lyrics

KVG:
all of your heroes did ****
charlie parker pantomiming
pierrot pitiful
parroting prose
haunted pirouette
the artist merry go
track marks like marigolds
because the martyr said so
it’s parody
sad clown put the sax down before the last slouch on his dads couch
and got what he wanted
apparently
passed down from a long line of high death rate near do well stunt double hopefuls
that wrapped round the block
like a rubber band stretched around a bicep
low fi
hi def
low res
hi tech
high risk
high art
poisonous archetypes
that we tried to emulate
like who gon' wave goodbye next?
oscar wilde tutorial
made a norman mailer outta oil painter
you know how the story goes.
can you feel it in your bones?
the thought that you migh kill
if it wasn’t for your poems?
hyperbole.
or do you think you cracked the code?
pass it off as real
based on cancerous pseudo-romantic tragedy-stricken performances of a biopic
seek out suffering hopin to validate a song
take it from a carcass
whether black tar plugs or
tarred lungs
you're an artist
despite any darkness or fault
not because
and I’ll scream it til I’m blue like the hue of the ghost that I wish heard all this

Defcee:
Navigating unfamiliar terrain.
Tracked and mapped it. Bad habits had bills spinning in the drain.
Slideshows of harm I caused in purgatory. Mercy’s gone,
so I guess I’ll slip another clip into the frame.
Tragicomic–paralyzed flesh on the smiling half.
Idiot savant exhibit: writing behind the glass,
or dealing with diaper rash, cleaning cradle cap.
Told my daughter I loved her. She never has to say it back.
A time warp constantly opens and closes while I’m living
moment to moment and coping with loathing.
Logan’s broken blades appeared to sharpen in the bone scan.
Decoded the matrix before I’m absorbed in the program.
Think I’m past the point of praying to an oil painting.
Hopelessness roaming my head, and it’s been noisy lately.
Crescendos crumbling into downbeats.
Performing live between where the gods hide and the clouds sleep.
