Part Two: Message Not Delivered

Lyrics:  

(Remember way back when? When we were good and everything was fine?)

When we'd message everyday, you know, to truly connect
But I used to duck for cover when you'd shoot me a text
You'd choose a name, safety off, it didn't matter who it said
Gunpowder residue left on your finger after you hit send

On a secure line you madly tapped on all the keys
I was your primary target, you caps locked onto me
Heat seeking, but couldn't bear to take some damage
Send a missile back and you'd deploy a flair for the dramatic

Then you'd leave me on read, appearing online with green dots
Played with friendly fire, hitting allies with screenshots
Declassified sweet talk, they saw what we said
they wouldn't let it slide, I had to army crawl in DM's

I pulled the PIN I always open my phone with
To see you lobbed something my way and hoped it exploded
Just know that type of shrapnel was a hull destroying hit
And the messenger was riddled with a bullet pointed list

Before it all collapsed, who knew a wall of text from you could hurt?
Knew the sentence long before I saw the executioner
I got the block, while that angry mob of desperate nerds
Couldn't wait to see that news/noose, hanging on your every word

…Huh, it formed a powerful stillness
I tried to connect the dots before the bouncing ellipsis
Had eclipsed this feeling with a different one to show me
The message you had sent was just a finger gun emoji


(Although I never sent a text back… I felt phantom vibrations on my thigh, anxious to see your name pop up on that screen)


A haunting ringtone melody that's full of wrong notes
Plays on your ghosting ship, complete with skulls and crossbones
Not just me who can hear all those mutineer's lost souls
Groan as you unlock your phone with a nuclear launch code



Felt like there were skilled marksmen telling me to write a sentence
You were like a drill sergeant yelling at a private message
It left tenants shell shocked as your lightning bolts flanked
With a major upset as you tried to pull rank

You'd treat your cellphone like a Ouija Board
To scream at friends so dead to you, they're ghosts that you've seen before
In treaties of war, you'd insist on the worst deals
It's not a contacts app, it's a list of confirmed kills

It's a mushroom cloud that followed every message you sent with
A violent shockwave that buried several friendships you've ended
I'm in the wrong grave, and there's a fresh hell waiting
Wading in a sea of "read" receipts and spent shell casings

I debated retaliating with a blitz I'd send you later
But I bypassed the timer and I clicked the detonator
I was expecting a response, so I never crossed a finger
And I got three words: "message not delivered"

Part Three: Fly Buzz Halo

Lyrics:

Ayo, I could really use your help
I need a hand other than the one our future dealt
feel like such a loser asking, but the situation’s dire
it’s not every day you take a risk and get to play with fire

so I need some antivenin with cures that dispel the bends,
plus a sturdy weapon for the sole purpose of self-defence would be great
and maybe give a word or two of encouragement
since my brain feels like a bear that’s gotten loose in the circus tent

and I’m moving towards the end of a story someone’s weaving
careening right off the street when the scenery’s buzzing locust
I’m soaking, so sweaty, steam is releasing but nothing opens
the focus is gone, I can’t help but feeling it’s fucking hopeless

and in the darkness that our frilled sun devours
go behind my back where the handle’s still jutting outwards
and pull the blade out slow, show the inner loop cut
splash some whiskey on it to clean it and stitch the wound up


I wish these snakes were your arms
howling wind was your laughter, that the flames were your palms
that the darkness held answers, that the shards were in a prism
I wish that I could go back and start at the beginning

wish I didn’t fuck it up - with a dry tongue payload
wings scrap metal and a fly buzz halo
we might untether and the cables might snap
just say “I love you” and I’ll say it right back


I wish I knew what to say, I wish this wasn’t so difficult
wish this emptiness I’m feeling wasn’t something so visceral
and I wish you could help me, it feels like some kind of joke
to be crushed between these walls and still be stung by the cold

I had a brush with Newton’s laws, and now the liquor’s neck deep
see, I’m barely held together by the skin of red teeth
you’ve been living rent free, up here waiting so patiently
as pink folds of brain matter spell the phrase of “No Vacancy”

been maintaining eye contact with the void yet again
and I’m acutely aware of what that void represents
so I sit and sift through wreckage left by something that I said
while I’m clapping at the flies, that are buzzing by my head

and in the harsh light the night swallows up whole
trace your fingers down the scar until tomorrow unfolds
and sheath that well honed blade, save a mostly bruised heart
splash some whiskey inside the glass and then toast to new starts, please


