Well, so we meet again
(He said he’s grown spiritually since the last one)
OK, this is the dawning of the book of bitter aspects
Where the jackals sit and watch the pedigods last flesh
Poison functions accompanied by six armor clad
Black horse and buggy mechanism
Tugged a portion of my severed vision
The gathering of loose ends in a bucket
Wit a shoestring budget
Every man’s got a field to plow (I know that now)
But it’s like, man I really can’t afford the oxen
Fee fie et cetera
I smell the warm blood of the bill collector knockin’
I get awkwardly sturdy with a frigid liquid backbone
I get swept in the pressure cooker tryin’ to paddle back home
I get sprung with a vibe and alliance of clean intention
By eclipsing doom midigons hatched to bash these picket fences
Now I’ll attend the wedding of the open sword festering
Now when the groom presents the ring
The bride commence to blistering
This textbook magnificently crude
Prototype king berserker modulate
Serve the vertical thirst, burst horizontal
Treasure, loose cannons span the star bit power
The clipper ship dipped in truth famine pressure
Cabin fever meter pegging ludicrous
Beautiful cartoon trooper
swallow brutal futility with a teaspoon full of sugar
I rock ready aim fire, while y’all rock ready fire aim
Then blame the stationary target when the prey escapes the frame
Merit badge marksman, a poacher, it’s all the same
So I lay across the woods perpendicular to the grain
I gotta be a big bang, gotta be
Never want to be hear a probably, I want to see or hear a “Yes sir, sir”
YES SIR!
Armed with a tome, cross, sore to the bone
Warn the other brothers that was born forlorn
Big bang, sharper than a big dick
Hotter than a tunnel of big dreams that think big things
I’m a burn with this little light of mind
and a prime concern to earn thanks, I’m a be a big bang
I want to be a big bang,
Never want to be hear a probably, I want to see or hear a “Yes sir, sir”
YES SIR!
Armed with a tome, cross, sore to the bone
Warn the other brothers that was born forlorn
Big bang, sharper than a big dick
Hotter than a tunnel of big dreams that think big things
I’m a burn with this little light of mind
and a prime concern to earn thanks, I’m a be a big bang
I’m just a survivor of the woolly mammoth population
Bottle neck effect, sorta born deaf
Alien of shallow alchemy
If you gon’ meta-morph the basemetal to precious
Might as well steal from the rich, bewitch the peasants
I’m floating the homing pigeon out hell’s kitchen window
Left an SOS infested bottle nestled in his grip so
With a prayer circle release party and hardy wild bellow
I observed him fly ten feet then dropped the bottles to the devils
Fertile circle turn pertal crescent via bad investment
Despised every second, but I GUESS I LEARNED MY LESSON!
If I made an angel in the snow for every rotted victim
There’d be wings to float this mother ship up out the goblin system
Sticky panoramic contaminate planet
In conjunction with phantom assumption
Gutterbug alumnus candidates
Well, I promise you I man the lighthouse
Just to help guide in your ship
If you promise to help pull this hook out my lip (bitch)
Godspeed, straitjacket and ragged approach
To circle suns via folklore pollutants to rhyme strictly
From a BC generation disgust
Community movement alluding to a
“No blood given, no recognition”
Life matter, I was us up all night with a rusty hammer
Trying to build a fence around these magic beans my dreams are gathered
But uh, that certain lack of avail
I sail a choppy lie with buoyancy like a bucket of rocks (a bucket of rocks)
I gotta be a big bang, gotta be
Never want to be hear a probably, I want to see or hear a “Yes sir, sir”
YES SIR!
Armed with a tome, cross, sore to the bone
Warn the other brothers that was born forlorn
Big bang, sharper than a big dick
Hotter than a tunnel of big dreams that think big things
I’m a burn with this little light of mind
and a prime concern to earn thanks, I’m a be a big bang
I want to be a big bang,
Never want to be hear a probably, I want to see or hear a “Yes sir, sir”
YES SIR!
Armed with a tome, cross, sore to the bone
Warn the other brothers that was born forlorn
Big bang, sharper than a big dick
Hotter than a tunnel of big dreams that think big things
I’m a burn with this little light of mind
and a prime concern to earn thanks, I’m a be a big bang
Big bang, bi-big bang
It’s gettin’ bigger by the second
Check it
OK, I’m here to rock the tugboat and bare the others farewell
I shook the buddy system wisdom till the similar repel
I sell a barrel of spirit to dummy dimwits syndicate jackals
I’m broken arrow to the fuckin’ bone (broken poem)
I don’t really believe in God
But God, I’m scared to death of God?
I swear to God, I never meant to spill the beans
Nor tear the pod
It’s like I hike an acre unimpressed
And slept on the saber’s edge
Enough times to splice anti-Christ’s favorite pledge
I want to know myself
Sorta solo sheep amidst wolves
And still my shepherd can’t administer the proper push and pulls
I push the ghouls to man overboard
Pull the bulls onto my sword
And buckle down in a corner chair with a round table floor
Got an angel on my left shoulder, a devil on the polar
Got a mug a frigid, got a mug a solar, slide over
The recipe’s design unplug the appetite continuity
By stitching together esteemed congruent (beautifully)
I peel back carts and lodge Greek physics in the chambers
Quartarized the wound and heads like “Gimme gimme something major”
Road side prophetic, ascend well
enveloped in a mummy ribbon system
Blistering in a wishing well
BIG BANG!
