Cecil Otter - Marathon lyrics

[Intro: Sims] I had this dream that I was floating I had this dream that I was on top of the tallest building And I could see everything around me And I crept my toes over the edge I had this dream that I was floating I had the dream that I was on top And I crept my toes over the edge And I dropped everything I was holding [Verse 1: Sims] I'm tearing down all these outmoded ideas about now How it's going, what it is, and how it sounds And I walk like midnight city in my grip like Won't let it slip until I get light I'm burning all these old bodies, holding no vigils See which pieces send smoke signals No combing the ash, let the breeze sort it out Boarded-out, that house I tore it down [Hook: Mike Mictlan] When it all boils down there's nothing but bones left When it all boils down there's nothing but bones left When it all boils down there's nothing but bones left When it all boils down there's nothing but bones left Nothing but bones left, nothing but bones [Verse 2: Dessa] And it's the same safe But the codes won't work Guess the joke's on me Looks like I'm on first The map got turnt Or the river took out the bridge But we can't get out The way that we came in The compa** needle is sticking The numbers step out of sequence The stars here look hardly like the ones from last season And we've been leaking diesel since the first freeze You can leave the car keys in it I'm getting out Each brick is a pixel Each step is a stitch in the dust Gra** it'll whistle Buzzed by the breath in your lungs Get your day in the sun to be young Streamers on the handlebars Soft d** and underwire Love's a funny animal Be careful what you tell yourself Fairy tales and anecdotes Both dangerous for amateurs Born hunter-gatherers Agriculture-made matadors Now given all we've wanted for We watch it on the monitors [Verse 3: Mike Mictlan] And you won't know me by incisors or metacarpus Claim carca**, head on the wall, body starting the metamorphose They say we bitterly hold grudge Distorted intent, well consider the sources Cow tongue, it's utterly horsesh** Huddled up, the rudder stuck, redirected our forces Polyamory: f** everybody We devoted to the family, balance against the gravity Self-hate, rediscovered inside misandry Clean slate, my desire to rule the man in me Fever for fire, the flame vapor, the skin paper, the blood thicker Vein fill up sure as a shape-shifter Follow forward with the sense of the spot blown Call it origin, everything before it the Dead Zone Underworld nan-god indivisible No subliminal, every bit of ma** is not critical Deity Retired, just remember I lived Cause you won't know me by my skull or my rib Locked in, clocked out Yeah it is what it is Just remember I lived Cause you won't know me by my skull or my rib Locked in, clocked out Yeah it is what it is [Hook] [Verse 4: Cecil Otter] And I'm running to home, it's running me dry I loved the road but love can be blind Covered in gold, covered in pride Under an oath, under-disguised And suffered the smoke stuck in your eyes And we priced it, sold its name, nine sips of Novocaine I sit inside a cell and side with the kinda hell That likes when you show its pain Lives off your fear of heights Strikes when it's all the same, and it's feeling like Like it's a say anything moment The reckonings are everywhere, the mezzanine's closing So I ain't holding nothing on safety Running up the towers, I was running on empty Break me, shape me under the knife Raise me up til I'm grown, break another device to set free Shake the love of my life, tell them nothing was wrong Tell me nothing was right, prestige [Hook] [Verse 5: Sims] This time I slit the throat ruthless Profuse rouges out the wound Washing out these blueprints Hammers to these lead balloons Cement shoes and useless abuses {​Leave the wolf--leave the wolf}​ Leave the wolf toothless I had this dream that I was floating Free from these explosions in the subtle Cuffs uncoupled When I woke wildfire turned the broken into rubble Turned myself into molten Poured out what isn't potent [Hook] [Break: Sims] I had this dream that I was floating [Verse 6: P.O.S.] Uh, respect given where it's livin' Peace to non-violents populating the prisons Bag of dicks, follow the money track Chew on that if you profit off of somebody's back Atlas with the standards Sickle's sharp and red as f** with my hammer Chisel tippin', chisel chippin', shaping scenery Hit the prism, catch a vision, whiff of unity Let 'em dip and sweat and trip out on the tryptamines Instead of feeling it's better living through chemistry Or probably extra feeling everything Hyper-realing the f** out of nights because days sting And playthings save sentiments Pain brings them same things to resent and quit So it's a chest full of broke toys And no noise is loud enough to drown me Got your boy turning every knob to the right Every bu*ton with an arrow up crushed 'Til my vision is bright white Mute the dialogue, watch the lips move Change the script around, make that bullsh** tight I been a real self-starter Found myself swimmingly, real hot water Since I was young I seem to feel this harder These guys are f**ing kidding me World made for LARPers I tend to ghost, knapsack, arrow, and stealth Full of mean and a copy of Health Is in You! Sometimes it be like that Just gotta put the pipe down and get your feelings back, ya heard? Kids, spitting on teens Pulling down cloud nine, pissing on dreams sh**ting on em, it's real bodily for me right now I'm 'bout to body somebody and barf Every fluid 'cept the good one Giver everyday 'til every city is in ruins And Bash 'til I'm burger Hashtag No Kings, crash y'alls server