I wish these snakes were your arms
howling wind was your laughter, that the flames were your palms
that the darkness held answers, that the shards were in a prism
I wish that I could go back and start at the beginning

wish I didn’t fuck it up - with a dry tongue payload
wings scrap metal and a fly buzz halo
we might untether and the cables might snap
just say “I love you” and I’ll say it right back

Part Five: Incomplete Loops

Lyrics: 
Death spiral, we twist in an incomplete loop
you lied and I lied, though we didn’t mean to
with each pulse, our sweat streaked skin is see through
our hollowed out skulls, two things that ring true

death spiral, we twist in an incomplete loop
you lied and I lied, though we didn’t mean to
and in bed, our sweat streaked skin is see through
two hands around my neck, one thing that rings true


I’ve got a doubt or two that’s blooming in my head
you’ve got a memory that’s choosing what I said
the threatening sound of hooves is booming where I tread
with the slightest misstep and it’s ruined once again

became a fist that just wants merge with a chin
while you were slurping out skeletons without disturbing the skin
it’s just another naked truth that we’ll vehemently deny
but like a parasitic worm, they see the secrets in our eyes, it’s a lie


Death spiral, we twist in an incomplete loop
you lied and I lied, though we didn’t mean to
with each pulse, our sweat streaked skin is see through
our hollowed out skulls, two things that ring true

death spiral, we twist in an incomplete loop
you lied and I lied, though we didn’t mean to
and in bed, our sweat streaked skin is see through
two hands around my neck, one thing that rings true


it bubbles to the surface with words you’d blurt out in sleep
you had me immolated in a dream world you burned down with glee
I see recurring motifs, the tone is tinged with resentment
you seem so closed off and cold and your phone that’s hidden reflects this

it’s a death wish to prod or question the loop itself
but maybe in other loops I got the affection that you’ve withheld
evade the fucking truth.. like we’re free of wrong doing
but I’ll never lie again, I’ll let the sleeping dogs do it (it’s a fucking death spiral)

Lyrics:

And if every thing we thought correct
Had just got up and left
I wouldn't hesitate to take another step
In your direction
Recollectin memories we share the best ones
And I'd restart at step one for your affection
I'd get to relearn what makes you laugh and smile
And get mad scrunchin your nose and your brows
I don't know how it happened
It's like some men in black shit 
A click then a flash and now we don't know where our past went
Or what our past was
The half kiss and half touch
Some would call it bad luck 
And i ain't even mad because
I get to experience you all for the first time again
And take you on dates so we can talk about the lifes we live
And i can't wait for that first kiss 
I want it to be perfect
Even thinking bout it's making me nervous 
This is all just so surreal
I can't even begin to wait to get to know how you feel

If. .we. .would. .re. .set
I wouldn't mind
I wouldn't mind, i wouldn't mind no
×4

okay, freeze frame argument
we’re sitting on a park bench
our past is running circles through me,
I’m stuck on your arc length,
every evening we spent cheerful hangs
suspended in air
we both agreed that we ain’t working
though, we ended it there
and every sip of morning coffee you made
after i slept over or the way you slipped your 
sweater off your shoulder just to trace me through 
your supernova tattoo on your collarbones
comes floating back in monochrome, 
sheathed in a protective cover 
i’d give anything  to relive me and you in technicolor,
reincarnate months back to the party where I met you
where we dipped and watched the starlit sky then woke up in your bedroom
it’s not a second chance, you see, I want a second play-through
some way where if I fuck up I’d rewind to an escape route
and evade making the wrong choice
program every date with a respawn point
and meander through the multiverse, i’d go whatever distance
till I happen on a parallel dimension that’s not this one

