Umm… It’s hard not to go with the grain
I impress myself when I dress myself
I’m easily so entertained
No goals in the trunk, but at least I’m conscious
Pompous? Nah, ‘cause I don’t want this
I’m just nauseous from this noxious insecurity that’s haunting
I’m a novice—record spotless
Would it be so bad if it just had a coffee stain or two?
I’d feel like someone else!
(‘Cause it grooves to the rhythm of a splash in a pond)
But at the same time, I’ been me now for so long,
I think it’s time to flip that cup…
(Spill it out, let it flow ‘til it goes and it goes)
I took a shot in the dark
My arrows are hanging over me,
And waiting for the connection is more than I can stand
I’m so peeved
It’s like you’re asleep
So, I reach for the dirt-cheap tricks
To beat this—defeat them
The cleats on my feet keep slipping
And I’m tripping while you’re sipping down that Haterade
Go back to catering
The team needs an ace, and I’m far from it…
No, my job’s to eat shit and turn stomachs
I don’t like to compete, but I’m gonna’
I’m a little salty, but I’m coming like a Shyamalan twist
That’s a miss amid the mist
I plead the fifth,
‘Cause I know it’s a sinking ship,
And I’m bound to whiff the hit
But at the same time, I have sucked now for so long;
I think it’s time to bottoms up!
(When it doubt, knock it down, make it bounce, let it out)
I took a shot in the dark
My arrows are hanging over me,
And waiting for the connection is more than I can stand,
But we’re all playing ‘til the end
We play until the end
My turn is coming!
No isolation
The arrows are falling—unbound for completion
No rest until I give my best
No rest until I’ve picked up all of the fragments that broke off and splintered,
All of the pieces that I never asked for,
All of the sorrow, be cut like steak to a knife
Never break, never be disappointed
No, I swear, we’ll drink their blood
Refuse to call it quits ‘cause we can’t lose forever
Something’s bound to crumble
They’re tired, and we’ve only just begun
Refuse to call it quits ‘cause we can’t lose forever
This is where we stand
Now, we’re all playing ‘til the end
The first album I've listened to from this guy, on his youtube channel. At first I wasn't sure about how I liked it, but Umber Tower sold it to me, and I eventually came to love all of his music. I FINALLY got around to buying all of the albums! Yay! My other favorite has to go to Umber Tower Donald Wilson
This is my favorite album from Hungry lights, because it sounds fucken cool. As well as the story of Prill overcoming the three gods "miraculously" since he cannot die. Zizbaja
