lirik lagu west rhetoric - no water
[verse 1: bedrock]
what can i say with a folded tongue?
creased secrets like origami organs
flying off black lungs
i’m not done
not ’til the walls i’m boxed in cave
i craft utility with stability with the rotting f~cks i gave
made a bed for compassion inside my empty grave (grave)
and bathe all day in apathy
until i can’t be swayed
now no longer will i
snap at her heels
i wear this muzzle willingly
to taste how defeat feels
break the puzzle
but still visualize the ghost image it yields
wrinkled food after the harvest
fallen, forgotten in the fields
surrounded a lonely cottage
college is a festering wound of knowledge
i’d amputate the limb
but skin has grown to solid to cut
b~ttressed by bone, gut, and cigarette b~tts
callouses sprout to balance out the soft insides i can’t corrupt
though i try, i try, i try again
but all i see is twisted faces through the bl~~dy lens
a fisheye drowning in them p~n~ses
the aperture’s opening
a solitary life of knife wound sans wife
holding in everything as it bleeds out
betraying my silence
i use dead skin cells to build mausoleums for my kindness
and oh, oh
what a beautiful fantasy
to exist without conscience, need, or accountability
i’m not there yet
though it’d be impossibly easy
if i just keep getting rejected and stay glued to the tv
[verse 2: bones mcqueen]
there’s no water
like there’s no father
around to watch over his grown son and lone daughter
we have gone farther than busted boats could ever float us here
though the species is mcqueen the phylum’s boneses
cry for the plight of the common man
we’re all homeless
soul searching the global for more warming
without a forewarning
i’m courting disaster
floor it faster
to leave the cordless mic stabbed with spikes and formless
i don’t need a master to teach me how to perform sh~t
i know how to f~ck it real slow with an engorged d~ck
with words swarming
i am torn from limb to limb
hearing different hymns
distorted coat~blowing of dormant winter winds
this poet making the bone~heads cry “uncle!” (uncle, uncle!)
like babysitting your sister’s kids on a sunday
feed ’em easy mac
i’m packing lunches on a budget
i can stuff it
grandmaster cutting tension with blunt blades
before you ever heard the cl!ck of the hilt
forced it to explode like propane
i’m the king of the hill
limpin’
but still illa from the scent
lingering smells
shut down the olfactory
shatter the septum until it fell
there was no sceptre at the bend of it all
only rusted crowns, a dead queen at the end of the hall
i’m sorry, i’m not a pauper
i poppa the ball
it’s improper
f~cking coppers trying to take my property yard
pocket change
but only large dollars can talk to him
show ’em a wad of bills
a lot of cash
and silver grills
didn’t even suspect me
they said instead “pr~nounce your ls,”
motherf~cker i’ll smoke an l and spit these rs
artfully articulated artisan arguing harder than guarding an armory from onslaughts of sauntering zombies
even under pressure i’ve gotta be on it
resolve darker than onyx
it’s harder than fossils, uh
[verse 3: bedrock]
doctors diagnose “depressed”
but that’s really news to me
prescribed to rx eggs
stomach’s a happiness hatchery
i use side effects to build my nest
against aggressive elements
the fact anxiety leaves dents in my breaths, irrelevant
and that’s real
’cause no loops means i still play dr. seuss for people
even with screws loose
rhymes design asylum beneath steeple
’cause i’m an architect
construct beauty with the fire i spit
who ain’t sh~t
guess that makes me an arsonist
no argument
turn it to ash
like high~class b~tches puff parliaments
‘frisco bay becomes pompei
taking human statues down to tartarus
so i guess she’s persephone
and i’m asking if we
can chill in my h~ll of self~loathing as the world freeze (freeze)
don’t need no body heat from me
i’m just a disease
infectious nexus of perfectionist
pathogens at the end of his rope
scattering contagious rage across the microscope
ego smaller than a microbe
who the f~ck would wanna disrobe
and quench my thirst for connection
honesty’s my only weapon
so no wonder i’m parched
on a death march
wandering the desert with no water in my throat
and i’m gonna take shelter in somebody’s fortress if i gotta drink the moat
but ’til then i’m just tilling
a tear~salted pasture
with pasteurized eyes
deliver heart on a platter
preserved in formaldehyde
frigid, fragile as glass
like the illusion you can work your way into the upper class
at the slightest touch it crumbles and breaks
mummified
dust drying me to replace
or at least
lubricate without hydraulic klonopin
sleep~walking off of the bering strait
gotta migrate away from these fifty festering states
so i hopped in the volvo
started driving down the interstate
and i found water
flow engraved upon my license plate
