Jonwayne - Ode to Mortality Lyrics
[Intro]"I will soon start to read poetryUh... might as well start about now"[Verse 1]If my lungs can withstand these filth iciclesThe angels dust across the land of false prophetsMaybe I clutch my poetry tighterJust to feel like these walls are still listening to dramaDon't bother the carpenter, there soon he plays harbingerHe couldn't shake the moccasin a monikerThey only know him from watching upon their monitorMaybe they'll cop a feel of a feeling from brain opera[Hook 1]Life is an homage to deathThese cousins never kissed, nor laid in the bed to restI sketch breath with sharp and broken pencilsThe message is permanent, it's been etched into the mental"What do you think about the stars in the sky?"I'll be seeing them soon"...in the, in the sky?""It's okay, I guess"[Verse 2]My skin is drenched in shadowsBut it's high noon and I'm on the back of a camelThirst is just an essence the devil is whisperingAs I slip into a room with a fountain, running rivers of ginSee what you can have if you just loosen your gripThe noose is just a rope and the pupil is just a dripSeeking light in the the darknessThe dog in me is barking[Verse 3]I procure drops of dark matterIt's pure oceanic space inside my eyelidsThe planets are in my irisBronze light beams gold, king MidasThey duck diving, each riches like pretty wivesYou never felt alive if you've never diedMy bones never ache and my song never criesI fall weightless in the wake of greatness[Hook 2]Life is an homage to deathThese cousins never kissed, nor laid in the bed to restI sketch breath with sharp and broken pencilsThe message is permanent, it's been etched into the mental"What do you think about the stars in the sky?"I'll be seeing you soon"...in the, in the sky?""It's okay, I guess"
