Lyrics for Stenography

Yakub blew up the moon Post fallout we kept it pushing That's just the jewel 59,999 ways to confuse Miss info Baby with the bathwater out the window Won't compute Scared my skinfolk Fictive kinship explode Romare to rimbaud Stretch before u bend Bite before you break Magnetic dub Tracing all the shapes Before they make you forget From the mud like straw in the bricks Of a walled city Cloaked In plain sight It wasn't to hype some sort of mystery They came in the night Ransack Conquests and biddings Erasing what was thought hidden Lost tongue Babylons babel Blank disc still spinning Rosetta Stone Drive corrupted Overwrite Give it to me Clutched close Closer Closest Vultures come eventually Illustrious Epoch By a millennia Backwards but never linear Glimmering Glimmering Glimmering Glimmering Glimmering Glimmering Glimmering That city shimmering amidst the dunes, shining Burning plastic in burn pits, the fumes writhing Whirling dervish dancing with the violin, feet light and nimble The answer is simple, they insist Grit my teeth through the worst part of the grift Airbrush every pit I tried to keep something I tried to hide it away Winston smith I tried to live inside But you already know how it go with the pigs They had your little piggies in the fire You was smelling delicious Last gasp of empire, they promise, they're liars Catch me in a bonnet, gas mask Might cut your power Keep fucking with the cable wire Wake up tired Sleep geeked Retweet She text and delete Delete Delete Text Delete Black teeth drawn with pliers from soft black gums Jamaican rum yes but not those
