Human Centipede

First you feel the tingle of awareness
From the tips of your fingers to your cortex
You go to touch your face
Because you can't move your lips
Then realize that someone else's behind
Is attached to it
Open up your eyes
To the horror that lies in wait
Stuck between strangers
Seems to be the current state
You can't control your fate
Every move that they make
Drags you along
Like you're a part of a big snake
Panic takes control of your mind
When you find that you can
No longer protest
Decide where to go next
Everything you do
Is dependent on dudes
That you can't even see or talk to
Someone got you sewed up
While you were sleeping
They were creeping
Didn't see it coming
Now there's something that you're deep in
Got no choice but to keep in line
And you've got no voice
But you scream inside
But no one can hear you
It's clear to see that
Hell is the place you appear to be at
First things first
Forget your hunger and your thirst
You better expect the worsed
Because you're obviously cursed
This is a situation that can not be reversed
Until they lay your body in the back of a hearse
You got to kiss the asses of the faceless masses
That's all up in your face
Turning your life into traffic
To break free would take the
Mightiest of miracles to manifest
And until then you are just in a
Human centipede
Can't see who's ahead of me
I only get what they left for me
I can't say no
Human centipede
Got me on my knees
I think it's gonna be the death of me
Please let me go

Love doesn’t often stay
In May comes and goes end of summer
You could have it either way
Chill platonically or be lovers
We took it all the way
Passion was burning and we no longer could suffer
But then you threw it all away
All because you couldn’t bear to be another
Heteronormative Cisgender Lover
Never thought I’d see the day
From Christianity we would recover
But the children of today
Are much smarter than you father mother
Don’t treat your lover like a slave
Let go your jealous ways
There’s no need to hover
Reprogram how you behave
Please don’t turn the one you love into another
Heteronormative Cisgender Lover
Somebody save me from these radio pop songs
Full of anguish and pain crying in the rain
Talking about they got wronged
They say please be true
But that’s messed up
Because everybody thinks of other lovers
But imagine if they fessed up
And really told the truth
Hell no they’d rather pretend
Husband and wife
Love of my life
Well that may be but jealousy drives most of them crazy
So what do they do
Insure attachment with a baby
Yeah now you really got them locked in
But as happens so often
Desperation sets into the rot and
Now their poor kid’s strapped in the middle
Of a riddle that they can’t solve
Collecting woes they’ll carry to the coffin
Everyone outside of their family becomes the enemy
It saddens me the way they use the word loyalty
As if they’re in a street gang and jumped each other in
Trying to tell a poly person that they’re living in sin
This clique mentality is breeding ground for phobia
If you don’t fit into their narrow worldview
Nice knowing you
Blowing you kisses of judgment
Calling you promiscuous behind your back
All of a sudden where the love went
Can’t you understand that everybody’s on their own trip
You see me
I’m not trying to go out on the bro tip
I’m not Narcissus chilling in a convent
I like to get busy as long as their is consent
Heteronormative Cisgender Lover
I just want you to be you
Darling please just tell me true
I’ll always be there for you
Unless you don’t want me to
I don’t want to make you do
Anything you don’t want to
Only thing I ask of you
Is be true to yourself
Just let me know if I can help
Every day i think of you
Memories will get me through
I’ll always be kind to you
Won’t be cruel no I refuse

