lyrics

If you knew the shit I said when I was talkin to myself
You would say what the hell
People tend to hide themselves from the world, like Dave Chapelle


Penning goofy stupid shit
Scooby dooby doobie shit
Lucid dude who moons the rich
super kangaroo with tricks
You may say enough with the wordplay
But if language shapes life, where else am I to turn, Fay?
rearrange my lenses relentlessly
and jiggle syllables till they bend tremendously
over and under lose meaning in outer space
and i've had to adapt to many a doubtful gaze.
my brain rings like a gong in ancient Mongolia
wackiness abounds unpolished no linoleum
bullion in my arteries, tangled in uncertainty
but I ditty through the pity, slurpin' up the burdens, b
my sermon might actually be rambling idiocy
and urgency is lost when i bramble my delivery
but i speak my peace anyway because it's soothing
maybe it could move you too like Time or Martin Luther
King string rhymes together like minds in groupthink.
jurassic iconoclast; Egyptian needs a new sphinx
Scottie Pippen on the skating rink would be less weird
Than this dude with unmatched wool socks and scraggly beard.


If you knew the shit I said when I was talkin to myself
You would say what the hell
People tend to hide themselves from the world, like Dave Chapelle


Mangy fears resurface like beluga butts
So I dangle here perched, patient like arugula
Learn to stay calm see fear as sorta lucifer
Resist nada, life seen from port of Jupiter
Ornery, goggling hornswogglers crowding at my super fence
But I renounce dragons, sorta like the Ubermensch
Splinter was living that mondo ninja turtle wisdom
While Hunter S. basked in non-subtle gonzo journalism
Too many paths like Sylvia Plath's fig tree
Might stifle me; the dizziness of being free
Kierkegaard said that's what it means to be anxious
Those too languid to vanquish anguish sometimes walk the plank quick.
Revert to blank disk. I say no thanks, Mitch.
Rather hit the dank piff float away in lank bliss.
Uneven longings but I do grow like ficuses
Might become historic like Cyprus is
One day when the Internet dies from insidious viruses
Maybe you'll find me on Wikipedia papyruses
