lyrics

False walls and trap doors I’ve been setting my sights for have just become an eyesore
It’s a bore
But I don’t mind

Dodging potholes in a fox hole
While crooks and sleepers look for assholes they can control
Advance war
King’s lore

New place
Make space
Moon faced chums jawing their own taste of fun
Mind if I try
Cuz I don’t mind

Wrangling signals like I’m Elmer Fudd
Filled up on Windex and coyote’s blood
But I don’t mind

It’s fine
Cuz I’m
Elusively confined
In space and time
Simultaneous spontaneous
A calculated risk

And I can’t take much more of this
Dragon’s hiss and the butterfly’s kiss coming at me
To kill my vanity

Stiff hands
Balled up shoulders
Trying to get a do-over
While it happens I’m guessing that we’ll miss it

Moments turn into memories
Seconds linger eternally
While it happens I’m guessing that i’ll miss it
