lyrics
We’re standing out in the middle of a graveyard/
Sore thumbs from the shovels that can break hearts/
The ceremony doesn’t need face forward/
It’s a eulogy, & rappers need to stay home/
Two fists to the sky, punch a hole in it/
Newsworthy when we fly through the open ending/
The only direction to move is vertical/
What’s your name again? Nah, I never heard of ya!/
Gimme the keys to the van, that’s what’s up!/
Half these emcees never please, pass the cup/
And when the trees lose their leaves, that’s enough/
And nothing of importance will exist after us/
It’s automatic how they’re acting all erratic/
And the standard individual is awfully under average/
There’s a casket and a catalog to cover up the damage/
Recognize the aftermath that’s covered up in bandages.
Don’t try to talk when the body bag zips/
It’s Input + Broken, the cardiac kids/
It’s time for some action and all of that shit/
Doesn’t even matter when the heart attack hits/
Stop making this seem larger than life/
Watch what we do when we’re carving with knives/
Lost and confused in the art of disguise/
It’s not a hard thing to do when you’re harboring lies/
The body hasn’t suffered yet, we targeted the head/
They’re offering another one to balance out the dead/
And where the wild things are, there’s a stereo/
Playing this on repeat, welcome to your burial/
Maybe in another life you’ll get second chance/
But what we’re learning isn’t coming from the lesson plans/
We just have to improvise and generate/
Silver bullet masterpieces coming out from center stage/
What did you expect from the two of us/
Party killers on the Howard Payne tour bus/
Barflies follow suit, when the cards flop/
Cardiac kids toasting when your heart stops.
Don’t try to talk when the body bag zips/
It’s Input + Broken, the cardiac kids/
It’s time for some action and all of that shit/
Doesn’t even matter when the heart attack hits/
