[Verse: NAHreally]
In the middle of a bite of pizza I noticed my teeth
Aren’t exactly what they used to be
Don’t get me wrong they get the job done fine
But years of mid-slumber clenching and grinding
Have rendered them slightly less sharp
I’m painfully reminded that I’m just body parts
That are bound to break down ’cause the ticket’s one way—
Equipment rented out for an indefinite stay
My ankles creak, and my left pinky’s bent
Wrinkles and scars and muscles that tense
From once-fluid movements now risky to try
Grays on my scalp fill bags under my eyes
The weight of existence, the price of admission
The bitter result of a taste so delicious
I’m breaking down in real time, it’s hard to ignore
But the dying is the living, and it’s what I’m here for

[Chorus]
Said, I’m breaking down in real time, it’s hard to ignore
But the dying is the living, and it’s what I’m here for
Yo, the weight of existence is the price of admission—
The bitter result of a taste so delicious
Said, I’m breaking down in real time, it’s hard to ignore
But the dying is the living, and it’s what I’m here for
Yo, the weight of existence is the price of admission—
The bitter result of a taste so delicious
[Verse: Open Mike Eagle]
There are also highlights. My baby boy is almost my height
I saw Where’s Waldo in Highlights magazine
I’d like to thank the academy
I should have made more people mad at me
I trained in 1.5 times gravity
To drive past fries and a burger. The invention of the eye implies an observer
I’ve got a favorite burner on the stove
No more Fat Burger on the go
Go clean the garage, son. I’ve got a semi-auto massage gun;
My lower lumbar is not fun
I’m searching for the enemy. I’m searching for the purpose of a memory
I’m searching for something to feel certain
I don’t know if this room needs curtains
Or what tool removes these circuits
What’s it all for? To record our experience
Why so serious? Get old but please stay curious
