lyrics

kyanite

talking out of the backside of my mouth
like I got something good to crow about
i'll leave it on the altar
or put it in a play
and i wont have to believe

got the stones
to receive a solar wave
instead of employing a mountain or a cave
I may dissolve my head
until I'm dead
tap an infinite bleed

know that I'm insane
it’s not just a trick of your eye
but holy shit,
I’m in the heights and I’m gonna
abuse them while I’m young, you know
because I seen how I shine
in those hands

gotta make the metaphor more real
gotta marry the thinky and the feels
and if I know more about
blue than you
it's just a fact that i heed

And maybe Jesus was a mushroom
in my mind and maybe he's not
meant to take up permanent residence in
someone’s head, when after all, you know,
they say he was only a ‘visitor’

know that I'm insane
it's not just a trick of your eye.
full stop, no surprise
I’m in the heights now
this is a fight
holy shit
lost time on my last legs but now they’re gone
because I seen how I shine
in those hands

Gobi on ten toes
or a lap in Antarctica
can’t even sleep no more
get up with the sun before
I’m old

so far gone I'm bout to just peace out
and find myself in the woods
told him he should wait it out
but I already knew what I would
No I'm never gonna leave this town with
my tail between my legs
gotta bag of seeds to sow instead
make the most of my infrared head
