In modern days I try to think of ways to stave in expression Until I cave in, now to think of ways to placate depression When my left brain hits recession Amending trends inside my head Defending by Otamendi Depleting goodness in plenty Instead of betting all my checks I'll spend the rest on a necklace Stretched outta hemp, until I get faklempt Attempt to step down And my shoelace is twisted, I'm slippin' Opposite of ascension But then get caught I'm in a knot locked up in lonely suspension Now let the band play Hoping that this ain't another damned place A castle long as you can keep the sand safe Let the band play Nothing like the sun up on your last day So you just gotta get it while you can mate And let the band play And so I'm left here dolo and hangin' If only I could swang an inch or two forward Momentum would get me goin' To step onto the stool that I used to sit in That's looking now more like the of edge of abyss and I got my pants full of piss and There's not a chance this is the final dance that I had envisioned I feel my spinal cord aligning more with tiles in floors But all the while my own eyes are cryin', might be the force Or pressure under neck, I try like heck to pull in a breath Y It's just some shit to get off my chest I hope this letter said it better than I ever could have I put my heart in something just to get it stomped with a sneaker But we need silence as we test the loud speaker (Shhh, shut the fuck up!) Now let the band play Hoping that this ain't another damned place A castle long as you can keep the sand safe Let the band play Nothing like the sun up on your last day So you just gotta get it while you can mate And let the band play
