Part & Parcel Songtext
von Adeem the Artist

I′ve been taking the train from the dock to buy guitar strings
Singing songs six days a week I never really liked myself
I've been sleeping in late
Sold a song to a show on the TV
Made a couple bands and spend it on a string of dates
With a penpal I will marry

And the timelines interweave
Creating patterns that I trace and fall asleep in my parents basement

Take it all apart, it′s part & parcel
I came here with a strange and earnest feeling
Chase all of these contradicting versions
Childhood perversions, and dreams that never steered
Let them drive a little while so that I can disappear


I've been living in my car
Lost in a flea market, looking for my family
I met a girl in a little cafe and along the way, we fell in love
I kiss her on the mouth in a hammock
We're headed back down South
Now she′s roaring out a primitive yelp and giving birth

And the timelines interweave
Creating patterns that I trace and fall asleep underneath a pecan tree

Take it all apart, it′s part & parcel
I came here with a strange and earnest feeling
Chase all of these contradicting versions
Childhood perversions, and dreams that never steered
Let them drive a little while so that I can disappear

Into the great unknown, I am nameless
A coward called courageous by virtue of my trade
I will fade on an idea
I will fade on an idea
Oh, let it drive a little while so that I can disappear
I will fade on an idea
