the foreshadowing and the sad face, i swear

The beat of this is amazing, plus the nihilist themes are a mood

"or how long it'd take a rusty old Tyrannosaur, to swallow your body whole" hey Shane? fuck you

Are you kidding me right now was that foreshadowing 

jesus christ... shane said "you know what? that line about the t rex wasnt enough. let's throw even MORE foreshadowing at them by having the next lines be about blue things and prehistoric trees" and i will never forgive him for that /lh

“You’ll never grow just knowing what you already know” is literally one of the prettiest things I’ve heard in a song ever.

I think the thing that keeps bringing me back to this song is something about the violin and the mood change reminds me of something thatd be on the Weather in Night Vale

Well there ain’t no better way to
Pass the tick tick tickin of the unrelenting march of time
Then flip flip flippin through a book like me
Why don’t ya crack my achin spine
Ya never know
Whatcha gonna find

You can study astrophysics or ontology,
The migratory paths of albacore,
Can even master twenty languages and still have room
For every detail of the Punic Wars
You’d be surprised
Whatcha can fit in your mind

Go on and jot a couple notes about the Tundra stoat
Or the roamin’ of magnetic poles
Or bout how long it’d take a crusty ol Tyrannosaur
To digest your learned body whole :'(
How bout a chapter on the history of cobalt blue,
Or the spores of the Wattieza tree,
Or how ol’ Frank Hayes won a steeplechase
Back in 1923
You’ll never grow just knowin
Whatcha already know  

Read, please
I beg you to appease
Every single little itchin
Curiosity
Cmon n gimme a leaf

Well you can read so much that you can spout
All hundred fifty four of ol’ Bill’s sonnets off the top of your head
And you can read so much the cowards
Of this world will hunt you down and lock you up til they shoot you dead

In any case
It’s nice to be well-read
