lyrics

half assed
half assed like the mist
the backward pattern i am
murky in all my otherness…i am
emergent insurgent detergent
i am the brink of evaporation…tasting bleach
i am frozen in liquidation...the melting con tinues
a merciless con fusion......an inevitable con dition
humanity thou great expanding con artist going
c e m e n t e m e n t a l
i too am going cementemental

it’s my bad altitude hinting
hinting because i’m forgetting
forgetting that the past won’t forget me
that doesn’t mean it’s coming back
obviously the past isn’t coming back
it’s always been here right here full of echo
a s h a d o w t h a t n e v e r g r o o m s
t h e p a s t i s r e s i d e n t r e s i d u e
s c h i z o t o x i n s o f b l u e
unhinged and loitering rent free in my soul
the past is living rent free in my soul
so much so i’m disgusted and disguised
with this kind of sediment
ancient shit for sediment
so much so i’m rapped
rapped in shrink wrap

just another aversion to myself
trying to undream undream
my own straight jacket skin
it is here spread out on the inside that
i’m desperate to find somewhere safe
safe safe safe from myself
it is here i can confess i am
c e m e n t e m e n t a l
definitely cementemental

i can admit i’ve been loaded
loaded in subatomic sentimental drift
a borderline magician a dubious flowtician
a slippery constant you can’t follow
a slippery constant like drinking
l i k e d r i n k i n g w a t e r
i discover myself drinking water
but never tasting it...why
tell me have i become
this tasteless this overdue
this gentle in my numbness
this cementemental
