Leaving Traces Lyrics by DEADPAN

THREADING BLOODLINES

2020

[Verse 1]
Living with this shit so consistent in my history; don't tell me, “read a primary source”
Withhold quibbles, I’m a scribe of the physical world
Little remorse while commissioning a missing-from-the-library lore
Walk the route; nom de plume on the back of the sign
Illicit rendezvous; split, clapped with a fine
Adjudicating fractal designs, crime with the mop tip
For sweeping under the rugged written test
Fork in the scaffolding, bludgeon it ‘til it's picaresque
Well-intentioned pupils and understudies to intercept
Savants lit my rebuttal up with a cigarette
Bankteller asks me why I have to pre-write my own signature
Not used to the government tags
But fluent in arcane symbols and sketching out integers
Can't build this tradition orally
Word of mouth is the perfect sound for the kill switch from the authority
Keep account of my faint existence folklorically
Tunnel vision on the etched-in blemishes, you know it’s not the only way to look though
Tryna flesh out the subaltern world by embellishing the sterile with my footnotes
[Verse 2]
Skin-punching needle much to their chagrin
Stuck with the locksmith
Threads of decrepit records chucked in the dustbin
Rocks kicking little tops drilling mosh pits, but
Wrinkled flesh with the cobwebs wrapped, so it's pulled tight
Black and blanco fades to green and mestizo
Chop an arboretum up with a dull knife
What do those tattoos really mean to you?
Did you read my rigor mortis forehead yet?
Torso's a Rorschach Test
Fresh blood, I bore that crest
From a historical perspective, corporal permanence is rigid format's death
Rest in corrupted coating; picked off the only living Lorax left
[Outro]
Let the wretched relics drench me from my head to my toes
There's not a speck of respectable ways
Walking barbarity etched into stone
Let the wretched relics drench me from my head to my toes
There's not a speck of respectable ways
Walking barbarity etched into stone
