pump from okay by Brocilo Restoration

priming the pump
they'll find us in the nick of time
alive in the trunk
it was a setup, insider trading
of useful and useless mis- and disinformation

i've already lived like hundreds of lives
so what if i die a measly couple of times
there's parallel paths down caramel slats
they're sweet but they trap you
in their terrible grasp

give me a phone i prefer that it spins
i want to call and tell you my love's the most certain of things
in the darkest of nights the moon is sliced to a shaving
i'm privy to redacted, factless true information

we're out here like dummies searching for guidance
the jokers are wild, the zeros dividing
it's all fun and brainless games while money's arriving
once the money stops you better go hiding



sea sick morning on silting land
one different night on shifting sands
it was forever long ago, so the pictures don't feel like
memories of real life

singing songs in the light lost night
raw tomato on a wasp bite
vikendica my grandfather built with his hands
abandoned, starts to give in to the land

i spent my summers there
young skinny bosanac in tight underwear
in the pic i seem incredibly pissed
like i knew it's the last time this would ever exist

then in may, quarantine from droplets of lead
exhaled from guns discussing upcoming topics ahead
after hiding to survive this violence
we get a little crazy and start driving



to the adriatic and on
there's nothing like the feeling when the
sea blooms from the brush
and flowering diamonds erupt
dotting the wavy fabric with song

balanced on a saber dawn
tell you more of the story later on
we've never escaped the sense of dread
awake and seething, dense like bread we bake

they amplify our petty differences
and can't deny not having our best interests
in mind like i told john here on sunday
impeach the pres, still don't nothing move but the money

we're just priming the pump
of the almighty machine to grind into stumps
beware, first they come for the rare and chosen
then for anyone who dare oppose them
