  • Written By: Walker
Breathing heavy candles.
Cut a face from a smile.
Preserve the torch; it's imperative.
So douse some fuel on the fire.

Some dogs get whale eye.
Got a nose for that sea spice.
I wish that I had strength like that.
Dominion over my chemistry.

Didn't you know?
The camel's out of water.
The dog sweat on the seat.
Had me slippin' like a creep.

Haven't you heard?
They worked out double standards.
Apply only to me.
Finally, it's working.
Ambergris.

Sculpting confidence with chimney smoke.
Record my weight in kidney stones.
CFCs gnaw at my intellect.
Colour coding my lymph nodes.

Anthropomorphise everything.
Use my blowhole like a microphone.
Every night I dream that you will see.
The harpoon that I've grown to need.

Apropos,
The camel's out of water.
The dog sweat on the seat.
Had me slippin' like a creep.

Ergo,
I worked out double standards.
Apply only to me.
Finally, it's working.
Ambergris.
