lyrics

Drawing faces on the glass, the foggy windowpane collapses in a pattern
It's a fractal map
Topological designs, seven bridges, contradictions, didn't matter
It's a left hand dap
Charismatic to the bone, he couldn't bear to be alone, after all the idle chatter
And the slow claps
As his head lands in his hands to ruminate on their demands and the refrain of:
"Swing batter!"

He creeps into the night, heaps of receipts in his wallet
Salt and peppered temples with a laundry list of causes
Genteel inscribed on both his eyes, bereft and alone
Stokes a fire of sieved desires, wearing a cone

And it's over like a thunderstorm
But the beat still slaps
Across the cold blue sky, over the vast expanse and pitter patter
Of a pale Midwestern knack
His colors bleeding over lines, established effort over time, watch the roaches scatter
Hear knuckles crack
Taking stock of the divine, utilized allotted time, I've got just enough to climb
This ladder

He creeps into the night, heaps of receipts in his wallet
Salt and peppered temples with a laundry list of causes
Genteel inscribed on both his eyes, bereft and alone
Stokes a fire of sieved desires, wearing a cone

And now we're here
Because it's nothing like an oath of fealty sworn, hand on a bible
I've faith enough to cast them both into the street
But, straight lines that separate object from intention
Become the knots that twist and lie

They said I'd be brave, proud, and free
Yeah killing machines fly high over me

I'm out

Its incremental regalia, cut down from the frozen root
There's a line i can try but, its a one way ticket, a feedback loop
Prime arrives in the morning, out there its probably booming now, but i dont mind

They said I'd be brave, proud, and free
Yeah killing machines fly high over me
They said I'd be brave, proud, and free
Yeah killing machines drive down chosen streets
