beaming, empty

shrouded
cloaked under an invisible force
shaped
we can only speak their words
beaming
a lovely side effect
empty
no, no regret (for you)
why are we all crazy, clawing
devouring ourselves and starving
we’re starving
smile
don’t tell tell me to smile
beaming, empty

paralyzed - you won
it could be real - for some
i’m full of hate and poop
make me stay at home
social control, a precaution
a good, good reason
trust, reliance, greed, compliance
abate my anxiety
keep the world safe from me
i’m not alone, and it’s the worst
i can’t contain the curse
i’m full of hate & poop
make me stay at home
turn on the megaphone
make us stay at home
cough on the rich
hoard/die/kill/die
it’s all for me, right?

almost over
04:49
|

|
the wheels coming off of meaning
i’ll disappear from always hiding
my jagged edges nature
drags me from room to room
compelled by compulsion
all drivel codified
work itself won’t work itself out
and time can only burn
my own tangle of layers
i’m wrapped up in wrapping me up
i’m glad that it is almost over
there is no such thing as enough

wonder why they’re all the same
use the same devices, incendiary doors
nevermind, they’re all the same
and we know what these pigs will eat
embrace deep belief, implant their seed
the only out is to feed the beast
you yield, huddled in teams
teeming with the hunger to be free
slip your grief into the mailslot of dis ease
the only peace for a sinner
burn your own for your protection
serve the crown - know discretion
you’ll survive - acclimate to poison
put on your face, sweet, serve the toxins
beauty is deadly, use the gaze
used to no safety - helplessness your strength
condemn, condemn
spit fire, your fire

ephemera
03:14
|
|||
|
slow death of cowardice
choking out the wilderness
what’s wild in you
imploded as the sparks flew
silence settles in
air too heavy to breathe
charred and weak
we see the green
too late
we got it wrong
shadows shift, and I’m the only one
who lost a glimpse of ephemera
who couldn’t see she wasn’t done
who couldn’t wait for transmutation
too late
it’ll take too long
the life is gone

small seed
03:55
|

|
no small seed
the blood you make us bleed
the roots it feeds
cracks slowly spread
rivers through concrete
splitting beneath our feet
withered. fell
to only know our endlessness

fear my bad time
02:57
|

|
stars / starving / rage / fear / scars / water
shackled by trauma
dodging bullets, walking on eggshells
fear my bad time
i drank the water in their desert
they found a way to make me pay for it
we’ll drink the water
we’ll find a way

universally forgiven
collective isolation
the privilege to drown and set the pace
sugar and forgetting
hoping to be forgotten
we inherited this driving sepsis
let it flow, be one with the detritus
it only hurts if you think about it
sweet sugar, just forget about it
i don’t know how you do it
i can’t see how they pulled it off
i dunno, i wanna kill it
or maybe just forget it all
i wanna kill it. forget it all

i am sorry for a world that will kill you over and over, a world i can live in
for a sickness that convinces that beauty is the real fiction
that the truth is ugly, that strength is cold hard, that your kindness was weak
for a world that taught you - be sweet to everyone
when you could only be yourself
i can’t stay
stay up all night
this is something i don’t know how to fight
be sweet to everyone
i’m sorry

ritualistic blasphemy
02:34
|
|||
|
they stripped her of her power
rewrote her history
tried to rip the earth from within her
ritualistic blasphemy
declared her limbs their land
claimed her guts their sustenance
took hold of all they touched
taught us to lie flat
i am here, send me, i am dirt, defend me
make me keep my babies
claim them as your own
you’ll know who wears the crown
you can’t erase what you cannot see
evil, evil divinity
we are here, we are free, we are her
your enemy
