lyrics

(Brass Clouds)
Clocks in reverse as we rehearse the clone rituals
At home habitual, filling up the kitchen bowl
I try to survive the sword storm, new vs the norm core
Ratio over 3 to 1 to overcome the four score
I’ve poisoned apples and broken satellites
Turn up the kick and Acrolie, pack it right and stack the light
I’m holding mics with rotted hands, I’ve got some plotted plans
Plus someday I’ll be another person potted plant

(Lucas)
I’ma a sucker for a sore sight that guts me like a Philly Wrap
I get it til my silly ass is spinning like the ceiling fan
Spilling that soliloquy illy to get you leaping off the lily pad
You feelling that? We got ‘em hooked like Billy Bass
Stick and stone cuts, the prose struck like so what
You must have mistaken me, homey, I don’t give no fucks
Double negative, I put a bunch of sweat in this
It takes a lot of work to make it seem like something effortless

For the purpose, the props, and the praise
I go hard as the body obeys
For the sun and the droplets of rain
I got love for some opposite thangs

(Brass Clouds)
Born naked with horns sacred
The torn vagrant from hands of the sworn ancients
Unraveling the strands of persuasion, percussion placement
Adjacent to the vocal tracks we are lacing

(Lucas)
My imagination’s like some five year old Picasso’s
Finger painting aliens with shiny, glowing nostrils
A hundred popping eyes on a hundred winding tentacles
This is what they’ll get next time someone tries to mess with you

(Brass Clouds)
Hollow bottle flutes follow me like the boots on my feet
Cleats for the concrete, fleets for the song sheet
Right way to the wrong week, sugar coated bong free
Short circuiting the long leash

(Lucas)
Talks cheaper than a scribbled IOU slip
I speak it, then I say it, then I plan it, then I do it
My dome is but a star for a team of tiny muses
That’ll circle round and round, call it mindful revolution

(Brass Clouds)
Growing glass gardens on dilapidated rooftops
Dropping like a new stock, only ever moved a few blocks
Lock and load and control your headphones
The kings of this dead zone, selling souls like cell phones

(Lucas)
Buy ‘em all, discount pricing
Crash and burn, baby, but I dismount nicely
Humble attitude with a sick style psyche
I only wake the fuck up to get down nightly, aight, peace
