if design dictates function, what am i?

Singer:atlas

if i could explain it

then i would

you know i would

and if i could explain it

then i would

i know i should

and if i could explain it

then i would

oh i would

i wrote a lot of words that i never meant

left my selfish tendencies encased inside of sediment

my regiment is endless

i'm the president of weathermen

so catch me on a rainy day with feathers in a weather brim

it ain't a mystery why history is myth to me

i watch the planet dwindle into entropy

my friends and me are listening to milo and a tree house made of toothpicks

building toward the sky

we'll be swimming in that blue midst

until we hit the sun

like a liquor scented icarus

my wax wings are catching the flickering that finished it

the flames

forgetting i'm the same as greek legends were

'cause i'm looked back upon with a separate curve

that's the only reason i was ever passin' classes

sat back

havin' blasts

playin' pokemon and laughin'

and instructions from the substitute

functionin' as someone new

but nameless at the same

hope that's enough for you

the sun

but nameless at the same

hope that's enough for you

blowin' up my courage via self imposed substitutes

i feel like a frame

in which there sits a picture

which resembles all the fixtures that i can visit through elixir

i'm not trippin'

i'm not crazy

i'm not steppin' out of line

i'm the only function circumventing it's design

and ignoring every law set in place in the past

i'm a jackson pollock painting in a plague doctor's mask

i'm an afrodesiac with a rather sleezy nack

for retainin' information when it passes through my back

i'm a tip of a knife

in the grip of a vice

i'm weak

the old me is still invisionin' life

from the barrier death creates

carryin' the message late

this is but an ode to the precarious and second rate

this is but an overthought analysis of malice in society

variety is quietly expiring

and i can see the ambien inclusion on my sides

openin' up the gates

before i open up my eyes

and see. open up my eyes

and wait till i fall back asleep

back asleep

see

i stopped using a fake voice in rap. stop pretending that i was someone who is stronger than i am. stop phasilitating ego on a hunt for validation. and i somehow ended up exactly where i started

and exactly where i started is exactly where i am. in my room alone at four am with nothing i can stand. i forgot the person who i used to be

he's in the past now

and i'm still waiting for the future
