lyrics

What’s really sacred is forsaken
Mistaking a fable for nature
We’re clever enough to form deforested warnings on paper
She wanna come back later but the future’s looking just about as tangible as prayers
The animals are scared

As a boy I used to look after the bears with ankles bloody and mangled
Untangle em from the snares

But I lost one
Claws in his own esophagus
It was either confinement or a final goodnight

And I can only help so much before my own health won’t hold up
I need to find a…
Slug said it first
Trying to find the middle ground
But I can’t tell if goblins are mirages or really around

Music took my mind and buried it
Left me with a chariot between a parrot’s wings
Daring to give a fuck... although barely
Maybe esoteric
Wearing hysteria, like, apparently

Am I obvious or fatherly?
Failure doesn’t bother me
Somehow through rhyming I devised my own divine scheme to ride and meet the demons in the street
Treat em fairly so they won’t be impaired and terribly scary


I’ve seen too much this year
I need to close my eyes and ears for one day
Ride my chariot just one way

I’ve heard too much this year
I need to close my eyes and ears for one day
Been trippin about your trip to someday

You woulda been there anyway some day
