Alexipharmic - Astigmatism lyrics
rate me
Picture this, visionist, servin 20-20 vision With the future stigmatized, insecure of how he's living Addicted to a past never coming to fruition Yet still viewing through the present without aid or provision Exorcism of the demons, leave the shell of man lifeless I'm 19 years old - stuck in a midlife crisis! Look left, look right, say "fuck it" then go straight When the fork came, I took it - started clearing off my plate Til fate stepped in and gave a little boy his courage A flashlight in the dark - gave his soul its sole purpose That's why this pen will never stop - the pad will never drop Each surmounted height spawns another needing to be topped Until the goal is manifest, communicated clearly Emotively emancipated, lay it out for you dearly Sincerely yours, now and ever, til it reads on the tombstone "Here Lies Alexipharmic", his work done - now going home [Chorus:] Lay it all out on the line, I wonder how I'll be remembered Cease the moment while it's given, holding hands with time together Light shine in through the darkness, lift my head through stormy weather Through it all it's now or never, and I'm siding with forever Heavy handed benevolence, a self-evidenced perfectionist Documentary through writing - filmed without hesitance And no alternate lenses, no varying perceptions Just an author and his camera, filming his own reflection I can't promise that one day any of this will make sense Between logic and insanity I shimmy cross the fence Smiling down on the spectacle, fertilizing both sides The grass growing greatly equally on the divides In retrospect, it's most convenient to peer back in hindsight Second-guessing each decision, unforeseen by blind sight But all I ever wanted was to understand conditions All I ever needed was to diagnose these symptoms All I ever wished for was to pick apart the fragments Fixing something out of nothing, mixing change in with the stagnant And all I've ever given was a piece of the part So you can put it back together before it all falls apart [Chorus:] Lay it all out on the line, I wonder how I'll be remembered Cease the moment while it's given, holding hands with time together Light shine in through the darkness, lift my head through stormy weather Through it all it's now or never, and I'm siding with forever
