Lyrics

[Verse 1] Vampires, inchworms, campfires, left turns I've been tryna learn the things that no man can teach you Pharaohs, monarchs, figureheads and false starts Built a bond of vigilance that no man can reach Cyanide simplified, humility homogenized Delighting in the swan dive so take me to the beach The passion of the crucifix, unmasking your uselessness Basking in the latency that takes me to the brink Tone-deaf but listening, smooth stones to philistines From the sling I bring, it's open to those who think Bearded lady complex, sleep until you're conscious The context is based upon the sheering of the sheep Manipulated blindfolds can see the fear that time holds Conceding to the wishing well, we all should take a drink Sit and watch the climate change Melt away the science of the game Take a chance and get to dancing in the streets Lost in translation, a broken transmission The addiction to patients is based upon instinct Nicknames and outliers, chain-gangs, nail biters A spoon full of sugar and the recipe's complete Ink escapes the quill tip, ceilings don't exist The solar system is my pool hall I'm chalking up my stick to give defeat, I'm not a savior And I am not a crook, in fact I wanna be your neighbor so let's build and share the labor like that (I'm jumping off a cliff, you wanna come with?) (Let's fly!) [Verse 2] Vagabonds of luxury utterly draped in subtlety Muttering madness bubbling from the depths of burning coals Dodging sentinel tentacles hobble to pinnacle flashing the dimples Mocking minstrels with the cries of burning souls Hacking the planet, take it for granted, the standard's damaged A candid cracking of a smile as good as gold Shattering laughter afterword gather among the unsung masters unheard and I'm as good as sold Chill victory over the rocks spill infamy instantly shock the orthodoxy with a moxie I control Each thesis vanguard the hard chard and pieces increasing the legend heaven holds the speeches I unfold The space-time continuum listens only when you watch your watch stop ticking to thank you angels glisten in the snow Origami hobby creases probably got me thinking godly oddly I plant dreams and it seems tsunamis grow Telegraph the punch I sip to quench the thirst then dip the ship has sailed beyond the conscious walls the goblins know What a piece of work is man, Earth and sand sculpted by the hands of the Sun and the wingspan of a rainbow Hollow shell ego echoes empty but you follow well Prone to fail rebellion you can tell him by the smell so I am not a savior, no I am not a crook In fact I wanna be your neighbor so let's build and share the labor and I'm gone
