Kaleidoscope Rising

(my half of a 'The Push & The Light' collab)

Ever since we never ever had a bonfire
I said a prayer every time a lighter went up
to stoke the cherry on one of them soulful dubs
where did the spirits go cous'? couldn't be lost in the
'verberation of the subs / 'cause ever since the heads hung
I've seen only broken picket fences and the windows shut
what happened to the strut in the grasp of all human's reach?
where is located the ravenous stalk in the spirit's talk?
what the fuck happened to the wobble in the rainbow's walk?

ever since we never ever ever ever had a bonfire
doused our sleeves in gasoline / sparked a lighter 'neath our cuffs
gave ourselves up to the glow of the moon / wax and wane of the sun
we danced all day / we danced all night
danced into the face of fear out of spite
deserted songs 'bout what's wrong rhyme on what's right
how the color spectrum of the skies has allowed us to thrive
nothing too trite / contrived never fed a soul or kept a body alive
derived / ain't the lsd gripping the best of me
no lies allied / aligned with a pillar of light
these are my eyes in the rainbowing sunshine
mandala on the back of my hand and a smile / never deprived
virile / all ways loved / never lacking of a percentile / explosions
of the chakras / connections selecting predestined directions
just follow the path / always loving waters birth new islands and isles
evolved remedies sativas sought by our salivas / sacred salves
no denials / no questions to be asked / stimulated foundries
just follow the path / refractions of light through the prism
just the oneness / no isms / just concrescence of love
the souls and blessed wavering hands / the mast above
the cymbals / the splash / sails full bloom / the dance and the laugh

ever since we never had a bonfire
I said a prayer every time a lighter went up
to stoke the cherry on one of them soulful dubs
what happened to the strut in the human's speech? in the spirits talk?
what the fuck happened to the wobble in the rainbows walk?
we traced it in chalk
channeled ourselves through it and the photographs
breathed life into the images and
listened to the voices of one other talk
each wave of sound crashed over the former
still we could decipher the difference between
the pieces because this is our dream and we built it together

ever since we never had a bonfire
I said a prayer every time a lighter went up
to stoke the cherry on one of them soulful dubs
why? because rainbows inspire and ever since
we never ever had a bonfire / I said a prayer every time a lighter
went up to stoke the cherry on one of them soulful dubs because...
