Agglomerate (More Than I Am)

Liner Notes
thought I would take it EASY since i'm BEHIND
Lyrics
I gave it what it wants I guess it wanted more And when I gave it more It emptied out my pockets And when I wanted more I sought to make excuses But the wind Wiped my verbiage clean In the end
I can’t Contend with All the scores Of men With plans Seeking out a trophy To drag back to their hoard
Even though They can’t discern the difference Even though The sun will bleach their skulls Just as sure as it’s
Unprecedented I don’t wrestle with it Lest I be built too tall To ever try to stand, I’m Consolidated With all of the rest Make me more than i am Make me more than i am
Agglomerated In the palm of my hand Crush the soil and sediment Into an aggregate Don’t mention it I don’t want credit for this Just make me more than I am Make me more than I am
What a sickly little thing Is someone forcing you to sing? Or is your jaw half open Because you’re happy to see me? It hurts to be healthy I wonder if you heard me Extolling the virtues Of a practice i don’t preach
And I can’t Pretend that All the stories’ valences speak To quell my Appetite When there’s a happy ending All I can see is meat
Even though I should discern the difference Even though The flesh tastes just like mine Just as sure as I’m
Unprecedented I don’t wrestle with it Lest I be built too tall To ever try to stand, I’m Consolidated With all of the rest Make me more than i am Make me more than i am
Agglomerated In the palm of my hand Crush the soil and sediment Into an aggregate Don’t mention it I don’t want credit for this Just make me more than I am Make me more than I am
I’ve got plastic wings And a notebook full of Outcomes that are bittersweet And congratulations To someone else Written in a language that I will never speak It’s a well earned feast Supplicated from All the ones who dragged It back to the hoard But it’s left to my discerning eye To pick the parts that nourish me Even though I have discerned the difference Even though It’s ashes in my mouth Just as sure as I’m
Unprecedented I don’t wrestle with it Lest I be built too tall To ever try to stand, I’m Consolidated With all of the rest Make me more than i am Make me more than i am
Agglomerated In the palm of my hand Crush the soil and sediment Into an aggregate Don’t mention it I don’t want credit for this Just make me more than I am Make me more than I am
Different. Unique. I really like the offbeat rhythm in this. And this is such an unusual, and interesting melody. It's daring and different. Your musical soundscape backing this is gorgeous too. This is a long piece, but it grew on me more and more the more I listened, which itself is very fitting with your lyrics. I love this to bits!
