Stop Sign (Mr. Elliot Bill Phillips)

from We'll Make It Together by AllOne

about

This song is one that I guested on for Mr. Phillips' excellent debut album "Songs For Salena". It is also my first collaboration with another hip-hop artist. Charlie "Eb7#9" Button (producer of The Inevitable Effort) did his whole album. Mr. Phillips and I became friends while in Oswego, visiting each other in dorms and freestyling together and performing the same open mic nights. This song, for me, has to do with the romantic life of someone whose outcomes are often negative and the people they draw in are also negative. It is a reminder that you can fix no one.

lyrics

Unnatural alarming grave voices gather me,
I'm attracted to the bazaar like James Joyce's “Araby”
maybe its a phase poised to atrophy,
but currently this loyal amorous
patient boy is flattering
coy arachnids, anointed blackening widower
making weaving white lie spoiled hammocks and
concealing poison sacs within,
joyful saccharine, sweet talking turmoil Bathory
foil ravishing, I'm a lunatic tied (tide) to see (sea)
deep waves brain wash adjoin to fathoming,
Her royal Majesty's siren voice is maddening,
beckoning bard banshee sings
of relationship-wrecks to boil in baths with me,
the "world's an oyster" actually,
she loves the pearls and flexes muscles/mussels to destroy anatomy,
My reaction sees me in a shell turned(shelter) to avoid CaLAMity,
But I have faith amongst (a monk's) building like a monastery,
Despite shes an apostle sharing the products carried
in apothecaries, she awfully cons-fine-men with solitary,
confinement promising solidarity,
allurement's verily when skill appears extraordinary,
not when skillful appearances are all they carry,
so doubly no one could be as hot as Carrie. I guess its all arbitrary.
She was skeletal limbs scrawny bending,
like trees in autumn skinny, bark was clearly
worse than bite since she would "scarf" it heavy
then "go for the throat" like winter wardrobe settings,
yeah a hearts a "chest" piece I "treasure" gently,
but that's not suggesting my "ex mark spots"
for pirate booty she ought to bury.
Realizing my novice empathy,
got me deathly caught in webbing,
I endure an exiting, without attempting
to talk offensively, no matter the wreck I see,
before I get to feet to mend the scene
I remind myself EMT is “empty” technically,
there are only so many cogs and metal springs
and quandaries friends can need,
before I'm left to treat a heart-wrenched machine,
I imagine “re-pair” means we're
to off the head we heed
and bond in a better team.
