Mantras

Every time I pour my coffee I'm surrounded by the spirits
Of the thousand and one times I have addressed it in my lyrics
Am I already passè before I've even had a go
And now my motivation's zero and my latte's getting cold
Seven years feel like a million
One shattered pane in some lost pavilion
Outside of memory, mind shade vermillion
Somehow unfriendly for antsy children
I, hit a front flip, land on my face,
It was more of a trip we were having a race
And I fell through the ground, I was floating in space
And I met my own psyche went face to face with it
Worst enemy in the worst case
Scenario I erase the area
Re-embrace the carrion
I had graced the ground with my wound
Snapped back ears ringing
The words that came through were
I regard myself sublime, evil and naked
Fight the laundry for the space it has invaded
Prove again I am so easily persuaded
Would the mirror hurt me if I were to break it
I regard myself sublime, evil and naked
Fight the laundry for the space it has invaded
Prove again i am so easily persuaded
I'm a hidden door in the gothic sense
The outside come off as way more intense
Than the coddled lens that I keep inside
As a last defense to preserve my pride
When the doctor comes he says I'm alive
I say are you sure cuz I thought I died
When I found the silver gate split my skull
I turned tail and fled the impossible
And now I wade through pits of mud and awful carnage
Cease to fill the gut with offal, starving
Like I was to sink in marianas
I'm a pressurized canister, in other words a goner
Impaled for everyone's enjoyment like a doner kebab
Used to the supposition music is a comedy job
Just lob a softball, it cant hurt, I'm hollow
Spit my mantras in the mirror they're as follows
I regard myself as ruler of the serpents
Fight the urges to continue without purpose
Prove again I have no need for heavy curtains
Would the mirror shatter if I were to hurt it
I regard myself at home in hidden temples
Every fight i must relearn not to be gentle
Feed the body with a glut of rice and lentils
Every mirror I reflect in shows a rental
I regard myself as idiosyncratic
Fight the rivers when the aquifer is manic
Hide the body in a dresser in the attic
Every mirror fills the frontal lobe with static
I regard myself angelic on occasion
Fight the carceral for rehabilitation
Prove again that all success will leave me craven
Would the mirror just reflect I am amazing
I regard myself sublime, evil and naked
Fight the laundry for the space it has invaded
Prove again I am so easily persuaded
Would the mirror hurt me if I were to break it
I regard myself sublime, evil and naked
Fight the laundry for the space it has invaded
Prove again I am so easily persuaded
