lyrics

Drive Through Midnight

this ain't a lab – floor is concrete slab
walls cinderblock – blue note cloth
tapestry print – minimal money spent
equipment's all used – all the jacks are loose
aces wild – deuce display the style
stay a while – on the highway play the file
flac encoded – back and loaded
heartache flowed it – hard to hold it
gotta break it to shine the light
hard to take it this time of night
balm to the soul – songs to unfold
dawn's far away – dusk is long ago
the road rolls – extends eternally now
serenity expressed as burning in sound
intensifier – wanna bring it higher
smoke in the blue ridge – call it a signal fire

drive through the midnight – keep the road in sight
span emptiness like a bridge might
long haul drivers – poets pulling all-nighters
insight for the fighters and the freedom riders

as for why the blend is fly intenseness
can't know the middle til you know where the end is
what you find – what you brought
how much more time do you think you got
you wanna make a bet?
you say you ain't where you're going yet
well, there's no way of knowing that
any act could be the last you perform
just a fact to affirm – no cause for alarm
lost souls strive to strike fear in the heart
erase steps forward back to nearer the start
when we thought we were reaching the dawn
the horizon recedes and the night goes on indeed...
old souls, not to speak on their behalf,
gotta play the long game to navigate the dark path
and my type strive to keep the rhymes tight
describe the vibe of the firelight

soul on the road – engine pumps pistons
switch gears from groove to resistance
in ill halls, shrill calls to build walls
reptile mind style – one size fits all
amid confusion demagogues shout supposed solutions
power grab's what that's about
divide and conquer tactics
degrade – attract dogmatic fanatics
smother thought that's critical
cast the others as the stereotypical criminal
desensitize anesthetized headset
disinclined to empathize in that
OLED glow, size of the parlor wall
451 if y'all still recall
kids killed by cops gunshots
mothers grieve, killers get paid leave
