lyrics

Lackey wakes to sirens wailing
To jackhammers cranking out progress
Keep trying hard to minimize
The natural effects of sunshine on his iris
Though it be well into an afternoon
It takes a herculean effort just to move up out the bedroom
And by the time the grime gets spat to the drain
The day's crushing potential just sends him harrowing

Outside the free world's sparking brilliance
Chintzy gaudy promotionale
He's a no-show
A canvas white for tired epithets
The brown fingertips from stank cigarettes
Lackey's only relief is the leaf
Sealed up in a jar marked 'artichoke hearts'
So blast off to this cruel malaise
No light can escape from the deadest gaze

Where does he go?
Shit, no one knows
Girl, you gonna fawn upon a dead rose
And as I bide my time
Catastrophe so divine will take shape
We're one and the same

For Lackey Lung's blacked daylight
Relief is bondage
