So open, and yet so closed
Not silent but a lazy fool
You’re laying down again
You're old and tired all the same
I guess you heard
Careless whispered thoughts
Organizing your impediment
Living how you
Can or cannot
Opener is broken
In again
I know
What you want
I know
What you need (2)
Is just a push or pull
Or dragging up and over
Off the couch
Here we go, again I guess
Dont know if this will ever end
Started over
Yearly older
And tired all the same
I guess you heard
Saved from embarrassment
Keep feeding the impediment
Repeat the rinse
And making sense
With pennies tossed
Into the wishing well

Riposte

Here’s a quick response
To what you thought
To what you said of me
You’re so sick and sad
And now you’re mad
Because you can’t kill me
Waste your energy
Expend and breathe
Words you should hold back
Sure whatever fine
My quiet life
Is good enough for me
And now you gotta go alone
And now you gotta go alone
And now you gotta go
You’re all alone
We’re all alone you’ll see
(1 time the 1st time, 2 times the 2nd time)
You decided now
Oh lazy bones
Good god I hope you see
Bending under weeds
No garden grows
When you prefer hiding
Well I choose the best
Don’t settle less
Than what it’s worth to me
No expensive cost
It’s not a loss
Got everything I need
Sunlight warms my
Skin I’m free

Velleity
02:16
|
|||
Watch you bleed out
On the floor
Make your lover
Clean it up
The harm I wish on you and all your friends wouldn’t do me justice
But you’re not worth it
Never were
Wasted time and
Never heard
You wanted us to say the words but couldn’t see that I was weary
And now you’re playing games with safer bets and dolls you can control
There’s not a rhyme in here but will remain a story left untold

Try to figure out
Instead of laying down
Master on your own
Focus in and out
Quit your crying now
Cuz it wont take you far
Distraction free again
My peace it wins and wins
The end will be all fine
Read the page again
Make sure you get it right
No I’m not coming back
Don’t miss a thing at all
Mastering the one
And only honest thing
Deception in your words
I’ve learned the tricks you see

Wanderlust
02:32
|
|||
Book a trip
Out of restless
Mind at ease
Living freely
Chains broke out
Now I’m in the air
On a bus
In a hotel
Tourist guide
Navigation
In a place
I have never known
Wander out on town at night
Wander out at night
Saw a man
In a restaurant
Sitting down
Eating slowly
He was full
Something like regret
Waiter came
With a check and
Said his name
If he had one
Rested hands
On his heavy head

Soliloquy
02:19
|
|||
Speak to no one
Echo in the air
Feel dark matter
Rescuing the fair
Repeat the subject
Face it if you dare
Hedge your bets with
Nothing left to spare
Now we’re burning
Live like liars
Pretending someone cares
Push me down to
Be below the earth
Come back stronger
So much more prepared
Here to hurt you
Molded to impair

Bedlam
01:53
|
|||
With all this chaos around
Its hard to lock it all down
They all wanna be seen
So they will all cause a scene
You want to burn it all down
So I will build it all back
You think that they have your back
Until they all take a stab
But your hands tied
Locked up in a timeshare capsule trap (Ahs for Harmonies)
Innovate and relate
I cannot wait to escape
Berate and inflate
And I will meditate
So turn off the TV
Come jump into the sea
And a fish he will swim
And a fish will be him

If there’s a way that we
Could fall asleep again
I wouldn’t walk around
In the dark at night
There's not an easy fix
To quiet down my dreams
And now I’m stumbling
Running into things
I hope there’s more on the other side of this
I’m running late today
Woke up in a haze
There’s something wrong with me
I just can’t break away
I’m staying up at night
Waiting for the day
I’m cold I’m shaking it’s
Keeping me awake

Flyspeck

|

The excrement you left
When you crawled back
And asked if I’m okay
Has stained enough of this
Clean body made
And sculpted in resolve
You whine and whine all goddamn day
My name will haunt you now
And later on
When you forgot I’m clean
I will remind you of
A day in which
You weren’t abused in use

Pass aggressive words at me
Text it fast with emoji
Stupid that you won’t pick up and call
If you think I’ll tolerate
Attitude technology
Back and forth is such a stupid game
Well I don’t wait around
No I don’t wait around
For no one
Every morning Throw at me
A new complaint with failing
Logic that does not make any sense
I notice that you project
And disconnect emotion
Then wonder why it never goes your way

Limerence
02:43
|

Fascination
Lies to you
But you don’t
Care to see
What lays beyond the lie
You face it anyhow
And I don’t
Care to see
The way you hurt yourself
For you
I’m waking up
At 3am
And I don’t
Care to have
All these dreams of you
There’s nothing left
For me to see
And I’m
Fucking bored
Of everything I am

Murmuration
05:13
|
|||
Murmurate
To the speed of sound
Murmurate
Feel it in the ground
Murmurate
Sonically discrete
Murmurate
Just beneath your feet
Can’t outrun it
No you can’t hide it
Murmurate
Do it all again
Murmurate
Commit another sin
Murmurate
Not making any sense
Murmurate
In between your chest

Absquatulate
02:20
|

Shut the door on your way out
If you don’t mind for me
Do not need any answers
Always saw what I see
If you could keep pretending
That you got off so clean
I would appreciate it
Better for you and me
Now you know that I know you
Now that I know that I know that I
Freeze the frame play it backwards
Giving it up for free
I don’t mind writing letters
Peace of mind live and breathe
Exit is so abruptly
Exactly what I need
Folding a piece of paper
Fly it into the sea

Crestfallen

I knew you would
I’m not surprised
Expect no good
Expect no prize
My words will count
And multiply
Divide in 2
Subtract from you
So add up what this means to you (My Dear)
The average now
Has come for you
The baseline truth
Is 100 proof
So drink this slow
And come cut loose
The ties you know
Are knotted through
Can’t you stay in line

Look in the orb and you’ll see that
I saw it all
Now that you’re late to the party
I’ll catch you up
Take a seat and shut your mouth
Cuz if you knew you would have been prepared
Freedom is worth more than martyrs
Who lost it all
Quiet you children with ailments
And ego faults
Dare to risk it all to say it
Sheepole herded into darkness
You want
But you wont
But you wont
Work that hard

I’m genuine and that’s alright
I’m genuine and that’s alright
Some days I don’t mind
But other days I wish I could hide
Still they, don’t like me
Oh maybe I should lie
Oh maybe I should die
Oh maybe I should try
Oh maybe it’s alright
