doomtree – string theory lyrics
dessa i travel with a lungful of music, doesn’t weigh a thing / reed’s built in, breathe through it every time i sing / and i got pockets fulla my own hands, head fulla back-up plans / temper walks beside me, a gift i guess from my old man / history: lines on my face / future: lines on my palm / they say heaven’s guarded by gates, d-mnation don’t care much who’s calling / but i don’t fall for that line, only one i walk is mine / i carry what i can and i’m still makin good time / bones are hollow, that’s where i keep marrow / this quiver in my lip, that’s just where i keep my arrows / i fold up my ideas i pack em neat inside my skull / i got this string theory: doesn’t work to push, you gotta pull / so i’m pullin for me, and i’m pullin for mine / and they’re easy to read, but you can’t trust the signs / eyes blur in the heat, heat curves all the lines / try to keep up, speed up, get your feet up / and match mine
cecil (hook) we’ll wait til the dawn / and when dawn breaks we’re moving on / we’re raised by the laws / but the laws gonna break when we’re moving on
sims gravity i never learned / i’m in the air stretch it out spaghetti western / i make it glow then let it go, no effort / that attachment only kept your flame sequestered / i just let it how the ember in my chest burn / i wasn’t in for the fame or making profit / i just came to scr-pe my name into the cinder blocking / now they’re flocking because the feather’s same / i just burned the oil, toiled, man i fed the flame / you better aim before they tame you, boy / it’s a wild world they’re coming for your pelt, young boy / they’re tolling all the bells, tolstoy / it’s war and peace, beast came to eat, old boy / oh boy (hook)
sims gravity is such a pesky thing / makes every weight in sight seem like it’s worth measuring / makes every step you take so tentative / but if you don’t stride with purpose then there’s no benefit / i know, only on this surface til we float / but why wait? i pull for you and throw your hand a rope / i know, you can take time or take time by the throat / so tell me when it’s time to go (hook)
