From the safety of my home
I’m awake too much and make too little
Stare sedately at my phone
Little worlds I cultivate transmittal
Small parades of endless droll
I can take so much but say so little
Don’t forsake me in my own
Little church of lust and noncommittal
Come regale me with your song
From the perch illustrious lives you’re living
Complicate me with my own
Sense of worth of class that I’ve been given
Congregate me to my own
In the mirth of lust our minds unravel
Celebrate me when I’m gone
In the dirt and rust and limestone gravel

Never said I’m smarter
Think I’ve gone crazy
It’s a little harder
To pick up on maybe
Never did hold water
We’re just so hated
It’s a two bit parlor
We’re just so jaded
Why’s it even gotta be like that
Where we bask in the gaslight
How we ever gonna sleep at night
When we dance in the moonlight
I don’t even wanna be like that
But I can’t see the sunlight
Now that one and one is three
Never said I’m smarter
Think I’ve gone crazy
It’s a non starter
To just say maybe
We don’t need a martyr
We don’t need saviors
We just need some honesty
Back in our cadence
Why’s it even gotta be like that
Where we bask in the gaslight
How we ever gonna sleep at night
When we dance in the moonlight
I don’t even wanna be like that
But I can’t see the sunlight
Are we ever gonna veer on track
Or just drift in the hindsight

Long Way Out
03:24
|
|

Maybe your phone was out of service
maybe you just don’t wanna burden me with the word
Maybe the phone call made you nervous
Although a text may be preferred
it needs to be heard
Long way out for now
Maybe your best life has to flourish
To need me around
Long way out for now
Maybe the next time have the courage to leave me
Maybe the love gods have deserted
Even if Venus sings the verses
relieve me the curse
Maybe the love gods don’t deserve us
Maybe the angels have a service fee
We observe
Long way out for now
Maybe the sex gods have a purpose
to keep me around
Long way out for now
Maybe the next time have the courage to leave me
Long way out for now
Nevertheless I ask for certain
You lead me around
Long way out for now
Maybe the next time have the courage to leave me
I’m on the road to South Dakota
You wanna know what you don’t know but believe me you don’t.

Inside Out
03:10
|

Inside
Outside
Any side outside of homicide
I don't want us inside out again
Assume any way I get out is by design
Assume any day I went out of town is fine
Assume anyway, now we're out of time

Ice In The Desert
03:03

He’s on a snow train with a mirror track
He’s all alone stay a severe attack
She’s on an airplane with a paperback
She went her own way, never dare look back
She writes to him from miles away
Says some things she should not say
Pretends to be better off
Sometimes life isn’t pleasant
But we’re nice in the present
At times love really weathers
Just like ice in the desert
He’s in his own lane
It’s a miracle that
But he’s still a long way
From a fear of death
It’ll be Monday for she hears bout that
He was the one she never really left
See sights of them with smiles someday
In a picture file somewhere
Delete delete and they’re lost
Sometimes life isn’t pleasant
But we’re nice in the present
At times life really weathers
Just like ice in the desert

All The Fallen Villains
04:31
|
|
||
Above our heads appears a shattered apparition
The shards congeal into a ship shaped like a lemon
Out steps a genderless hominid dressed in linen
With seven eyes and six mouths that speak in unison
Greeting to all of you kind hearted men and women
We’re here to right your wrongs; time travel has been invented
But unfortunately we can’t all agree what sin is
Instead we crucify the messenger as menace
It’s all so glorious
In ancient history there was a sovereign village
Impaired with poverty; their alms raised to the privileged
The royal nobility had only want of pillage
And use the young in wars to settle petty skirmishes
A little girl unlocked a genie from a skillet
I’m from an olden time and now I’ve paid my penance
I’ll grant the world eternal peace if you just will it
So naturally they apprehend the djinn and kill it
It’s all so glorious
So pour the blood until your cups have over filleth
And toast the olden gods like Astaroth and Lilith
And drink to all the fiends and all the fallen villains
Who sold us magic beans and left with all our innocence

The Weekend

|

The weekend rolls me over
So we get high for hours
Sweet pen holds me over
'til we get home for flower
Anomaly
novelty of an enormous normalcy
is normally…
aesthetic
Paranormal with a formal notary
is morally …
synthetic
Had a moment I no longer wanna see
Control delete ….
forget it
I’m a ronin in a loner sorta way

Emotion slowly
Erodes your mind
It’s all that haunts me
Alone in time
It’s been 10 years since I smoked my last cigarette
I quit that and you somewhere around about the same time
So fleeting memories of you and me I guess are all I get
For me to constantly just
Reinvent the sentimental

Dark Matter
03:20

Wild eyed lovers
Hover into the sun
On fire we smother
Spiral of color spun
Our minds unravel
More we Time travel home
We fly each other
Blindly into unknown
At worst I know
At best i don’t
It works right now
The less I know
Inertia at rest I float
Cold dark matter
Particles shatter off
Our souls might scatter
Like spinning platters fall
Halos don’t matter
No we’re not better off
I mind my manners
Then I see the pattern evolve
At worst I know
At best i don’t
It works right now
The less I know
Inertia at rest I float
Inertia at best I float

Simpatico

I couldn’t tell you what to type
Begin and autofill
I couldn’t tell you not to hide
within
Your hollow self
We could’ve felt this moment
Who’d a known it’d only pass
Better not open that
You’ll wanna see
Better off hoping that
It oughta be
Better unspoken that
You wanted me
Better off holding back
She’s simpatico
Once she’s had her aderol
Must be why
we’re so compatible
Once she's on sabbatical
From her mind
She couldn’t melt my glassy eyes
Begin the waterfall
I couldn’t let this moment pass
Again
I wanna know
Has she not felt the tone that
Teary eyed atonement has
Better not open that
You’ll wanna see
Better off hoping that
an honesty
Better unspoken that
You wanted me
Better off hoping that
You WANTED me
Sad at home hoping that
You WANTED me
Spinning on broken glass

Objects In Mirror
03:29
|
|
||
Tunnel view
And the rhythm and pulse of the lines
In the headlights on your left
Reels to me
Like a flurry of snow in the light
Mesmerized your mind undressed
And you see other cars
As we see other worlds
As they beam into ours
And they stream into yours
They don’t seem very far
The cars ahead of you are coming into view
And they’re summoning for you
To speed to me
The signs are telling you that
Objects in the mirror
are closer than they appear to be
Pale moon
A millennia more you’ll arrive
In a time your mind dismissed
Still you’ll be
Interstellar afloat in the sky
In your mind this might exist
In a stream of facade
In a dream in a blur
They don’t seem as they are
They don’t seem as they were
These unseen stellar gods
Are just caricature
As we scream and applaud
The cars ahead of you are coming into view
And they’re summoning for you
To speed to me
The signs are telling you that
Objects in the mirror
are closer than they appear to be
The stars above you are plummeting to you
And they’re summoning for you
To speed to me
Hindsight is telling you that
Objects in the mirror
are closer than they appear
Come closer and they appear

You refuse to believe
What you hear and you see
And you choose to ignore
All the news you abhor
But these memes on 8chan from anonymous handles
They’ve got it all figured out
Yeah right
Coz they’re seeing right through
What your told not to do
And they say to ignore
All that happened before
And admitting you’re wrong
Never has to be done
Coz you’ve got it all figured out
They lead ya
They bleed ya
Then they leave ya
But you’ve got it all figured out
Yeah right
We’re already done for
It already happened before
Asume we're gone
But it has to be done
Coz you already know they lie
