lirik lagu the myth of ken - permanence
[chorus]
ya got scars; ya got dreams
they both hurt; they both scream
just give it time
you’ll get it back when the end comes
[verse 1]
my body’s clean, but give it time
i see tattoos as the blip that breaks the flatline
a solid streak is neat – if you’re okay with that
i’d like to divvy up my canvas like a paper mat
a culture reference here; a buddy’s midnight drawing there
i’d hate to open up my final resting place and find me bare
(god d-mn shame)
you’ll hear the creak and ink’ll shatter on the pauls that bear
it’s like i’m repping t.a.r.e
but i got problems with permanence and it shows
i don’t like scars or haircuts, the list of changes grows
i’m not afraid of doing either, but it scares me
that one day i’m a full man; and the hundred next i’m barely
fallin’ apart at the seams is meant for old guys
i’ve been rippin’ innards i deserve to keep my outsides
i’m still young; i’ve got a lot of time
whether i take it or waste it we’re still on track to find
so if i waste a few seconds making decisions
would it really change the timeline – i’m talkin’ permanence
[chorus]
ya got scars; ya got dreams
they both hurt; they both scream
just give it time
you’ll get it back when the end comes
[verse 2]
i used to cut into the wood of my desk
it would astound me how the chips were here a moment but not next
it takes a bit more force, but people do the same
whether you cut ’em to pieces or force ’em away
i’ve got experience; with more than one of those
they have a permanent relationship with early flows
i’ve got the memories imprinted on my brain
i said before my body’s clean but i said nothin’ ’bout a mental stain
so now i’m forced with a decision to make
am i a man on the edge or am i a man at the stake
and i’ve been commanded to take; the only tail i can’t break
regret is keepin’ me bumpered so that i only look straight
[verse 3]
and now i’m stuck in this sisyphus of a choice
do i mark it red or turqoise; am i music or am i noise
do i leave my hair out to grow
or do i follow my father’s voice
do i move to a windy city and sign to a record label
i know that i must be able but stable ain’t in my poise
i could move in with all the boys and build all this sh-t up with gradle
i’m coffee-depleted ladle: i’m hoist to the other side
i’m delauney matrix part-tion: i’m voronoi with design
i’m needle-phobic by mind but the closest’s easy to find
it’s an o(log(n)) for time, but an o(n^2) in mind
i’m distractin’ myself with rhyme so i’m latchin’ myself to table
i’m slammin’ my fear away and the needle’s pressin’ in lables
this is permanent
