about

Initially slated to be the first single from the cancelled upcoming album 'Tombs'. A lot of the songs from Tombs were reworked for a future release, but Aphorist will not be featured, hence making this available here.

lyrics

Crazy son of a son of a gun I'm
Tougher'n a hollow-eyed red scorpine
I may be crazy born under the wrong sign
I got insanity but man that's all mine
Red eyes on a man make some uneasy
Slip and slide I keep my low end greasy
I always startle with my wicked playstyle
A mimic gotta try to keep low profile
And I'm running on fumes man

When does wisdom turn into a cliché
When it's spat across the waves every day
Maybe that don't make it any less true
I'm not the one to offer fresh point of view

No-one really wants that
That'll ruin your weekend

I wear your wits like I know how to use it
Turn it round so I won't have to prove it
I live by all these bromide platitudes that
Have been so delicately reproduced
I don't need for writing no original content
Honest creative isn't really my intent
Man I'm so pretty and a willing student
To call me out on it would that be prudent?

The final twist
That's me aphorist
Readily dismissed
Dub me aphorist
The one you missed
Lost in aphorist
Axioms in tryst
