Marathon

I had this dream that I was floating / I had this dream that I was floating / I
had this dream that I was on top of the tallest building / and I could see
everything around me / and I crept my toes over the edge / I had this dream
that I was floating / I had the dream that I was on top / and I crept my toes
over the edge / and I dropped everything I was holding / I’m tearing down all
these outmoded ideas about now / how it’s going, what it is, and how it sounds
/ and I walk like midnight city in my grip / like I won’t let it slip until I
get light / I’m burning all these old bodies, holding no vigils / see which
pieces send smoke signals / no combing the ash, let the breeze sort it out /
boarded-out, that house I tore it down
(Hook)
When it all boils down there’s nothing but bones left / When it all boils down
there’s nothing but bones left / When it all boils down there’s nothing but
bones left / When it all boils down there’s nothing but bones left / Nothing
but bones left, nothing but bones
(Dessa)
And it’s the same safe / but the codes won’t work / Guess the joke’s on me /
looks like I’m on first / The map got turnt / or the river took out the bridge
/ but we can’t get out / the way that we came in / The compass needle is
sticking / the numbers step out of sequence / the stars here look hardly like
the ones from last season / And we’ve been leaking diesel since the first
freeze / you can leave the car keys in it / I’m getting out / Each brick is a
pixel / each step is a stitch in the dust / Grass it’ll whistle / buzzed by the
breath with your lungs / Get your day in the sun to be young / streamers on the
handlebars / soft drugs and underwire / Love’s a funny animal / be careful what
you tell yourself / fairy tales and anecdotes / both dangerous for amateurs /
Born hunter-gatherers / agriculture made matadors / now given all we’ve wanted
for / we watch it on the monitors
(Mike)
And you won’t know me by incisors or metacarpus / Claim carcass,
head on the wall, body starting the metamorphose / They say we Bitter-ly hold
grudge / distorted intent, well consider the sources / Cow tongue,
it’s utterly horseshit / huddled up, the rudder stuck, redirected our forces /
Polyamory, fuck everybody / we devoted to the family, balance against the
gravity / Self hate rediscovered inside misandry / Clean slate, my desire to
rule the man in me / Fever for fire, the flame vapor, the skin paper,
the blood thicker / vein fill up sure as a shape shifter / Follow forward with
the sense of the spot blown / Call it origin, everything before
it the Dead Zone / Underworld nan-god indivisible / No subliminal,
every bit of mass is not critical / Deity Retired, just remember I lived / cuz
you won’t know me by my skull or my rib / Locked in, clocked out / yeah it is
what it is / just remember I lived / cuz you won’t know me by my skull or my
rib / Locked in, clocked out / yeah it is what it is
(Hook)
(Cecil)
And I’m running to home, it’s running me dry / I loved the road but love can be
blind / covered in gold, covered in pride / under an oath, under disguise /
suffered the smoke stuck in your eyes / And we priced it, sold its name,
nine sips of Novocain / I sit inside a cell and side with the kinda hell /
that likes when you show its pain / lives off your fear of heights and strikes
when it’s all the same / And it’s feeling like / like it’s a say anything
moment / the reckonings are everywhere, the mezzanine’s closing / so I ain’t
holding nothing on safety / running up the towers, I was running on empty /
Break me, shape me under the knife / raise me up til I’m grown, break another
device to set free / Shake the love of my life, tell them nothing was wrong /
tell me nothing was right, prestige
(Hook)
(Sims)
This time I slit the throat ruthless / profuse rouges out the wound / washing
out these blueprints / hammers to these lead balloons / cement shoes and
useless abuses / leave the wolf toothless / I had this dream that I was
floating / free from these explosions in the subtle / cuffs uncoupled / When I
woke wildfire turned the broken into rubble / turned myself into molten /
poured out what isn’t potent
(Hook)
(Stef)
Respect given where it’s livin / peace to non-violents populating the prisons /
Bag a dicks follow the money track / chew on that if you profit off of
somebody’s back / Atlas with the standards / sickle sharp and red
as fuck with my hammer / chisel tippin, chisel chippin, shaping scenery / hit
the prism, catch a vision, whiff of unity / Let em dip and sweat and trip out
on the tryptamines / instead of feelin it’s better livin through chemistry / or
prolly extra feelin everything / Hyperrealing the fuck outta nights because
days sting / and playthings save sentiments / pain brings them same things to
resent and quit / So it’s chest fulla broke toys / and no noise is loud enough
to drown me / Got ya boy turning every knob to the right / every button with an
arrow up crushed / til my vision is bright white / Mute the dialogue,
watch the lips move / change the script around, make that bullshit tight / I
been a real self-starter / found myself swimmingly, real hot water
