Lyrics

The Idhin

[Chorus] Clinging to the rhythm and the wisdom of the Idhin Either that's the future, or there is none Repent and sin again like a faucet dripping I cannot feed your complements to all my children [Verse] Listen, I threw the kitchen sink at everything that I've attempted I threw this letter away five times 'fore I signed and sent it I put my handprint in the patent of what I invented I scribe a sentence that defying all your laws and limits I don't feed the machine, I feed human beings Don't perform for the form, but what it truly means Ain't no such thing as beauty queens Love and service are the stuff of movie scenes I'm at my best when I can disappear The only time that I show up is when I'm insincere Listen here: there's no such thing as "isn't fair" There's only what you keep and what you kill I know you feel me there I was once militant against the military Blind dog with a seeing eye man—interesting pair If I wasn't bald, I'd whip my hair So when you sit and stare, you wouldn't have shit to compare [Chorus] Clinging to the rhythm and the wisdom of the Idhin Either that's the future, or there is none Repent and sin again like a faucet dripping I cannot feed your complements to all my children
