    It's such a mood to listen to this while traveling in the city.

    She's so good. It is a colossal sin that this video doesn't have millions of views.

    I come back to this song every few years and incredibly cathartic

    The line, "I come here every night to work and you can grab an axe, man, or you can step aside" vibrates through me.

    You can grab an ax man or you can step aside. PREACH.

    Swimming in a snifter
    Pretty as a picture
    Don't get it twisted man, her bite is a bitch
    You can name, you can keep her
    But take care when you feed her
    You never can take the fight out the fish
    Chomping at the drill bit
    Never one to still sit
    You can test my metal with a magnet and some tin snips
    Ink test all I see is canines and some wing tips
    Pilot pen in pocket I'm riding instinct and Ink jets
    Around here we don't like talk of big dreams
    To stand out is a pride, a conceit
    To aim high is to make waves to split seams
    But that's not what it seems like to me
    Cause I wanna try I wanna risk
    And I don't wanna walk, rather swing and miss
    I'm not above apologies but I don't ask permission
    Got a lot of imperfections but I don't count my ambition in em
    Zeno's Arrow never hits the mark
    It's always hanging there over its shadow
    Safe from battle, waste of arch-
    Er's time and trouble
    Waste of effort, waste of parts
    If you don't aim for the center it's a waste of the art
    I didn't come looking for love
    I didn't come to pick a fight
    I didn't come to wave or take pictures
    Pander to some benefactor, ring on every broken finger
    Won't extend my wings to be clipped
    I know the culture here is to stay humble but shit
    If we all go round bowed heads, button-lipped
    If none of us go for the bell, then who is?
    My mother says I've loved too many men
    But I took and left something in every single bed
    The rook can look left, right-just turns his head
    But the knight might rise up, investigate the grid
    Gender, genre, guess I'm on one
    Bent both
    Just the constructs of the old world
    Gone broke
    Women, children let me tell you
    I've been both
    And it's a myth we all swim for the life boats
    I didn't come looking for love
    I didn't come looking for a fight
    I come here every night to work
    And you can grab an axe, man
    Or you can step aside
    Zeno's Arrow never hits the mark
    It's always hanging there over its shadow
    Safe from battle, waste of arch-
    Er's time and trouble
    Waste of effort, waste of parts
    If you don't aim for the center it's a waste of the art
    Self taught, self made, bet, self styled
    Self saw, self came, self took island of converts
    To conquer is old school
    We marching in Converse
    Just armed with our own tools
    While my knees still flex
    While my joints hold steady
    Mind sharp, spine straight
    Chucks laced ready
    I travel by kite, travel light
    At touchdown
    I swallowed the dice
    I make my own luck now
    Zeno's Arrow never hits the mark
    It's always hanging there over its own shadow in the dark
    Its own shadow in the dark

    Now I'm wondering what it means to put ambitions into imperfections.

    So underrated your voice was better than I expected the first time I heard you live. You've always spoken to me beyond gender or other subsections of humanity it's the heart it beats like vivid blasts of light.

    Does anybody know where that string sample in this song is from? Sounds like an asian instrument.

    You can test metal with a magnet and some tin snips.
