loftycircles Lyrics

The tip of the iceberg was on the tip of my tongue

I was running aground and stuttering some

I was born into it like original sin

I felt the anchor and let the sinking begin

But hey, i've got a new melancholy confidence to rise

So here, watch me flaunt it like this, guys

There's more to say

Than hands to play

So i keep talking

In lofty circles

It gnaws at me

The whole damn circus

It's nauseating

And that way on purpose

A sin in town

As in in town

A regular flush

Becomes royal

I've been dealt so many losing hands

It's beginning to make my blood boil

I've learned the gift of the gab

Wins the prize pool grab

That's how it's been

Since there've been things to be had

I talk something up from nothing

To make something of myself

I'm a wizard escaping

No means shackles with spells

Words and a poker face

Bluffed me to a bedframe

But cyclical poverty makes

For my worst scatterbrain

I'd like to cash out

And be unconditionally loved

With all flaws allowed

So the ship can be patched up

I can't market myself like the titanic

I really need the luxury to fold

And not always have to motherfucking panic

Just to escape from the shivering cold

So i crawl out, inch by inch

Over and over, forever and ever

Glancing back to where I'd been

Asking myself how i'd held it together

We shouldn't have to

But we'll rise above it

I'd like to thank you

For helping me with bluffing
