im going from skirmisher (2011) by eddie dixon

im going to the future
 
 
im going to the future but im going slow and faithless
i decided i WILL get older , put the wisdom all on my face
ill make it look good i wont make it look too easy , thats how ill sell it .
and if you keep up maybe we can meet there
in the center of the process
theres no false move now, cant prove there ever was
 
when you live in a science fiction,the nerves come with the magic
ill stay up and watch over you while the static moves across the sky
the money wants you, the money wants this flat world, fast and crowded
stay limber, sleep light, and dont trust your eyes
this world is dark dreamin
what carny gods work at the levers of this gaudy show?
 
call me names, call me anything but gone
fit me for a new face as long as i get to come along
ill stay game , wont let the slack move into my jaw
im going to the future with my machines and scars all gleaming
ima keep all my crooked teeth cuz i wanna keep an animal edge
ill tell the young ones how you used to put your skin to the skin of your lover's
how great a smile looked in a polaroid picture even when its blurry
the air turns to math and the moon is an old hotel
-*-----o my jaw
 
im going to the future with my machines and scars all gleaming
ill stay with my original skin because i wanna keep an animal edge
ill tell the young ones how you used to put your skin to
the skin of your lover
how great a smile looked in a polaroid picture
even half blurry
the air turns to math and the moon is an old hotel
