"Still Life"
Chorus
I'm in the middle of the still life
The emotion in front of the knife
The heart in between the eyes
Right next to the mind
Verse 1
Trying to make do at this time
I'm not sure when I'll bring up those blinds
I take the wheel and just cruise
Cruise and freestyle my blues
Seeing people in public with words of few
Silence has taken the light out of the city
Yet I see portraits shine in the streets
But the pyramid eyes takes place of happiness
Faint smiles break loose of universalness
This prose fills in the spaces of emotions
I'm just touching on the surface
Not gonna be held down by the dictions
All cuz I listen
Verse 2
My eyes held still
All cuz I don't want things missing
My breath seen by the human eye
My hands numb from writing
Outside is the grey zone without sighting
Causing myself to lose eye perception
Cut down from worldwide lessons
But I'm thankful for the blessin's
Living with my words not forgotten
I don't live my life off cards watchin'
Just keep it with heart walkin'
Staying on the blvd of carpe reservoir
Chorus
I'm in the middle of the still life
The emotion in front of the knife
The heart in between the eyes
Right next to the mind
Verse 3
Broken free of being a statue
I put my hands on all of these virtue's
That American flag reflects upon my eyes
It reminds me the stars are hanging over my head
Even though the structure of my heart is going down
I got new ground
Cuz I put everything on the line for my people
Life gets overwhelming as if I touched a coffin of a pharaoh
The origins in Cairo
My despairs flood the Nile River
Pieces of me are broken silver
I'm now short of that quarter
Verse 4
I finally landed on the shore
Watercolors taking over with stencil
I'm laying my thoughts and dreams with you
A Gemini waking up on the tones
I'm skeptical of the lost message in the stereo
Though I forever remain the up lifter
Words of the past I remember
Questions around me wonder
Will I make it to the day when I finish the letter
Chorus
I'm in the middle of the still life
The emotion in front of the knife
The heart in between the eyes
Right next to the mind
