Lacuna from Somersault Days by Sin7ven

[Verse 1]
I woke up like a crashing car
The wind in my sails like a cat o’ nine tails and it’s lashing hard
Treat life like a passion project?
I’m washing my hands from the ash and cobweb

We try not to eat those Doritos or Cheetos
But the id being a dick supersedes super-egos
(Things happen twice, things happen twice… nice)
…


Things happen twice, first as tragedy, then as farce
Tangled weaving a tapestry of XLRs
Stumbles into a stadium, checks his bars
Expectation is that he’s betraying his exemplars

Thundering in his cranium
About as coherent as a Lacanian, feeling so alien
(Take you back into the mirror stage, oh dear, I’m strange)
…

[Hook]
Biting my teeth, gnash away
While in my dreams procrastinate
What could I ask the nazarene?
Why would I plead?

[Verse 2]
Take you back into the mirror stage,
By wearing imposing mirror shades - posing here in fear of gaze
Wearing all sorts of uncouth and endearing clothing
Not been to Vegas but acquainted with fear and loathing

No drip, it’s been so sick, big fan
Used to worry ‘bout how I might sink into some quicksand
(Now I mostly worry about simple things… I like simple men)
…

Now I mostly worry about simple things like breathing
I complicate it, turn it into whimpering and heaving
If only I could switch like maybe ten percent to cheering
I could hear it every day if I just stored it in an earring

I’m losing all my socks and half my friends are disappearing
Never choosing all my thoughts and all of them are interfering
(Hedgehog’s dilemma but weird.. ya hear?)
…

[Hook]

[Outro]
Hedgehog’s dilemma but weird, like I’m a sea urchin
Imaginary object into person back to mere thing
Imaginary object into person back to mere thing
Imaginary object into person, into object, into…
