lyrics

There is a lizard at the base of my skull
Spitting raspberries, wolf-whistles, and catcalls
“Her over there, my man. Let your mind wander.”
Under the tree, pillars fall and the snake will conquer
Trying to loosen
Cycles, excuses
Don’t fall

The demons come calling whenever her body awakens the reptile
Oh, he’s feeling so naughty
Whispering, slithering
My mind becomes a room with a bed
Trust is dead
My love is a tomb
Getting to the root
Reaching for the fruit
Don’t fall

HOW CAN I AWAKE WHEN MY HEAD ACHES?
HOW CAN I AWAKE WITH THIS HEADACHE?

The dinosaur in me rears its head with a roar
But I’m not so sure that this is fun anymore
In the moment, I appease evolution inside me
I am no Socrates but is this who I choose to be?
Grasping at beyond
Still doing all this wrong
Don’t fall

I am but flesh and blood
I am just floating dust

There is still so far to go, based on my weak will and the current show that plays out everywhere I look; please, let me out of this goddamn book. There is still so much to learn. Heaven, I will someday return but for now I’m digging my place here between my eyebrows and Nahash’s leer.
Give up
Put the shovel down
Get stuck
Let the loops get loud
Hold up
Sit out on your fear
Get fucked
Let the darkness steer
