Song Review: “Phantasmagoria” by Anthony Ruptak | A Rock Discovery

Lyrics of Anthony Ruptak – Phantasmagoria

it’s been both a short time
and a very, very long time too
i got a feelin’

i’ll walk til my heart stops
making space for the next man’s shoes
it’s gonna have to do

well it’s a crazy goddamn hell of a mess we made
it’s a shot rock, stopped clock, hell of a bleak parade
it’s a long line, wrong mind, liminal dime arcade
it’s a crazy goddamn hell of a mess we made

it’s hardly enough time
to get a sense of what makes you
you’re likely to miss it

getting snagged in your lifelines
using up near the whole damn spool
you’re such a beautiful misfit

well it’s a crazy goddamn hell of a mess we made
it’s a cheap-shot, tik-tok, weapon of mass decay
it’s a blue pill, phone bill, throwing it all away
it’s a crazy goddamn hell of a mess we made

don’t you think that i look cool
swimmin’ round in the gene pool, babe?
ain’t i got something to say

i’m hanging on to the old school
but won’t you show me all your cool new ways
that we can pass the days
phantasmagorical haze
phantasmagorical haze

well it’s a crazy goddamn hell of a mess we made
it’s a white collar crime, lithium mine, last of the last crusades
it a blue line, good time, less lethal hand grenade
it’s a crazy goddamn hell of a mess we made

it’s a crazy goddamn hell of a mess we made
it’s a crazy goddamn hell of a mess we made
it’s a crazy goddamn hell of a mess we made
it’s a crazy goddamn hell of a mess we made
