The Buttress - Aesthetic lyrics
[The Buttress - Aesthetic lyrics]
My constitution is empty
I am merely an aesthetic
An idea of something like motion
Kinesthetic from my platform where I sit
Chained i address the senate
Weeping, gnashing teeth spotlit, spectacle
Unrepentant wait, you felt that too?
I thought only I could see 'em
The birds of prey that circle
Overhead like demon beings
Trapped in a dream, within a dream
Within a dream, within a Halloween dream
(spooky) represented only by Aesthetic -
Like a movie screen 2D
Space Jam mass shooting
8 chan yea I got jokes
I'm so goofy do the most
Looney Tune a ghost (ghost)
Picking toads with Mickey
Licking sticky notes eyes like pizza pies
Under moon crying out to god like
Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
They go to the fiery fire and fry
Draw straws with Nostradamus
Waiting for me to show up (partytime)
Oh, I tremble i am just aesthetic
If you strip me of my image
Then there'd be nothing left
What's my likeness? Can you guess?
In whose image was I fashioned?
Perhaps what I represent surpasses
All logic or ration (False idol)
I've such sights to show you
Electric, prophetic
Feel my pain, taste my pleasures
They cannot be named or measured again I ask
What's my likeness, can you guess?
After whose image was I fashioned after?
Try your best
Just follow sounds of laughter and
The stench of death
Oh, my time is running out
And my image still as hollow as
These words that fall from mouth
Between two pillars, stand like Sampson
My eyes from me they gouged
So now I enter into final act
To perform for my final crowd
Though you've taken my sight
I'm still one for those who behold me
And though I've no body
Yours will grow decrepit and old
While my aesthetic lives forever, Amen
With no beginning or end to tell
Made in my own image portrait of an artist
Likeness of my own self
I'll see you all in hell
I am merely an aesthetic
An idea of something like motion
Kinesthetic from my platform where I sit
Chained i address the senate
Weeping, gnashing teeth spotlit, spectacle
Unrepentant wait, you felt that too?
I thought only I could see 'em
The birds of prey that circle
Overhead like demon beings
Trapped in a dream, within a dream
Within a dream, within a Halloween dream
(spooky) represented only by Aesthetic -
Like a movie screen 2D
Space Jam mass shooting
8 chan yea I got jokes
I'm so goofy do the most
Looney Tune a ghost (ghost)

Licking sticky notes eyes like pizza pies
Under moon crying out to god like
Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
