And War

[Hook: Molly Dean:]

10,000 years and all I know is…

[Verse 1: Joe Horton:]

New wave Roanoke fugue state
Few tiny pupil in the belly of the doomsday
Ever seen a paycheck smile
That wasn't cranked like a good ol’ boy tape deck dial?
Thought not ‘ Now if you got a problem ‘
I got a gazillion different ways that you can solve it
Cheapest is the kool-aid ‘ Stolen from mommy and daddy suitcase
Mr. yuk sticker on the gut no matter who say
And a fly jumpsuit too ‘ Long list of villain done infiltrated the crew
Each got an x next to their name on the page
I mean what did they expect from messing ’round with the plague
Memetic frenetic pace ‘ Indebted kinetic slaves
Infected with clever chains ‘ The nemesis never changes
Ever seen a come down frown ‘ that wasn't sunk like a uni told ‘em take that down now?

[Hook: Molly Dean:]

[Verse 2: Joe Horton:]

Test stone kicked over sea cliff
Sky take soul ‘ Water keep secret
Never seen an apex smile that wasn't wide as the pauses in the countdown
8,9,10, jump
Must've been the shoes ‘ Two left
Cut loose the customary rouse
Lucid ‘ Finally ‘ After a lifetime of dry heaves
Driven by the myth that there’s some sinister inside me
And yes, I still have a problem
Maybe three or four different ways that I can solve it
Quickest is the soothsaye ‘ Fresh from a Peruvian jewel case
Untame the wilds of my mind no matter who say
It’s my duty as the universe awakened
To be naked unafraid of future pain
That I created in a past I now abstract
Into a passionate reaction to the gap in
My perception and the effervescent present
Best ten cent guess
Take my word for it or cheapen it for yourself
Either way is best, but I've never seen a newborn smile
That wasn’t worth the pain of labor in the end
