lyrics

(V1)

Move the planchette, no head spaced for antics, moth balled the philosophy with a mouth full of theatrics.
BUT WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO?
Nowadays I’m not sure, most of the time it’s all me, and other days it’s Ouija boards.
I’m not a hush, at worst case I’m tantrums. These walls are sturdy, fortified.
BUT CAN YOU REALLY SPOT THE PATTERNS?
It doesn’t matter. Once the engine purrs it’s over kids. Here I stand, not a ghost but I can’t seem to comfort it.
Stuck in daydreams, laid down I’m pillow headed, cloudy minded, red eyes, a system full of Sudafed.
But that’s what it’s like when you’re gone or simply out of it. Hands down or hands clutched, and older than the alphabet.

(Hook)
But am I doing this right? Should I quit and move on? Should I pack up my things? Or keep singing these songs? Am I doing this right? Or am I doing this wrong? Should I walk against the wind? Or keep singing the songs?

(V2)

Am I doing this right? Do my needs count? Am I any less of a man if I don’t speak out?
I’ll tell you the truth right now because I’m obligated. Some lust while others love and that’s why we congregated.
A little flesh on flesh, we called it sex. One filled the void while the other tried to connect. And that’s where I failed, because fucking skews reality. I’m laying in the witch grass, I’m a cult of personality.
SO WHAT DO YOU DO?
Nothing much, I guess I play the hand I asked for. Rebounding like I’m Jokic, finding ways to clean the backboard.
No need to panic watching nature take advantage. Even though we picked abortion, nature forced the miscarriage.
I can’t help it I’m still filled with guilt. I’m extremely pro choice even as the blood spilled.
But that’s life and I still love & dream about it. It’s made me who I am and I can’t seem to live without it.
I’m not a father & nor do I wanna be, I’m entirely too selfish and that’s putting it cautiously.
The rest fled, no jest, I rest in bed, God bless until I’m dead, or face justice like Judge Dredd. So.

(Hook) (2x)
