Deep in the soil of the forgotten

Deep in the soil of the forgotten (with Carla)

I've buried you deep


Deep in the soil of the forgotten


I'd rather not think of the bad memories


I'd rather not dwell on something I one day called "Love"


I'd rather keep you buried


Beneath flourishing hope that one day there's more to life then dishonesty


Beautiful flowers will one day prove you wrong


Their beauty will steal your spotlight


Because all you're worth is lower than dirt.


So I've buried you deep


Deep in the soil of the forgotten


Because you're not even worth a simple memory.



Pain cascades down my face disguised as tears

Your memories bead up and trickle down my memory

Deep in the soil of the forgotten you have been laid to rest

All of the empty promises are in this hollowed heart

Emptied out from the “love” you gave to me

Or was that the heartache you placed on me

You’re not worth a flash back

In reality you are a terrible case of déjà vu

While I battle and fight back a desire to feel bad for you

I’ve buried you deep in a 6 by 6 that houses your 5 foot frame

Custom made with the shattered pieces of my essence

You did this to me and I’ve let your rancid memories go

Pain cascades down my face disguised as tears

I placed you deep in the soil of the forgotten

Forgotten as I pack the dirt of your memories around your grave

Because you’re not worth remembering



An Akili Carter original"

Wishes and airplanes and stuff (in honor of Belkin)

I know you could really use a wish right now


There are only so many ways to write that you a worried about someone

So I’m taking the opportunity to make a wish on a four leaf clover for you

I wish that you weren’t sick because it sits on my psyche

Knowing that you need a wish right now

I wish that the doctors could have a magical cure for you

That you could take and all of your ailments would be gone

Then I wish the doc had a magic wand to bop you over the head with

That would make all of your other concerns float away

I don’t know why they want airplanes in the night sky to be shooting stars

But I’d like for the sky to be full of first stars

So you could make a wish and feel a million times better

I know you’d wish to be put on an airplane going to some place nice and quiet

Then I’d give you a magic genie so that you could make three wishes

And we could go back in time and have you make the right choice

Choose to walk away from the needle and embrace something else

All of the tears in your heart and head would be evaporated

Those people would never have hurt you and would show you the love you need

I really need a wish right now, and that wish would be to help you
