endless degree
oblivion's wait
back in the day all i had to say i'm unafraid and look into all eyes with certainty
now i run through the shade only actors on stage, feeding on wine i was giddy reaching an even plane
and holy the roll with no self control, riding the tide of the centuries wide enough to escape
sneaking away into oblivion's wait, looking for a lost dog to follow, shedding my skin like a snake
to astrally graze, aligning my gaze with the eye of entirety, heaping on dead weight
to cut off all gain, the potential is pain relieving the strain, keeping a soft spot for mystery
back in the day all i had to say i'm unafraid and look into your eyes with certainty
sirens
sirens, the song of the city, the siren song singing you to sleep wherein
ya only pray, ya only vow, ya only honour so loud
to live the longest, the closest to wisdom, goodness, real life, and god
ya run ya neck through the buzz words and now you're fucking gone
ya done ya smidge ya lived a good life but now ya don't fucking do shit
oh my fucking god you're the fucking king and ya won't quit haunting
well i'll take your fucking taunt and i'll rip your fucking face off
with my big brain teaser i'm gonna boggle your mind
cause the light ends in fits of the living, we're lying to our bodies out of pity
the back of my mind in theory, persona non grata disappearing
a wishing well straight to hell with open arms and tucked in tails, miscalculating the rate of fading
sirens, the song of the city, the siren song singing you to sleep
do you wanna dance
not too slow and not too fast
he stood to the world, do you wanna dance
with the world, do you wanna dance
with the girls, take another chance
on the world, do you wanna dance
it's the song i wanna sing
in the mood i'm trying to break
how's about a budding romance
with the world, do you wanna dance
he said to the world, take a fucking stance
with the world, and get off my back
he said as he twirled, do you wanna dance
do you wanna dance
it's the moves i'm dying to make
my relief i can't escape
what's the use in living alone
in the world, do you wanna dance
let's swirl, it's all a whirl
in the circle, do you wanna dance
just to hurl our bodies into the void
as it unfurls, do you wanna dance
do you wanna dance
same ol songs
everything is great and everyone is ok everyone is sane they keep saying okee dokee
as long as we're hitting this drum let's get out the whiskey and take a shot worth risking on
if you can build a fire i'll keep singing same ol songs
everything's so grey and we're praying holy moly isn't it the same as same is same as always
as long as infected the cut abstracts the true desire i don't have the time to not get fucked up
if only i could start a fire without around it singing same ol songs
everything is clean and everyone is all safe, all the pain arranged, every claim is painstaked
as long as i'm burning my tongue on every word i say to anybody hanging on
dare to kiss the fire and out of hot lips make just same ol songs
everything has changed except that which arouses me, a history of shame, holding back, and pride being
the place where we all come from, unleashing this thing, the weight of this extraction
if you can snuff the fire i'll put out the same ol songs
everything is great and everyone is ok, there's no glory to be made but i'm feeling good
anyways..
in spain
a card will suffice what a coin once did the moon takes the place of where your face once could
these wobbling knees are gonna make this man, this warbled mind has only ever feigned it
rise when the others rise, rise as the rain across the plains rolls by
voicing the spark of what you thought you should out of so many thoughts i hoped you would
armed with chairs and you make it war, without too many i am thankful for
rise when the others rise, rise as the rain across the plains rolls by
you proving true all of my dreams through is never wasted i'm too naked, too plain, too loose
and to try once more is to forget what before to get wasted, death tasted, laughing on the floor
rise when the others rise, rise as the rain across the plains rolls by
farce the gimmick
i pretend i'm so blasé about dying in its way
of imagining myself without a face for all of time or at least all of space
it's so so-so and passé but the ecstasy, i'm not afraid
that's your divide, your thoughts on change
the land rights you've written to say who's got the bright, who's got the brave,
whose realness is right, who's saving grace
well the boulder's but dressing to they forced to do as they're made,
and the top of the hill only a stop on the way
enlightenment comes without sun nor of shade,
it doesn't ask for the time nor permission, it won't wait
for me to pretend i'm so blasé about dying in its way
tall twisted tales take twisted tongues to tell
don't feign surprise clawing out your eyes, i wish you could scream a little louder
careless asshole with your feelings, your soulmate never smiles
those things you break in that just break are hanging from your neck in a vile
no one's gonna miss you when you're gone if over's never over
no one's gonna tell you when to stop once they're all out of danger
ashamed about your own adrenaline rush, no one has told you not to touch
