guessworK Lyrics by brakence
Died deep, waiting lapse
Caught in cycles, let him wane and wax
She’s tryna meet me where I’m at
I can’t expect it all to fall in my lap
But she’s praying for me
Trade good luck for her sympathy
And in time this space will hold a mass
The sand is filling up my glass
From afar, caught a glance
How bizarre? In the place of his head was a marionette’s
Whose work? It could be anyone’s guess
Brief applause, final dance
Curtain calls, and as the great strings lift me by the nape of my neck
The rainfall will settle our bet
Beautiful heat, shot through my spine like centipedes
Skin off my back, it’s ’bout time I pull my slack
I lose grip, the walls keep tabs
She said, “Are you mad?”
You waiting for an outcome you already have
You’re sitting on the egg, but it already hatched, un-split
You were wrong about the snake in the grass
From afar, caught a glimpse
How bizarre? In the place of his head was a marionette’s
Whose work? It could be anyone’s guess
Brief applause, final dance
Curtain calls, and as the great strings lift me by the nape of my neck
The rainfall will settle our bet
Nah, he hasn’t been the same since
Put a name to him, wouldn’t face it, won’t flinch
He skipped the line, finally having his own dreams tonight
He got his eyes glazed, the gaze distant
They bent my arms back, really, I’m no different
And with a small cast, I’m in no condition to draw suspicion
No one knows, so I keep waitin’
Through the fog, caught a glance
How bizarre? In the place of his head was a marionette’s
Whose work? It could be anyone’s guess
Brief applause, final dance
Curtain calls, and as the great strings lift me by the nape of my neck
The rainfall will settle our-
A mistake, a siren wails
Someone else’s night unraveling while I stand still
Fresh air-
-but with a smile on my face
Pour it all out, fuck it, away
