Die Another Day

(album: Jackpot Juicer - 2022)

Lay my tentacles
In the crucible
Just to see the world
As something beautiful again
Melt my sins

He's losing pounds
Just lay him down
And pop it in its place
Take the scruff
And pull it up
He'll die another day

Start over
I can't bear to look back
Start over
I always run away
Sweet closure
Cure me of my candor
Shoo vultures
I'll die another day

Lay my tentacles
In the crucible
Just to see my chores
As something meaningful again
From within
All out of breath
From my warpath
Sweating toxicity
Begging for amnesty
Make it a song
Always a song
Can only tell you the truth in the chant of a tone

I'll never be enough unless I finish this sentence
Did it come into existence or was it invented
Only getting stuck because I already did it

Start over
I can't bear to look back
Start over
I always run away
Sweet closure
Cure me of my candor
Shoo vultures
I'll die another day

Pigeon in my vision frigid in the kitchen
Blithering committed piebald cow
Scummy ballerina standing on your femur
Pop your sloppy doggy eyeballs outs

Started at the finish
Did it in a minute
Living to flip in the breeze
Had to do the did it
Rigid ribbit critic
Making a pino go grig
God why'd you have to do that me

Safe, sound on the other side
Back to devour what I've been denied
Bad track record to be kind but this time I'll be paying attention
Can't dwell on my damaged pride
I got moves to make, I got hearts to break through
Manic and erratic but emphatic about learning the hard way (learning the hard way)

Need to bite to the animal
To get my instincts churning
Shake up my camera roll
Been a minute
It's been a minute
We don't obey
It's all a game
There's no give and take
There's no give and take
There's no talk but kill the king
No talk, just kill the king
They won't talk just kill the

I'm shaking the plastic off
Ripping the wrapper off
Students coming out clean

Devoted to master stroke
Licking the envelope
Sending my bright blue flame
