lyrics

Awkward, precocious, with low serotonin
We all just got caught in our own shit
We all feel fucked up or just over, let's try to get over it
When the world is a lifeboat, write raps for the motion sick

(that sound like a lot)

of tangled up bones to pick

(maybe it's a lock)

And I can't tell what the difference is

(your ribcage is open, though)

I'll be here just sorting out calamities
I only split these hairs because I share a chair with Damocles
Damn these knees, aching shoulders, spine
How much of this moment's really mine, its undefined
so you decide to chase a high or ride a vibe
into that black and bitter night
What I'm doing is unsure, I'm sure I'll do it till I die
Like chase a high or ride a vibe into that black and bitter night
What I'm doing is unsure, I'm sure I'll do it till I

Die, vibe, I'm fine

Ice in lovers' veins could cool old passions
but its all so taxing with her hands tied backward
wreaks havoc on the central nervous system displaced
or is it just a penance we pay cause we could never change ways
But we could switch up that frame and make great gains for days
Fell your muscles start to shake as your pupils dilate
can you feel me? or is this out of diegesis
If I replace all my parts, would you still call me Theseus?

If I wrote you a rap song, would you still say life is meaningless?

Because there's not enough air to let breath all my grievances

Good friend, they once told me that you reap just what you sow. So I've been sewing up these holes until the whole is all I know

Yeah, a good friend, they once told me that you reap just what you sow. So I've been sewing up these holes until I'm feeling halfway whole

a good friend, they once told me that you reap just what you sow. So I've been sewing up these goddamn holes

I would just like to say off the top, that for legal purposes, I am not nor have I ever claimed to be a rapper, bottled lightning, a 3-year-long car crash, your mother's love, the ghost of Kim Shattuck, or anything you might need but sometimes in moments of brief transcendence and clarity I can be a decent facsimile
