the art of discomfort - black earth theory lyrics

[intro]

i’m going way too fast now

you f-cked up, dude

[verse 1: black earth theory]

perfecting the art of discomfort
no scratchy wool rug to slip under
there’s caverns and crannies and cavities within my body you haven’t yet plundered

perfecting the art of discomfort
no comforting coma to smother
there’s caverns and crannies and cavities within my body you’ll see on the harvest day

[verse 2: black earth theory]

parlay, split the pi ratio
quant-tate, mince words into ham radio
occam’s razor under my tongue
cut it out, now paleo
close shave, almost said too much
i’ll take the blow
air out of my grievances
fill the air with speechlessness
nestled next to braille
you felt you could see in this
human conversation
is too intoxicating
i’ll turn that small talk
to an awkward situation

(that’s why i’m bout to get myself a strap)

[verse 3: black earth theory]

quantize, reductionist methods, we compress
but the simplest way to end this conversation is the best
or the endless way to simplify conversations the best
is the conversion method to prevent simple words being said

[bridge 1: black earth theory]

how’s your day? (how’s your day?)
how’s the weather up there?
down the rain (down the rain)
never mind the heaven up there
house of pain (house of pain)
where the rising sun’s square
down the drain (down the drain)
how’d you end up down there?
power games (power games)

[verse 4: black earth theory]

fit a spiral in prism peg
bootleg out the trunk
the pirate’s still booty
wife-beater on my femur
but the hollow sound woody
split the words three ways
but they all in equal parts (yeah)
just divide the pie rate, vibrate
or a ménage a trois
everything’s s-x, see how your mouth waters
nah, oedipus rex, what’s a man without daughters?
uncomfortable yet? or the opposite effect
does a positive inflection make it harder to digest?
does the k!lling of your father king you or do you still jest?
in the court of courtiers the course is courtship or incest
wait, are we conversing versed in the order you’d suggest?
i should probably ask you out to dinner first before i crowbar
an answer out of a question that i have yet to ask so far

[bridge 2: black earth theory]

(aye)
where you from?
who you know?
where you stay? (where you stay?)
howdy neighbor!
how’s the family?
how’s your day? (how’s your day?)
where you from?
who you know?
whatchu say? (whatchu say?)
howdy neighbor!
how’s the family?
how’s your day?
(how’s your day, how’s your day, how’s your day)

(get ready)

[verse 5: black earth theory]

you either watching or seeing, gawking or peeping
talking; i speak every possible sequence
follow the leader but not what they preaching
i’m popping a lock on a closeted secret
talking to watches and follow its leading
impossibly locked in a closeted sequence
eyes pop when i peep and i gawk at the secret
it’s not what they preach it’s how god made ’em speak it
walking is talking to god with your feet
off with the god head, the offering peaked
sorry i sing in the awkwardest key
the gospel is meant to be toggled and tweaked
sorry i tweak i’m so awkward to meet
please take the offerings off of my feet
talking to me is like talking to god
if talking to god is like toggling keys

[coda: black earth theory]

perfecting the art of discomfort
the scratchy wool blanket you’re under
there’s caverns and crannies and cavities within your body you haven’t yet plundered

perfecting the art of discomfort
the guts and the skin that they’re under
there’s caverns and crannies and cavities within your body you haven’t discovered yet

[outro]

(handle that sh-t on your own time. i don’t care what she did to y’all like on your personal time, but that was on your personal time, handle that sh-t on your personal time. don’t f-ckin’- like you know what i mean? like, what the f-ck bro, that sh-t f-cking disturbed me.)

(wake up, grab a brush and put a little make up
[?])
