lyrics

Staring at my reflection across the ocean with this
Cloak and dagger all that’s bleak is rather cogent
I think I need a spokesman, a priest, a rabbi
Mallam, I feel patronized my brain is scattered half of it was sacrificed
To worry of a status in this temporary callous time
To babble I was damn obliged to listen to and sample mind
You, ugliest in gaggle flights, but still I rise to Saturn heights
Through atmospheric pressure withered, got me down and saddened, why
So rigmarole and precise, the metronome of my life
Set in stone vessels lower levels carved to stalagmites
Seeking out a flash of light, this wasn’t a train
But the rain drops glistening to put out the flames
That arranged around the impetus surrounding my brain
To take away any chance I ever had of being canonized
It’s all facsimile, divinity don’t interest me
Principally through tomes scoured half away in indices
Through different siege, I hope acts of man don’t really count
For your sake and for the history and its lineage of mimicry
Followers delivered eating shit like human centipedes
And leprosy today is just to have the nuts to disagree
If you’re not hellbound afraid we can’t associate
Procreate, it’ll fuck you up, I’ve given vocal space
For 20 years some months okay I think I’m fit to go today
No I’ll wait, I always do, lose it justly float away
Won’t be saved, this cynic can’t split paths like Donnie Darko
I prefer my life be lived as if I will not die tomorrow
Tryna find a star glow in a past life I’d recall so
From hell up to Toronto, express delivered as cargo
I'm addicted to breathing, only reason I won’t grab the knife
Slash then slice, that and I do not believe in afterlives
It’s an easy solution, if there’s one thing that I knew well it’s
That, easy solutions usually had me looking stupid
A long process to start unhinging the screws
But do what you gotta do the only one willing is you
To be, timid you’ll lose, hard work ain’t for the fools
Not the type to see success and think it’s gotta be the shoes

It's gotta be the shoes
It's God or be the shoes
It's gotta be the shoes
It's God or be the shoes
It's gotta be the shoes
It's God or be the shoes
It's gotta be the shoes
It's God or be the shoes
It's gotta be the shoes
It's God or be the shoes
It's gotta be the shoes
It's God or be the shoes
It's gotta be the shoes
It's God or be the shoes
It's gotta be the shoes
{Wow how cavalier, if I only had a pair
I would blast up in the air, and then I’d find my balance there}

Your…silence is golden, more…patience is wisdom
Forced to lie in the doldrums, if you’re braced for the ending
Lies built upon em, the Earth, don’t gaze with the vision
They’ve compiled, propaganda's worked every millennium
From a child, fairy tales I was told had gone with logic
So I’ve built every belief of my life since then upon this
Experience in concert with faith, yes, that I’ve got it
But it’s faith in myself, the only organism honest
With me in my realm of control, my head’s in the scrolls
I believe the lessons told were meant to strengthen us all
And that don’t mean that I’m against something if I am not for it
But I’m against it every second that the people are harmed
Conclusion’s quickly are wrought, before the judgment bring thought…NOPE


I am but a speckle in the universe, ineptitude will do you worst
Super serfs shooting for forgiveness from a voodoo curse
The brutes usurp in names of those who never even knew you were
When you’ve got it all you die, I’m happily a student first
It is clear and suspenseful this ain’t, writ with a pencil
It’s a permanent determinacy, live incremental
When you slip, just reflect and then you simply progress yo
In the spirit the mental, dog, it’s here in your temple
