LET TODAY BE DAY ONE OF THE
FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF ALL YR PROGRESS / SLOW DEATH
IMAGINARY MAGIC THAT WILL COMPRESS / DEEP BREATHS
PRESSURE BUILDING UPSIDE YR HEAD TO DISTRESS / KEEP THREAT
LEVELS RAISED BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE
NO MATTER HOW FAR, I AM ALWAYS ON MY GUARD.

YEAH, I’M A DEVILS ADVOCATE, I ADVOCATE FOR EVIL SHIT
I BLESS NO IDOLS AND I ONLY RIDE ON THE REAL SHIT
I MAKE NO FAKES ABOUT NO COMPROMISES ON THE REAL, MISS
I BAKE A CAKE FOR ALL MY ENEMIES AND GO FOR REAL BLISS
WE ARE HURTLING THROUGH SPACE UPON A SPACESHIP EARTH
TRYING DESPERATELY TO ESCAPE AND REPLACE OUR PLACE OF BIRTH AND
TRYING IN VAIN TO RELIEVE OURSELVES OF THE DUTY TO BE
BRUTALLY REAL IN ALL OUR ACTIONS AND OUR WORDING AND
HONESTY’S THE BEST POLICY / HONESTY’S THE BEST POLICE
BUT HONESTLY IT’S EASIER TO LIE AND GO THE FUCK TO SLEEP
KEEP MY NAME OUT OF YR MOUTH IF YOU THINK THAT
I’M JOKING. MANG, HA HA. I’M GHOSTING. NOW EAT THAT.

LET TODAY BE DAY OF THE
LAST TIME THAT YOU EVER LET SOMEBODY ELSE RUN YOU
WITH UNTRUTHS THAT THEY POST UP LIKE THE
FLYERS IN A COFFEE HOUSE BATHROOM
FOR FUCKING REIKI
YOU CAN GUN THROUGH, GUMSHOE
IT’S A TYPICAL MYSTERY
BUT IF YOU WANNA SPAR I AM ALWAYS ON MY GUARD.

YEAH, I’M A DEVIL’S ADVOCATE, I ADVOCATE FOR EVIL SHIT
BUT WHEN I SAY IT’S EVIL I MEAN IN COMES FROM A DEEP DARK PIT
AND WHEN I SAY A DEEP DARK PIT I MEAN DOWN TO THE ESSENCE
LIKE THE ANSWERS THAT I GAVE ON THE BACK END OF THE QUESTION AND
WE ARE DRIVING FASTER GETTING FASTER ALL THE TIME
FUELLED BY GAS THAT HAS BEEN PAST AND MASTERED FROM THE LAND BEFORE TIME
FUELLED BY THE ASSUMPTION THAT ALL PROGRESS STILL GOES FORWARD
TILL THE ZEPPELIN EXPLODES AND IT’S HUMANITY AND HORROR
HONESTY’S A BLUEPRINT THAT IS STILL UPON THE DRAWING BOARD
WRITTEN, ERASED, ERASED AGAIN AND WRITTEN MORE
MOTHERFUCKERS TRY TO MANUFACTURE IT LIKE HENRY FORD
FUCK THAT. I’M JOKING. NAH. I’M GHOSTING, NOW EAT SOME MORE.
LET TODAY BE DAY ONE OF THE
FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF ALL YR BRIGHT DAYS / DARK NIGHTS
AND THE GRADIENT THAT FALLS BETWEEN THE LOW LOWS / HIGH HIGHS
PRESSING ALL THE TIME BETWEEN THE DAWN AND THE TWILIGHT
IT’S NOT A SIMPLE BALANCE BETWEEN OPEN WOUNDS AND SCARS
I AM ALWAYS IN MY GUARD

YEAH, I’M THE DEVIL’S ADVOCATE, I ADVOCATE FOR EVIL SHIT
MY HEART’S THE DARKEST ORGAN THAT I’M CAPABLE TO DEAL WITH
AND IF YOU MAKE ME LAUGH I CAN CONNECT YOU WITH THE REALNESS
BEFORE I RETREAT BACK INTO MY FEAR OF BEING HEALED WITH
WE ARE WOUNDED PEOPLE WOUNDING PEOPLE WITH OUR SHAME
SHIFTING FACES SHIFTING PLACES WHILE WE SHIFT THE BLAME AND
TRYING NOT TO PANIC WHEN OUR ORGANS ARE EXPOSED
BY THE FOG THAT GETS IN THROUGH THE CRACKS IN ALL THE WINDOWS
HONESTY: THE PRACTICE OF GETTING RID OF YR EDITING
HONESTY: A CRACKLING FIRE TO SHED YR EGO IN
DON’T ASK THE QUESTION IF YOU DON’T WANT THE FEEDBACK
I’M SERIOUS. DELIRIOUS. I’M GHOSTING. NOW EAT THAT.
