Emancipator - Momento Mori lyrics

Tip your cups, to the late night writing binge Of stage fright, another playwright dies again I reach for great heights and play my violin On my vocal chords where the great whites hide within I'm neglectin' broken veins and the ventricles that break When I'm hiding what I feel in a Texas Hold 'Em face I better fold that ace, and find a past time Pride has flat-lined and my pedestal's at stake Reality's orphan kid, casualty abortion vict' Journalist of worth, personality contortionist My claws scrape the granite Scratchin' pain poems in hallways I'm trapped in I think of Colepaugh taking his final breath And the bullets that he lodged in David McDonald's chest I swear to god that I felt the bullets too In a homicide, suicide I sing the ocean blues Hear the sounds, of a thousand broken spirits A man who wouldn't lie and a crowd who won't endear it Confessions of a clown that's sounding so sincere when He always faced the ground, wrote it down in quotes and lyrics I've got a ghost, but he never stays in touch Another hole to dig and another grave to love Another fifth is gone, another day that s**s Another dream is dead as the summer fades to dusk I gotta find the time of day when I'm awake and no I'm not afraid to migrate and hide away alone And every single song I make is another piece of my Peace of mind, if I fall in line and swallow pride I'll (choke) On rum and cokes, I'm runnin' low on beer and weekend booze Just to ink a song and singalong right here to sing to you I'm out of love and tired and I'm sounding uninspired When I'm drinking 'til I puke without a single reason to With a one one two, when I con-front you When I do all the things that the f** ups do Come to another place, undo lovin' mistakes When I'm summonin' something abundant I'm lovin' instead of just runnin' away A-way to look past this is gaze through look gla**es Semantics pa**ions practiced actions and that's it when I catch wind in an-tics (I wrote this for you Phoenix... listen) Every single night I pray my letters form a kiss And it blows through the wind until it rests upon her lips A metamorphosis that the bu*terflies imagine In undecided fashion when weather storms emit She settles scores with this and I just sit enchanted As fireflies dance until her wish is granted I listen frantic to melodies of heartbreak It feels so temporary but she's telling me it's always I'd die in hell so my angel's not alone And I'd swim inside her blood for a fatal drop of hope Just to prove our engagements are soluble And dance to the chorus when the rain hits the solitude And breaks into molecules, that's her Another piece of me that feels but can't hurt I stand firm, in this apocalyptic breeze Until I finally fall apart and then my confidence is breached And I'm gone... and I'm gone...