but you've garnered this new love out of an old crush and i've held my breath just a little too much
winner of most self aware
i love myself and everyone can tell
winner of most self aware, another title i can't sell
you'll lose your memory telling lies, relief so electric the day sky is so clear you can see the moon
no doubt about my healthy sense of doubt
spinner of style yet to care of what i'm supposed to share
you'll lose your face reading between the lines, shucking your secrets across the wire, it's chaste, a close shave in your shell
i love myself and everyone can tell
winner of most self aware, acheiving what i can't sell
you'll lose your energy forcing a smile, it's the moon and the starlight competing for a real reason while
i love myself so everyone can tell
writer extraordinaire, endless is the well
without the bass to haunt ya, and the rhythm to taunt ya, lost in your own sway on the stage in the swell
less a drink the cool night
less a drink the cool night, under the sheets
misting the breeze, if you want, less a drink the cool night
why awake why computer why mistake why my future
why am i wrestling resting while i wind up sleeping
if you saw what i saw you'd say what i say
and you'd play it off too trying to get through the day
halo, weirdo, smooth motherfucker
i'll be your dummy, something funny inside the halo
be gods w/ us
there's an envelope with your name on it, it's got money inside
there's a body with your name on it, but it's only got blood on the inside
my time with you is through, i put your name on it
so romance your relief true, dance on that soft spot ya old shoe
and be gods w/ us
i'm too good for this fucking town, and you're too good all around
yet here we are deliberating over the crown, while faced to watch each other drown
be gods w/ us
i feel around in the dark through a constellation of moles, skin tags, and freckles and maybe if i'm lucky i'll bump into the night speckled sky with star systems and the milky way
to help plot the course through the deep space of decay
be gods w/ us
be gods w/ us
you can't hang yourself on style alone, so come along now and we'll make a strong rope
twisting the knife and cranking the knot
it exists to be free, it murders to be
be gods w/ us
widdershins
i wide eyed the many roads
why mountain why
mind, i owed as many odes as any reason why
but winding through the minding mode in any season finds it's treason to expose the road to any reason why
i'm excited just knowing you're awake
such deep long silences, i can wait
through whatever dream
i'm senselessly free
i finely mined the halls of ghost to finally find i'm fine
the mines i poked, the fires i stoked held all the secret states
the side i spoke a rolling oath, spinning wheels of ink
the lines i wrote were lines of rote, a stately secret wink
i'm excited just knowing you're awake
such deep long silences, i can wait
through whatever dream
i'm senselessly free
faith defined the weary, wild, wisdom in its place
the exalted fold sold its toll into your time and space
a hybrid worn across the reborn in neither bust nor face
it shied from shorn and empty pores the trend they made was taste
i'm excited just knowing you're awake
such deep long silences, i can wait
through whatever dream
i'm senselessly free
everybody comes to beat sparrows
cut off your head and call it something magic
and in your bed i was reborn as someone static
soon the moon will sway and swoon
the moon the moon will save us soon
i sold my grain and shaved my head something exotic
found the road to your bones enclosed erotic
soon the moon will sway and swoon
the moon the moon will save us soon
reclaimed your head and found the lost messiah
no one believes you when you tell them you are a liar
soon the moon will sway and swoon
the moon the moon will save us soon
going my way?
going my way? to cross our own bearings
one of these days i'm going to make a change
a lost and little old man he won't he won't will he
a lost and little old man he can't he can't can he
gone astray, stubborn to make it strange
from pawns in their own game, from strands in the strain
a lost and little old man he won't he won't will he
a lost and little old man he can't he can't can he
with important things to say and supplanting memories with age
it's locked up and saved, the world becomes the frame
a lost and little old man he won't he won't will he
a lost and little old man he can't he can't can he
sworn to the fringe and frayed, shored against the waves
spoiled to the remains, going my way?
nigh eve
in the sun i'm warm in the dark i'm cold
this robe is unveiling and wasting my fleshed out feeling
my prophetic nation a crystal ball of indignation
i don't wanna sing along to your anthemic hate songs
in the sun i'm born in the dark i'm alone
i wish this morning would pull me back a little more
greasy gods of garden law, goddessliness loves you
there isn't a safe word to get me out of what i choose
believe everyone
who am i among us
in the sun say some i am as one
in my room says you we are as two
what i learn is patience and that smiling is contagious
but i don't wanna smile if you're only trying to save us
believe everyone
who am i among us
