in a path I've gone unraveled, in a daze. it's all the same.
like a speakeasy it's coded, words exchanged, meeting arranged.
against the grain we gnash our teeth.
and I could say,
"let's ghost the sleep, stick ups on a den of thieves. sweaty palms and shaky knees. send 'em to the guillotine."
but you laugh and say, "not today."
in orchestrated cellblock sweeps the cowboy hacks a portal beam and spirals on infinity. logical splitting at the seams, I reach my hand toward you but you frown and say, "not today."
and you will reach such great peaks with those gifts that we gave-
but not today.
in a pinkerton stickup with pistol's safety unlocked, I smirk as I say,
"not today."
and you will reach such great peaks with those gifts that we gave-
but not today.
and someday, dodging brain death, you will find out that yr scales have been changed-
but not today.
