The Strife Aquatic

Blunted behind the counter at the nether of my tether
Boss learing over like “you’re here forever”
But the minute I blaze up and fell enough steeples
Or drop by that mill to hug all the right people
I’ll be out to Iceland to hash out my woes
With your cunt crossed boss’ spin teacher in toe
I’ve been here since day and if you don’t believe me you can check my resumé
50 hours, 3 years and 9 pints of blood was what it took
To get DS from beneath my hood
Tunes wrought out of the lands I frequent
The places where tirelessly treacle I’ve bent, grated, spent, shafted
Swapped skronk for stonk, chopped baroque pop on lock
Lived the strife aquatic, life schematics of a world dramatic
One man stage play, cues from my namesake
A Paranoid King, on a Sheftown ting, a Salopian fling
Back behind the counter at the nether of my tether
Pam sidles up like “which is better? - the Brahms, the Glass, the chamber, the mass?”
Shit I don’t care and shit I don’t ask
Because I’m elsewhere, out there drunk at your expense
Getting agg on the mic but in my defence
I cut my teeth on late night broadcasts thence
And I can still take you through those beats in present tense

Lyrics written by Mono Works
From up here
I can see
Many other windows like these
From up here
I can see
Between the trees
Many other windows like these
So I stand here swaying in my room
As it approaches the end of June
Trying to find a way amongst the rhythms
Trying to find a way to make decisions
From up here I can see
Between the trees
And up here in the afternoon
Tryna make a new tune
Sun shines thru my window
From up here
I can see
Many other houses like these
I wonder if they can see me
