Residuum Songtext
von Navy Blue

Can′t take ownership
Further the fall I know this cliff
I hope you notice me
Cuz I can't see myself I′m bleeding simultaneously
Erasing thoughts my racing heart can't lay my head to sleep

The way ahead like Archie Shepp, the herd of countless sheep
The crown was stripped to pieces
The stake remains not free to roam I kept me on a leash
Mona Lisa eyes will follow me around the tomb
My mama womb the safest place for me

It ain't no going back I′ve sewn the gash and shown myself deceit
Don′t you hold me back the furthest front was once a bloody heath
My reddened sclera hyperbolic choices within reach
Just let me go or keep me here to suffer such a need

Have you ever dreamt awake and can't recall smallest things?
The calmness of the pond of fallen dreams is where I sat
And took a tally of my schemes
What I crept up into, what I been through, led me through a qualm


I′ll ascend and build my totem hella tall
If it's heaven then I′m mending every flaw
While I'm living keep a distance from the bog
When In doubt you build a wall and get it gone, dear god
Make me capable and calm
And what′ll face me won't break me grant me problems I can solve

He felt there was too much difference between him and them
To allow for a common binding, or a common life.
Only when threatened with death could that happen,
Only in fear and shame with their backs against the wall could that happen

I sit with a drink and listen to the rain
Watch her paint with her hair in two braids
Lamp light puddles about the place
Huddled in corners like mourners at a wake
Shadows thrown in primordial cave
While I watch the painting looks away
Tip ashes in my palm I can't find a tray

Watch her paint like many armed God
Adorned with talisman and charms
Canvas stretched across the wall
It′s pouring out like a heart with a hole


It′s like...
It's like a t-shirt with only one seam
I′m listening to Stevie sing happy birthday
Its not mine though
So i played it loud enough driving slow
Bending corners, hoping it might be yours

I watched faces past the bus stop
Coming out a store, rolled the windows down
Heat on humming children running
I throw up the peace sign to total strangers
Who told you I wiped with my left hand?
To no one in particular cause it felt more free like that

I am I be, with my seeds
Laughing at mall cops in vests that say heightened security
I think they know we here
