Awkward

It's like something sick It's like It's like scratching the head trying to figure it out It's like staring at the ground It's like finding your feet without looking down It's like the crowd below you screaming "don't look down" It's like a wink with a scowl It's like learning to swim Like learning to drown It's the little things So hold it down It's something else A self-help book without the help Something like selflessness without the self Half amazing It's the same thing conveyor belts (It's the same thing conveyor belts) It's a daydream It's like Akira waking up It's like Takashi's face the moment he got snuffed It's like a wolf in sheep's clothing munching pedigree chum It's like front-page news about celebrity bums It's like diamonds Forever, in the rough It's as if I didn't play clever dick enough It's like I'm fucked if I know It's like a bucket with holes It's like winner stays on I won one in a row Two two's it's nothing to see it's just something to show For all those sleepless nights Squeeze life in between lines on the page Something to hold when the creek runs dry And time sneaks by like a thief in the rain Or a face on the train - Jacobs ladder Tasteless and vain - Jane and Dada I don't know what that is but that doesn't matter I was busy being braggadocious patronising rapper It's like something ambiguous and deep Springing a leak Crack in the hourglass figure of speech It's little old me I'm punching in the coordinates Amidst a smorgasbord of 80s toys and assorted Indian ornaments Insubordinate Bored of the tournament Forced to contort to the laws of conformity According to sources we saw him consorting with Forms that he's drawn nothing short of transformative Or glorious Reportedly skin crawls at the mere thought of it Life's been awfully awkward I've been in awe of all of it
