got a gun locked and loaded
but it doesn’t phase me
how would you pull the trigger
when i’ve been places
come on, take it from me
your narcotic eyes
that hypnotism
Kaa in a state of view
sweet and sour lately, stuck
sweet and sour lately, stuck
your narcotic eyes
your narcotic eyes
there’s a bird dead in the backyard
there’s about a thousand cockroaches
ready to survive the blast
words in a certain aura
chaos riding everywhere
there once were days where my face
felt a fire when i saw her with you
your narcotic eyes, that hypnotism
sour candy stuck to that sweater that
i once shared with you
riding the sun rays, baby
riding the sun rays, baby
ride the sun rays
ride the sun rays
ride the sun rays
there’s about a thousand cockroaches
ready to survive the blast
words in a certain order
chaos riding everywhere
like the river, nature of the beast
where i come to be, where i come to be
there once were days where my face
felt a fire when i saw her with you
your narcotic eyes, that hypnotism
sour candy stuck to that sweater that
i once shared with you
its haunting now, its now monochrome
its haunting now, its now monochrome
its haunting now, its now monochrome
all the layers cut the fuck up
screens within screens
mirrors face to face
so crazy in youth
you were dog star man
under mothlight, too
born again in Stan Brakhage hands
i’ve had to learn where
born again in Stan Brakhage hands
i’ve had to learn where
today we drove around looking for apartments
and took notice of all the evergreen
never considered just how out of touch
only two weeks left at our apartment
and never took notice about how out of touch
screens within screens
mirrors face to face
so crazy in youth
you were dog star man
under mothlight, too
i’ve had to learn where
born again in Stan Brakhage hands
i’ve had to learn where
born again in Stan Brakhage hands
riding the sun rays
an art piece
riding the sun rays
you’re an art piece
and it’s true
it’s true, peace
comical, it’s true
riding the sun rays
the emerald green
near where i’d come to be
riding on a dream wave, baby
there once were days where my face
felt a fire when i saw her with you
your narcotic eyes, that hypnotism
sour candy stuck to that sweater that
i once shared with you
sour candy stuck to that sweater that
i once shared with you
Kaa in a state of view
sweet and sour lately
stuck to that sweater
Kaa in a state of view
Kaa, Kaa, Kaa, Kaa
Kaa, Kaa, Kaa, Kaa
