The Story Of My Life - Astronautalis[00:00:00]
I was born in a box car[00:00:08]
Color blind pigeon toed pock marked[00:00:12]
Twisted figure broken heart they'd fixed up with monkey parts[00:00:15]
I was born in a four story roach motel[00:00:17]
With floor to ceiling agitations[00:00:19]
Wooden blocks and basic distaste for anything else[00:00:21]
I was raised by a pack of wolves[00:00:23]
Nursed in our nations capital[00:00:25]
Taught to hunt and gather food[00:00:26]
And howl at the moon in the reflecting pool[00:00:28]
I was raised by a slow jam[00:00:29]
Two grizzlies for a mother who cared[00:00:31]
Six packs of ramen nostradamus paranoia affair[00:00:32]
I fell in love with the flim flammer[00:00:34]
Charming con artist sexy counterfeiter[00:00:36]
Pretty grifter hidden ace switch making quick fingers[00:00:38]
I fell in love with the most beautiful vulture[00:00:41]
She picked away my flesh I'm left with skeletons[00:00:42]
Welcome warm and tearing through my shoulders[00:00:45]
And she gave birth to my only son[00:00:47]
A smoking gun blue eyed block chip[00:00:49]
On the first warm day to end the ice age frostbit[00:00:50]
And she gave birth to a lion cub[00:00:53]
It's followed me for years now[00:00:54]
Meaner by the day so I don't speak[00:00:55]
I know it's chewing on my fingers while I sleep[00:00:58]
I know it's stupid but it keeps without a leash[00:01:00]
And I've been trying to set it loose[00:01:02]
It seems it's freedom stripping me[00:01:04]
So I treat it like what it is[00:01:05]
I lay these eggshells to remember to be careful[00:01:08]
You can find a swarm where the stingers hold back[00:01:10]
You can find a warm spot in a cold snap[00:01:13]
If you don't scratch when the itches make you hair stand tall[00:01:16]
It may shake you but you won't fall down[00:01:19]
You can find a swarm where the stingers hold back[00:01:22]
You can find a warm spot in a cold snap[00:01:25]
If you don't scratch when the itches make you hair stand tall[00:01:28]
It may shake you but you won't fall[00:01:31]
Justice can sleep for centuries[00:01:33]
To wake when it's least expected[00:01:38]
I never seen miraculous deeds fall on those who expect them[00:01:41]
Life ain't a dream it's just a string of jokes[00:01:47]
All connected there's something beautiful to me[00:01:51]
In the act of making your own death bed and we sung[00:01:55]
We all walk with smiles like chalk quick to wash off[00:01:59]
Suit and loose and unbuttoned like ready to draw[00:02:02]
Love it raw 'till tender is far too fierce for us[00:02:05]
Winter is almost here for us and like july[00:02:08]
Hard to find tracks when it's buried under so much decay[00:02:10]
Hard to find trail when it's buried under what's paved[00:02:14]
This is the story of my trial by erosion of words[00:02:16]
Simple what's right like who's just being polite[00:02:20]
We all walk with smiles like chalk quick to wash off[00:02:22]
Suit and loose and unbuttoned like ready to draw[00:02:26]
Love it raw 'till tender is far too fierce for us[00:02:28]
Winter is almost here for us it's like july[00:02:32]
Hard to find tracks when it's buried under so much decay[00:02:34]
Hard to find trail when it's buried under what's paved[00:02:38]
This is the story of my trial by erosion of words[00:02:40]
Simple what's right like who's just being polite[00:02:43]
