MC Lars - Art Of Darkness Lyrics
[MC Lars]
It's just another day in the left of an artist
Searching for truth in the rhymes that I harvest
Art is my savior, art is my crutch
Art is my breakfast, my dinner and my lunch
Acryllic's on my fingers, dripping stick and hot because
I'm so inspired, getting higher every day
Honestly these sonnets still have got a lot to say
So bring me a pen and a pad and a beat
Just one hit, one fix and I'll be free
Cause this is the land where dreams are made
Where people get robbed, and pushers get paid
The passion and blood and the faith in my veins
made everything okay when I felt it slip away
Yeah it's been a minute since I've seen the sun
Cooking lyrics in a spoon, I stop and loop the beat
There's never time to shower, socialize or eat
I pop a tab of poetry, bump another line
Metaphors get mixed, I sit back and recline
V5 rolling ball syringe, stuck it in
Cause art was the curse and the cure and the friend
Know that is true; alive when I write this
The serpent is loose and I try not to fight this
[Chorus: Sage Francis (MC Lars)]
You ain't gots to feel a low never
I'm the one out choppin wood in cold weather
The go-getters, we know better
(Art of Darkness, pokerface bettin)
(I'm the one climbin up the stairway to heaven)
(Writin poems all alone, welcome home)
[Sage Francis]
Psycho sedative, type O negative
Sick of this monotonous cycle - repetitive
Is this reality? It's like "no," then it is
Back alley white snow medicine
for the defensive addictive personality type
Showin off teeth marks to prove (Reality Bites)
As if all of y'all lack the scars to match
But death is the bitch and that dog ain't barkin back
That's just junkie speech
The only time I stop talking's when a belt's between my teeth
It's a feast for the addict, a beast of habit
sneaks to the attic and seeks the magic
that speaks back - transcribe the interviews
I begin to use and can't hide my inner views
If music was therapeutic, I'd have been fixed long ago
But this is just a song you know
[Chorus - repeat 2X]
[MC Lars]
Once upon a time, this kid had a dream
A voice and a purpose and a vision to be seen
I realized reflections of fame were but illusions
Art was the curse and the cure and solution
I met with clowns, snake charmers, publicists
Saw my name in magazines, laughin I was lovin it
My muse and I used to drive and sing along
Down the California coast, in the woods writing songs
Up in the moutains, we'd try to unplug
Away from the noise and the stresss and the drugs
But I kept finding pills in the corner of my closet
Underneath the skeletons, hid them in my pocket
Like Jack Kerouac in a Big Sur cabin
Or Alan Ginsburg, in Greenwich Village rappin
The Pantheons of Poets, visionaries drinking coffee
Sitting in the dark through the window I was watching
[Sage Francis]
Like a sniper with a rifle and a life full of debt
Tupac fell off because he didn't know the ledge
Respect the Jesus Juice like a noose around the neck
Mic cord wrapped around my arm durin the soundcheck (one one two)
Oh, you ain't gots to feel a low never
I'm the one out choppin wood in cold weather
The go-getter, and I'm lickin my chapped lips
I keep on swingin 'til the disc in my back slips
My ex called me callous - at least she called me
Pale flesh full of scabs - bad teeth from the coffee
Fat feet cause I'm portly - caffeine cause of a broken edge
When they speak high of my music it goes over my head
I'm a travellin man, with a gavel in hand
And a 12 member jury in the back of my van
Comin to a court near YOU!
I could see the rehab center filled with smoke in the rearview
I'm livin with my big money, it's my drinkin buddy
When I squander it I ponder if it ever thinks of me
When my chips are down and my bottle bottoms out
But I'm on the up and up so what the fuck's the problem 'bout?
[Chorus - repeat 2X]
[MC Lars]
In Western Australia, I saw the Southern Cross
Chasing turtles in the sea, our love paid the cost
My heartbeat erratically woke up and all I saw
were panties in my sleeping bag, a note in her bra
It said "Dear Lars we were never meant to be
Though you meant a lot to me, sending kisses in your sleep
In your sleep don't cry - remember the magic
You still own it, you will always have it
I'll send you haikus, with nothing but truth
I'll send them care of Icarus, hope they get to you"
What else could I do? I picked up the broom
Swept the pieces of my past from the corners of the room
While the beautiful people drink champagne and laugh
I just can't hold back, I just can't relax
Backsage in El Dorado, sitting with my fishing pole
In a dressing room consumed by my gang of wishing souls

Thanks for posting, my favorite line:
"Like a sniper with a rifle and a life full of debt

Exactly. I look at it like a free sampler in a grocery store, if you like what you just tried pick up the item. If you don't like it, then you're out nothing.
Respect man, that's the truth ain't it? haha
great track!

I see all these people commenting and saying they can't stop listening to this song, but youtube is only showing my views....what's up with that?
That's one of the great things about this song :) thanks for watching and listening :)
Can't stop listening to this fucking song, I turned it on and I've been writing lyrics and poetry for hours.
sage Francis is a god
@TheRealRJD they took it down on the mclars.com and the bandcamp site after it was released. But, if you want I can send it to you just find me on facebook "Ashley Elizabeth Spratt" or facebook(dot)com/jinxxii
I like this version better than the one on theactuall album where can I get it free?
@TheRynoBlast An artist allowing you to to listen to their music for free doesn't mean they don't need financial support. Attitudes like that are what is killing smaller labels. If you enjoy a musician why wouldn't you pay for their music?
Is this the version that's supposed to be on the actual album? When I bought the album off iTunes, it had the "alternate version" on it (which I like much better).
There's something wrong with youtube...it's only showing my veiws....

@johnnymfapplecore
agreed.
@johnnymfapplecore Thanks for posting!! I Love the lyrics just as much as well
"Cooking lyrics in a spoon, I stop and loot the beat. There's never time to shower, socialize or eat. I pop a tab of poetry, bump another line. Metaphors get mixed, I sit back and recline.

This is the best verse I've ever heard.
@rconary I completely agree! Thank you for enjoying my upload.
I always believe in supporting the artist :D
Alot of times albums like this are released for free.
Thank you for the upload! I'm hoping this being on the youtubes encourages a few people to buy this album; not because art should have a price tag, but, because amazing artists should be supported.
This is good man !
art of darrkness, poker face, venom im the one climbing up the stairway to heaven writing poems.....sickness.....
if music was therapuetic id a been fixed long ago,
