But It Finally Came

lyrics

Help me out i’ve fallen down,
an undergrad who’s underground
who’s undecided on just how
i plan to get around and round
and heavy lies the cape and cowl
that covers up my bloody scowl
punching above my weight to drown
out all the rage and hate and gouge
the eyes of satan’s playmates
who place temptations that we taste
And ask for favors of flavors
and savor the juice of all the fruits
Use them as tools for our improvement
And reap the knowledge we produce
As we convert and turn the womb
Generate plumage we assume will
Fossilize the progress I make to take what is fake and make or break it in
hostile territory.
impossible factoried stories tooth fairies
and easter bunnies feel normal and change forms
complete and submit
all the verses I spit and redetermine whats written
in the stone or in pen
pencil or ink or in print
digital or physical
manifestations of metaphysicists
visit me in my dreams and tell me of the hell that I am living in

the heaven I am living for
the sweat that I am dripping attempting to bring it down to earth
Will flood it for bout 40 so noah had better jordi la forge
his ark and board it before the storm is abhorrent
A torrent of natural forces
Mistaken for isolation
A punishment to come of our misguided idolations
My mind is racing, remaining
in first place, i’m the greatest
Until i realize that im just a kid on a plane
On a return flight leaving cambridge
Heading over to LA, flying to LA
Beat on repeat while I listen to what it says
It rewinds and i let it play
My night turns into day

i need to get to sleep and shut the lids on my eyes
but i’ve got a cup full of caffeine that insists otherwise
and my bags are full of life, or so i’ve surmised
haven’t quite figured out what makes me alive
but all i know is that this is the best damn cold brew i’ve ever consumed
and it’s giving me the strength to fight my way back to you
and when it kicks into my system and the plane touches the ground
it’s the most wonderful sound
it's been a long time coming but it finally came
salivating, spitting out the most acidic of rain
second guessing the philosophy that we contemplate
and just how it all applies to our limitless rage
its been a long time coming but it finally came
salivating, spitting out the most acidic of rain
second guessing the philosophy that we contemplate
And how i let it eat it most of my age
