Euphoric Grave Digger

from demos! by Cake "Alchemy!"

lyrics

I wish to be a perpetual beginner
Stir nothingness in all my spiraling
Let me burn my knees among the cinders
Smoking up spirit’s rationality
The sun is ripe to shake down secrets
And plant the strangest seeds…
Natural magick hangs me speechless—
Without permissions, without release!
No agency outside of me
I’m thick with needles and canopy
Temptation sleeps dynamically
O materials aren’t materiality

Processing toward limitation in death:
Catastrophe’s a plague to the unprepared
Scrape my teeth on top her breath
A lung’s a lung to scream despair
I see the offer is for the lucky:
The bodies still-electric with life
But no certain hand will stop me
From granting magick fantasized
From running mouths of sacrifice
From digging up our paradise
Replacing bones in diamond skies
For alchemy in laughter cries
No stranger in the strangest sighs
I watch them say goodbye

I am not practical
Working with all this soil
It’s only temporary
No agency belongs to me
Time is not fertility
I’m thick with needles and leaves
And my body is fidgeting
Because I am not me
Eternity mistakes…
The way the blood vessels break
For ease within our days!
For ease under our pains!
The way we use to blame
The past for further flames
Reusable & recycled
These myths are re-riffled...
The past will not last

Walk to the farmers’ market for stress relief
Within the sidewalk I smell the answers:
Honey lavender serenity
When taste buds assume my standards!
I am filled terror and odd visions,
I am the unwanted man
I find, in calm, outside precisions
To make soul of percussion:
Beat on beat I tap it out
Scraping shovels’ heavy whip
Gravel in and gravel down
My life is death when I commit
My life is death when I commit
My life is death when I commit because
I smell their laughter in cement
I tape the rod to uttered rents
My body only is unrelenting, unforgiving
It's a plea to perpetual beginnings
Crack my lips so I can laugh
Euphoric in the diggings
Of a blast, a torrid blast...
