lyrics

and when I'm slow forever, i'll die slow;
I think you might be hiding from that in your greenhouse, no ?
Wrap me in glass that hasn't broken yet, i'm living, growing fast— up and out
I wrote a few leaves that have yet to touch the glass
little rustles can't be heard looking outside in, even with ears pressed fast—

Oh god, I was one space ahead of all my other lines
V-I you've got me fucked and chained to one way to write
I'm not joking around; this is a way to make a living see
Fighting what everyone else does just cause it's done differently

skill set pulled back for another failed grade
raise my hand through a puppet mouth and finally say
it's a living joke -- don't even know someone half broke
swimming in the spit of my peers; finally open my eyes I see the drowning folks
Im laughing at the gist that this isn't a pool so much as a cleverly masked pit,


my heart picks up the recently boarded bro scent
prowling boys with real estate affairs and concurrent school events
save me 10 grand on my almost executed city-shack cookie-cutter investment
oh my god! after you pick up, call me, here's my number, let's talk easy rent.

I think I'll have to crank up the jams, for my little heart
skips a beat at the thought - rubbing gum in your hair
no stomach for it, no the saliva to part
maybe take my peeling finger nails; I'll find some to spare
peeling back myself in half and laugh and listen all the way home
you're mouth and your money kissing keep my tired head turning slow

maybe I'm the enemy with you guys though, maybe I haven't thought this through
i'll make you coffee when we wake up in the morning, trouble free, did you say?
you bring the pepper to a life of soupy post-evolution pre extinction stew
yesteryear feels old, but a fortnight or a moon is nothing to living day to day boo.
