When we gamble to stray from wrong
There’s o tell who’ll be gone
Once kept warm from evening on
Wards off bitter shivers
Sleeps so long
So long completed REM cycle
Three to four hours of rest might do
Shaken awaken from nightmares once called dreams
Pulling apart the thought at the seems
Keep on working the short long shift
Keeping work on the long short of it
Could be that once you sit down
You won’t get up again for awhile
And that’s okay, it’s all okay, everyone seems okay
But that’s fine, it’s fine, everybody’s just alright
alright alright! I was fibbing
Just leave it be okay?

How to Feel Today?
Another chance to practice acting, hurray!
It’s all there…
Oh delicate dame,
Not one day,
So Lost
And tossed around
On the magical
History tour
Sunken and Sewered
Find a cove to take cover
From the flurry of news
Written down now
To be misinterpreted later
Misconception, mis contraception,
Another beautiful soul ushered out into this world
Fill him up with fears
Lies and fibs bring him to tears
To f*** up
Decisions
Just breathe slowly at first
Being selfish
There’s always time for responsibilities later
And it’s all always true
If it’s all informed decisions

The Argumental Afterword

Couldn’t get enough eh-now would’ya look-at-that,
One Hiphop beat and Karly D’s back,
Of course I’d say it so matter-a-fact,
Come on inside, kick your feet up, and sit on back.
Wrote this whole track just, diss-ya again,
Wrote an LP in a year, now that’s discipline!
Sets of five crunches, ooo so masculine,
Heads up in the clouds, ahh thanks mescaline!
The omniscient penny-stock investor,
Profitless cornucopia, so sick of trash.
Bested by the Tweety to my Silvestor,
Looks like I’m the one sufferin’ succotash!
End Conversation:
[2] Woah, what are you doing? Staph, staph! [cut music abruptly] It says here you’re an acoustic singer-songwriter!
[1] More like a fire-igniter, the label denier with niter whose lyrics are tighter.
[2] I guess, well, those are words that rhyme... but let’s just stick to our musical label
[1] Nah, I’d rather live in this fable

Lucifer's Luxury Hotels
04:52
|

Death devised another plot or plan
To construct on another plot of land
He purchased after saving more souls
Of gracious folk with no morals
Lucifer’s Luxury Hotels, had to take out a loan
A risk based on this, Year’s worth of tombs
But an investment prospect for his home
Yet above the Earth’s crust,
where survival is a must
People delay every virus,
life expectancy jumps a hundred plus
A shaky Satan trembles at the sight of his misfortune
Knowing full-well that he’ll need to make payment soon
“How many times, Do I have to send
Those GOD-DAMNED LETTERS?
before I hit the bend.
Just to sit back, And watch my
GOD DAMN DEBT SURGE”
Close to foreclosure he sends out another brochure
In attempt to lure those of souls more pure
“Have a swim in the pool, it’s sweltering hot!
you ought to dwell for a time in hell
One single payment, one soul to sell
What a deal (steal *whispered*)!”
Lucifer’s Luxury Hotels, Had to take out a loan
A risk based on this, Year’s worth of tombs
Even though the thought, Of foreclosure looms
With spirits drained,
his “soul” currency remained,
only one option left to be repaid
Disillusioned laughs all the way to the bank
Knowing full-well how much his stock sank
Off to see Crowley,
failing with his current plea
Had to give up the deed

Mind Games

Honestly the thoughts of me portrayed by myself
Through a passerby’s eyes made up by sick minds
Allow me to requestion how I’m viewed
It’s nothing new, been mixing a fixing how to think
My thoughts are skewed, but what can I do?
Talk to a friend, write it with a journal and pen,
Hold it in? No but where to begin.
As a buddy once said, “How can you know something’s off in your head
When from where your thoughts stem is the problem?”
It’s odd feeling closer to friends who can’t stay
Then they move far away, hope you check back in someday

Live, Love, Let It Go

Why is it that every time you’re near,
I can’t help but smile?
It’s infectious this love, eh dear?
You’d take an inch, but I’d give a mile.
Don’t worry I won’t spread too thin
Sharing love with everyone I meet
Keeps me content to take it all back in
The more love you give, the more is created.
It’s simple chemistry really
Water those grounded seeds then consume
To convert into energy used to caress
Instead of into this angry mess.
I must confess that it’s rather trying, to perform
While tending to these emotions
Averting the storm.
Created within by sin repeated over again.
Live, Love Let It Go
Live, Love Let It Go
Live, Love Let It Go
Live, Love Let It Go

A Tale of Two Tendencies
04:09

Awaken from that beautiful daze
To heartache
Fallen back into the haze
Insatiate
With guilt occupying the days
Contemplate what’s been built
All time spent overthinking
Proves frustrating
All unknowns are left to reside
In castles in the clouds
To the Queen of which
Happiness is
endowed
Two worlds brought together
By the same endeavor,
Set out to adventure
True heart’s conjecture.
Karma sure must think he’s clever
Equalize our fates forever
All unknowns are left to reside
To castles in the clouds
To the Queen of which
Happiness is
endowed

Karly D Toronto, Ontario
From the open mic nights in my hometown of Sarnia, to the cafes in Montreal, and finally to his room in Toronto. Music has always been a large part of my life. Years of acoustic jamming with friends while keeping a recorder and notebook handy has lead to my relaxing debut Raw EP "Mad Chedda". The second album "AAatFoD" instills a sense of unease in my exploratory music :) ... more
