BADMINTON (feat. Aesop Rock) - Onry Ozzborn

The closest I can get to him Is when we're playing badminton I don't care how many miles I run As long as he says "well done" I remember when he taught me Hand positioning in volleyball I forget what we could have been When we're here in the school gym What I wish the most Is that all of our hugs Are like the ones we share in ball courts And I won't complain I'd rather keep on playing It's true that love sometimes looks like a game The closest I can get to him Is when we're playing badminton I don't care how many miles I run As long as he says "well done" I remember when he taught me Hand positioning in volleyball I forget what we could have been When we're here in the school gym I keep my eyes on the ball Just like you told me to But now my feet feel likes glue And my toe nails turn blue You don't tell me "be patient" You say "you'll get it next time" Only the racket's on my mind You will always win Always win Always win The closest I can get to him Is when we're playing badminton I don't care how many miles I run As long as he says "well done" I remember when he taught me Hand positioning in volleyball I forget what we could have been When we're here in the school gym You will always win, always win, always win You go, I go You will always win, always win, always win You go, I go What I wish the most Is that all of our hugs Are like the ones we share in ball courts

Contemplate our coherent process Masquerade obstruction from the human mind Can we surpass our disposition? Assimilate prudence within actualities Bring reason to light Illumination won't enlighten everyone Gesturing knowledge to cease their detrimental ways Displaced Salvaging my sense of self I sought catharsis Come and bring forth solutions that fill this void with bliss I've silenced myself for reasons I can't explain Flourish beyond this haunting phase Counteracting ignorance With strong rationale and inference Resolving varied afflictions Combating my contradictions Congregate and see this crude display of self reliance Conjure glee instead of bleak obstruction Succumb to sacred healings Judgement now remains irrelevant to our expedition There's something more to explore in the end Bored of the trials and the tribulations Time after time I'm not safe in my skin Questioning my salvation Solutions found At last I feel exuberance speak to me and displace Obviate obstruction from the human mind Gesturing knowledge to cease their vile ways Obviate obstruction from the human mind Gesturing knowledge to cease their vile ways Contemplate our coherent process Sending reinforcements to your hemisphere With broad horizons lighting fires in eyes Long forgotten Reversion controls our thoughts Our hearts
