lirik lagu replicator (of futurology) – life
cloud of doubt hanging over my life
every time i step, i settle on the edge of a knife
pedaling rhymes to a populace that couldn’t give a f-ck
it’s just words from some c-nt trying to act tough
if only you knew the half of it
at my best, i’m not a half
i feel like i’ve never been [?]
i feed my ego, feed my p-ssion
‘cause i’m not responsible enough to have it
feel like i’m slacking even as i drag my pen across this pad, ah
your half-hearted laugh echoes
your false praise tantamount to the devil
just let the dust settle, don’t meddle with my [?] reckoning
i’m tryna seek shelter from the unsettling result
a gentleman in cuffs who desperately bluffs
never really won, tends to just shrug this whole life off and write songs
about how i can’t even cope at all, ah
how familiar, the struggling artist
bargaining with artemis instead of taking aim at targets, the free market and the parliament
i would be adamant but to be honest i’m just sick of the arguments
don’t want to see friends become enemies
i’m begging for the strength to just see the end of today
tomorrow a new struggle
borrow until i buckle
under the power rich, boom and bust bubble
i remember a time when my cause seemed righteous
now i fight it purely because i like writing
i’m in this for the long haul, creating for the sake of it
i don’t need payment, just your attention when i start saying sh-t
because it’s all that i think i’ve got to give
bottom of the barrel, and living on a wing and a prayer
surely it’s better than nothing
i place my bets on the circus to pen my way out of the suffering
constantly wondering if i need to justify
the fact that all i want to do is make music until i die
feast on your humble pie, i’ve got a dream to follow
this album of solitary, fl!ckering light amidst the darkness of tomorrow
you drown your sorrows in a bottle, and i drown ‘em in a verse
trading vices seems like a fair way to hedge bets
lift the stress from my chest from my breath control
nothing is set in stone
do you believe that we control our own destiny?
i know the journey’s uncertain but we’ll get it eventually
i have hope and not because of naïveté
bad sh-t happens to me but i still come by a facetious defeat
i stand strong on my feet
rather than live a life on my knees
i’ll preach peace to the very last breath in my lungs
whether it goes unsung isn’t my worry
i scribble through a flurry of tears
picturing social movements improving this system until we’re truly free
does it seem impossible to imagine a better world?
isn’t that what human beings are supposed to do from the first second of birth?
yearn to be better, but ostracize the inquisitive
beat out the intelligence, bit out and belittle it
riddle our children in bullet holes and schisms
leaving them in the depravity of our indifference and indecision
they say that’s life, i say how can they be sure?
they say bad times are coming and only god can see us through, they say, ah
they say a lot, this in different mask
perpetually chilling on pastures of greenest gr-ss
counting the sands as it p-sses in the hour gl-ss
and laugh at the hole in a poor side of the raft
i’ve been sleeping in most days
these days, these days
but i’ve been waking with a grin so hey, so hey
i’ve been thinking ‘bout the way we live these days in this crazy place
it’s hard to believe we survive at all
at all
at all
peace
