letra de the trial of herman o. dagwood - hermitofthewoods

[verse 1]
i stand accused of singing the blues so truthfully
that i destroyed the way it used to be
and poisoned the solutions
these chains are the same
that have shackled countless millions
supervillains can’t be contained in prison buildings
i haven’t k!lled anyone, in fact, i’ve done the opposite
be responsible for yourself
don’t act like it’s the apocalypse
reacting to hostile acts with the logic of a hostage
i have a right to live my life – it’s all i’ve ever wanted
but i’m haunted in this county by charges of corruption
and ghosts from the asylum whose tactics are disgusting
i rap over repercussions and ethical baselines
while they give chase
and whisper names through grapevines
i roam free, but i don’t walk among the living
cause living
means you have to allow yourself to be forgiven
if that’s the difference, mine’s a liminal existence
half in, half out – not acquitted or convicted

[pre chorus 1]
mind shattered dreams scatter on the edge of disaster
the superficial matters – mad hatters have the last word
as that feeling starts rising in the chest
it’s best to press on
just walk through the stress with a bulletproof vest on

[chorus]
i used to know where the crows go
when the snow begins to blow
but the roads all froze below the streetlamp glow
dogs fight over bones and people lose their homes
i am not the problem – it’s just the way that it goes
the way i play it depends upon the way it’s composed
i’m trying to stay warm – love’s dark season is cold
don’t believe what you’re told
no matter how loud they moan
no throne can impose a harsher sentence than my own

[verse 2]
i am the defence, the prosecution, and the judge
transcriber of things that should not be spoken of
am i guilty? sure, but then what the h-ll is innocence?
name a single citizen
whose membership’s free of blemishes
ever since i’ve done those things i’ve been tormented
and every single day it’s a struggle not to end it
fly away to uruguay, sneak across the border
bela horizonte beyond the reach of bench orders
but tracks and applejacks
are just two reasons that i’m fighting
think what you will but i love this broken life
i know what i must do
cause i won’t let them do this to me
was spoken by bruce li
when he got b-mrushed in a movie
the man and the myth cannot coexist in this reality
say what you want about me, i
’m a man who sleeps soundly
i do feel like i’m broken down and nervous
but i still have to pick myself up
and work around the verdict

[pre chorus 2]
respect to all of those who’d testify on my behalf
it’s because of you i’ve made it back
when i slipped through the cracks
i learn things cause every time i burn things a bird sings
and i can steal the melody when my own aren’t working
