waiting in the bardo to be exposed

I’m tame you’re untame
You’re tame I’m untame
I turn around I see the back of your brain

I am not a puzzle
I am just a piece

We three kings with our staves
I feel the flow I forced away
I started too late

Scatter the pattern
Scavengers scouting for the new gestalt 

Shatter the pattern 
Scavengers scouting for the new gestalt
The new gestalt

weird eyes

i know more than i should know,
for someone who’s never really even been here before.

you know more than you should know,
for someone who’s never really even seen me before.

the hanged man,
waiting in the bardo 
to be exposed. 

i don’t know who you think you are.
you're someone whose never really even seen me before.

i just know who you say you are.
you're someone i've never even really seen before. 

the hanged man,
waiting in the bardo
to be exposed.

so, this is how it ends. 
how did it begin again?

so, this is where it ends.
where does it begin again?

the hanged man,
waiting in the bardo 
to be exposed.

the hanged man

"i don't know what you mean by that...

"but i certainly know what i think you mean by that."

[dorky laugh]

"you're just implying that, why would you be translucent when you can be transparent?"

[vocal entropy ensues]

"translucence is voluntary.

"that's your line. you're probably gonna bop hard on that one."

the idiographic 
human knower, 

being-in-the-world,
undressed and ready.

presenting presents 
with effortless action.

strange friends fit together
in space, 

calling each other 
by their secret names.

standing outside of time,
knowing everything is in its right place.

it'll all make sense one day.
for now, be content to keep wondering.

funny how those who claim to love mystery,
suddenly reveal themselves to me.

i submit myself to you,
cycles of growth and decay.

let it all fall away.

I made this for Bop Pop. This week's theme was "Space Western."

I'm picturing a space bounty hunter taking off in a spaceship to chase his rival across the galaxy.

Lyrics:
Starlit broad horizon, arced around my eyes
A skyline in 360, my new panoramic mind.
Requesting my savior, but he’s immutably detained
On the first day of the hunt, tell me that’s not strange.

I’m coming for you
And you’re coming for me
A rival's arrival
And my rates are steep
I’m coming for you
And you’re coming for me
A rival's arrival
And my rates are steep

Your destiny is death to me, along stardusty roads
An epitaph’s been etched in a black basaltic stone
On the south pole of the planet with the faint magenta glow
I’m ready when you’re ready, so y’know.

I’m coming for you
And you’re coming for me
A rival's arrival
And my rates are steep
I’m coming for you
And you’re coming for me
A rival's arrival
And my rates are steep

Our history is Greek to me, I hope you understand
I’m gunning for another bounty man.

A Rival's Arrival

beneath the snow, with skulls and bones,
in cold, in dark, i mould my home.
i toss my heart into a flame again,
for once, i feel no pain.

in cold and dark, i dissipate.
no time for haste.
we merge our divine bodies,
we grow like outer space.

beyond my cave, apollo waits.
we play like divine bodies,
we merge like outer space.

in warm and bright, i dissipate.
no time for haste.
emerge, our divine bodies.
we glow like outer space.

implicate order

That blackened tea kettle
is such a sore sight
and, and I can be right
for once

Checked the lazy susan
for anything out of date
it's not too late
for once

and I have
been forgotten
yet again

I have been forgotten
I have been forgotten

The manchild
masterbates alone
while his mom
makes dinner

Scratching with just a bit
too much excitement
wanna be a winner

I have been forgotten
I have been forgotten

I have been forgotten
but I have not lost my way

implicate order
