lyrics

“oh my goodness these stairs make a lot of sound”

inkline
yea…yea…mmm
uhh idiosyncratically crafting another masterpiece / duck and dodging demons that always seem to be after me / bob and weave off the tree bon appétit /
always twice as hungry than what you’re probably imagining / yea (yea) yea Wanda with the Mind Stone / this that kinda power you cowards can’t put price on / i’ll dissolve it all and call it a day go right home / snakes in your head
bite the apple off your iphone / i’m known to dabble do my damage on the mic-phone / do a dab then do some magick in the right zone / death is but a transition when the light’s blown / dealing with the in-between ‘till the poltergeist gone / no-show ghosts under the stairs / no one cares either under-prepared or don’t go there / boil bones
charge stones and make homes there /
you cross the goat and get turned into a toad there

hook
back from the dead again
roll away the stone
maybe find my head again
if i only make it home
nothing’s ever simple
but you know when in Rome
at the candlelight vigil
got a sigil made of bones
back from the dead again
roll away the stone (roll away the stone)
maybe find my head again
if i only make it home (if i only make it home)
nothing’s ever simple
but you know when in Rome
at the candlelight vigil
got a sigil made of bones

ichiban
Infiltrate the throne cast spells on a Maxell
guillotine illusion disappeared from where the ax fell
Playing tricks on what the ocular sees
The sorcery of a strange doctor indeed
A large sigil seen thru a dark crystal
Unloaded an arsenal of smart riddles
An alchemist with a microphone as a talisman
Stuck in the same wonderland that they put Alice in
Hidden gardens dig deeper in the rabbit hole
Grab ahold the experience is magical
Spit truth in the booth a mystical ritual
A repeat offender the vivid flow habitual
Witches brew poured into a Dixie cup
Mix it up with a little pinch of pixie dust
Embellish the relics and enrich the lingo
All the while angels and demons mix and mingle

hook
back from the dead again
roll away the stone (roll away the stone)
maybe find my head again
if i only make it home (if ionly make it home)
nothing’s ever simple
but you know when in Rome
at the candlelight vigil
got a sigil made of bones
back from the dead again
roll away the stone (roll away the stone)
maybe find my head again
if i only make it home (if i only make it home)
nothing’s ever simple
but you know when in Rome
at the candlelight vigil
got a sigil made of bones yea


“you’re not buggin’ you’re not losing your mind. a lot of people wanna make you feel like you’re crazy you know what i’m saying? people will make it seem like you’re over exaggerating, you’re buggin’ what made you think that?”

adj.
Fuck what you might think
I spit this shit so real, I make this mic stink
Monkey around profound gorilla hijinks
and when I come through your town I'm stealing smiles, winks

Ego Yao Ming in stature
Raised by the back scratcher
Paid it back faster
Cause I ain't had no interest in the bastard

Similar in stature
knack for disaster and fuse length
But am I him? Nope, I am knot
Like a shoestring

Not a new thing, but the work never stops
when I word clever thoughts
into mazes that I barely trace back
Whoever said it better, you could bet they never rapped

So as we're standing on the edge looking over at extinction
waiting on erosion to take the burden of breathing
Observe the seasons, act accordingly, get your shit right
'Cause this gon be something that we have never even-
