Coming apart and coming away
Some mistakes were made then and some were made today
The union didn't stand together and the reunion choked
Slick fingers were pink and smooth, but his were all broke
1*34 Don't try too hard
1*34 Don't try too hard
They said he had a lifetime guarantee
No one could take it, but no one transmission lies under the poison eye
Their guts sewn up with dissolving rubber bands
This is how it stands
What ere once suspicions now confirmed
But the smoke rose up and he couldn't mark the place
He has to feel he's closing in on something
But then the body overtakes the face
Mary Jane the pain couldn't stand in her new high heels
Coconut milk pimp got cut
Now he knows how it feels
1*34 Don't try too hard
1*34 Don't try too hard
Throwing stuff off the overpass
He spotted a fruit truck's tarp being set up for him to make the drop
Traded his quarters for a spanish orange
Caught a ride on a liquid nitrogen truck that stopped
Can't stay around to nail it down
Til a switch gets thrown in the atmosphere of the nested echo branch
That can't be done 'til he can shine it on
Hard you hit the question
Fast it reappears
Put up and shut it up
Cheap, its only skin
Trying hard, trying stupid
You'd never discover what kind of trail you're in
Morphic Resident
When I first met you I didn't understand the game
Now I don't hard to cuz you've given me a name
Locusts down inside of me (?)
Eating off the tree
Since no one knows what we do, honey
None of us need leaves
Ahead of the pack, against the grain
Leaning up against the counter in the takeout lane
Morphic resident, you helped me change my mind
Morphic resident, you do it every time
If you want to take a little time off
If you want to take the phone off the line
I ain't complaining, no, as long as you come back
Come back and try
