lyrics

carry the canister and click it,
the pressure of the compressed air,
no fresh air comes with the messenger on this one
sender gets a refund,
a letter on the leg stem connected to the raven,

how does it sound on my body?
how does it sound on my red heart beat?
how does it sound on a piece of concrete?
thinking in a chemical, dressed (up) as a miracle,

pelican dive in the deep end, connect the dots,
red belly flop conceals the yellow spot,
shifting colors to confuse the hawk,
a simple game played by the chameleon skin
double dipped in the warm sink reservoir
Hotwheel color car, white hot hood cool trunk is the calling card,
yeah I remember the spending of endless summers
constructing the cardboard cockpit just for the fun of it,
toggle toggle switch, (throttle lift) copper conduit brings
artificial life to the horizon while i swallow spit,
what I created was the born baby beautiful
son of my left brain, daughter of the right brain,
mother of invention and the father of reflection,
see, I filter memories and flush out all the chaff
like a million little krill sifting through the gates of paradise,
made from husk, the mesh beard of baleen,
when the two touch, it sounds like the same thing,

how does it sound on my body?
how does it sound on my red heart beat?
how does it sound on a piece of concrete?
thinking in a chemical, dressed (up) as a miracle
