lyrics

We live in a world where we’re told we either make it or we don’t
And if we don’t we’re just a failure so it goes
100% or none at that, that’s what they chose
Shoot for the stars, sell us rocketfuel and clothes
Proper equipment, ready for the all or nothingness
Handing us an idol target so we can chuck and miss
Another feather in the cap some NASA bucket list
But we need that luxury, deserving lusciousness
Of course, we’ve got to be presentable to join parades
A bitter pill of pride smile and thus enjoy the taste
Embroidered lace and all the finer things
I understand why the caged would bird try to sing
What’s it mean to be successful in a marketplace?
Another answer one could buy and shine in darkest space
Good job, here’s a treat, UBU is self-sufficient
That sameness returns to what we once felt was different
I sell admission in the velvet glove of felt and shrugs
Reaching for my pocket’s pen and I then felt the rust
Kid Icarus with my glider made of crimson feathers
Shoutout to Damo for bringing me back to rinse with effort
Grim endeavors with the lightness of a moment lost
We buy the farm to reap a monogram and know the cost
Driving past the place we saw first the sonogram
Now he’s the size of Grizzlies minus Ja Morant
When mama ran to hospitals when the seizures struck
The fear of not knowing how to treat a life and keep it thus
