Opera of the Urchin

(A shell bursts open)

(And the baby earwig struggles to emerge)

(Because what looks like a harmless ballgame)

(Actually has murderous intent)

(Hungry earwig nymphs)

(Are trying to crack the shells and eat their sibling)

Birth city burning in lung smoke memory

I hear it changing and turning

Young Hope Kennedy

Assassinated by tourists

Blurry picture on the wall of my turret

I'm only blasting at the ones who deserve it

'Cause I been high, I been low

In the City of Roses

Yeah, I could cry, I could choke

I won't hide where my home is

Yeah, no surprise now that Wokeback Mountain is burning

Yeah, I won't lie

I don't know

What's stopping the purge

From popping off

Talking soon

Freddie got fingered, then he ran into his room

Then he found the knives and he found the superglue

Now he wanna fight 'til the red turns blue

'Til the feds come scoop

Bri- Bridge City

No piggy, no pity

Mud sticky

All these Freddies in sweaters, a fedora committee

(Ayy, ayyyy!)

Don't try to pretend you didn't act so silly

Tac- Tac- Tactical acid

I drop the plastic

Retinal blasted to the back of my casket

You whacker than a free mattress covered in scratches from the last bitch who had it

You just mad that I cracked it before you could start to unwrap it

I just wish you could go back to the past to see how you acted

Always a spaz but never impacted

Surrounded by actors

With bad breath

Mad stress

Plaid vest

Bad press

Black Death

Sad threat

Grab bread

And smash heads

(Ayy!)

Am I ever gonna be the same?

Something changed after what I saw

Am I ever gonna be okay?

Sometimes I feel that I'm too far gone

Am I ever gonna be the same?

Something changed after what I saw

Am I ever gonna be okay?

Sometimes I feel that I'm too far gone

Demons laughing at me

What's so funny?

Now I really wanna know, I'm asking

Don't try to shield me from the glow

I wanna feel it all

I lay down in the sun, I'm basking

I couldn't hold on to the dawn

Now everything I know is gone

Demons laughing at me

What's so funny?

Now I really wanna know, I'm asking

Don't try to shield me from the glow

I wanna feel it all

I lay down in the sun, I'm basking

I couldn't hold on to the dawn

Now everything I know is gone

(Those who succeed)

(Get a meal, and calories)

(That could make the difference between life and death)
