lyrics

You gotta cultivate your craft
You gotta get laughed at
And after that
You gotta laugh back

I was a child spokesman
Until all of the cameras broke
And my bicycle spokes
Got twisted

So I walked home
I saw a river on fire
I saw babies crying
I saw a message in the trees

And it said “release me”
I said I don’t speak no more
Then a message formed
It said “you’re getting closer”

You gotta cultivate your craft
You gotta turn back
You gotta pick up your bat
You gotta hold fast

I smiled for 10 years straight
Worked as a 7/11 cashier
Nobody ever complained
Or even noticed

Graffiti covered the windows
I couldn’t scrub it out
But I could see light peak out
Through the letters

It said “malice doesn’t exist in the world — trust me
I saw a dog on adderall
She looked at me
She had a baritone bark — roof”

You gotta cultivate your craft
You gotta get laughed at
And after that
You gotta laugh back…
