about

A song of affirmation. If sung loud enough and often enough, it might become enbodied.

He's reckless and irresponsible. He acts without thinking and constantly gets in trouble because of his temper. He has dynamic mastery of unlimited creative expression. Despite not being labeled such, he is major.

Prepared's second invocation of Guy Picciotto.

-------------

lyrics

At the end of the day
take off my work clothes
like I'm shedding skin
At the meet of crossed destinies
says the knave of cups: Affirm thyself
drink with me, drink it deep
swallow it whole
In the prescence of my enemies
I survey the table
and eat my belly full

strike out like fire
and move like king shit
dance with yr eyes closed
there is no one there
like you have the magic touch,
work around the dead keys
like they're a part of the scale
devil's waltz all down the block

I break the fence
I cut and run where the spirit leads
I shoulder the weight
every pound that's bound to my back
give me a hardship that I might sidestep it

give me a basketball hoop
that I might move through it
give me a hardship that I might transcend it

I overflow with spring
they can't touch me
I breathe a lungfill
they can't touch me
I am a knight of wands and
they can't touch me
with flower in my hair
they can't touch me
I am a knight of wands and
they can't touch me
I fly high on a P-wing
they can't touch me
I am a knight of wands and
they can't touch me
I'm a knight of wands
I'm a knight of wands
