Special thanks to depression and Issa for making this one possible.

lyrics

Memento mori make you forget to live
Give you that thousand yard stare, eyes just two holes in the sieve
Face crumple salt pillar sink into chair
Powerless to resist, that’s all old is, fuck fair
It’s Trudging, stuporous, spent and exhausted
Thinking every day, okay, I finally lost it
Skin look more wrinkled and weathered than ever
War with world weariness, race to the ether
Down in the oubliette you get a lot of time to ponder
Pick through memories and recollections like a grave robber
Profit off snapped synapses, food for thought or just fodder?
These is uncharted waters
What’s past is dead, and it’s a world in these bones
So roll em, eat that pomegranate, pick your headstone
We dance on graves, gaze at flowers, walk on the roof
Dying to live
Ain’t that the truth

And It is always too much
And it will never be enough
Off the street they gon have to sweep my desiccated husk
On a quest to say one true thing
Be broke when I drop out, but in my eyes I am king
Writing my great escape on late nights and lunch breaks
Toil in rocky soil and hope to fuck the roots take
Furrowed fertile fields under blue and white sky
But no rain come down from these eyes, it’s bone dry
Dreams and nightmares blur, floating free of weight
Between anguished unmaking and terrifying awakening
All the thought in the world leave that fear unlessened
Leave a litany of right answers to wrong questions
What is up anymore? I only know forward
Knocked down enough no longer keep score
Orpheus knows what that’s like
To go to hell and back
Come back with jack shit
That’s life
