Album Description

Single release by Matthew Alec featuring C.J. Briggs

Part II of the Jazz Meets Poetry Series

Lyrics:

"Microdosing ephemera
through a heavy filter
Roll my own and own my rolls
Dreg addict, I’ll be damned
The bottom of the barrel
Is starting to look pretty good

Temptation driven so virulently fierce
Ferociously eroding determination’s pierce
A waning spirit
Once so clear, it
Since fades in overwhelming jeer
Relaxing intense inner fear
Magnanimously conceding an untrodden frontier

Temptation driven so virulently fierce
Ferociously eroding determination’s pierce
A waning spirit
Once so clear, it
Since fades in overwhelming jeer
Relaxing intense inner fear
Magnanimously conceding an untrodden frontier

Who’s on worst? What’s down pleasant home road?
When does Santa burn the presents?
You didn’t know? That’s how he makes the coal.
Shove that up your stocking, you might want to plug your nose.

But one taste you ask?
The truth of purpose shrouded in mask
Frivolous conjecture
Heed way to lecture
A suggestion that bears notice perhaps
Lest not time elapse! Neglect spirit,
Mind and body commit intellect to relapse"
