Sage Francis - 16 YearsLyrics

The sun flies through the sky leaves darkness in it's wake And now I hear the hell hounds barking at the gate To be honest sometimes I want you to relate This ain't up for discussion it's not a topic for debate Entrepreneurs that want to bottle up the hate And slap a label on the glass so hard that it'll break And if you break it you buy it and we sold it by the case It's OK if you just try it you can hold it to your face How close can you get without touching it How far removed can you get from the public Can you keep a secret? If not, can you tie a slipknot? Can you stand high up on this brick block? Listen to the clock tick tock and switch gears It's been 1 2 3 4 5 6 years Are they all dancing now? Are you joining the party? Are just celebrating your life just by destroying your body? It's a part of your psyche that I want to sight see I don't need you as a tour guide and I don't want you to like me I was voted least likely That's it just least likely So pardon me if I seem feisty Bite my tongue like a bullet take a pull from the peace pipe Push past the low expectations of me each night I leave light in my wake and I moonwalk across the floor Until I hear the sex kittens all purring at the door There's something outside that we all want But inside there's an ex who marks a soft spot Till it rots and decays and then no one else cares It's been 7 8 9 10 11 12 years Now I sell pennies to the well-wishers I fish through the coin slots I fall through a girls bait participate in boycotts I demonstrate a demon's trade With a face void of thoughts If that don't launch a thousand ships Than that's a Helen of Troy's loss There's nothing in this horse It's hollow it's empty it's entry will not be forced Like an eye socket stripped clean of tears It's been 13 14 15 16 years
