lyric homework 001:

so, it's at least a week late, but i finally forced myself to do it.


he's not quite as quiet as you think
a life's worth of bile built up behind the teeth
pushing hard, finding cracks, it wants release
part the stained ivories and let it be free
too many z's, so numb from the humdrum
the run of dumb sums, repeats of junked suns
can't seem to do none but bite his thumb
at the on your mark, get set, when you hear the gun run
every day's a new blank page for the eulogy
with bricks stacked foolishly, haphazard as usual, see
he pays the usury charged to those with fool's degree
knows the get-by set life's never been duty free
he can't ignore his constant throat tics
when he finally exhales, finds his voice calls out this
how can i hum some monotone bliss
when i know the results are all false or fixed?



this is pretty much not anywhere near where i expected to go with it. but i guess that's how it goes. i probably won't use it for what i was planning to use it for now, unless i rework it. a lot. but it's alright.

feel free to leave more topic/first line suggestions for future installments in the comments. i think the next one will be just straight up brag rap stuff. for a song someone wants me on. and i won't do it til after the christmas song stuff is done. so it may be a few weeks.
