lyrics

“i want to be dead with my friends”

“would you say that the individual may even have more than two personas? in other words..would he probably uhh —“

“(inaudible: yes?) we can’t afford two or more but there are.”

inkline v1
young seeker peers thru the tinted looking glass / fabric of reality dismantling he’s pushing back / behind the veil still tend to walk a crooked path / breadcrumb trail machine elves in a Wookiee mask / we’re all whales in a bubble bath / what the hell ahh well he’s a troubled lad / aye please don’t make me have double back / can’t count the pounds when you drown where the trouble at / wet socks from the puddle splash / god hooked it up with dry clothes and some bubble hash / a mezcal flask from his mother’s stash / and a bunch of dead white men in a money bag / haha it’s funny sad punchlines full of despair / sidestep one-time tryna get spared / no sunshine when it’s gone he sits there / on the dark side of nature boy young Ric flair

inkline v2
emotional response to the trauma (yea) /
black it out until he’s mapping out a new persona (new persona) / nah i ain’t backing out i’m moving onward (uhh) / after school of thought shark maneuver thru piranhas (smooth mover) / no Tijuana tourists get the silent treatment (yea yea) / cold shoulders from the locals in their private eden (yea yea) / all snakes in the garden probably die in treatment / he overshot the moon ibogaine defined the meaning / day one clean slate with a clean break / kaleidoscope dreamscape all seems fake / in actuality realer than reality stranger than fiction / legs twitching as his knees shake / yea consumed by the doom feel a boom heart beat bass / picking thru the pieces of his keepsakes / stash trauma in a lockbox to keep safe / watch past lives in a loop stuck on replay
