Poetry addresses the ironies in life through a pessimistic, yet artistic perspective.
lyrics
poetry, poetry
another dark cloud floating over me
poetry, poetry
makes me ponder if I'm where I'm supposed to be
poetry, poetry
over analyzing everybody close to me
I mean, I want to act accordingly
but feel like the world’s always recording me
with the pen and paper, I'll be the one
to demonstrate the way to sway to simulation in my favour
Sorry if my taste is a different flavour
Just get into it, I promise that the bitterness is quite the savour
spend my days creating waves like what you give to neighbours like court cases and corn mazes I fall shorter than jockeys in horse races wargaming with poor aim, am I insane? my brain, much brighter than Las Vegas and more spacious Lost soul, who never lost his patience I stay awake and keep pacing at night Even when things go well, they don't feel right Like something's about to happen. You can't simply score a hat trick without it being followed by some bad shit Maybe I've been writing too long, nowadays it all feels like a song and shit is all just poetry. It's all poetry. Another dark cloud floating over me poetry, poetry makes me ponder if I'm where I'm supposed to be poetry, poetry over analyzing everybody close to me I mean, I want to act accordingly but feel like the world's always recording me. See, I always played it safe and kept money in the bank saving every check, afraid the rainy days would bring the lake effect
Got comfy and invested in my home then a pandemic hits when my funds were sitting low So I was stressing hard, New baby, two dogs new job with the season or lay off I tried to stay calm, but this quote makes me sick “He who has the largest stick can always take your shit” Why would people buy my Format Disc? when the stores don't have formula for the kids? My old man tried to warn me of this, “live within your means” for a long time, I was Mr. Clean look at what has happened, every time I score a hat trick it seems to be followed by some bad shit my anxiety's been hiding too long maybe that's for not righting my wrongs shit, It's all just poetry It's all poetry Another dark cloud floating over me poetry, poetry makes me ponder if I'm where I'm supposed to be Poetry, poetry over analyzing everybody close to me I mean, I want to act accordingly But feel like the world's always recording me poetry, poetry 8 billion living here but please notice me poetry, poetry had my 15 but more is owed to me poetry, in everything that I see morbid thoughts seem normal to me overthinking everything is like torture to me foreshadow the corpse that I'll be I ignore it and record to the beat, I try not to panic but can't enjoy life when I'm trying to understand it trying to decipher every hand that I was handed and poetry is the way that I manage god damn it, I know it's about to happen Life's about to hit me back with another dump truck full of bad shit Maybe this song's a mistake by creating it. I'm playing with Fate I'm just trying to make poetry it's all poetry another dark cloud floating over me poetry, poetry makes me ponder if I'm where I'm supposed to be poetry, poetry
over analyzing everybody close to me I mean, I want to act accordingly, but feel like the world's always recording me and my poetry.