Well I went down to the local show
There were bands getting ready to play
So I ordered a beer
And I lit up a square
Because you know
I had had a long day
I was standing in the corner
Trying to decompress
You know I wasn’t trying to socialize
The next thing you know
Somebody got up in my face
And started filling me up with lies
Now I’m not wise
I’m just a hell of a guy
So I just try to listen up with love
But I reached my capacity
For their audacity
The push was coming to a shove
So I excused myself
And I stepped inside
And I got another shot and a brew
When I came back out he said
Thanks for being rude
And I said
No problem dude
Three cheers for everyone
Hooray for you and you and you and
Hooray for you and you
Hooray for you and you and you and you and
you and you and you and you and you and
Hooray for you and you and you
Hooray for you and you
Hooray for you and you and you and you and
Hooray for you and you and you and you and
Now this one here
He don’t like no queers
Or people with another color of skin
And this here dude
Is always trying to screw
Every woman that’ll talk to him
And this here guy
Won’t even look you in the eye
Unless he’s got something to gain
And this punk over here
Keeps calling my main man Kane
By his dead name
And we all live together like a funny family
Gossiping like golden girls
And sipping on our tea
I know you love the drama babe
Or why else would I be
Stuck inside this complicated
Role play fantasy
Hooray for you and you and you and
Hooray for you and you
Hooray for you and you and you and you and
you and you and you and you and you and
Hooray for you and you and you
Hooray for you and you
Hooray for you and you and you and you and
Hooray for you and you and you and you and

Stay hungry for more zones
Skip home
Fresh lip tones
Text Bru on Obama flip phone
Scallywag out here
Raising the flag
Like a freak pirate
Reaching in my bag for the black ink
Don’t think twice
Think thrice
Drink it to the ice then I’m crunching
Echoes from the dungeon
Barely escaped
Had to chew my arm off
Where my killer mixtape
It’s the god Zoo
Blazing in the loo
Knock another rock out of my shoe
Leaning off the Goose
Call a temporary truce
Just so we can try to eat
Back on my feet
Summer heat
Trying to get the cream
Make hay when the sun shine
Save the bees
Posted in the trees
No routine
To avoid the flying guillotine
Devil’s on the creep
They took my cousin in his sleep
Gather my chi
Drink the dragon drop
Ginseng in my tea
Watch a small fry
Become another fall guy
Get it on the side
There’s no need to publicize
Poisonous darts
Can take you out or get you open
Protect my neck
From a snake bite
Respect the gravesite
Desecrate the gate
You know that ain’t right
I send a kite to my fam
Avoid the scam rap
Of the modern okey doke
Muscles in a can
I like my ice cream to come in many flavors
Rainbow like a Lifesaver
Now and later
Respect the chamber that is fan fic folklore
Get into the clone war
Shut myself inside the study
Natural oak doors closing
Smell the smoke from the composing
So don’t sleep
I get to deep for dummies dozing
Press record let’s explore
the mind of a unicorn
Pegasus a heavy mist
On the tip of the sword
Open doors with dynamite
It’s time to write
Or find a mic
Samurai camouflage
Ain’t a better man alive
Franchise saliva
Spit out the soap suds
Clean out the suckers
In the cypher with no buds
The Cold Crush Krush Groove
Ice T Ice Cube
Drop like bird shit
I’m fly with the flu
Sly and smooth
While your eyes glued to my moves
Bald eagles in the sky soaring high
With a better view
Get a clue
We been around
For 3 million light years
Yeah we’re in the building
And we’re chilling
We’re right here
Spears and shields
In the field with the bloodshed
Armor made of iron
With the twins in the bunkbed
Once dead
All I did was wake and bake
So don’t mistake me for fake
Because you can’t relate
It’s the unicorn
Warm weather
See me in paradise
To share the mic
The size of elephant
That fear Christ
Lord have mercy
Please don’t hurt me
With all your might
Bright lights flash
At the end of the tunnel
Saber toothed tigers
Pterodactyls in the jungle
The shadows seem large
Make the sun look small
The sand still scorching
We stampede then fall
Stars say it’s spring
And if y’all got the green
Rain dance sing songs
Crown him the king
Bring me grapes and a cape
Got a date with the queen
No Maybelline
Laser beams
Chasing the dream
It’s so major league
Yo it’s so major league
Ain’t no beer guts
Compare nuts
Pistachios
On a patio
With a fatty rolled
American
This is for the natives
Allow me to let the spirits in
More friends than enemies
Get gone with the wind
Take me back to 93 again
Would you like to try
My Wu-Tang style my friend
That old familiar flow you know
Would you like to try my Wu-Tang style
Way down upon the Swanee River
So many rules
Freestyles I can deliver
Because I’m ruthless
Rocking the mic until I’m toothless
Old and dirty
But this is something new
That you can’t see
Catching me screaming like a banshee
Hyah
Forget what you saw
And what you heard
Just watch the birdie from the top gun
Son I make fun happen with my rhetoric
Better get with the samurai rapping sorceress
Barricaded in my fortress
With words from nerds
References that you’re sure to miss
Over your head
Dropping doo doo in your eye
Have you ever seen a fly fly pelican fly
So high
Yeah I look like a dot up in the sky
Superman
I hit you dead in the bird’s eye
Blowe
So how you like me now
Take me back to 93 again
Would you like to try
My Wu-Tang style my friend
That old familiar flow you know
Would you like to try my Wu-Tang style

