Garbage

[Intro] The ritual goes, same window, different visual Wing of wax? Or wing of gold leaf? Choose one Float or plummet 20,000 cold leagues My nourishment's provided in the summer So then I wonder how y'all chasing dreams when what's tangible still outruns you! Hail dirty doll immaculate performance Warm as the march of a billion torches forward to burn what I'm born in Cut and paste alertness to current settings provided quick Shimmy the pirate ship mass, spot the island, sound the siren And about face Let's salute the embraced pertinent generals Who turned innocent hermits to burning spectacles Flirtin' with a serpent working overtime, drain the battery Siphon the poison to flood his majesty's hatchery I was riding on a yellow bus to where the brush thickens And it ain't exactly plush pickings I'd rather take the time to burn every last bridge I've ever crossed beneath the sun Than live my life knowing you may one day follow me over one Snake bite, breath too heavy to hold Caught up in the wake of the red witch trying to swim it Ran for the sake of dead cliques stripped of idyllic image Steal a sloppy earth meal Feed my pottery wheel to model colossal vision Thrill, trucking with a bucket of pennies I'm 'a drag my sneakers through the dirt like alligator bellies 'til the cloud burst Honor and a loud thirst submersed in a trap Little drummer boy vs. thunderclap [Hook] x2 In a city of garbage, trying to reap the harvest Adaptation is the trap in which the artist meets the forest Swing you're little ax, or be an oak tree if you can't Either way, adapt to circumstance or play your final hand You don't know enigma An attempt to bury the hatchet rendered me victim of deviltry Plus wounded like stigmatics Something's huffing hazardous I smell an inch of difference in this morning's pollution pistons And how the loose ends drifted My sour patch institution slipped in amidst the invaders and pardon my tone But this garden's grown fucking acres since my visit Itching to count the layers in the blizzard 'Til that chapter where my family inserts the dagger and twists it It's a carnival Have you any sweets for my weary kin? It's a carnival Have you any feed for my cheery grin? It's a carnival Welcome, play our games, you'll never win 'Cuz it's that carnival where every freak show spectacle's your friend And I'm a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas Anti-freeze to glacier, cookin' a look of fiery nature It's the ceiling feeling too heavy to bliss the I-beams for a fraction more Collapsed and left 'I'm sorry' tacked to you door Pitching my back to hell's kitchen Back burner murder machinery released regardless of the pardons Hitching my life to the leash of one minstrel Sick of same window different visual Same agnostic hostage different ritual Plague, cooperative super colony clash I heard you got a dust collection, lemme see it I duel as underdog vs. forced adaptation to the marvels of the now Since then, my knuckles haven't once dragged on the ground [Hook] x2 [OUTRO] x8 The ritual goes, same window different visual
