about

When I made this beat, I pretty much had Airospace in mind from the beginning. I'm not sure if we had talked about working together before this, but who gives a shit. I meant for it to be ironic, talking about such a serious thing in such a laid back tone. I got the idea from Streetlight Manifesto (such a good band), and Airospace tore the second verse apart. One of his lines in here pretty much sums up my way of thinking this last year of my life: "Every being is a universe being born with their planets, moons, and magnetic storms." Also, watch what you eat/drink if you want to live long.

lyrics

Lucid Optics:

Death served cold by the glasses
It's rapid action to a fraction of the masses
His life is like a chronologic madlib; he's probably going to slash wrist before getting a last wish
Fills the blanks with the bricks
Just a bunch of names on another man's list
Lies seem to derive from truth
Kind of like the day you saw god die inside of you
So here we are fading from this world now
Say we're strong and tough but knowing that it isn't long enough
I live my life as a sign holder
Even still your mind's folded over every warning that they told you and this is like the last rock tossed across the water outcasted to the bottom where the moss don't even want him
Talking thoughts like Golem
Like his mind's divided by too many whats and why did Is
White in his lies but neither eyes
Eating his demise in a wad of meat and side of fries
Only redemption is the water cup, however, it does taste a little like blood
Well, maybe if your luck's right you'll live to remember this only as a rough night
Quench thirst with a water cup
Would've tried a number if the other woman brought our stuff
Another night flying solo with anything-but-white porno echoing in the ozone
I'd rather go anywhere than go home and learn about your life even if it leads to no moans
She throws bones for me to fetch
Might let them rot forever like an unfinished sketch and remember how it really feels when I enter my temper
I'm living in ideas you can't render
I lack the language to communicate
Or maybe you created all the clouds in your reign of space
Your brain is a mangled place and shut itself down to any notion of a change of pace

Airospace:

Render, bender temperment, intricate
speak to yourself, the soul might be separate but permanent
service is - ripple effect of reflect, regret
glass breaking in your hands, blood taints what is
Taints what could've been
that mistress is a appration that you can't quite fit in
hearts are muscle, work it out to make it stronger
endurance, dexterity experience helps it last longer
see your lost, caves are you best friend
claustrophic spaces and only shadows really listen in
And I'm walking through the hollow space
Trying to connect the voices to the people to and the masks to the faces
This belief is only makeshift
five gears and first pushes the hardest
nitroglycerin, liquid cooling, pistons punching tarnished
blown cerebral like a gasket combusting in mid race
now you're falling back from the ace of spades
to another joke trying to fit the color palatte of the place
This is you - no this is the you see yourself as
runny water from a broken faucet, exhausted from jet lag
step back -
she's her own flower with thorns
and there's a reason why rams heads have horns
every being is a universe being born
with their planets moons and magenetic storms
worn torn, convoluted and apprehensive, the norm
sworn in, deformed kin, hearthits swords miss and torches
its a battle for your sanity
