Camera Thief

[Verse 1]

Camera thief, take pictures

Run like the parallel stitches

Attach my feet to the path I beat

Teach myself to keep the answers brief

Gnash my teeth like the last to feast

Imagine me on that abandoned beach

Sand and sea as if the jazz was free

I’m Ice cream mixed with gasoline

Direct attention to the craftsmanship

Neglect to mention that the past will stick

Like initials carved in the concrete

Like the tattoo that hides on your mommy

I still kick it with angels

The difference is instead of the bar, I’m at my kitchen table

The starlight shines through the glass

But you feel safe underneath that mask

[Verse 2]

Ferris Wheel, give rides

The scars healed in time to get high

Lock the doors and hide the keys

Let's go describe how to climb a tree

Don’t sign the lease just cop a corner

For you to curl up and try to sleep

Those cheap police won't find my wings

I keep my dreams inside my dreams

And If I had a time machine

I’d probably use it like a vacuum and try to clean

It kind a seems, quite more than a handful of these regrets have been circumstantial

Now give me all the cash out the drawer

Touch that mustache down on the floor

And I’ll be in court holding a pitchfork

'Fore I let the contest outlast the sport

[Verse 3]

Pocket watch, impatient

Find a mate then make the migration

Break the rules, but first break the rulers

And keep it moving like a rumor

I don’t need to defend my defensiveness

I keep to myself, my family, and friendships

I’ve got enough people I could disappoint

If you disagree I think you missed the point

Now go ahead and grab a chair

Let me tell you about the last few years

Pulled out a sack full of Samson’s hair

And put it on the dash like a dancin’ bear

I wrote you a horoscope

It won't fit on this post-it note

But if I had to sum it up into a shorter quote

It goes fuck it, you might as well row that boat
