lyrics

out land if you cannot out run
then you've got to try and tuck it by yourself
i know what i want is bigger than a body
got to trick what haunts me
not to fall industry all alone

i know there's not too much of hope
in the darkness groping
how to be composed...

out here in the field getting so muddy
i cut up all these tree limbs--they are not of me
permission to go slow,
ambition to let go
the earth will fight back with all that she knows.
i wonder of the crows
who fly above the soul
and plant the seeds for all that's our own

the earth is meant for singing on

so why wait for the buildings to come on down in
chemical reactions that white men are laughing?
oh community, i am spending all my time on screens
the ancestors are watching me as i build my body queer
the first in the line of many that are not built by fear
the last in the land of plenty, i'm ordering myself
to become more than slumping
i know that there is help
i grow into the spirit that i will always chase after

who was the one that put the fake mustache on
to become someone else?
who was on the that put the fake mustache on
to play in a basement
a game of 31
i know that grandma's watching
as go i out walking - trying not to stop these thoughts...

do i always place my body in front of the camera
do i always need somebody to tell me what i'm after?
do i always need to prove that i am no disaster?
i wonder if the groove will ever out live all this cancer?

oh the pain that i've become
gets worst as i grow numb
an orchid in full bloom...
the phases of the moon
i gather summer's pyrite,
the weeping in my spine
is it supposed to be...?

from ashes to ashes and dust to dust
i hope i out live every one of us
through my protection and my own correction...i will roam

don't play the fool when you fool yourself into thinking that there's nothing greater than your mental health
$6.99 for a dozen donuts
and if you 69 then you know that you can own it
$6.99 for a dozen donuts
i call up my cousin cause i don't know how to hold it
$6.99 for a dozen donuts
i call up my cousin cause i don't know how to hold it

who was the one that put the fake mustache on
to become someone else?
who was on the that put the fake mustache on
to play in a basement
a game of 31
i know that grandma's watching
as go i out walking - trying not to stop...

from ashes to ashes and dust to dust
I know that I will out live everyone of my bad thoughts

for myself and others
who's got the general purpose
who's got the sort of feeling
that plays us to the surface
that sees that we are reeling
a mind is just a spiral
a brain is just a soul
and you don't need to let go of control to feel it now
to feel it somehow.

live bigger than I've ever lived before
I want to forgive myself when I walk through that door
I don't need permission to put my ears flat against the earth
that tells me that she loves me in a myriad of ways
that tells me there's no reason to be afraid of life
and to just understand I'm here to enjoy myself
without letting go of my ethics
without underestimating that we're all a little crazy
and the music that perpetuates my life
is supposed to be what it's supposed to be
(music)