Heard you’re going somewhere new
After all the things we’ve been through
I don’t want to wait
Promised you would take me with you
I don’t want to wait
Darling please take me with you
I want to stay
Ever since I let go of your hand
My life has been gray
Well you skipped work
It’s 2PM
And we are both still in bed
The sheets are twisted perfectly
And you’ve just fallen back to sleep
You’re drooling on the pillow
There’s a tattoo on your ass
Clothes cover the floor
And the plaster ceiling’s cracked
A summer rain is falling
Cooling of the summer heat
Raindrops kiss the windowpane
And outside it is green
So take me back to Philly
Back to LA
I hope I can find a love again
Like yours someday
Have you ever been scrambling around
Trying to get stuff done
When the next thing you know
You blew your chances with the perfect one
Too late
Watching it disintegrate like a sunset
No way
It just can’t be done yet
And you have to much respect for them
To mess with them
All you can do is cheer them on
And give your best to them
But now you’re just one of the rest of them
Just another big fan
So all you can do is make a song
Of your confession and
You kind of want them to hear it
But then again you kind of don’t
So you sit choking on it
Like a lump in your throat
When you can’t hold back
So you finally let it go
And now that you’re exposed
And their probably going to know
You’re feeling guilty because
You could have wrote a letter
Or an email or a text
But I guess I’m just
Another Virgo mess
Crying along in my room
Cogito ergo doomed
Darling please take me with you
I want to stay
Ever since I let go of your hand
My life has been gray
So take me back to Philly
Back to LA
I hope I can find a love again
Like yours someday

Well I met a man
In a garbage can
He looked at me and said
Let’s start a band
One that no one understands
I’ll play the jug
and you can play the can
We’ll travel to the darkest place
And play a show down in a lake
We’ll travel up to rural Maine
And play a show out in the rain
And plant a flag in Saskatoon
Underneath the bloody moon
Let’s make sure we’re out of tune
That’ll make those critters swoon
Stay on the road
From March to June
Doors at dawn
Show at high noon
But let’s make sure we do it soon
Because the end is nigh
And then he died
Well I left myself back on a shelf
Way down by Mexico
I was so tired that I expired
But my hair it kept a-growing
It wrapped me up in a cocoon
My body decomposed
I turned to dirt and it didn’t hurt
And to this day
I wonder why that
I don’t want to fly
Because I’m afraid that I will die
I don’t want to fly
No I don’t want to even try
I don’t want to fly
Just leave me here so I can cry
I don’t want to fly
I don’t know how and I don’t know why
I met a frog in a hollow log
And she told me that she was a god
So I maxed out all my credit cards
Cut them up and threw them in a ditch
Put a tracking device underneath my car
And started driving to DC
Put my phone up to my face
And started making live TV
I told the world that my intent
Was to hug the president
An army of small drones was sent
And they followed me wherever I went
They declared a red alert
Severe threat terrorist attack
But all those drones followed my clone
And that is how I snuck in back
I don’t want to fly
Because I’m afraid that I will die
I don’t want to fly
I don’t want to even try
I don’t want to fly
Just leave me here so I can cry
I don’t want to fly
Excuse me while I kiss the sky

