lyrics
Spit again, a thousand mistakes in the wind
Met with the face of indifference
It’s good to piss on every sense
Of evidence that I left for them
For getting a fucking acid tab
That broke my back
In ways abstract that hurt to stack
It’s such a trap
I can never turn around and laugh
I’m gonna die living a lie until a heart attack
Or a lack of giving a damn
About what life never had
Hide my trust under a mat
Just to escape the facts
I never stashed enough cash to hatch a cache
The rehashed facts that came so fast
They ruined the first batch and the last
Every day
The chosen way
It hurts my face
To smile and reveal my pain
I’m often lame
And laid up the fucking same
As golden fangs
Sitting in my spit until I strike again
My victim pure
My heart obscure
Emotions lure
The ones I like
Are often lying
Trying to be sure of themselves
Ego’s dealt hands that failed
Life’s sailed, now it’s time to feed the trail
That seems to unveil and bail on any rational tale to ease one
This is beyond hope and reason
A necessary treason
Now that I won’t sing this song
It’s too hard to follow along
I hit that gong when you get that bong
We suffer through the morning stronger tan before
When we sore into the explorer
Like Dora, we solve the crime
Making sense of the divine
Cutting through the hands of time
Eat it while you’re mine
I love you just fine
Met with the face of indifference
It’s good to piss on every sense
Of evidence that I left for them
For getting a fucking acid tab
That broke my back
In ways abstract that hurt to stack
It’s such a trap
I can never turn around and laugh
I’m gonna die living a lie until a heart attack
Or a lack of giving a damn
About what life never had
Hide my trust under a mat
Just to escape the facts
I never stashed enough cash to hatch a cache
The rehashed facts that came so fast
They ruined the first batch and the last
Every day
The chosen way
It hurts my face
To smile and reveal my pain
I’m often lame
And laid up the fucking same
As golden fangs
Sitting in my spit until I strike again
My victim pure
My heart obscure
Emotions lure
The ones I like
Are often lying
Trying to be sure of themselves
Ego’s dealt hands that failed
Life’s sailed, now it’s time to feed the trail
That seems to unveil and bail on any rational tale to ease one
This is beyond hope and reason
A necessary treason
Now that I won’t sing this song
It’s too hard to follow along
I hit that gong when you get that bong
We suffer through the morning stronger tan before
When we sore into the explorer
Like Dora, we solve the crime
Making sense of the divine
Cutting through the hands of time
Eat it while you’re mine
I love you just fine
