"The Dig" (2008)
All Lyrics by Hoagman (except where noted) (c.2008 Full Service Entertainment, LLC)
Hi Ho
Where’s the heat? Where’s the feeling?
Stomp the floor, hit the ceiling
Claustrophobia’s a real thing
Trade my thoughts for all your instinct
Hi ho I’m a bad man with a blackened soul
Hi ho I will blind you, tempt you with my gold
With my gold, so much gold
I’ll blind you with my gold
Hi ho I’m a bad man with a blackened soul
Gone mad
Out to sea again
Mates are all sick
And some are dead
Thunder drives the night, rain is permanent
It’s permanent
And it won’t relent
All night
The mast is gone
The hull is creaking
It’s wet in the bunk
The deck is leaking
You think you hear the water speaking
Your mind is lost
You’re imagining things
Tasteless Gravy
(2nd Verse rap by BONESAW)
You’ll never catch me son
I don’t participate in your shenanigans
I’m done
I’ll never confess to that gun
That one gram of crack that you found on my person
You’ll never catch me once
I run
And shake the chains from my thumbs
It’s so fun
To be a public enemy number one
No pop I don’t stop the hip hop the black top
The fence, the curb, the streets, I heard
The sirens scream
How the hell could they be coming after little old me?
I’m just a yeah high dude with an attitude
My heart’s pounding PLEASE
They’ll never catch me
I’ve had enough of steel bars and that tasteless gravy
Sounds of steel and tasteless gravy
(x2)
Warrants are out for my arrest
My baby’s mama’s slappin me, poundin my chest
A piss test
is imminent
Fuck it, I’ll smoke the rest
I got a couple days, a gun, and a bullet proof vest, yes
You’ll never catch me once
I run
And shake the chains from my thumbs
It’s so fun
To be a public enemy number one
I’ve worn the jump suit before
Don’t wanna wear it again
I’ve had enough of thick glass and the holding pen
I like my shoes, I like my clothes, I like my ride
I wipe the blood off, and run into the park and hide
My life is like broken glass and stealing cash
I try to live straight but that shit ain’t appealing half
As much as living hip hop
I’ve had enough of steel bars and the tasteless gravy
Blue Glass Lake
Stepping into this blue glass lake
The sound of a knife through light as your foot breaks
In a half-time sink you pad the mud floor
The smoothing effect of a water on it’s shore
This is the spot where my lover stands
This is the spot where my lover stands
Air seasky land shore
I’ll stay very close to home
I’ll stay very close
Air sea sky land shore
I’ll stay with you
Always see you
In every dream
Always sing your song
Always find you
In every thought
Always sing your song
Don’t Deny
don’t deny
don’t deny
don’t deny
that you lie
that you lie
that you lie
truth has few friends
when war helps you win
cheap gas, warmth, and
a ford excursion
hold my head
shake my mind
wear that thorn stuck in my side
hurts to breath
hurts to speak , I swear
burns me up deep
maybe that’s how they planned it
Do it Again
Catch me when I wanna be caught
And teach me when I wanna be taught
And buy me when I wanna be bought
Fight me when I wanna be fought
Then you do it again
Misinterpret again
Then you do it again
Teach me when I wanna be taught
And seek me when I wanna be saught
Buy me when I wanna be bought
And fight me when I wanna be fought
Then you do it again
Misinterpret again
Then you do it again
All my defenses melt away
My frozen shield and my armored plates
Things I said then now I don’t believe
I didn’t know much then I thought cynically
Blasted Lands
Running through the blasted lands alone
Thought dark-friends were locked in shayol ghul
Where are all my friends? Where did they go?
Where’d I get these powers? I don’t know
Not me
Can’t be
Gentle me
Save me
Every leaf and creeper meant to maim
Stick is not a stick—only in name
When I breathe, I breathe in pure decay
Heavy stale and rotten air I taste
This cold is the chill of the grave
And the rain
The longer it holds the harder it will fall
Save us all
Not chasing, they’re waiting for me
In my dreams
Deny you, deny you, I scream
Running through the blasted lands alone
Thought dark-friends were locked in shayol ghul
Where are all my friends? Where did they go?
