[Intro]
Writing with some vague intent
Like pulling hair out of cement
Straining through the day's lament
What do I need to say?
Why do I have to say it?
Parables and prophecies
Odes and tomes and poetry
Another jaded century
What do I need to say?
Why do I have to say it?
[Verse 1]
2100 BC on a piece of fucking stone
Flash to 21st century and I'm so fucking stoned
There is lore about the shores of the dead sea scrolls
Fragmented texts but I'm so fragmented I just keep scrolling
Rolling off of the tip of my tongue
Pretentious pedantry timed to the beat of the drum, bup-pup-pup
[Verse 2]
Write from experience, honour whats inside
But my memory's erratic so a lot is falsified
Fossilized but still alive, so many voices from the past
Words that echo of the present aren't meant to outlast
[Verse 3]
No longevity in words especially when they are facts
They merely serve the fickle fiction for this soft white track
Epitaph- for the last – tortured writer on the planet
Here lies Young Werther who died drowsily on Xanax
Overdose on thinking, yeah, a casualty of art
Fountain of Bellagio beating in my heart
[Chorus]
Imagine that there's no final act
Just adaptations of perpetual mass
How climactic could it possibly be
A thousand plateaus that we cannot see
For every instance there is a blind
That permeates into one of a kind
Splinter-splinter, time is not intact
And the world is independent of all facts
[Refrain]
Why can't I say what's on my mind?
Why are the words so hard to find?
I have no mouth and I must scream
Tower of Babel in my dreams
[Refrain]
Why can't I say what's on my mind?
Why are the words so hard to find?
I have no mouth and I must scream
Tower of Babel in my dreams
[Outro]
Writing with some vague intent
Like pulling hair out of cement
Straining through the day's lament
What do I need to say?
Why do I have to say it?
