Living life at a clip in an eclipse
Stuck in the tomb they built
The builders died as slaves
Spent half my life on my knees
Convinced I was free
Watching the clock that governed my body break
But it don't stop
It keeps ticking mane
Holding on like a flicking flame
But it's folly
I swear not even a brick will remain
Not even a map
Only some subways and some radioactive waste
Me I'm a son of a settler but I'm still
Yearning for a sense of place at a slower pace
There was nothing I was meant to do
Only things couldn't live with and didn't have time to
I used to wanna go out in a blaze of glory
But if you ask me
I wanna go out drinking lemonade on a balcony
Life ain't shit but living in love and going to war
More time to think
More wine to drink, more liquor to pour
And I don't know what anything is worth anymore
Guarantees, aren't guarantees
For guarantees you'll spend
Your whole life on your knees
And it don't matter what the mother brain
Claims to know what we believe
Us humans still have tricks up our sleeves
You best believe
No guarantees
There ain't no guarantees
No one cares what you believe
My best shows had no guarantees
I'm not afraid of ruins
I was born to em
Not afraid of the dark
Wandering the halls
The museums all crumbled
We may not have bought our
Tickets but the show goes on
Glass houses on fault lines
Y'all are doing something wrong
So dont tell me how to live
I won't tell you how to sit on your
Ass as the world burns
And you don't even say shit
We're all seeking something authentic
That's why motherfuckers
Lie to themselves, pathetic
As they cry to themselves as they quietly go to war
You Roman circus sacrifice
That's your blood on the amphitheater floor
The machines ain't taking over
It's the return of the luddites
Roddy Piper was right
The people you pray to betrayed you
And hey dude
You think you run shit
The jailers locked in the jail too
Memorize the destruction
Maximize the interruption
Leave no one behind
Get us the fuck up out this disneyland
Get me the fuck up out this frying pan
Reality augmented
You either run to it or run from it
They don't care what you believe
There ain't no guarantees
No one cares what you've achieved
There ain't no guarantees
Please
There ain't no guarantees
Work as hard as you believe
And that's word to COVID 19
