lyrics

I was somewhere like post aperitif
Pre just deserts
Waving the Olive Branch
All "shouldn't we discuss it first?"
Proverbial peace talk interrupted as the musket burst
My bubble
All over your mustard shirt
While I must concur there's nothing worse than suffering in silence
I'd much prefer to come to learn to shut my fucking pie hole
But what do I know?
I was spitting pre-writtens in different time zones
Glimpsing ideas like a flickering lightbulb
Sniffing those lines I just rehearsed
I was somewhere billing up some dry backy
Unperturbed
Wide-eyed thunderbird
On a one way trip to the Underverse
Fucked up the verse
More a mumbled curse
All that dirty talk
Still ain't cum to terms
Like “fuck the world”
It's just dust and dirt
Motherfuck Mother Earth
In other words
I was somewhere rocking burnt fingers transfixed on the bug light
Potency so powerful it could interrupt the sunrise
Cascading fractals in an interstellar mud fight
Some ceremonial bloodbath
It looks to be a fun night
The older g's telling ghost stories
Just sitting around the gunfire
The young gods watch atoms
Pinging back and forth like umpires
I was somewhere in between them
Looking for a place to run
Riot
A quiet nest space just to get my head straight
While I sit and spectate in the sunshine
We found music we hated and danced all night
Locked ourselves in the hotel room
And then we laughed till we cried
It's hard to describe
Harder with time
Half of the sagas we started to write
The dramas we harbour like cards in a line
Until we move past them and cast them aside
I was somewhere acting large all Billy Big Bananas
Lagers and cartons of wine
Singing "pass me the pipe"
At the endless house party ciphers or nights in the park getting high
Can't part from the vibe
I was gardening planting a vine
In a trance on a dance floor laughably high
On a beach by a palm tree drafting a rhyme
Right here living larger than larger than life
