The final song on Buttress’s self-titled album is built off samples of whistles and the Beach Boys, but is far from relaxing as the samples might suggest.
[Chorus: The Beach Boys]
Let's go trippin', trippin' (x4)
[Intro: The Buttress]
Let's, go, tripping
[Verse 1: The Buttress]
On my life, the devil came to me thrice in one night
And on the next I was visited by the Shade of the Living Light
A hex to wreck your whole life was sent by your ex-wife
And now I'm sitting here next to her out of spite
I've been hiding at the base of a misty mountaintop
Taking vapors to the face, with the acid in the eyedrops
With eyes wide I watch tropical thunderstorms
Make the tide rise and wash ashore corpses of cyclops
I am standing in a room and the resonant frequencies of my voice are telling you what to do: EAT MORE SHROOMS
Until you've destroyed your illusion of self, until it feels like hell and you exist in a vacuum
I'm an important orator
A foreigner and I've come to this town to deliver a strange performance
Tale told by an orphan time and time again
Am I strange or am I friend? who gives a fuck, world without end
[Bridge: The Buttress]
Amen, world without end, amen
Amen, world without end, amen
Amen, world without end, amen
Let's go tripping
[The Beach Boys]
Let's go trippin', trippin' (x4)
[Verse 2: The Buttress]
Eyes blacked out like summer of '77
I talk to dogs like Sam from the gutters that beckonin'
Eatin' cubensis like bread from heaven
I'm telekinetic
Killing cats with my mind like Eleven
I'm Hildegaard Von Bingen
Voice in my head singing
If I die in this moment I don't care, cause what I'm seeing is there
And can not be described by neither words nor meaning
And now I have become shook to the core of my being
Don't leave me hanging at Owl Creek Bridge - in the infinite
I wanna look death in the face
Not wonder where it is
And when I leave this place, I hope it's with a kiss
With open eyes, I"ll say goodbye before the eternal trip
Empress, I'll see you there, but until then, in the cracks, in the stairs, in the back, where the time fabric tears
With tears I am christened
When I can't see I'll listen
Let's Go Tripping
[The Beach Boys]
Let's go trippin', trippin' (x4)