So you think that you figured it out
That’s how I know I’m going to be
Digging you out
From your delusional comforter
Perpetual sufferer
Searching for humility
Everything is killing me
Face or the gut
Now hurry up
Which one will it be
These are your only options
So what’s popping
Back again
Brace yourself
If you ever plan to face yourself
But I doubt it’s going to happen
Any time soon
Stubborn little moon
Hey wake up
Yeah I’m talking to you
Thinking about what you been through
Is so much more
Than anybody else’s chores
Life is so unfair
There there
Couldn’t handle the abyss’s stare
When it returned your gaze
So you burned away
And from the call of duty
Then you turned away
Saturated with gray days
Slave wage
Rereading the same page
Can’t turn it
Who glued my new leaves together
Better burn it
The whole book
Yup
Shook up your soda
Popped the tab
And you drenched yourself
In the carbonation
Feels like you’re facing life
Chasing a dream
But listen to your primal scream
And see that the sun will shine a beam
And you can climb it
Like a beanstalk
That nobody believed was going to grow
And guess what bro
Yo
So you think that you figured it out
That’s how I know I’m going to be
Digging you out
From your delusional comforter
Perpetual sufferer
Searching for humility
Everything is killing me
Face or the gut
Now hurry up
Which one will it be
These are your only options
So what’s popping
Back again
Hopping around on my precious peg leg
I ain’t too proud to beg
Is an understatement
Don’t you hate when
America is making you psycho
Like Patrick Bateman
And every time that you say
Not today Satan
Man please
Don’t you know
The brother’s got no problem waiting
Goblin dating seems like the only thing to do
Trying to find a demon lover
To share your misery with you
Crew is only who is only
Down to sap your energy
But it won’t perturb
As long as they don’t disturb your reverie
Daydreaming and sleepwalking
Brain screaming just keep talking
Telling yourself those sweet soothing lies
But you are no exception
Because everybody dies
My my
And if the world as you know it
Is about to end
And the solace of death
Is your only friend
Then I’ll raise my drink to cheers you
And then I’ll say
Here’s to kicking the comforter to the curb
And facing fears too
The smoke clears for a second
You choke tears for a second
Feeling the lucidity
Finally gotten rid of the debris
And you can see clear for a second
Then it starts to fade aways
But you tell yourself
That you won’t forget
Next thing you know
You shrug it off and light a cigarette
Oh I guess you haven’t figured yet
Yeah it’s true
I’m delusional too
So hoody-hoo
And fucking buckle my shoe
So you think that you figured it out
That’s how I know I’m going to be
Digging you out
From your delusional comforter
Perpetual sufferer
Searching for humility
Everything is killing me
Face or the gut
Now hurry up
Which one will it be
These are your only options
So what’s popping
Back again
They’re never going to know
It’s only up to you to go forth
Pick a path and so forth
Build a snow fort
Then maybe melt it with a blow torch
Baby you can’t know more
Than you already do
You know everything you need to know
You already knew
Someone said stay true to me
And when I asked who
Gave you this advice
They said why it was you
The sky why is it blue
Is something that I never wondered
Until now
As I’m writing these rhymes in my room
I am aware
Of the overwhelming presence of doom
Sweeping off my hearth with a
Wicca Wicca witch’s broom
Keeping it clean so I can welcome
The mean North wind
With a grin
Like I’m calling down the thunder
With a Cheshire’s cat smile
Blasting everlasting rays from within
Putting a spin on your pedestrian style
So you think that you figured it out
That’s how I know I’m going to be
Digging you out
From your delusional comforter
Perpetual sufferer
Searching for humility
Everything is killing me
Face or the gut
Now hurry up
Which one will it be
These are your only options
So what’s popping
Back again

Coolzey Fairfield, Iowa
Golden era hip-hop roots planted in black Iowa dirt are the foundation. Growth tempered by alternative era rock influence. This along with a love for the juxtaposition of the dark, horrific nature of life paired with a slapstick and comedic view of the world allow for a wide, unpredictable arsenal ranging from soul-spilling indie bedroom rock to wise-cracking battle rap and on to radio pop. ... more
