","here's the crux of the cameraman
buried deep in his master plan
here's a format becoming defunct
a bunch of tapes on a ship that sunk
electric outlet in a public place
so new rappers get to show their face
if you're human and you're feeling displaced
we've got news for you it's the kind
that makes you shake in your boots
and crumble down to the floor
Tommy Beta with his life on pause
his college thesis stored in his parents garage
are you into the olive branch? (are you, Tommy?)
or shooting arrows in an American trance
list your prescriptions on your resume
and polish bullets saved for our prey
add sinking feelings and we'll call it a day
I wear a mask to sleep and it's old and it's made
of clay and I have no idea why I do that
if you're guilty of some heinous crime
I'll write your defense down in metered rhyme
we'll make believe we got it right this time
I've got news for you and me and him and her and us
and everything's crumbling and rotting away
but I'm content to sit here and watch it all happen
with you

","it's the memory you let go
not the stimuli of the ghost
injecting opera, in the corridor
of the queen's latest estate
and so you slip on past the bazaar
troubles d.o.a. thus far
“I'm not so criminal
in a cathedral”
you remark as the blimps fade away
“is this an epilogue?” doc asks
while the nurses 5 float past
“we'd like to regulate
but not aggravate
and bring this dance to a close”
and while you sit and think about that
something invisible falls flat
and we'll not know today
what it had to say
but I'm sure it'll be back

","I can see you in my telescope
that punctures time like a needle through paper
you’re washing dishes during the civil war
as your husband’s stabbing your dad
they never met so it’s not even realized
how heavy truly the moment
and in the present in a shopping line
my sugar refuses to scan
oh, the time has come
to crash right through the gates of ivory towers
we must find a way
to topple all the thrones
you were right this light it comes from the night
and takes the shame out of being so latent
everything that’s been scheduled for you
you call random and sleep through the days
so you invest in every angle and hinge
hoping there’s something to swing from or hide in
but now there’s nothing but a precipice
and an old song to sing through the night
oh, the time has come
to crash right through the gates of ivory towers
we must find a way
to topple all the thrones
oh the time has come!
oh the time has come!
can we quake these tectonic plates?
would it shake the street that you live on?
portraits tumble to the hardwood floor
leaving dents and impressions of me
I fall asleep on an empty highway
as my truck crashes into the woodlands
my feet are caught but I reach the flare gun
shoot it off but it’s the 4th of July
Well I paced for some duration
And the sum of the steps left us scarred
With a trap door heart and an X-Ray head, we depart
Now there’s no such thing as sleeping
And there’s no such thing as the past
The dares from the crowd
Were spoken out loud
And that’s that
What is this world?
What is this world?
Now let’s walk through the next few moments
With the caution and care of a fawn
Like paper mache if you’re poetic that way
But you’re not
What is this world?
What is this world?

Meet my wife
we’re as thick as thieves
we’ve been up for days
now we’re on our knees
Watch your back
we’re not alone
we’re coming to
in a domestic zone
in a domestic zone
Let’s slow down
this violent pace
put the tv on
watch a famous face
Watch your back
we’re not alone
we’re coming to
in a domestic zone
in a domestic zone
Tap the phone
break the locks
curse this house
stop the clocks
Watch your back
we’re not alone
we’re coming to
in a domestic zone
in a domestic zone
I should have scattered my private life
like a magazine in the trees
got tangled in telemarketing
dialed homesteads, look at these
it's a wow, i'm on fire, it's amazing so bring it to me
I couldn't suspend my disbelief
or invest in foreshadowing
unreliable narrators in my bed
how will they describe how I sleep?
“through the night / he lays bare
in the morning he's not even here”
it is what it is but it's not what we thought
I passed through the mirror to see
I passed through the mirror to see
I converted atoms to bees
I pulled on the forces in threes
But I left out that part of the dream
it's a wow, i'm on fire, it's amazing so bring it to me

I know you sent the message over twice
this is the way the old gods entice
it still floors me
it still floors me
Sometimes I did drugs I found on the floor
kept the search on point evermore
pounding out words on a door
it still floors me
it still floors me
when you solve the mystery you become one yourself
as you sink into everyone else
you ask, “is this how it feels to be you?”
it still floors me
it still floors me
confused by classics / mistaken for miracles
I was trying to read myself my rights
I was trying to embrace endless nights
it still floors me
it still floors me
it still floors me
it still floors me
time travel is real
but there’s a price you pay
I came back to check out
the places you stayed
there’s something in the water that’s driving us out of minds
this only counts if I stay alive
I know that Karen’s on our side
it still floors me
it still floors me
you’re only harmless when you’re asleep
and darling you’re never asleep
and darling you’re never asleep
and darling you’re never asleep
it still floors me
break light / all night / try to go out of your mind
it still floors me
somebody nobody knew: that’s me
it still floors me
