Mammoth Volume - Seeds in Rocky Places lyrics

How can this be poetry to talk about it? Little monsters on my shoulder crossing out words It's a choice to live by when you've eaten your friends It's a modern nightmare to interpret as you will Sages of the ages they have got me thinking Maybe I just have to play the part I'm given It's a truth without a beauty, all or nothing Talking yourself into it will leave you 200 questions that I'm dulling to a fault Another batch of things I never knew I owned Yet another shade of grey I never saw before Willing the clock to speed, I think it just might work this time I'd like to confide in you a mid-day secret I'd like to, in less than 20 words, complete it Dolls, and all they represent will teach you something Know yourself is actually to strive for godliness 200 questions that I'm dulling to a fault Another batch of things I never knew I owned Yet another shade of grey I never saw before Willing the clock to speed, I think it just might work this time Defining moments have a way of looking good Like leather bookcovers or scratched up super-8s This time especially I think I struck that pose I've got a crazy feeling things just might work out this time around
