Every battle we have ever fought is a battle I have lost but I still might win the war cos i'm a stubborn one and certain that I hate to have a boss, some motherfucker keeping score (1-2-3-4) all the simple things and innocence you're hell bent to refuse, while i'm minding my own business you decide to cut me down, even now your petty jabs effect directions that I choose, but before i'm in the ground, y'all will see that -
I will never be the shell that you expect, no plans to ever reach the standards you have set, you're wrong and i don't want your advice, so long and goodbye
every order every dogma oh so subtly implied 'neath the banners of the free, my obedience deciding i'd come over to your side so you might give your love to me. And you expect i'll be like you, mimic your opinions too, never feel a single thing that you would not accept as true, you expect i'll replicate, hold and never deviate, honesty but strings attached and you are never satiated -
I will never be the shell that you expect, no plans to ever reach the standards you have set, you're wrong and i don't want your advice, so long and goodbye
I will never be the shell that you expect, no plans to ever reach the standards you have set, like salt upon a leech and a wound to disinfect, and then never to repeat and eventually forget

Spontaneous advising over the path you're going, while never realizing the fissure that is growing and they offer it for free - juicy center of a threat - painting grim realities from their pallet of regrets.
The poisen is spraying while all the while grinning, go join the game they're playing although nobodies winning, you can be sure you're not alone, it's the same record for me, singing 'all the chances -blown' but just wait and see that -
we will turn this lead into a piece of gold and i will get your worries in a sleeper hold and you will tear down all the walls that hinder me and we will build a heaven out of the debris
The echo's suggesting the same old shit again -> that everybody's destined for failure in the end, lets say for sure that they are right, we can go down with a fight, I will keep our boat a-float and you can keep our beacon light
Place your bets on:
we will turn this lead into a piece of gold and i will get your worries in a sleeper hold and you will tear down all the walls that hinder me and we will build a heaven out of the debris

well you were around when the vibe went sour, fucking chumps always gotta have power, they got me down and i got to thinking - better jump ship cos this shit's sinking and you were around but you didn't do nothin', i bet you thought fate was only bluffing and you can bow down to your subtle leader and just when he thinks that we're on the retreat
we'll flank him
don't thank him
and I was around just some years later, i thought i was a lover but I was an inflator, heart got bound to an endless taker, can't hold tight to a fucking heart breaker but what's that sound? it's a new wind blowing, rips my hands from the line they're towing and you're not 'round (not my intention) sometimes mess seems heaven sent
to shake him
not break him
and one meltdown for my behavior, one bad taste that i must savor, one more catalyst for growing, ones own willingness to go, one more fracture in the plastic, one more chance to be fantastic, one more twist that i've untwisted, one more moment I exist...
And you were around in the middle ages and i know shit's gotta go in stages but with your crown you bare the burden, gotta be a rock in times uncertain and you were around but you didn't do nothin' I bet you thought fate was only bluffing, a big let down when I destroyed it, turns out i cannot avoid
what holds him
unfolds him
and one meltdown for my behavior, one bad taste that i must savor, one more catalyst for growing, ones own willingness to go, one more fracture in the plastic, one more chance to be fantastic, one more twist that i've untwisted, one more moment I exist...

Fatigued

I am staggering in a perfect line, overthinking what I guess'll probably turn out fine, i am on the flank, i am in the bush, sitting on the slide waiting for a little push
I'm assorted mix, now a resident, trying not to be a burden can't afford the rent, i'm a panorama made of space and time, never interested in ladders i'm supposed to climb, and this is a strange addiction - headaches forming as i polish up another turd, deeply ingrained conviction - futures captured in the placement of a single word, and now as I say it it seems absurd (i don't know)
I'm fatigued but i'm still climbing all these mountains in my head, all in good time i get shinier with every skin I shed
I'm beside myself, i am ivory, i am merry in a prehistoric fantasy, i'm the son of many and a twisted one, a sober wolf who's only looking for a bit of fun. and this is a big vacation, shirts off shoes off - laying in the summer sun, time for the realization: there's no way that i'm catering to everyone, so why let it ruin my simple fun? (i don't know)
I'm fatigued but i'm still climbing all these mountains in my head, all in good time i get shinier with every skin I shed
I am in the middle of a quiet street he's yelling out the car that i'm gonna get my head beat, sitting next to someone painting zero-time, saying "free will is a dream and everything's devine", I am on the river, it is 5am, it is thinner ice and i'm without a single friend, i am in the kitchen with a mouldy sink another day another cigarette another drink, i am in the window it is summertime it is helpless but i'm hoping that you will be mine, i am on the stool in a crowded place, you arrive to see the panic stricken on my face, i am drinking tea in the afternoon then we cook a piez and lay in bed and watch cartoons, i'm a panorama made of space and time over thinking what i guess'll probably turn out fine

TEACOZY recommends:
When The Tree Bears Fruit
by Parsnip
This album makes me think of riding my bike through the park in late spring. It also reminds me of being a kid and watching Playschool (and I mean this as a genuinely high compliment). Please listen!

Joy as an Act of Resistance.
by IDLES
This is easily one of my favourite albums, maybe ever. I don't know how they did it but there is something very powerful about its mix of vulnerability and force. Amazing album.

This is my brothers band. I love this guy forever. He is truly one of a kind. His music to me is like a heart beat, a chainsaw, a spirit quest and waking up somewhere new. I highly recommend it!