If. .we. .would. .re. .set
I wouldn't mind
I wouldn't mind, i wouldn't mind no

[lyrics]
Thought i had some wings, but I aint never fly right
I be running, stumblin for change
Go ahead giiirl do yo thang, i support dont need that brain
Tie my hair and then braid it up
Spending money like my bread is up
Buy a lotto ticket win them bucks
Dont need that luck, dont need that luck, you know yeah
You just wanna be with me like bullets to a soldier 
music got my soul up
Driving like i stole it
there in an instant 
Ramen noodle minutes 
Asking me “When you come and kick it?”
Well I feel so damn different
Im in this for more than a minute 
Im grooving and zooming
But minding my business
Inside a prius so you cant hear us
Thats okay we dont need to interact
I be everywhere concrete or crack
Workflow all day
Im grinding , grinding ask me where you find it, find it? X2
2018 care about yourself
Dont worry bout them cuttin ties
You do you and they'll watch you fly
They come back like a bunch of flies
They smell that you the shit
Call it manure maneuvers 
dont fuck with them old things, unless you a cougar 
Then come on and pounce 
Yo lo hago todo (ill do it all)
Living in the lodo (living in the mud)
This my fe (this is my faith)
My mente never let rest (my mind never let me rest)
And yes This is me in my doubt 
Imagine me when i b out
Liberated im my oown now
Actually idk ive been stuck for so daaamn long
What i gotta do to get thru this
gotta switch the flow
ooh yeah

part 3 of sisyphus, i finished what samsa had started writing, then got chris to rap it


Lyrics:

I was here before nothing you know you existed 
I'll be here when everything you knew is gone  
I made you in my image, thought of you as children, 
Thought that I was finished, I admit it though, I think I'm wrong

You were naive to think that you were the first
I was naive to think that you'd be the last
Pointless at best, and more than cruel at worst,
I've talked to you like this a thousand times in the past

I was never born, will never die, I've seen your kind through heaven's eyes
Since Genesis you've been inventing pens to write and genocide
And just to spend the time I kindled light from the dark
Then from mist and chaos I created life from a spark

I fashioned storms and galaxies and DNA from spirals
Balanced tidal waves, planetary rings and solar cycles
And coded every photon, atom, evening, and morn
Made you out of clay and light and fire just 'cause I was bored

But though I've combed the multiverse there's nothing but monotony
The same-old mass-extinction now no longer even bothers me
So I'll uproot a pillar of creation or two
or maybe cause a trillion supernovae just to reboot

Set off interstellar fireworks from antimatter bombs
Then hatch a cosmic egg from scratch to yield a brand-new dawn
And though it always ends the same I've got no Elysium
In this infinite existence to alleviate tedium

But maybe life's absurd and I just need to rebel
Despite my certain fate it doesn't mean that it's hell
So I'll keep molding solar systems, that should be enough
Rolling boulders in the Holy Kingdom til the sun comes up

Lyrics:

I can't seem to say a word but i hope that you see the message in my eyes
And i know this sounds absurd but girl i still feel our connection in the silence
I'm mumbling around you
You still hang around me
I love that i found you
But i just cannot speak
In the presence of a goddess 
Girl i think you keep me quiet
And i like it

Oh man, I think it's love at first sight
I hope I dream the same scenario that runs through her mind
I've got the wherewithal to play it out, take her out to outer space
I've planned the date down to a science, while her eyes just, how you say, uhh

nevermind, I'm trying to say she's something else
she manipulates my glacial heart, that her tongue could melt
I'm hunkered down in bunkers 'round a lovely battlefield
my safety's on, but all the butterflies still flutter out the gun barrels

I think a cat got my.. what's it called
we had locked eyes once and you could cut the tension with uh, something sharp
tons of sparks and other smart metaphors formed between us
in uncharted territory, need to procure some visas

like those triangle things in Giza, so visually stunning/
I'm a sucker for that uhh colored hair and her lips are so lovely
like the damn, what's the word, her freckles like stars that speckle the sky or something
I don't know I think my mind is buffering, I'm just speechless

Hook

You've got the. .touch.. of. a million angels
A pill i take to levitate to go higher than rainbows

A.... a.... no I've got it on the tip of my tongue hold on

Oh! And you're an angel
Okay hang on
I know that wasn't very charming but
Your alabaster keys strike the strings of my heartbeat
And make me stop and think, well. .not think.. i mean partly
But i just cannot seem to find something that hits the mark
How'd this even start?
Maybe i should buy a teleprompter
Type out all my sentences ahead of time
Finesse these awkward situations
But maybe that wouldn't be genuine
And I'd begin to slip into a state of charted destinations
A place so far away from yesterday's cathartic stasis
Guess it's hard to say that when my tongue's tied I still feel amazing
You make me feel amazing
You make me feel amazing
You make me uhhhh
