under the iceberg
So let me kick you a tip
I can't sit through the ice
I can't see the mist
This is some simple advice
Jesus Christ, I spoke so plainly
You must've thought this shit was easy when it can't be
I'm trying to be diplomatic
Dammit, I'm angry
I'm still taking my time
I'm still spelling shit out
It's hard speaking my mind without yelling shit out
I hear you stomping and I don't know what the hell it's about
Just enlighten me
I hear it two days later like fucking finally
(I'm coming off obtuse when I ain't trying to be)
