Let me put this down

I’ve been throwing horseshoes and hand grenades blindfolded
I’ve been breaking moulds and rolling down the hill
Making mountains, not paying bills
Keep running; can’t sit still
Let me cradle this explosive
Let me cradle this explosive
And see if this cranium will give
Let me cradle this explosive

Up a creek I’ll see what sticksmoulds
I made something that did not exist
A subpar linguistic trying to speak his shit
Written in stone and hope it skips
So I’ve been building up river beds
Flowing scarlet with what I’ve bled
But for what, I lie in bed
Scared shitless I said nothing that I meant

Let me cradle this explosive
Let me cradle this explosive
And see if this cranium will give
Let me cradle this explosive

As my last and final act, I light the fuse
Forces of physics only tell the truth
Walls caked in what makes me up
Skin, blood and poets depressing woeful blues
Let it dry behind a rope and sleeping guard
Light it up and call it art
Let the kids throw campbells best
So my plaque can read, ‘yes, he played his part’
Let this be a canvas to spill it
Take what’s me, and build from it
Might not be a masterpiece
But believe splatter technique has got some merit
Connect some dots while I relinquish
Creative control of my depiction
Find your own meaning in bloody drips
As my pen drops when tighten my grip

Let me cradle this explosive
Let me cradle this explosive
And see if this cranium will give
Let me cradle this explosive

Dust off the knuckle bones, take to the yard
Might find more use in my body torn apart
Little tools & trinkets, same inside you
Where the bones fall is where you are
Where you are
Where you are

Off lot screaming
Down less travelled
Bones in back, maps scrapped, speed barrelin’
Without tight grip, havens the same
I’m going where I’m going, man
drifting the lane
In the passenger, same as ticking in my skull
Explosive ready to blow the hull
Fuck my name, pick scattered remains
I’ll still be whistling, fanning the flames
I’m good, I’m good right here
Wait, let me write that down
I’m good
I’m good right here

Let me cradle this explosive
Let me cradle this explosive
And see if this cranium will give
Let me cradle this explosive
