lyrics

all cylinders (on empty) firing
switch from beer to coffee at five am
just your try and stop me from expiring
slamming this brick wall, sleep right where i fall

bouncing back from hazardous
like a lacerated Lazarus.

i'm nintendo, i'm crescendo,
i'm not saying anything
thin ice cracking, i am tracking
shit all through the house that you've just cleaned

bouncing back from hazardous
like a lacerated Lazarus.

a hooded figure under streetlights (plotting my escape)
until the vultures pick my bones clean (i remain)
the dusky cloak of early morning
disregarding every single warning
spinning the wheels to keep from toppling over
my stumbling block, my compulsion.

"if the ocean was whisky and i was a duck
i'd dive to the bottom and never come up"
