lyrics
Everybody’s clingin’ to the upside/ can’t they see its upside down?
Better buckle up/ we're in for a rough ride now
Cruising through dark rain/ sharp pain lives in our veins
Is that the Holy light or headlights in our lane?
Settle down/ deep breath- pull yourself together now
Don’t swerve/ don’t blink- don’t bring the devil out
Duct tape covers up the rear view mirror
When the stuck brake grinds, I hear you clearer
Will this road end? oh no, there’s no end- the gates been opened
Clinging to your fate/ your fate’s been holding by a clothespin
Someone’s on our tail/ the tank’s almost outta gas
No one taught me how to drive/ no one taught me how to crash
Ask the deck of cards "what’s the deal?"
I’ve been banging rocks together trying to reinvent the steering wheel
Real funny how its all coming back to me slow
But it freezes up the faster we go
Should’ve never left the factory doors
But it did now I’m practically broke
Asked my pocket lint ‘how you gonna pay for that’
All my drinks try to hide their faces in a paper bag
It’s a long ride back from the wrong side of tracks
Lose the map ‘cause I’m wiser than that
The almighty dollar meets the unholy weapon
Karma’s at your door for the collection
Return my body to the dirt where it came
Strip me of my goods and my name
Stretch me on the tracks for the midnight train
We can’t recognize the darkness till we recognize the flame
(Repeat)
All the voices in your head got your vision painted red
So you brake, brake, brake
We flew forward and drew closer to other side
That’s never been my choice to make make make
We know people who know people who sew evil seeds
The ego bleeds and breaks, breaks, breaks
The hearts and minds and vital nerves, the suicidal urge
One of us is bound to take, take, take
Me out the frame/ the rust stains cover the name
Smother the flame/ what you running from, discover the pain
Glance over at the passenger/ we’re one in the same
Rolling with no aim/ only got each other to blame
What I wouldn’t give to rest and park
But I’m driving on a question mark
Bad directions and arrested hearts
Hanging out the window/ will it end? no
That’s the bestest part
Never-ending night drive/ trying to keep my tires in the white lines
But they keep leaning to the right side
Gotta keep my bloodshot eyes open
Looking like a mugshot and whatnot underneath the sky, broken
The black air is clearer than you'd expect
And now all my glass got a mirror-effect
I can see my past sins plus the here and next
But the disease will take years to detect
Return my body to the dirt where it came
Strip me of my goods and my name
Stretch me on the tracks for the midnight train
We can’t recognize the darkness till we recognize the flame
(Repeat)
Better buckle up/ we're in for a rough ride now
Cruising through dark rain/ sharp pain lives in our veins
Is that the Holy light or headlights in our lane?
Settle down/ deep breath- pull yourself together now
Don’t swerve/ don’t blink- don’t bring the devil out
Duct tape covers up the rear view mirror
When the stuck brake grinds, I hear you clearer
Will this road end? oh no, there’s no end- the gates been opened
Clinging to your fate/ your fate’s been holding by a clothespin
Someone’s on our tail/ the tank’s almost outta gas
No one taught me how to drive/ no one taught me how to crash
Ask the deck of cards "what’s the deal?"
I’ve been banging rocks together trying to reinvent the steering wheel

Eyedea: The Many Faces of Mikey
by Micheal Larsensupported by 20 fans who also own “Don't Bring the Devil Out”
I have been listening to variations of this album a long time. I remember I was living in a cardboard dumpster when some young guy was like yo dude it's gonna rain come crash on my couch. He played The Many Faces of Oliver Hart for me. I fell in love, I set my favorite track as Rain because we looped it when the rain came. That was one of the early acts of kindness I received in the nearly 20 years I've been homeless.

Album of the year. In a fair and just world, they would be headlining festivals with this one. Big hooks. Vivid verses. Fingers-crossed, the instrumentals will get the vinyl treatment.

The debut project from MCs Earthchild and The Northwest Kid is genre-crossing, transformational hip-hop.
