Lyrics

I write my rhymes in calligraphy I don't curse so don't frig with me I shoot hoops by myself And I don't watch basketball on television I sell religion relatively cheap from my bedroom window I swallowed myself when you said you've been low I throw a big party for myself on your birthday I wish I never got into this position in the first place In the worst way I got a crush on my own reflection For my own protection I'm building up my bone collection I also shed my skin on a yearly basis It seems like my weapon of choice is clearly tasteless Why do I insist on tying my wrists? I should take a slow breath and fake my own death But I didn't start the religion, I'm only a priest In a b-boy stance like Tony Batista I'm free spirited, building three pyramids With crosses on top and an antenna, period It's really weird, nearly every year for much of autumn I sink down deeper and deeper until I touch the bottom I see with my hands and walk through a dark entrance Climb all the trees and sit on the park benches This is what I always wanted A lonely old man picks up a stone to admire its shape Later that night he falls down the stairs of a fire escape Nobody knew his name A sixteen year old football star named Matthew Swallows some pills and spills his guts in the bathroom It's because his girlfriend dumped him or something An eight year old girl is haunted by frightening faces She cries herself to sleep on a nightly basis That's alcoholic A man desperate to satisfy his wife's cravings Goes to the bank and takes out his life savings His next stop is the casino A woman with a ring on her finger eating dinner Just found out her fiance is cheating on her He's out of town right now One of the greatest teachers there ever was Sits at home and waits for the phone to ring but it never does He's slowly going blind A tall soft spoken man named Vincent Has been in jail for twenty years even though he's innocent He's been ghosting girls from Eben-Emael A man of the cloth is on vacation Last week he broke down in front of his congregation He's losing his faith in God
