Incoherent as they might seem My dreams expound Inch for inch pound for pound sound on sound Tensile strength of a carbon nano tube never breaking form even when they're misconstrued It'd be crude to think that I'd consider to suggest The secrets of my trade that I'd rather not divest It's best if everyone just let it be understood The scienticians crew is working for the common good Primo Prime The Number One Concept Divided By The Number One Concept Scienticians The Number One Concept Breaking it all down The Number One Concept 131 139 149 151 Party Going On I saw an ad on public transportation Just the other day so I took down notation It was disgraceful A young male Caucasian Dressed up like a nerd Standing by a scooter Pants high, bowtie, Knee Socks, Tape on the glasses I know what trash is and this was it Smart people have a stigma to beat Mass media marketing makes it hard to defeat You think this intellectual threw up both hands and resigned? Heck no! I just tore down that stupid sign CH Prime Numbers and people who think Like I do Separate individuals all standing right beside you One existed well before the people who have tried to develop through their disciplines a lense for all to see through Most folks are products of a massive magic trick Multiples of themselves and the constructs that they fit Divide out all the excess and factors you will find- The universe and you in other words one and a prime!

Fractal Rock 04:15
Street Lab House Holmes Tight Lipped Puzzle Poems Music Math Pleasing Sound Tiny Particles Jumpa Round Right Left Brain Together Content Pinnacle Thought The Weather Aesthete Four Feet Visually Stimulating Rhythmic Movement There are fractals in our dance moves Though the pattern isn't clear They build on one another Just like Stalactites Dancin' up a frenzy And all our friends are here Everybody's Moving We're cool Molecules Hitting up the highway Heading to the studio Just say the word like Su Su Sudio Keeping all the secrets Leaking out the clues Putting words to music in the melody we choose People are composed of Many little parts Pieced together properly That's when the party starts Who's thinking? I'm Thinking Watcha thinking about? Visually Stimulating Rhythmic Movement Ch Ya know, there was once a thing I thought I'd never think again but then it came up in a conversation I had with a friend who said the thought related to a situation in his life and put it all into perspective helping him to set it right. He said, "The thing about the thought was that I never wrote it down but it existed in the world as as something waiting to be found!" And when he looked around himself and all the things that he was wanting they were tangible to be without he found it very daunting. He could never really say just when he thought the thought I gave him but he knew when he remembered it was just the thought to save him now he's happy an emotion cause the problems all have passed but they were just a concept that his brain had over-massed An Idea that I'd forgotten put perspective to the problem of my pal who'd gotten maudlin over things that never even left our minds!

Scienticians 01:39
Seeking competition and not finding it Surreptitiously deliciously I'm grinding it With the mortar and pestal My flow: anthropological Vessel Like evolution the time is near Plebians and troglodytes come here Get excommunicated, Rehabilitated, and Affiliated Now you're reinstated The new millennium usurps you all Scienticians popping up like perennials IQs 212 Cerebrum in a cylinder displayed upon the shelf Nebulous thoughts float above my intellect When I ponder them I recognize in retrospect Many notions Sailing seven seas Often time I forget the Q's and P's but no matter Egg foo Young, Pickled tongue and Poo Poo Platter Keep me satiated My duty to society I'm obligated Scienticians spreading the word Word! Back in middle school they called me a nerd I was chided misguided undecided I was slighted Hall monitor and chess club never invited But now the year 2000.8 Novice intellectuals receive a clean slate

Virtuosic Membranes Permeated by Osmosis Crunchy Bread From a Box with Hot Filaments That's What Toast Is My Breath Contains Particles of Stomach Acid Halitosis Pink Rhomboid Paper Plied With Adhesive That's a Post-It Mathmatics is a rhyme scheme time themed jargon Spewed forth from its purveyor a surveyor past the margin See the world in Fractals spinning endlessly in synch Hyperbolic Thinking is more useful than you think Sink Deeper in Thought and come out the other end Now the Food for thought you're fed ended up a fecal friend The stink of dead ideas processed thoroughly in head Mind the gap in your own logic reconsider it instead All the lectures, the experiments, the papers that you read and in the end you realize that there's nothing to be said CH There's time and there's space and the dimensions in between But all that we can hope to do is keep our noses clean Our cochleas keep throbbing and the soundwaves are unseen But put a piece of cheese down there You'll find out what I mean Man or Mouse? Flea or Louse? I found an itch that I can't scratch My brain has eggs of schemes that unproportioned it can't hatch But what's the harm in that? Ineffectual it may be Perhaps you've never met an intellectual like me I the acme paradox braggart if you will But ninth nerves often translate what I'm saying like a pill So ill it's intravenous So sick it's like a dog Wanna figure out my origins? You'll have to take the Log CH When I Throw a party Host with the Mostess Around this time of year My allergies are ferocious You win Horseshoes and Bocce Ball When you're the closest Supercallafragalistic Expialadocious Gallus Domesticut Tastes best when it's roasted The ingredients in a twinkie can be used to make a bomb Sue Hostess If you're having trouble following me Go listen to some slow shit.

Smile Now I've been working on my style for awhile now I sit back with a bottle of Tsing Tao and think how Going to the beach could be nice! I would bring towels to Lie on I drive my Scion 85 KPH I zip by I move forward When you wish Upon A Ball of gas undergoing nuclear fusion viewed from millions of miles twinkle twinkle Wishes dreams hope and aspirations Told to a vision dead for generations The nurture of man encoded in our genes Incrementilectually evolving But I fear that all the changes are to subtle to be seen and unless they're in perspective we can't find out what they mean Now the subject is surveyor with no distance in between and the wishes that we make all seem like nothing more than dreams But we keep on Trying To find a pattern in the pattern in which we are a part CH Like the future meeting the past now now Now is the summation of the wishes of the past The people who have come and gone The ideas they amassed Once cast to the sky which is why we imagine a vastness above us that no man can fathom The brain needs inspiration a flirtation with unknowns And the world will keep on spinning turning rocks backl into stones Me I sip my beverage while I sit upon the sand and wonder where the thoughts I think eventually will land Twinkle Twinkle Hope Hope Grow Grow You Define The Course The Human Race Will Follow

Illiant 02:43
It's not just brilliant it's Illiant Scienticians the Apex of Sane Everybody Knows that Everybody Knows that Everybody Knows that Everybody Knows Keep your mind clear So my ideas adhere Multiply there Weigh this Don't forget the Scale Tare Advancement A progression marching forth In accordance with the doctrines of our field we check the worth Is it worth it? To make the changes that we seek The peak of progress moves perpetually upwards every week Plastics Luggage personally packaged pies Laptops ear buds the objects we devise Nanotechnology And a tower to the sky Lasers in the atmosphere and overseeing eye Packing Peanuts Are fun with which to play How many coffee cups you think get thrown out everyday? CH Scienticians Illiant Apex of Sane AproPro lyrics that wrap round your brain middle game I'm planning plotting new terrain I speeding superhighway through the ether Neither past nor future denominates the now No individual event predominates the now Every single occurence recombinates us, how? A genome predisposed to reproduction! Rhinoceri, Octopi, Platypi, and Walri in order to pluralize the us you need an I That's where it starts At the heart. Without love there is no way Philanthropize yourself and love life almost everyday!
