Blood 03:03
No harbour, no armour, just passage In this house, peasantry lives lavish Best keep your pleasantries and your status Heaving structures show their hands in their madness I’m just trying to relinquish some goals Hop the fuck in, man, let’s roll Kick back, sink one, feet up on the console Clueless where or how long but I’m keeping control I don’t track depreciation; got no 5 year I don’t make money; I just drink more beer I describe my waltz midstep as I teeter I’m a side eyed, glazed, intentional leer Eyed the prize to see what I’m losing On the rind, each day I’m improving That mind I’m losing is not mine Cruising to tomorrow that comes in time Blood I wrote this down to make sure I don’t forget it Blood I wrote this down to make sure I don’t forget it (Bring the blood and we’ll bring it in plenty.) Blood I wrote this down to make sure I don’t forget it Blood I wrote this down to make sure… This isn’t progress; this is maintenance I’m not keeping pace; you don’t know what patience is I’m showing face but I’m done being gracious I’m a walking observation craving blood circulation I’m a quick dash to the exit Explaining my empty pockets Fuck it, I’ve never regret it Keep your smug look and profits Trying to create value, we’ve already got it All you know is made up, but all we see is ours Cry bloody murder at the top of the hour I’ve lost my mind, and thank god for that There’s no threshold you cross when go a little mad We’ll discuss mere existence, so politely Gaping wounds with the patch, and take two of these Patiently wait to speak and continue to bleed Might need a more drastic remedy

When that rent due When that rent due Snake bite the tail when the rent due Don't understand my place in this; I don't pretend to But play my mission and keep my symbolism simplistic so I'm not consumed by what I'm missing I'm not losing sleep, now I don't sleep Beyond the veil, I'm up off my feet Plugged in's a poor metaphor for a fearful rant I'm test subject bleeding from the implant Your children did not reject, they broke mortality If you disconnect them, you raise amputees I need my art, I need you for my poetry If we're playing it reductive, can you see me? I see myself in that reflection and I want to take a bite And I want to take a bite I see myself in that reflection and I want to take a bite And I want to take a bite Well I make art wrong; I don't speak plain Post irony and narcissism in my veins Reduce on the simmer cooked on the spark My blood thickens, clogging the heart Rigor mortis sets in, scabs see opportunity Lick lips, buy the dip of rising poverty See how they go when we disconnect the host Take their first breath on their own, only to choke We'll leave in the dust the reductive and apathetic But first, bust rhetoric that greed's in our genetics I'm sick of this shit, man we made it all up Fuck waiting to speak, man, interrupt Alright now, I'm on, I'm on And when the lights go out, I'm gone, I'm gone But they never go out, reflected in my eyes And if they do, I know it's the end of this life I'm about to never forget Be everywhere, see everything, take in the view There's no way back as we pay our debts Snake bite the tail when the rent due
