Fishermen (2022)

by Benjamin Lee Farley

1.
All hands on deck until the wind moves Pretend Old Nick forgot his due Wait out the storm with friends-with-benefits Pretend their answers are true All hands on deck until we all be damned Replacing skin-on-skin with holograms Wait out the future with a blowup doll It's gender neutral though, you know? All hands on hold until the time noose Unties itself and lets us loose We do not need the daily regiment We just need freedom to choose All hands on hold until the action breaks A barricade does not a faction make Wait out the future til you hear the call It's problematic though, you know?
2.
Too easy to fade away away away Lost track of my face today, okay, hooray No need to throw shade my way - go pray, go pray For the sun after a long cold rain to blaze to blaze to blaze Blaze Too easy to take away away away How simply they may be swayed by a parade No need for the chains, I'll stay - just wait, just wait For the sun after the long cold rain to blaze to blaze to blaze
3.
Cold floor, cold bones, cold knives Old bones, old hands, old spies You swore I swore they lied I for one do not recall at all I never meant to be the one to kill the holy high Bear with me, I'm certifiably free these days I never meant to be the one to shoot the moon in the eye It just gets away from me sometimes I'll tell you all about Dimensionoids And how UFOs and ghosts and all the gods are real They're just from another dimension that our brains evolved not to see So that we don't all end up like me Hard head, soft brain, third eye Off brain, off switch, off time You glitch, I glitch, we're fine I remember everything

Feed The Creatures
5.
Been both kinds of sane Can't say I prefer Breaking hearts to being broken I've hung my head in shame From the top of the world Taking bets on who gets taken One of us It'll be one of us One of us It'll be one of us It'll be one of us It'll be one of us

Got Bridges 02:35
I got bridges I got bridges I got bridges I got bridges to burn I make witches I make witches I make witches I make witches to burn Hit them switches Hit them switches Hit them switches Hit them switches and turn I got bridges...
7.
Flick the end Save for later Need an apocalyptic stash Godsend Elevator Seed of the utmost cryptic wrath Make pretend Levitator Breed that always needs a bath Soul to lend Maybe later Speed of light, we might just crash Traitor defenestrator Traitor defenestrate
8.
The crows don't seem to like me anymore The crows don't seem to like me anymore The crows don't seem to like me And that might be why they bite me But the crows don't seem to like me anymore The snakes don't seem to like me anymore The snakes don't seem to like me anymore The snakes don't seem to like me And that might be why they bite me But the snakes don't seem to like me anymore
9.
I try to find A road divine Distracted by the pomp and shine Had to find out how my head hangs now that pride is poison-tongued Pride is poison-tongued It's all in view They censor They Redacted by the CIA Glad to find out that my spies and tails have all the fun, Surveilling me on the run
10.
The hand that holds the reins is broken All shattered bone and withered skin Listen for bullshit when it's spoken Beware a planet's worth of spin Here comes the overflowing river Here comes the ever-rising sea Here comes the taker and the giver Debating on which side to be No answers for the inundated All shattered homes and giving in Evolution might be outdated The fittest do not always win
11.
Moot 01:42
No longer Relevant Opinion Moot All been heard All been said Shut it down Don't shoot Self-righteous Hypocrites Comeuppance Is due Witch trial Hysterics Evidence Moot
12.
Whiteboy Dub 01:59
I'm a whiteboy and I got no soul Just a whiteboy and I know my role I'm a whiteboy and I got no soul
13.
Obnoxious aviators fly around in packs of clones I'm here just grateful I don't have to worry about drones Scavenge no more, I got meat on my bones I'm content I'm content I'm uncomfortably content Come in screaming from the west with nothing great to say But it's better than hearing the sound of somebody yelling "BOMBS AWAY" Enemies of enemies know not for whom to pray I repent I repent I repent I unwillingly repent I don't know what's real or not or if my thoughts are true I'd prefer to never know and keep my mind in two This madness keeps things interesting, better me than you Heaven-sent, heaven-sent, I believe it's heaven-sent
14.
Fat Now 02:07
Some kind of ritual exposed I'm not sure what but something's off Maybe it's all for our own good I'm getting fat and going soft
15.
Stoop 02:12
There used to be these stairs There used to be a house There used to be a crew They had it figured out Stoop We creatures used to care But we burned down the house There might have been a point But it's all over now Stoop
