Guess i knew i’d let it slide
Forgive the changing lanes
Forgetting the point
If there was one to be made

The words we use to keep the peace
Spoken pollen for the bees
Stinging silence meant to please
See yourself a stranger heavy with disease

Was it glue when words fell out
Broken mirrors ready to be healed
Is this kintsugi
Or words dry enough to peel
 
The words we use to keep the peace
Spoken pollen for the bees
Stinging silence meant to please
See yourself a stranger gauzy in the breeze
See yourself a stranger
See yourself a stranger
We’ve become a stranger

See Yourself A Stranger - FAWM #4.1

The moment you realize
Your death grip on your on bones
Release the tension
Scapular tightrope

A touch melts your shell
Feel the kick of a layer gone
You feel the kick of a world below
Quell the yawn and try to hold on

Who are you, strange outline
Some vague truth, unconfined

Doesn’t it seem strange
Need help to survive sleep
Forcing the air, pray my soul to keep

Your hands trace my throat
Feel my breath find avalon
You feel the kick of a world below
Know the silence and hold on




Avalon - FAWM #4.9

The grass is growing on the inside now
The lines keep blurring from the inside out
All the cracks we made we kept watered

Greener on the other side
Losing the point of all you tried
Facing the grief dry-eyed
You get caught up in the riptide
You don’t see what you’ve got to lose 

We know what we feed will bloom
Lighting up the corner of a dark room
Lips parting, smiling and mind altered

Greener on the other side
Losing the point of all you tried
Facing the grief dry-eyed
You get caught up in the riptide
You don’t see what you’ve got to lose 


 


Grass Is Growing - FAWM 2024 Collab

It’s new
The pieces I detached to bring to you
And I may slouch as I get used
To moving in this way
I tried
To separate the muscle from the hide
And what is left, my very best
Impression of my life

I’m going to lie down

My life
Bundled up in parts and auctioned off
And trying to be grateful for the price
You think I’m worth
For now
The walls around my heart are coming down
Exposing the bare wires that spark
To cough the ideas out

I’m going to lie down

A month
I tried to live deliberately and failed
Frustrated, I continued to persist
The person that I was
Take note
The well is dry, I hope I filled you up
And what you got was nourishing enough
I’ll still be around, but

I’m going to lie down

I'm Going To Lie Down

A deep breath
I’m plunging in
The paint before
My image sets
They’re dogging pages
In my honor
Before I’ve even left

A nauseous twitch
I’m obvious
Attentive to my
Base instincts
I’m dodging punches
That were sent
Before the air’s displaced

How septic it was
Lingered on my tongue
I didn’t tell anyone
The lion's share of knowledge
Got stuck in my paw
I didn’t pull it out

Car stuck in the yard
Tearing up the lawn
I turned to slinging mud
To get the hours done
How septic it was
Lingered on my tongue
But please
You can’t tell anyone

A regret
It’s come to this
How rude i’ve lost
A dinner guest
The town’s closed down
Like it always did
There’s nowhere i can rest

A cosmic shift
I’m over it
The pageantry of
Innocence
The stockade’s full
I lament before
My head is put in there

How septic it was
Tainted my blood
I hid from everyone
The lion’s share of knowledge
Is lodged in my paw
The wound is sore, could you pull it out
Car stuck in the yard
Tearing up the lawn
I turned to slinging mud
To get the damage done
How septic it was
Lingered on my tongue
But please 
You can’t tell anyone

Androcles (Pt. 2) (Fast Version)

My mother she told me
She was born to be defiant
It seems to be pathological
Deny the logical
Make me incept sanity

Her mother she never
Let on that she was reckless
She sent her mother a single telegram
Signed her new last name
What else was there to say

They called my brother
A coward when he checked out
Called me fairweather because I couldn’t pause
What if I stopped then
What would these eight years have been
