[Verse 1]
Vampires, inchworms, campfires, left turns
I’ve been tryna learn the things that no man can teach you
Pharaohs, monarchs, figureheads and false starts
Built a bond of vigilance that no man can reach
Cyanide simplified, humility homogenized
Delighting in the swan dive so take me to the beach
The passion of the crucifix, unmasking your uselessness
Basking in the latency that takes me to the brink
Tone-deaf but listening, smooth stones to philistines
From the sling I bring, it's open to those who think
Bearded lady complex, sleep until you’re conscious
The context is based upon the sheering of the sheep
Manipulated blindfolds can see the fear that time holds
Conceding to the wishing well, we all should take a drink
Sit and watch the climate change
Melt away the science of the game
Take a chance and get to dancing in the streets
Lost in translation, a broken transmission
The addiction to patients is based upon instinct
Nicknames and outliers, chain-gangs, nail biters
A spoon full of sugar and the recipe’s complete
Ink escapes the quill tip, ceilings don't exist
The solar system is my pool hall
I’m chalking up my stick to give defeat, I'm not a savior
And I am not a crook, in fact I wanna be your neighbor so let’s build and share the labor like that
Vampires, inchworms, campfires, left turns

The passion of the crucifix, unmasking your uselessness
