the Clean Waiter (in alphabetic-soupic Vaporwave)

from Skin and Bones (Vaporwave mixes) by Coz the Shroom

lyrics

there was a clean waiter
who brought me some bread
nothing quite as empty
as the light upon his head
In a room full of people
talking out loud
I never seen a reason
for a mouth to open
I never seen a reason
and show that it was proud
I asked him for some tea
And smiled before he left
nothing quite as trodden on than values with some heft
it was cold outside
hollow as a worm
and inside people stripped
inside people stripped
inside people stripped and made believe they were warm
but I couldn't be clean in vain
I'm aware of great dominion in pain
and I couldn't chew another piece of bread
knowing every fool to waste it
was starving or dead...
there was a clean waiter
who expected a tip
nothing really started it
my heart just heard a rip
I pulled a jolly rifle
full of godly fire out
I never seen a reason
for a mouth to open
I never seen a reason
and show that it was proud