Where’d I get these powers? I don’t know
This cold is the chill of the grave
And the rain
The longer it holds the harder it will fall
Save us all
Not chasing, they’re waiting for me
In my dreams
Deny you, deny you, I scream
Every leaf and creeper meant to maim
Stick is not a stick—only in name
When I breathe, I breathe in pure decay
Heavy stale and rotten air I taste
Blueberry Farm
On a far-away moon sat my love today
Wondering upon the pattern of the milky way
Through blue dust of white light
Through ghosts
And two anti-matter kites
In our garden and on our blueberry farm listening
All your charms blend into the dirt on the palm of the land
I, a comet hitch-hiker, happen upon her
Sitting down on the round of the cradle
Sang to Jupiter, tasted stars, and swallowed light
I, a comet hitch-hiker, happen upon her
In our garden and on our blueberry farm listening
All your charms blend into the dirt on the palm of the land
Whisper, let me whisper
There’s a start to “forever”
Whisper, let me whisper
Take my heart, I surrender
Whisper, let me whisper
There’s a start to “forever”
Whisper, let me whisper
Take my heart
I can’t
I can’t get enough of you
Egwene
In “The Ways” I feel your hand behind me
Blind we roam
For days
You’re scared
You press beside me
But I know
That
You’re not
The one for me
My destiny
You’ll be alone
Egwene, go
Please go home
To safety
I never thought it’d
Thought it’d make me turn my back
I always thought we’d
Run away and cover our tracks
Hotter in the House
Hotter in the house
It’s 97 outside in the shade where it’s always sunny
I’m sweatin while I eat
My icy pop in the street
Spent 30 dollars alone on these in the past week
Nowehere I can hide
The tires on my ride
Have melted into liquid and my car isn’t mine
I’m goin kinda nuts
Feel like makin a fuss
Throwin stones at signs as I wait for the bus
Everywhere I go
The wrong man’s got control
He’s hungry, he wants some more
Thread-worn, soiled slacks
Filthy ball cap
Extinguished, tired eyes
And a stick with a sack
Survival alone ain’t right
Life isn’t life, it’s a fight
Takes care of his dog the way a happy old man might
Nowhere I can hide
The tires on my ride
Have melted into liquid and my car isn’t mine
I’m goin’ kinda nuts
Feel like makin a fuss
Throwin stones at signs as I wait for the bus
Everywhere I go
The wrong man’s got control
He’s hungry he wants some more
Everywhere I go
It seems I know some soul
Who’s hungry enough for more
When texas falls, it’ll fall on Sunday
The hot kettle rocks burn away my feet
The temperature’s affecting folks here funny
The mob starts to march and disturb the peace
So call the police
Bombs Killed my Father
Bombs killed my father
Grief killed my mother
Rage killed my brother
and grief killed his lover
sight
gone
now I’m a pawn
hurt
wronged
now I’m a pawn
I’m disposable income I’m one
He’s gone and another’s gonna take his place
He’s runnin, he’s runnin, he’s runnin, he’s runnin, he’s runnin
Subterranean
Underneath
Every why and when
Under how and what
Under now and then
If red’s deep, then I want blue
If one’s truth, then I want two
Break the earth and shovel through
Show your teeth
And demand that right
Never fall in love
It’s a lonely life
If red’s deep, then I want blue
If one’s truth, then I want two
Break the earth and shovel through
If you dig, you better dig with a pen
If you think, you better think with your own two heads
If you talk, you must agree to listen
If you’re right, you ain’t the better man
If you’re wrong, humility is your friend
If you start it, finish it to the end
If you start it, finish it to the end
Like Ben, you better
