about

(Davison/Johnson)

lyrics

Off the harvard harvested
This arsonist is harnessed in
with linguistic spit sinister
Finishing lit swishers in minutes
A slick riddler slips syllables
Into this pit of unfillables
Skillet in which rhythm is grilling
Killing these kids
So I'll bump the dutch to the light
And let the blunts breathe
What speed are you kids playing with?
What BPM are you kids playing with?
ADHD and MXE can lead to seeing satanist
Visions in which a schism's got the world split
And you don't know which fucking religion will get you up there
And mentioned so I've been ducking and dipping
And searching for a secret hideaway
I found it in the light of day where my mind can play
In circles like a pendulum burning herbal and break out the earl
Turn it in a swirl then you're done
And the letters run off the page with fine print
Sold it for plays need be reminded there's lions
Roaring up from the underground speak in silences
That sounds like a thunder cloud
One hundred ounces in the boxes of legos
Sounds like green bricks if you've gotten the memo
All my friends spit hotter than the top of a kettle
