Pharaohs from Seen by The James Rocket

Outsider art is a suicide pact
Locked in a box until after the fact
A treasure trove if you find it
For years and years no one gave a shit
If you promise to be long gone it's a buyer's market

The plainest text is a secret code
Everyone reads but nobody knows
The hieroglyphic wall
Somehow survived the fall
Now your recipes will puzzle archaeologists
For years to come

But if we sing sweet
Will you love us to death
Should we hold out
Hold our breath
Do you dig it cause we dig it and we'll bury it with us

Bury your kings in the desert where they may be found
Nobody got cred like the underground
Nobody understands
What we buried in the sands
They'll make careers making up what you meant
Now that you're not around

But if we sing sweet
Will you love us to death
Should we hold out
Hold our breath
Do you dig it cause we dig it and we'll bury it with us

Cause time doesn't tell
And time doesn't heal
It only destroys
Don't worry about it
There's nothing to get
We're just making noise

If you're lucky they'll use you for medicine
Powder you up for art
The perfect brown for your ground up heart
Your legacy is saved
When they drag you from the grave
Congratulations you made a start

If we sing sweet
Will you love us to death
Should we hold out
Hold our breath
Do you dig it cause we dig it and we'll bury it with us

Yeah if we sing sweet
Will you love us to death
Should we hold out
Hold our breath
Do you dig it cause we dig it and we'll bury it with us
