lirik lagu 137 (us) - the pen

had an uncle of mine tell me
after a day of drunken revelry
that all my mind was naught
’cause intelligence would never save me
from the horrors of the world
that all my smarts would never keep my path from being twirled
or my flag from being furled

that is acrid truth
though i gulp it by the ladle
knowing fate forsooth
scribed it down afore my cradle

i just got a pen
’cause that is what he assigned me
what a jarring pen
filled with snakes and ghouls and dark’s glee

i have found no refuge here
my heart ensconces in my chest
no greater chasm can it hide
from all the things my bones detest

hunger works to keep me vital
weariness to me beseeches
“please do languish, do be idle”
are some things that creature preaches
but you can’t spell languish
without anguish
know you can’t spell languor
without angor
i’m divorced from sublunary
but my alimony’s missing
build myself a phrontistery
call me if some bones go missing
using souls for the lamps
brightening the darkness
that’s what i mean when i say
that i’m building an art community on starkness

pulling lever
only dam that i truly give’s for the sake of the building beaver
‘spite the weather
putting up with the levels and the speed and the cold of river

sicker than a patient
i’m not sick of being patient
i’m an alligator, i don’t wait for prey’s accommodation
nor do i complain when i must wait for lunch’s presentation
never need to get down on my knees to pray for motivation

“i think
you are
a little nice
for poetry
don’t sink
too far
beneath the ice
in frozen sea”
that is acrid truth
though i gulp it by the ladle
knowing fate forsooth
scribed it down afore my cradle

i just got a pen
’cause that is what he assigned me
what a jarring pen
filled with snakes and ghouls and dark’s glee

lo siento en todos mis huesos
habla conmigo si tienes los besos
de la criatura de la pluma
life is more than gathering pesos
whether you pray to zeus or jesus
it’s my honest understanding
that achieving on this plane won’t result in a better standing

think a little bigger knowing everything can burn
and take a little bit of venom as a condiment for dinner
gonna murder what i gotta for the sake of being winner
never stutter when i gotta take a demon outta sinner

i was marked for all attendance
didn’t need to say here
in the class of your transcendence
you gon’ have to stay fear
in ya like pneumonia
see you’re coughing ’cause i spit the truth
see how manifest my magic is
within the booth

rompiste un buñuelo como pan de cristo
pero el pan espiritual, sabes, no es sabroso
pero es justo porque iluminación tampoco
sabes lo que como cuando llega el almuerzo

ah, i’m unattractive
i thank you for your compliments
for now i know i built a kingdom
off more than my countenance

you can’t handle all my name like i am tikki tikki tembo
i will stick to keeping tempo, you can keep it out your mouth
you can’t see me making moves although i live this life in limbo
move around in silent magic like an elf upon the shelf

only washed~up
if you mean on the shores of greatness
hear a knock and i dup
the door, allowing fortune’s entrance

that is acrid truth
though i gulp it by the ladle
knowing fate forsooth
scribed it down afore my cradle

i just got a pen
’cause that is what he assigned me
what a jarring pen
filled with snakes and ghouls and dark’s glee
