Chuck Dickens 01:15
lyrics
buy track
The clock’s ticking like a helicopter top spinning The paradoxes that I’ve pondered got these bots glitching I’m in the kitchen whipping eggs and frying hot chicken Spitting like my snots dripping, kicking like I’m mosh pitting Locked in and sitting smoothly when the plot thickens Stop snitching on these people eating via shop lifting My right cross hitting like the son of God’s risen If you only rap about rap then I do not listen I’m on my Dickens, best of times, and worst of times Living but the air taste like pesticides and turpentine I turn out fine cause my moxy is metamorphic They backbone is jelly, my spine is a stegosaurus I sorta sorted through it all but my algorithms wonky Uneven equilibrium, I balance on the offbeat Trade a lot to have the heralding halogens be on me But be careful what you wish for, the alchemy is costly

Stained Glass Bottles ft Kurn't Cobain 01:30
lyrics

(Kurn't Cobain) I've been feeling like a bone in a Rancor's mouth Stuck swimming upstream like a rainbow trout My days showing grays, it's a rainbow's drought Guess I need a pot of gold to let my rainbow out I work to get this money, and I ain't no slouch But ain't no cryptocurrency hidden in my couch Feeling like you are all drones, and there ain't no doubt Wonder if I am too, swear that ain't my route But who am I to judge when I'm in this sludge We ain't gonna live forever 'cause we ain't Paul Rudd I ain't got no damn time for these Elmer Fudds We're all water near a dam and the dam won't budge (Claud Six) Send the superheroes home, there’s nothing here worth saving Just a bunch of bad ideas were irrigating When the gods sacrifice themselves for the humans I’m yelling at the tv like “what the fuck you doing?” I’m moving in infinity sign spiraling patterns While the daily news guts me like a science cadaver I don't harmonize with the whining violin chatter And I don’t ride the waves where leviathans gather It’s batter up, Baby Ruth, we shaking and making moves Calling our own shots like we ain’t got a thang to lose I’m taking too long to finish this damn model And to write the rest of the letters for these stained glass bottles

Grocery Aisle 01:49
lyrics
buy track
I feel a thunderbolt attack my chest while strolling down the grocery aisle My first instinct is to assume that this is how I’m going out In the section where they put the hummus and the almond milk Which never counteracted what the smokes and alcohol had built If this is it for me, I probably won’t miss much Other than my fam gathering at Christmas How my wifey writes the list up like she’s jotting some accolades And thirty years of heading to the store on gloomy Saturdays It’s spinach in the bag cuz I could never grow it This was gonna be the week that I chose smoothies over sodas I’ve lived a thousand moons and a million frozen pizzas A billion errand trips and zero flights to Costa Rica Because I was busy working, so we’d get busy shopping So now we can afford the fourth cheapest of the options Maybe splurge outside the budget for the freshest of the orange juice Thats the type of tiny thing that I look forward to Time to crash, but I am zagging and I’m zigging Thinking how all the plastic packaging outlives me Especially since the pain has multiplied and grown So just bury me amongst the rising pile of styrofoam Or steer me to the candy and far from the olive bar Or brush me to the side like I was served a la carte It’s hard to feel like the grind isn’t all we are So I guess I wouldn’t mind if I should…wait false alarm

about

I am what is wrong with the world of cinema because I love superhero movies. They're the only reason I pony up the loot for a seat, popcorn, soda, and some assorted form of sour gummies. I see every single one on opening night, and when I get home from the theater, I spend hours on the corners of the message boards looking for easter eggs I missed or theories on what's to come next. I read articles and watch YouTube clips and have a group chat with some homies where we ponder and geek.

But as much as I cherish the simplistic trope of good and evil, I cannot for the life of me ever understand it when the celestial beings of omnipotence and omniscience pledge their allegiance to sacrificing themselves for the human race. Because, as I see it, there's nothing here worth saving.

That's not to say that there isn't wonder and love in our world, and it isn't to say that we are all void of purpose and meaning, just speeding through the vastness of the universe and conjuring a make-believe reason to keep going. On a cynical level, I believe that we all are going to destroy this place eventually be it from wrath or gluttony. On a poetic level, I believe that the finite nature of our existence is precisely what makes things beautifully significant/significantly beautiful.

These three songs are about the braggadociousness of a man moonlighting in his atelier, the feeling of falling behind as you try to keep up with all your duties and hobbies, and the acceptance of it all ending.

Plus, I thought the title sounded dope.

Much love to Aptato for another collab, to my wife for graciously supporting me as I still try to touch the heights of my youth, to Dru aka Kurn’t for dropping bars, and to anyone who listens.

Peace,
Lucas "Claud Six" Dix
