[Intro - Soft vinyl hiss, dark ambient synth pad, slow gong chime, heavy bass drop]

[Verse 1 - Low, introspective rap delivery]
Marinaded in deep delved thought,
I don't make offers to those that offer me lies...
I'm tempted to give libations to the ancients that muse this mind,
Using the ink, the paper, the pen, and the letters that I line!
For as much as I know, I know I'm still fresh and rudimentary,
All I don't know or understand is as bright as flashing signs to me,
That there's so much more out there in this life for me to experience, learn and see!

[Chorus - Driving boom-bap head-nod rhythm, dark piano accents]
Yes I am still blind!
And silencing of thyself is a guarantee
Down the right path of the less traveled
Towards the unseen light that most never find,
But only yearn for or picture in dreams!
I visualize what I think until it becomes something I see,
You see...

[Verse 2 - Concentrated, deliberate flow]
I don't know or understand sacred geometry
But I know and understand written spell
And how its placement of letters and words should be!

[Interlude - Beat drops out abruptly to lo-fi radio filter, vinyl crackle, lighter flick sound, cough/sigh]
[Pitched-Down Voice - Deep filter, low spoken word]
"...Interlude right here as I am parched, and I must take a drink and breathe in this mindstretching strain of leaf. Bear with me, I will be brief..."
[Exhale, beat drops back in heavy with a loud snare snap]
"...Now where were we? Ahhh yes, here we are..."

[Verse 3 - Aggressive, commanding rap delivery]
I know the deep and dark secrets of men, as I am of a breed that has such demons myself!
For demons in men is truly a thing, but not as horned beasts as silly stories have made so many think and believe!

[Chorus - Full energy, heavy sub bass and crisp snare]
I understand the human psyche, and the different states of emotions,
As I have disassembled most of mine for the sake of curiosity!
And poetically showing those having a difficult time understanding or knowing themselves...

[Outro - Beat strips to low bass and vinyl crackle, echoing fading delivery]
I'm giving lessons in learning thyself away for free...
Lessons in learning thyself... away for free.

[Fade Out on soft piano chord and vinyl hiss]
