Fives Became Sevens

Stagnant fluid with my throat exposed
I know I missed the peak but stare at the imperfection
Beaming back the past as the gas slipped and rose
In front of the fluid as the fives became sevens
Eight minutes back around and eight hours split in two
Stimulant in the cold, a pole poised for all to see
Set the fire, fill my mouth, sit around for a few
For the footsteps out of view I'll lay still and I won't breathe
This is where it matters
My legs are longer, skipping rungs
Viewing higher on the ladder
Spewing fluid from the plunge
When the fives became sevens
Digits dropped on the thermometer
Either you are or you aren't
Binary odometer

Canadian Coins

Short lived use like Canadian Coins
Hold it while you can still squeeze
I dropped it, called the toss when it spun
In my head, thinking of what I need
Pushing past my peripherals
Transformer outage
The brightest blue light I'd ever seen
Black and blue eyes while I run raise questions
Dancing with stools and fools I recall ready to be the ones we face
The skull encased in another wall, break it to wake with a cold embrace
I spent the hour in isolation
I was drawn away and pulled, all the same
The tallest tower with twenty temptations
Oh, you fool

Another night above the stairway.
Been wondering if my life will take.
The way they pass me makes me ask if I should go,
But I can’t speak they’ll never know.
When will the lights above me change?
And will I remain the same?
And don’t you think I’d stand a better chance within a frame?
Roll me slowly when you go.
All me, on my own.

Go Calmly

Rainy morning makes the dream so aloof
Remembering that sunset we saw on your roof
Chase the painting chase the writer of that page
Water on the slate my canvas is erased
You take one too
And as the study finds your fascination only grew
Into something new
And if you have to leave, go calmly.
Thrust at first but now an opportunity
take the cake and swallow only what you need
Paint the picture, be the one who is amazed
Scribble down these thoughts before they leave my page.
Think it through
Anibus collects what you leave in your tomb
so make something new
and if you have to leave, go calmly.
Turn into something new
It's not the things you said to me
More my opinion of the subject
There's no way I could ever live without you
but lately I've been thinking
I could be alright tonight all on my own
Memories and contemplations only help me grow
Into something new
And if you have to leave, go calmly

Lavender Burns
04:44
|

|
New taste for new memories
Those old flavorful reminders
I'll vote involuntarily
The void of contemplation, thrusted in free fall
I can see through my hand
And I'm submitting in my vision
And still I stare until it tares me back from sirens call
I'm exploring the options
The windows one way
Triad wilted in persuasion
Tulips sprout while lavender burns
I'll crash into expectations
Keep the cuffs until it fades, half-mast habitual crane
A somber smile, royal mile, muscle scars serve the same
Chance stone tower stairwell
Fixed upon the unfocused the lazy eye aims to wander
And still I stare until it tares me back from sirens call

Empty Swing

You be what you choose
Gazed upon untethered moon
The green red and blue
Expanding faces, quite the view
Happy with the red thumb throbbing like the sky nested in misted hills
Satisfaction tracing the lobe, straddling the ditch
Belly down burning, pinch the skin or push the pill
Burn the lips 23 year itch
Of all the noise driving in the left and leaking underneath
The first footprints connect the quiet, sinking in your feet
I got what I've been going for, the purchased fruit is on the counter
All the while I feel the food falsely in my teeth

Spreading Mud
06:48
|
|||
|
I've been better
It's useless to complain
With the grains left on the letter
The foresight view impedes the plain
And they say it gets better
But their busy tongues licking their wounds
Beg to differ on the matter
Inviting us still to consume
Spreading mud into the stairs
My back aches, the pain is blind
But if that's the color to compare
It's too late to change my mind
If it don't get better, oh it better, it better, it better
Oh take me and take me to our leader
Three fourths full, I'll be content
Cup of coffee, later liquor
And later on I will repent

Me and My (Girl)
03:58
|

Me and my girl we had this experience
Didn't have to mean a thing
Solar flares from your eyes they remind me
Our world is magnified
In the air we can rest for a moment
Otherwise we're gravitized
In a world fueled by pure interaction
Our peripherals are blind.
No fear, we'll arrive when we figure out we
Have no fear. We'll arrive when we realize we
Here and now are travelling down river
No paddle and no kayak
Hearing birds as we drift through the jungle
Nevermind the fear of attack
All I want is to have you beside me
All I need to do was interact
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
There is no need to turn back.
No fear. We'll arrive when we figure out we
Have no fear. We'll arrive when we realize we
Feeling lost and afraid
Like noone's grabbing at the reigns
Despite my strain, I can't complain
I'm riding off the rails
But it's okay I know the trails
Get out of my head, get out of my way
Me and my, it's just me and my girl.
Me and my fear.

Brainfreeze

Ideas derived in minds of men
I guess less glue from then
Trickled out into the back abyss
Close your eyes and clutch the pen
Thick skull he's on his knees
Tripped below and lost the key
Pour the poison down the hatch and blot the gash
Swift blow and down he goes
You don't miss what you never had
There's a drought within my mind
Flooded once with tangled paths
Reminiscent smiles shine

Ellipses
04:51
|

|
I'll slip out the side and search for shelter, cup in hand
If both my hands are full, how can I still shake the other
She's looking at the glass hoping for fluid demand
It pours then stops and more and I'm convulsing out of cover
Jagged index just how I like
Shaved down and smoothed by the wires
I'll see the smile, push the point into my teeth
Can't shake the gaze
They're getting younger by the minute, running in the wheel
And while they know their way around the maze I think they like it here
The sand is spilling over and the arms are always swinging
But it's not another childhood, you won't keep it 'cause you're clinging
