Buffer Rings
 Lyrics by Otis Mensah

Mum’s House, Philosopher

2018

Verse 1
My lack of sleep has got me casting seas of thought
Facetious
Bereavements under my sheets
I'm bleeding to pause my feelings
I talk to trees & spoke to ocean blues
They whisper secrets
A cyst on my bliss so I stutter lisps when I talk of dreams
But the system assist your suicide
Soul search
It hurts to see this
Coerced and forced into a corner
More reason to catch a misdemeanour
I simmer my mania and taught my mind
To take the scenic route
I fall for autumn the lines blurred like seasons
I plead for perseverance
I ain't the first to preach this
A thirst for freedom
While I nurse the beat
From here to idillic beaches
Calluses on my feet because it burns to be this
I tried to pry myself out the house
Richard Prior to this self-inflicted confinement
I'd laugh at life
I'm just trying to pass the time
Sleep the masochist inside
Who tried to push me in a box that's casket size
I swim against the tide
It's A-priori
Find satire when Titanic's capsize like...
Chorus
Time on layaway
 tired of lag time
Lost in the latency
Sleepy and lagging behind
Bored in purgatory
Waiting for judgement day
Sealing fate would mean I'm closed to change
I doze away
This life is like some buffer rings
Just buffering
(yeah)
Devoted to the wait and cause like Suffragettes
(yeah)
The bridge between the here & now
And choir sings
Potential & this actuality
Two different things
Verse 2
I always feel as though I'm waiting for something to happen
I kick my sheets off
Scratch my eyes
The reoccurring pattern
The sunshine tickles my eyes
Time lapses
Tracking ego-collapses when pride shatters
Through days of creative dry patches
Mindless matters
Left numb in the night
Indulging in self
 dissociate like annulments
Flip the mattress:
Forget it happened
Product of the mechanism
Fake-news
Internet-religion
Blocking Futurism
Just staring
Feeding my cynicism
You made some millions off manipulating mass decision
But whose helping who
If you're filthy rich off the people's issues?
You're nothing but a self-help crook
And you're a better man than me with that vegan cookbook
See I'm just trying to eat like you
But I'm a slave to the gut
Waiting for the better side of me
From the mountain to come
Tumbling down
I stretch to higher states
My ideal is altruistic
Go hard in the brail
Can't see me but feel my soul encrypted
Chorus
Time on layaway
Tired of lag time
Lost in the latency
Sleepy and lagging behind
Bored in purgatory
Waiting for judgement day
Sealing fate would I'm closed to change
I doze away
This life is like some buffer rings
Just buffering
(yeah)
Devoted to the wait and cause like Suffragettes
(yeah)
The bridge between the here & now
And choir sings
Potential & this actuality
Two different things
This life is like some buffer rings
Just buffering
(yeah)
Devoted to the wait and cause like Suffragettes
(yeah)
The bridge between the here & now
And choir sings
Potential & this actuality
Two different things
Outro
