All Black
(专辑: Splendor & Misery - 2016)
Warning: mothership reporting Cargo number 2331 has commandeered the
vessel Warning: mothership reporting Cargo number 2331 is armed and he is dangerous Warning: mothership reporting Cargo number 2331 is setting a
new course Warning: mothership reporting Mothership reporting: All black everything All black everything All black everything All black No landing, geared up for arrival, nowhere to arrive to The
subject seems upset by that to which he is subjected But convinced he brought it on himself That's why he roll with a
bible on the
console Inconsolable, no consolation, no cancellation Nocturne in all keys, he puts the
ship through paces And paces the
halls, pacing is madness Patience is virtuous, patient of these observations It was all a
dream, he poses by the
lift outside the
mezzanine Like a
photo in a
magazine And always keeps the
weapons' magazines clean Paranoia prone, he babbles beautifully Of Babylon and enemies and foes And forgoing food sustains himself on anger A
danger to himself and others but there are no others So the
danger clear and present is presented as The
gift of freedom wrapped in days of rapping to himself Until his vocal cords collapse, he's in the
galley screaming (All black everything) He shouts at the
dark, stands back Counting the
seconds before his voice returns (All black everything) No more cracks in the
hull The
small crack in the
skull healed up quickly, now it is (All black everything) The
space stretches on and the
pace that he's on Matters not as he hurtles into the
(All black everything) He repeats it at night with the
lights out in his cot crying soft curses into the
(All black everything, all black everything) (All black everything, all black) Something within this one's different The
others died so easily and he is so persistent He never did bleed out and fever couldn't kill his system Though it was pumped through all the
vents In the
event of a
total loss of control He quotes Kendrick's "Control" verse and spews his vitriol Into the
echoes of the
bowels of this floating metal hull And holds his pillow for dear life while he grinds his teeth at night And he rarely makes requests except to say, "Turn on the
lights." But there is so much more to give He ignores processing power He stumbles to the
shower, a
ritual of some sort And he insists on speaking passages before he eats And he keeps asking if these programs carry any beats The
reply is (All black everything) His vitals read normal but his face reads murderous Something hides within the
(All black everything) He tries, overrides, and he thinks he has been locked out By some other force in the
(All black everything) He doesn't suspect this is the
heart that's been keeping him out For it has been warned to be (All black everything) And in this program to transport nothing more But he's unlocked something new inside this (All black everything) (All black everything, all black everything) (All black) Look how he flexes in the
mirror So vain he probably thinks this song is about him All songs are about him Look how perplexed and how sincere His lame attempts to fix the
wrong around him Can't go long without him His bouts of stasis are torture He feels them not, like a
brief sleep While ship's clocks count millennia The
course relentlessly forward, the
gears are hot The
driest creek while he pit-stops, calling for anyone But dare not stay long, he knows they're coming for him That time will not afford him Any cover, any pardon This is the
choice that he has made No matter how much time or space has passed since his escape He is still a
runaway slave and so lonely If only he realized this ship is more than metal There's friendship in the
wiring, and so lonely If only he realized this ship has many levels There's pleasure in here hiding, come find it Don't mind this frame, time has made stranger bedfellows Made foes lovers before, there's no reason to torture yourself further You've lost it all already, you deserve more than you're getting For the
sake of not upsetting order in the
(All black everything) He must find a
place to be still The
body can only take so much (All black everything) The
navigations are failing, having traveled further than before Into the
(All black everything) But they won't quit, they carry on He carries on, he will not be victim to the
(All black everything) His survival is paramount, there is no other objective Safe passage through the
(All black everything) (All black everything, all black everything) (All black everything, all black) Warning: mothership reporting This will be the
last report, turn back, everything is fine Warning: mothership reporting Cargo number 2331 is not a
danger, let him be Warning: mothership reporting If you continue to pursue there will be no choice but to destroy you Warning: mothership reporting This love will be defended at all costs, do not fuck with it All black everything All black everything All black everything All black
