Rhys Langston – Eyes Dyed In Saturated Retinas lyrics

[Rhys Langston]:
Eyes dyed in saturated retinas
Eyes dyed in saturated
Eyes dyed in saturated retinas
Eyes dyed in saturated
Eyes dyed in saturated retinas
Eyes dyed in saturated
Eyes dyed in saturated retinas
Eyes dyed in saturated
Eyes dyed in saturated retinas
Eyes dyed in saturated
Eyes dyed in saturated retinas
Eyes dyed in saturated

Eyes dyed in saturated retinas
Blue light of instruments
Came from Texas
It’s said that great change to
Spawn from the elections
But sitting on electric fences
Don’t feel much like a welcome—

Head, shoulders, knees, toes
Head, shoulders, knees, toes
Head, shoulders, knees, toes
My brother’s colonists with a candid photo

Wading in the water of the
Soup of the metrics
Skin tone as an as-needed
Hat trick
Family from the old and the new
World ghettos, oppression olympics
Medaled in
Mementos

My man Solar said we the splash on the canvas
Pilgrim in the freight car bellowing “so it goes”
Up on the pedestal with a brushstroke
So I guess I’m the kosher Black gesso then

Eyes dyed in saturated retinas
Eyes dyed in saturated

Still to rise
Staid in waiting for the moment
That I blow
Etched a selfie on the front
Of the claymore
Combust a musty gesture
Of drawings of past pentimentos

I don’t see
How I should pay for
This wall that hinders me
Respectfully gone deep in their
Non-binary pussy
I was a drawbridge before
Now nondisclosure to agree

Still to rise
Staid in waiting for the moment to
Hold all the smoke
Alone in two-way mirrors
To share and self-promote
Thinking in an outside voice
A skinny hunk of flesh of
Outside jokes

I don’t see
This prescription of ethics over
This lamb over rice
Rationalizing never done saying
The same thing twice
Piecing a detritus self back
For Jamal Khashogghi

I am not the Michael Jordan
Of Delaware

(eyes dyed in saturated retinas)

Might be a partial jurist

(eyes dyed in saturated retinas)

I am unenthused to be looking
Laissez-faire in that vanity mirror

(eyes dyed in saturated retinas)

When it comes to
Miscegenating between art forms
(eyes dyed)
I’m a purist

[Chester Watson]:
Move like a genie in smoke
Nipsey and Ras G in my toast
And 2019 been a coaster
Think of my mortality as I coast

And lately been channeling ancestors
So forgive if you see me with ghosts

Me and Rhys, lsd, and some doja
All the times that I been to the ocean
And still haven't smoked weed on a boat

I need property with a moat
On some king shit
Never vibed with the mean kids
Ogs like "what you mean kid?"

Guess I'm too far out towards the deep end
But far enough where I'd sink in
Let it sink in
Your world could change as you're blinking—

[Rhys Langston]:
Eyes dyed in saturated retinas
Eyes dyed in saturated
Eyes dyed in saturated retinas
Eyes dyed in saturated
Eyes dyed in saturated retinas
Eyes dyed in saturated
Eyes dyed in saturated retinas
Eyes dyed in saturated

Light-skinned nigga on the dark web
Gopro on the pole arm
Megapixel minuscule
Refracting the side arm

In portrait mode
Punch a crypto-fascist
In the throat
Esophageal armistice in silo
Bleach blonde endangered rhino

Memes on the radio
Gruel in my cup
Double styrofoam half-life
Of a video star
Binged, upchucked

This that art rock with a
Ransom note
Through a corner office window

I want all the fire, and the brimstone
And the fucking smoke
