“Trickster’s Groove”
Twitchin’ in my battle station
Switchin’ from generation
to generation
Slip ups, sly verbal masturbation
comin’ into contemplation
and while I’m simply institutionalized
It’ll catch me by surprise
Blinded by the white lies (and bright eyes)
on a Thursday night
My head pops off spins
and hits the ceiling
What a tricky, freaky feelin’
You know it’s about to have me squealin’
but it’s alright, Ma, I’m only healin’

“Old Faces”
I’d like to start livin’
a conversion
and now old faces
seem sorta troublin’
Suppose I did somethin’
and I’d get rid of them
I had some promises
and I suppose I kept one
Now I’m sayin’ one thing
and it feels like the answer
is being shot at me
and shared with change
Old faces rearranged
Lives turned around
Almost lookin’ the same
These new faces and places
These spaces abound
don’t seem like trouble
Not now
I know they once were
but how?
The humble heart does not say
“I can’t do anything”
but “I can’t do everything”
