Drench (One, Too)
02:20
|
|||
drench your skin in self esteem paint
hang up your clothes to become a saint
i dont think that they know your name
they will all know your name
i am drenched in trash water
it shouldnt matter.
sugared the pill, still cannot swallow
where ever your wisdom goes i'm one to follow
on pins and needles, you know my motto
now i've siphoned out all of my sympathy until i'm spent and hollowed
you were the first one
you'll be the last one, too

Activator

activate decision making
fall asleep to your wakening
this wind is not breath taking
the spine snaps,
it will blink, it will collapse
why'd you go and kill your heroes?
idolize the straight and narrow
give me all your things to borrow
i stole your thoughts just to get my point across
we knew it was tried in true. when falling, do the willing wonder?
i know we did when we were just barely thinking
we walked across the void and empty.
it wasnt very satisfying
i packed my bags, this place i'm not coming back.

i don't know if this is hell but i know it's not heaven, they'd never let you in!
sit down in the corner. here's a joke for you.
if i told you i was kidding, would you even listen?
all these papers lie in scatters and tatters on the floor
it used to mean so much, but nothing really does anymore.
they call him a recidivist!
well, he and his syndicate say they're sick of this!
i told you i was just kidding
feel free not to listen.
i saw a face just like yours. i almost dropped dead when it walked away.
i've been replaced til another day.

Derail!

|

spit in the sink for right now,
soothe with a drink,
i'm writing a biography-a-kind-of-fable
until you derail!
speak openly!
or criticize!
i'm neutral; in another dimension
spit in the sink, i hate these teeth
smooth out the kinks, i gotta.
i'm trying not to think, it makes me stable.
spit in the sink for right now, i think i will spit in the sink.

Mayonnaise and Massacres

everything is cumulative
zero is definitive.
wait, you're in the right place, stay seated, don't leave us.
annihilate the simple breath like them.
we are worth much more respect, it's in the math.
you are a taste of your own medicine,
space out in the mess that you have been in.
allure you with a lot of alliteration
boil it down to rusted superstition
allude to everything that is religious
well i'm starkly sure you wont convince me of it
everything is cumulative, isn't it?

Bloodshot
02:40
|
|||
my eyes roll off, bloodshot
this place is my best home
free to simmer my mind
to clear my throat
i hear transcendent sounds from outside,
with my windows pulled down, i sink into the ground
there is no one around
to light another one
hey!
your black teeth, my yellow tongue
we seep into their giant lungs and all the men we've walked among
they think our words are still to young.
hey!

Ocean Water
01:50
|
|||
i did a prayer-nod to a not-there god
it is a lost cause, amen selah
i need my tooth fixed or i'm gonna lose it.
i cannot soothe it amen
im ugly like the ocean water
so ugly why do i bother?
im ugly just like the ocean
sink your boat with all of my opinions
i know you didnt want my opinion

Okla-Homeless
03:00
|
|||
forget the flourished forest lush den!
fixate on the thorns and how they dig my skin
id race the sun but i would never win
the skull cracks open.
the skull cracks open, it's broken.
it bites so close eyes and hide.
i'm frightened, enlightened, i will hide under the field's moonlight.
i will boil earth
i will pet the fur, and the skin

Slugfest
04:49
|
|||
are you repose in your Procrustean bed?
i should cut off your arms and your legs.
the story fits, hit or miss, circuitous
trace a circle so wide that you will never finish.
what is this?
a slugfest?
i look in from the water, what is this?
this is one big slug fest
not impressed
shake my fist
i look bored, but i have never been this nervous before.
nothing is cohesive.
the mouth falls out like autumn leaves fall down, nothing is cohesive.
why such the slugfest? nothing is cohesive.

Mars Dreams

the blister brain pops open
it leaks into the middle of the road again
it rains and sends drainage to bend
the blister brain is wet and swollen
the waves lave a bad omen
the blister brain is turbulent
the water speaks in motion
no-go mountains
or treees
believe nothing obviously
talking, voices, calming
babe falls out of tree, goes to sleep
and the brain leaks
it'll take her
into the sewers
if you whisper, you can hear them, they are laughing
a-ha-ha-ha!
you can find them if you're willing, if you want to, you can wander.
you can visit them out in the sewers.
mars dreams of everything.
