Almost Human 02:35
A destitute aficionado, recluse with a bottle Playing loose going full throttle shatterin’ all the models Try it twice was the motto that got me this bravado Play it like the lotto ‘till the screams push the envelope I coddled the bottle ‘till the liquor made me wobble Swallowed all the sorrow ‘till the whiskey pardoned tomorrow Spent more than I borrowed, that’s a capitalist’s cargo Sorry never spared me the emptiness of this plateau Smiled like a scarecrow, shot like an arrow Spoke like a pharaoh wrapped up and reduced to bone marrow Walked the straight and narrow and all I got was an ego Acted like the hero but all they saw was a weirdo ¿Hola mi amor, puedo ir contigo? ¿Te sientes solo cuando no estás conmigo? I’ve learned a thing or two and added it to my lingo Got my ducks in a row like life’s a game of bingo Whenever I’m with her I feel like I’m halfway to real I’m almost human ‘cause she’s got me head over heels Syncopate the synchrony to comfort the company The physics of a slippery slope prevent me from being me So I’m smokin’ Sour D sliding into daydreams Slid into her DM’s and she awoke my love with ease Sometimes that leaves me trapped at the bottom of a ravine ‘Cause I’m so caught in my head you’d think my skull had teeth Diving headfirst into doubt before the ground I’m on gives out My disorder speaks but never look a gift horse in the mouth ‘Cause when you do you’ll see that only the truth ever comes out And that inkling of doubt is just your head wigging out A pauper and a prince, I’m the messiah to all masochists A pervert and a prude calling this mess what it is A hypocrite curtailing bliss for a figment of a tryst Antisocial atheist misdirecting spastic fits I’ve distorted my senses with discordian ethics Resorted to methods other deemed unpleasant To send forth a message of wasted adolescence And fed my depression through sordid transgressions I’ve explored the wreckage and been imploringly reckless Reduced my dimension to being reluctantly sentenced Inundated my presence with debauched lessons Of delinquent intentions that preserve my essence I’ve relinquished my control over escaping this terror Because a single day spent living is never in error I’ll continue to proceed through the stormiest weather Because I believe with all my heart things will get better They secure their success with rock the vote Novembers So we’ll secure our survival by becoming dissenters We’ll reduce these monuments to smoldering embers Because all they stand for is the illusion of shelter I’ve submitted to the discomfort of this specter Learned to thrive in the darkness under extreme pressure Made the gallows my home rather than just a measure To sacrifice my blood and bones for her love forever And whether or not we can embrace this gesture I’ll always think of you and I as a treasure So always remember when you start to feel weathered Grass is greener on the other side ‘cause the climate is wetter
