Ambient pop from the basement. The first track in a year-long monthly series.
lyrics
Getting up
All the wrong kinds of weight
Weaving racebaiting
Five days a week
For pleasing rent
and a culture you learn early
Can't be bought, can be spent
It's not easy
-
Porous walls
Or wagging tongues
Gentlemen
With no time to speak
Underjoyed
With a fervor unchecked
By the overfed ouroboros
It's not easy
-
Flash of backflips
Dimmer switch wit
Rise of a wave
From birth to grave
You can get saved
