“You & I”

Delving to the marrow
Raising trust to cleave the crust
To find inside all grist
To make joy of sorrow

Naked hearts unveil their arts

Over sun hills
And through moon valleys
Planting seeds as we grow
Blonde turns grey
As life arcs towards finale
Yet reap we still what we sowed

Ascending mystic mountains
Plying word to split the mist
Where rare two minds in tryst
Have sipped from fresh fountains

Kindred hearts lighten the charts

Over sun hills
And through moon valleys
Planting seeds as we grow
Blonde turns grey
As life arcs towards finale
Yet reap we still what we sowed

You & I

Kcult Western Tomb - 3:28:25, 12.52 AM

all of my dreams

(prod. by aaron lepley)

rolled into the ER, my brief life full of regrets 
told i’m far too young to know how bad it all can get
but “doctor, you’ve never been a 13 year old girl”
i coughed up a pearl, my hair hasn’t curled
more + more unfree as it unfurled 

paramedics are now undertakers
turned me into a hunter of fakers
cocoon learned how to convulse
in time to cut my own pulse 

scalp ripped-out blonde locks with no keys 
inclined to beg but i got no knees
clones need to be cut down to the groan, please 

it’s bye-bye to this cruel earth
it’s all the drool that gives me girth
a fool to count that as my worth
a ghost song for a ghoul’s mirth 

mom + dad can’t look at my forearms
too bad i wasn’t born with more charms
a daughter can never do no harm

this is my adolescence, with built-in below-the-belt pain
please, i must know how to most efficiently melt my brain 

looked like a cleopatra, they said
i wish i was her, aka dead
i gotta make myself miniscule
and bring it down to the molecule

great i survived, i’m still alive, yay
despair when we pull into the driveway
here planning my window dive day

get led astray + get thrown off the scent
i’m right like the angles when my bones go all bent

double-jointed, slink to the summit
death rattle distinct, you can hum it
born mansion’d, now i slum it
it’s easy to solve this whodunit 

what if i were to go all cave crawler up in the cavity?
and/or graze globes with not even the slightest hint of gravity? 

this is my adolescence, with built-in below-the-belt pain
need to know how to most efficiently melt my brain 

pageantry of parental love
gentle dove meets dental glove
i jumped: wasn’t push come to shove
look up: it’s me as i come from above 

tied myself to the train tracks
no blindfold when my brain blacks
knock you out with my wingspan
now go ahead, kiss my ringed hand

party sucked, they were all so dense 
life story ends impaled on the fence
pale face, make it make sense 
i spared you from even more suspense 

last straw was their last taunt
at least now i know who to haunt 
flesh rots, they’re off in the yacht
lux need a noose, i’ll tie the knot

should have first shot up the mall + the fakes at school
because you’re never ever too small to break the rules 
they tried to diagnose what it was that was so wrong with me
died all gross, split like a spit-roast, i’m too strong to be free

one sister down… 
4 more to go

Cecilia (The Not-So-Virgin Suicides #1)

Understand that what feels wrong is wrong. Don't agree to harm anyone directly or indirectly. Don't contribute to power of greed. Contribute to power of love and humanity. Persistence, even if it feels like it is weak and slow, is enough. The key is to keep being against inhumanity, violence, greed, evil forever. There are more good people on earth than bad ones. Everything will be good.

LULLABY FOR VIOLENCE

“Don’t Let It Be Love”

Don’t you go do it
Hurts to go through it
Don’t you go hopin’
O my heart

First you were sleepin’
Idly beatin’
But you peeked through our eyes
‘n she have you a start

Let me think through it
‘fore we pursue it
‘fore we get dreamin’
Let’s give it a thought

It’s probably nothin’
You’re easily gushin’
Feelin’ through our eyes
Don’t get us caught

Oh no, no it isn’t love
No, don’t let it be love

Now you’ve done did it
Why’d you go do it
Now I’m all feelin’
Now you make it stop

Mind your own business
I’s mindin’ my business
Then you glimpsed her vision
‘n she made you go pop

No she didn’t
You’re just smitten
She didn’t smile
Tha’s a courteous grin

She wasn’t winkin’
Just weirdly blinkin’
Get outta my head
‘n keep to your part

Oh no, no it isn’t love
No, don’t let it be love

But what if it’s love
More than just kind of
Yeah, what if it’s love
And we fit like hand in glove
Yeah, yeah
What if it’s love
The kind with flying doves

And she flies my heart away
What would become of me?

No no no no no

No, it isn’t love
Just a flood of rushing blood
No, it isn’t love
Just an unruly feeling in my gut
Nope
No, it isn’t love
Just a heady bluff

But what if she flies my heart away
Who cares what becomes of me?

Now you’ve done it
Bet you’re pretty proud of it
Getting’ me lovin’ 
Now don’t let it flop

I’s mindin’ my business
When you glimpsed her vision
‘n saw a prevision
That I couldn’t cop

You got me thinkin’
Maybe I’m missin’
Somethin’ they’re singin’
In all of that pop

Yeah, now you’ve done it
I’m so full of feelin’
My head is reelin’
Just don’t let it stop
Don’t let it stop
