LYRICS:
I do the same things.
Veto texts and mumble to my ghosts.
I hear the same things.
Rumbles, sins, and the gathering of hosts.
And did I promise eyes?
On the midnight grift.
I heard the gurgling man.
I see the club and the knife.
I hear the angel eyes.
And they're burning out of pits.
That's why I'm rolling.
I'm rolling to be sure.

Love is a mansion.
Love is a pension.
A pantry.
But not a pill.
Why make comparisons?
Why make an auctioneer tamp down on his spiel?
He's full of speed and breath.
And rat-a-tat clefts.
And clipped syllabic urgings to refill.
From the gurgling man.
With the club and the knife.
With the angel eyes burning out of pits.
That's why I'm rolling.
I'm rolling to be sure.
To be sure and sure and sure.
That I see the same things.
