lyrics

Leave with your lights on
Go where you like, I’m trying to keep my brain on
Brain on and strong
Back into the song

Head on the pavement
Armies in aprons trying to keep you towing
Towing along
Right til you were wrong

Yea, I am the Orpheus and you are Theophilus
I kept my sea afloat with lazy tones raring to go
They started pumping us w antidotes and oxygen
“I am the catalyst! I am the catalyst!”

You are the scissor kick and you are the optimist
You kept the business droned w lazy loans
Listen, as my right hand preaches
My left hand roars through the door

Leave with your license and pray for life
I’m trying to slow my brain down
Hang down and drown
The cops miss you around

Senator statements, armored enragements
Dyin to keep you scrolling
Scrolling along
Back where you belong

I am the ammunition, you are the operative
I sent my scene a note to “wait at close range w a dose..”
Cooled the union heads and cancelled all the stoppages
“I am the satirist! I am the satirist!”

You are the premonition, you are the obvious
You kept your people going “wait a sec..”
Don’t they call me the tea preacher? The menace of Rome?

N’all the chicken shits yea
Wasting all the symbiotic emphasis on howling down the corridor like a vision gripped
Can’t rock until I roar

All the grizzled bits with
Mouths and mausoleums on a fishing trip just hanging out the window like a New Autistic
Rock until I roar

C-I-O-A
D-I-O-A
Hammer the safe until I’m taking its place
Smashing the crates
Sealing the fates
Shaking the cage until I’m dragging the reigns back where it belongs
Back where you belong
Back here into the song
Back where you belong
