Sandpaper Tongue Lyrics

Hip hop was the intention but we ended up with this

A change in perspective solves the puzzle of Phil Fish

With three unheard albums I'm heading back to the well

A sound philosophy is a loud invisibility spell

My absence from social media is purification for the soul

But my mind is still sick so the end product is null

These words lounge around like sandpaper on my tongue

Already unsteady on ladder ascend one more rung

Strain this milk with dirty cotton and amplify my cheese

Another rusty wheeze surely not a pulmonary disease

The number twenty five chuckles at my reflection

I'd never collect money from those under my protection

Their parents are a whole other bag of snack packets

I still carry the albatross through a simplified tax bracket
