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
