Choke Parade - Ceschi

Barely noticed puberty as hair grew subtly onto my virgin flesh

Permanently burning away at my baby fat chest

«Ceschi the stretch marks from when you were 16 are still there to tell you

that you’re going nowhere»

Fast at least

No masterpiece will last a week

While giants and dragons jump onto the canvas sheet

How you gonna prove you’re not another sucker with a dream

Living under your Grandpa’s roof in a room with your brother

All of us want to be someone better

Until the moment when the ominous comes

And jumps stomps on our festival

It’s a fucking rainy day

Plain and gray

In Connecticut waiting for a saving grace

To take us away

And it’s just

One quick moment for the parade to arrive

In just one moment all the floats will choke the sky

One quick moment for the parade to arrive

In just one moment all the floats will choke the sky

Helium filled monstrosities wave in the wind above a cheering crowd

That’s tearing down our city

Simply with the blaring sound

Of «Oohs» and «Ahhs»

And huge applause

As people scurry to catch a glimpse of balloons in fog

Everybody in LA was looking for a lucky break

But all I really wanted was to get out of that fucking place

I never wanted to be that big blimp in a parade

That just sits in deep haze

Waiting for the day that it deflates

Then we’ll chuckle in sync

Like after Snarf jokes on Thundercats episodes

We’ll reminisce about bullshit we walked through on this wretched road

It was a mess, I know

Tough to pass the test of growth

But we never let those foes

Question our endless sense of hope

This is a song for all my friends trying to live off music

A song for my people who are told every day that they’ll never do it

Even though we’ll all wind up in space under graves

At least we kept our legs strong moving along the whole way
