lyrics

If my savior was a glacier
I wouldn’t hold my breath with paper weighters
Vapors blur safety words into pain n anger
Crate train em and bank em in a plane that never left the hangar
Aphrodite in centerfolds
Appetite of a wendigo
Patricide on a sundial
Cannonize the Apocrypha
Asinine as a thumbnail
Pantomime the anomolous
Dragonfire on the gunwales
Malachite in the pocketbook
Alibi for the blood spilt
Maximizing the aquifer
Dataminin the mud shale
Labyrinth inside a polymer

This is straightjacket calculus
Im a wastebasket alchemist
Paybacks a counterfeit
Ain’ t that about a bitch
This is straightjacket calculus
Im a wastebasket alchemist
Way past the outer edge
Stay back im out of it

Brakepads build patience
Stained glass in a still stasis
Race track whale chasin’ll Get ya
Ahab’d in a krill blanket
Pack the pipe full of ambergris
Acolyte of the macro lens
Saccharides are my nanotech
Granite eyes of a basilisk
Lazy eyed speak the circumference is undetected
In a game of minesweeper with nothin but lucky 7s
A Nascent mind reader I’ll butter up the collective
But my stay alive meters humongously un-effective
Anchor my ideas in acres of pine needles
And lace em with dyneema the betas a tight sequence
A plaintiff of high leisure and hovery rubbernecking
Omega the live feature of buffering all conventions

This is straightjacket calculus
I’m a wastebasket alchemist
Paybacks a counterfeit
Aint that about a
This is straightjacket calculus
Im a wastebasket alchemist
Way past the outer edge
Stay back im out of it

Too out of shape to levitate the stairway to heavens gate
Tryna excavate a better way
There’s a gap growing
In my soul where Im back hoeing
And I can show you the ropes around that hole I’m lassoeing
John Wayne cosplay Flambe’d crawlspace
Crossfade all day
from enclave to enclave
Over Bronze Age saw waves
Swan lake Ariana grande on skates
Verses the get off of my lawn face
Id rather See an autobahn dogleg
Then hear a monologue from Soccermom yaweh
Stargaze opera at a Gondola soiree
Baclava bombay and Otter pop entrees
You’da thought it was hakuna matata in the shark tank
These Apostles ain’t wearin balaclavas cause their artsy

This is straightjacket calculus
I’m a wastebasket alchemist
Paybacks a counterfeit
Aint that about a
This is straightjacket calculus
Im a wastebasket alchemist
Way past the outer edge
Stay back im out of it
