[Lyric] Let the band play (Calamity Jones)

In modern days
I try to think of ways
To stave in expression
Until I cave in
Now to think of ways
To placate depression
When my left brain hits recession
Amending trends inside my head
Defending by Otamendi
Depleting goodness in plenty
Instead of betting all my checks
I'll spend the rest on a necklace
Stretched outta hemp, until I get faklempt
Attempt to step down
And my shoelace is twisted, I'm slippin'
Opposite of ascеnsion
But then get caught
I'm in a knot locked up in lonеly suspension

[Hook]
Now let the band play
Hoping that this ain't another damned place
A castle long as you can keep the sand safe
Let the band play
Nothing like the sun up on your last day
So you just gotta get it while you can mate
And let the band play
And so I'm left here dolo and hangin'
If only I could swang an inch or two forward
Momentum would get me goin'
To step onto the stool that I used to sit in
That's looking now more like the of edge of abyss and
I got my pants full of piss and
There's not a chance this is the final dance that I had envisioned
I feel my spinal cord aligning more with tiles in floors
But all the while my own eyes are cryin', might be the force
Or pressure under neck, I try like heck to pull in a breath
Y-- (coughing fit)
It's just some shit to get off my chest
I hope this letter said it better than I ever could have
I put my heart in something just to get it stomped with a sneaker
But we need silence as we test the loud speaker
(Shhh, shut the fuck up!)

[Hook]
Now let the band play
Hoping that this ain't another damned place
A castle long as you can keep the sand safe
Let the band play
Nothing like the sun up on your last day
So you just gotta get it while you can mate
And let the band play
