Shanghaii - More 2 Life (Prod.) TobiAli

What started out as a throw away writing exercise to describe a day spent at home sick turned into this. Whatever this is.
Beat by Aesop Rock, titled Elk Blood, originally posted on 900Bats.com.
Lyrics by Apt
Recorded on my iPhone's Voice Memo app.

walks around the corner, grabs groceries at allen's
headphones blasting "trying to find a balance"
nose clogged, eyes water, throat full of scratches
calls into work, "i've caught the plague. don't panic."
lunch consists of sodium, chicken, broth and crackers
sleep. tv. sleep. that's the pattern
in the haze his mind turns to more serious matters
he's surprised by a figure when the lamp turns
so many places to be, death keeps her visits short
she just stopped by to say he'd make such an exquisite corpse
"that's all the visit's for? it seems like you should visit more
might i ask a question? i'd like a bigger picture of the score
why is so much of life caught in the shadows?
like you can build your own cross or you can build your gallows
escape from one trap then get caught in the shallows
is this the only path from callow to hallowed?"
she rolled her eyes and said, "only from an artist...
i have no great knowledge, i pull the plugs regardless."
he shook his head, couldn't accept the harshest
hardship doesn't guarantee catharsis
thought all along he was lit in the refiner's flame
he let the dire reign cause it came from a higher plane
now come to find most of his scars won't get his sire's praise
feels like yet another pawn lost in this tired game
so check mate for the day, death's left his to his devices
his vice is, these knife slits, he likes it
a mood to match his empty room, dark as his sight is
another sentence ending different than the way he'd write it
so take that bookmark, place it in the fold
a round of nyquil shots taken to his throat
he prays, "if i die tonight, my veins just close
bury me in gingham buttoned straight to the throat."

-I live in a world of ghosts, a prisoner in my dreams
-Yet you do not want to die. 
-Yes...I do.
