[Lyric] Possums (Displace (Band))

[V1]
Coming home from a day in the life
Front door, phone keys in hand
Little shadow come creeping
Up outta the bush

He says “Away!
You bipedal meat sack!
This is my shrub!”
(Uh... what?)

But I didn’t get hurt or mad
Offended or sad
Good or bad
Subtract or add
I just didn’t care

I don’t know why he was surprised
At my indifference to his cries
Possums waste no space in my mind
(That’s right)
So he started
Lobbing insults, derisions
And other whack opinions
Tryna tell me how to live my life
He recommended I go fck myself;
But I did not heed his advice


[PC]
Possums thrive inside your plights
Tryna fight to spite your fortunes
Cloud your mind with
Criticizing slights

But I can’t even find a reason why
I should have to consider perspectives
From lesser entities
Who’re best left rejected

They might have opinions
But hold no dominion
Over my pursuit of universal truth
That’s why I choose the prudent life


[CH]
Always be receptive
To your strongest links
But don’t forget to forget
What the possums think
(POSSUUUUUUUUUUMS!)

[V2]
Now I gotta tell you bouta
Icky little tricky little
Sticky little situation

Not every possum
Slithers and stalks
Some bitterly walk
On two legs and talk
Belittle and balk
And bring you down!
Projecting imperfections
With defective interjections
Aggressively objecting
To truth

You may be tempted to attempt
To ease their discontent
And appease their
Resentful contention

But don’t be caught off top by
Possums playing possum
Cuz that ain’t a game
That you can ever win

[V3]
So while they’re playing in the dirt
I will restate and assert
Some are blatant and overt
Some are snaky and covert

What’s the difference when we learn
That their opinion don’t concern
Us and to listen is absurd
Cuz they’re just

Projecting imperfections
With defective interjections
Aggressively objecting to
Truth

You may be tempted to attempt
To ease their discontent
And appease their
Resentful contention

But don’t be caught off shop by
Possums playing possum
Cuz that ain’t a game
That you can ever win
