about

WINTER 1

"Every journey starts."

lyrics

I’m afraid of myself —
I think that everyone else is just a distraction
From who I might be
If I really tried

I’m a caramel
A-melting on a windowsill
A mess for you to chip off
When I dry

There are ants all over my bathroom wall.
They worship me!
On my throne!
I’m so proud.

There’s a dried up well
Somewhere out in my personal hell,
I filled it with smoke and piss
Just to pass the time

And when it was filled,
I packaged it up in little pills
And sold it on the street
With my couplet rhymes

Please
Be strong for me
I can only pretend at strength
Please be kind to me
Show me how

Let me go to sleep
And feel the earth slip from under my feet
As I shed the burden of self
And finally breathe

And somewhere deep
In the deepest end of my bedpan sea
I found a blue-tipped match
To light my teeth

There are ants all over my bathroom wall.
They worship me!
On my throne!
I’m so proud.

There’s a boy in town
Wandering around all naked and brown
Scratching symbols on signposts
For his little friends

I say hey little jerk
Why don’t you
Get back to your mama so i can get back to work
He says “piss off old prick,
Do you even know who i am?

I am Rahotep
I am the winter warden on your back deck
TGIF, let’s BBQ
My man”

Please
Be strong for me
I can only pretend at strength
Please be kind to me
Show me how
