and often these days
i find myself wondering
oh so often these days
i find myself wandering

with softening edges
through staggering lines
with a shadow that stands
so stark & defined--

and often these days
its like i'm always seized in wakin'
oh so often these days
-
it like i can feel the walls within me breakin' (down)--
to taste of the sweat and the fear that leaves me shaken (now)

i better keep it in line now and keep it down real low
gotta keep it encrypted and keep it in code
oh keep it down now and keep it down real low
keep it down so loud now that everybody knows

that lately these days
i feel like a walking contradiction
and it seems sometimes these days
as though i've found a new addiction

in softening my edges
on the borders of obscene
and always toeing the line between
these polar extremes

and lately these days
i cant seem to get a grip on the reality
that always this plagues
--
and its such a simple concept steeped in complexity
conflicting desires welling within the realms of fantasy
but i don't think ill be able to reconcile with this duality
so instead i'm just baskin' in the ominonymity
is it wrong to bask in the ominonymity

(but i know i just have to) keep it in line now and keep it down real low got me wound up so tight i'm about to implode
but oh keep it down keep it down real low
and keep it down keep it bound where no one will dare to go

gotta keep it down keep it down real low
and keep it encrypted always keep it in code
keep it down now and keep it down real low
keep it down so loud now that everybody knows
keep it down so loud now that everybody knows

about all the soft edges
and the rough outlines
in the staggering sway
of desires confined
to the captivity of shadows
all up and down the street
with a mind so debauched
and a body not so discreet

and ill keep it down so loud now that everybody knows
that i'm just baskin' in the ominonymity
if yr askin' its just the ominonymity
i'm just baskin' in the ominonymity...
