Short Fuse

Back back back porch
Second step down overbearing tree apricotti on the ground
Life's conveyor belt pulling me, barley nineteen teeter totter the beam
This ravine cut by a stream, the honey got sweeter with a couple of stings
All the way crazy no spaces in between
Loyalty shattered like a thrown beer bottle
Lean into the turn peddle down full throttle
The elders speak but never did I listen
Cuz all I ever heard was a lit fuse hiss'n
Hiss'n hiss'n

Short fuse burning in slow motion

San Pedro, at the edge of town
Sunken city where the cliffs are falling down
Same soul arbitrary consequences on the phone with ex's
Talkin' bout 2nd chances
Made it back home pops was long gone
Well the snow pack melts and the river flows on
All that I resisted came Back around
The sad and unlucky they were pulling me down
Chasing fortune left me stuck in one spot
Had it in my sights but I never took my shot
I never took my desparo
No No no no
Never took a desparo

In the basement, far room on the right
reach for the string and I pull on the light
So much heartache and I finally found out
See the holes I fell in I learned to climb out

Uinta stars, sleeping with the quakes
My eyes realized all the phonies n fakes
The honey got sweeter with a couple of stings
All the way crazy no spaces in between
The elders gonna speak but no ones gonna listen
Cuz all they ever heard was A lit fuse hiss'n

Short fuse burning in slow motion

Exploding like a cherry bomb so now we get it on
Tried to squeeze all the the good but all the juice was Gone
Peering through the diamond of a chain link
What I knew
What I know
And maybe baby might think
Such agility so invasive, obtuse faces try to be persuasive
Sun disappearing gloss has turned flat like an abandoned Penny
That's smashed up on the train track
Swinging like a barn door, china blue condor
Wrecking the connection And I reckon that I want more
Game is rigged don't be confused got me scared stiff like a statue starring at a

Short fuse burning in slow motion

Back porch 2nd step down over bearing tree apricotti on the ground
Life's conveyer belt pulling me
Barely 19 Teeter totter the beam
This ravine cut by a stream the honey got sweeter with a couple stings
All the way crazy no Spaces in between cuz all ever heard was a lit fuse hiss'n
