i dug my first grave in new london
bought two bullets for each half of my heart
as something uncut to down when we've
for the last time fallen apart
and all the lifers now assemble
a quorum to deconstruct my death
if you choreograph this car crash
i'll stumble my way home with every step
but I've seen this routine, artistic guillotine
splitting what is from what ought to be
like holly bobo tied up with her head in a cup
rattling just war philosophies
the chorus singin' swing low sweet privilege
the new aesthetic
as if giving a shit were political intrigue
the revolution will not be ivy league
leagues under a sea of backdrops risers and trophy kids
not until the reaping when your bracket is rebranded and the newest fashion's landed
yeah songs of rebirth and preferential justice seemed more of a prank
you're the salt of the Earth but at 4 AM
you're the sugar in daddy's gas
tanking down the parkway on the wrong side of the road
dragging a dossier of learned bar raising suits all in tow
before you arrive at the apex of the consumer capital matrix
yeah your seat is saved, go ahead misbehave
at the table of plenty you may
hurl your meat at the host, offer a heartfelt toast
to the kindling on kinder coasts
your seat is saved
