Fluoride mint chemical swirl
The dentist and you / your dirty pearls
Insurance routine / a monthly fee
Oh I earned the pain / so punish me
Oh no!
It’s all average
It’s a way to live
NO / NO / NO / NO
Happiness sprouts from sliding scales
Exchanges and ranges and hidden sales
Insurance routine / pay to survive
They’re your only teeth / so look alive
Oh fuck!
Everyone’s got to smile sometimes

Sacred Dropping Jaw
02:14
|
|||
Sneaking a laugh or two feels like rebellion
Chalk it up to a huge past / closet full of skeletons
Dry boned excuse
The long view of history
Could you please stop quizzing me
Everybody talks about me in the third person
Everybody talks about me like i can’t hear you and
What you say / I know it / everyone does
What you say / I know it / everyone does
Wish that you would stop talkin’
Figureheads for sex and reason
I don’t care what you’ve been drinkin’
I don’t wanna know
I got a sun tan / I own the weather

Bottom Shelf
02:34
|
|||
I’m one with approved packaging
I am my brightest self
my name and face emblazoned / right on the bottom shelf
the name / the face / the date / the brand
the feeling in your palms
the routine now that I adore
sacred practice of the grocery store
At the bottom / at the bottom / at the bottom
You solved it / you solved it / you solved it
A way to ease the pacing / to trick you
while they’re waiting / I’ll slip through
they’re so patient / so what’s the difference now?

(Oh wait)
Popped in wesleys disc
I don’t pay for Netflix
I just dip my cinnastix
I know my schtick is hit-or-miss
Christ is sick of all your shit
U my slave now on a ship
U a cracker I’m a whip
I’ll pimp u like the government
Federal encumberment
Those losers that can’t water Flint
Excusin child endangerment
(It’s more than just icing)
I only got like 16 bucks
To give to the collection plate
Jesus, will that be enough?
God is good but I am great!
I’m filled with love not filled with hate
I don’t deserve to masturbate
I am the master of my own fate
I am the master of my own fate
I am the master of my own fate

Jealous
01:49
|
|||
I don't want to do this together
Don't want to play on a team
And it makes me feel so jealous
I just can't believe it's happening again
I don't want to break out I'm tethered
Don't want to make it a scene
And I start to feel so jealous
I just can't believe this happens all the time

Ordinary Heat Wave
01:39
|
|||
You’re winnin arguments daily
You’re smokin’ menthols nonstop
i do the hustle in a hazmat
I’ve got the name and the number
neighbor don’t know that I called
I keep the records in the basement
just another ordinary heatwave
business casual chemical fire
I’m diggin tunnels / makin proper headway
who will protect me from your empire?
You’re siphoning fuel in the flood plain
You wouldn’t steal it before
I try to take as much as I can carry
You try to rationalize sometimes
but it’s always been the truth
You never thought it was possible
just another ordinary heatwave
business casual chemical fire
I’m diggin tunnels / makin proper headway
who will protect me from your empire?

(It’s fine)
Just so you know
You can’t destroy me
No matter how hard you try
No one can destroy me
How well do you trust the people that you talk to everyday?
Can you be sure that the liberal English teacher with the resistance tattoos isn’t anti-ebonics?
Did you know that she’s anti-ebonics
Don’t get my wrong
I sure my love city,
But
Sometimes
I
Wonder
Why
All black people live over there, while the rest of us hang out, together, together
Sometimes when I’m a-cruisin down 94 I (skrt)
I’ll admit it
I’m a distracted driver
Sometimes I look at my phone
Sometimes I don’t even notice when there’s ICE or snow on the road
But somehow
I always
I always get home safe, ow
Sweet Jesus, take the wheel!
Sweet Jesus, take the wheel!

Kelly Clarkson take the wheel!
Ruben Studdard! Clay Aiken!

repeat the rhythms of the movement
silhouette of a sigh and scream
Robert Mueller in the vacuum or an L / E / D / screen
the door guy here won’t even look at me
brain must work / overtime
you make that error / you make that error shine
Are we already falling off the edge?
preluding apocalypse, personal warfare
personal consequence crawling inside there
where?
Are we already falling off the edge?

now that we’re assigned / placement on the line / factoried and fine / heart rate measures time /
bum, bum

Did you wake up this morning?
Did you recite your name?
Register at the courthouse / log in at the courthouse
Did you get what / what you wanted?
Make sure you want / what you wanted?
Confirm with the clerk that she’s on it / on it
oh shit!
Did you take shape this morning?
Your credit card and you?
Compassion and style / government issued
No you won’t steal the water / but you know that you need it
You’ll go on and you’ll feed / and you’ll feed it / feed it
oh yes!
