Protocol Songtext
Yo, I'm from another planet
Though currently, I'm stranded here where I see people clearly takin' every day for granted
Where every time I lift my ship up off the ground, it's landed
To my disadvantage, though maybe I am but a gambit
And held to another standard, if I'm completely candid
I fell in love with the language like a hopeless romantic
I display the dynamics at play and pray it's organic
This has been my reality, maybe I'm schizophrenic
Maybe I'm just a candidate havin' his chip implanted
Maybe this is a fantasy, maybe I'm disenchanted
Though currently, I'm stranded here where I see people clearly takin' every day for granted
Where every time I lift my ship up off the ground, it's landed
To my disadvantage, though maybe I am but a gambit
And held to another standard, if I'm completely candid
I fell in love with the language like a hopeless romantic
I display the dynamics at play and pray it's organic
This has been my reality, maybe I'm schizophrenic
Maybe I'm just a candidate havin' his chip implanted
Maybe this is a fantasy, maybe I'm disenchanted
What if they just abandon me? Maybe it's how they planned it
Crazy there's still a scar on my shoulder where I was branded
The protocol is overhaul, I am not a know-it-all
But I need more than motor oil, signage on a broken door
Said sayonara, au revoir, I'm already spoken for
Focus on finally doin' somethin' on my own accord
These trees know me
At ease, I'll forever be
My soul, you could not keep
You probably don't know how to read
These [?][1:00] trees know me
At ease, I'll forever be
My soul, you could not keep
You probably don't know how to read
These [?], they're part of me
Calling Orson, come in, Orson
They must be blind as fortune
To make such major offers and give just a minor portion Then die, one of the corpses inside a designer coffin
We find on Philly's Northside that Susquehanna–Dauphin
Sometimes they try to soften the blow, but it's not as often
This life'll have you starvin' and sufferin' from heat exhaustion
Upon the line, I teeter, it's harder for me to cross it
Unless the universe take a hold of my hand and force it
The protocol is overhaul, show me what you zonin' on
How you gon' get in touch with your spirit when its phone is off?
How they back you into a corner, then hold that over y'all?
Then expect me to show this love that wasn't shown to y'all?
Signage on the closin' doors said, "This ain't even home to y'all"
Now I see that more and more, so sayonara, au revoir
Just get me to that pyramid my flyin' saucer floatin' towards
I'm laser focusin' on doin' somethin' on my own accord
These trees know me
At ease, I'll forever be
My soul, you could not keep
You probably don't know how to read
These [?] trees know me
At ease, I'll forever be
My soul, you could not keep
You probably don't know how to read
These [?], they're part of me
Crazy there's still a scar on my shoulder where I was branded
The protocol is overhaul, I am not a know-it-all
But I need more than motor oil, signage on a broken door
Said sayonara, au revoir, I'm already spoken for
Focus on finally doin' somethin' on my own accord
These trees know me
At ease, I'll forever be
My soul, you could not keep
You probably don't know how to read
These [?][1:00] trees know me
At ease, I'll forever be
My soul, you could not keep
You probably don't know how to read
These [?], they're part of me
