All the Smartest People

Recently my neighbor spotted me casing my own house

I said I only really like to go in when I go out

"You ok dude?"

"Yeah, you ok?"

"Yeah."

"Good." (Yeah? Yeah. Good. Alright)

I know every black crow in the city by its first name

And its surname, and its bird call, and its birthday

Look, I’m cursed

Ran down Main like a man on fire from a church

Mangiest scalp in the state

Angriest eyes in the world

Son pipes up “Tell me, old man, how is it that you could even know that?

It’s not even a thing that scientists know how to measure”

Gramps like “Sonny I been all over this motherfucking roadmap

I can tеll you science ain’t the only playеr in the network."

Y'all shoulda seen the boy face

Nothing like a smug young punk realizing what his counterpoint ain’t

All the smartest people that I know seem to teeter in a paranoid state

"You can know it all and never know you haven’t actually departed point A."

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait

You saying there’s a B?"

"No, I’m saying you won’t ever need to limit the edition when you’re free."

"Woah. So… what do you do when you get to Z?"

Bro... Look, there is not a chance

I am not officially a ghost

Invisible and slamming all the doors

A paranormal scrambling of phones

Look, there is not a day, an ember isn’t cupped in his hands

It’s slowly reaching up into the sky

It‘s fluctuating under my command

Look, I don’t use shortcuts

I don’t use pace cars

I cut through a graveyard

Just to cut through another graveyard

Just to cut through another graveyard
