Bloodletting by EBONY TUSKS Lyrics
I'm well acquainted with harbored resentment
The bitter feelings inaudibly rendered
Through gritted teeth we've been volatile, indiscreet in our comments
Is this release or an audit of weapons?
Mother in heaven knows I once kept an arsenal in me
Cannon fixed and aimed at those who so often would tempt me
Best believe I was a beast with it, awful and petty
Bleed for an audience just to feed all this bottomless envy
And I felt it in my core from rock bottom to ceiling
Quite the composite of a cold and impoverished being
Knew when to quit but didn't know just what stopping would mean
A light I withheld when I was supposed t be conscious, a beacon
I was supposed to have conquered these demons
You were supposed to see G-d in this heathen
Most days I can't even argue with reason
But a part of me has flown away in departure for kingdom
Head down to the feet, right?
Head down to the feet, right?
Around here, that's what you call that
Around there, that's what you call that
Head down to the feet, right?
Head down to the feet, right?
Around here, that's what you call that
Around there, that's what you call that
Am I to be a vessel? Am I to lead discussion?
Am I to cauterize the wound? Am I to leave it ruptured?
Am I considered damaged goods not having been discovered
At the bottom of a dream deferred and cavernous in hunger?
Am I to plummet farther? Am I my father's witness?
Am I the courage in his blood, a prophecy delivered?
Am I believed to be an author if the script was written
Long before the moment I felt chosen for the mission given?
And when I see you now
I got my nice shoes on and a cap so fitted
If my salute seems forced, it's not that I'm so innocent
Got the hood back jumpin' whether or not you meant it and when I
And when I see you now
I got my nice shoes on and a cap so fitted
If my salute seems forced, it's not that I'm so innocent
Got the hood back jumpin' whether or not you meant it and when I
Head down to the feet, right?
Head down to the feet, right?
Around here, that's what you call that
Around there, that's what you call that
Head down to the feet, right?
