Is it benign?
Cough it up
Are you still trying to start something you know is not right?

Can you rely on the ills you deem desires?
Can’t you see I’m growing tired of this

Call it a rush 
Call it a fix
You wanna touch
But you’re still sick
Go and handle it    

Saying it’s love
But I’m no thicker than
Thinking this hug is more so a sedative
Get it in

If you tell them
What you told me
You know everyone’s getting it

If you think you really know me
You’d know I can’t be your medicine

Would you lie
In the face of the light of your life
If it meant you’d have more time for this?

Gripping my mind 
Head on my heart
Beating inside
Beating in the dark but your candle’s lit

I’m not a victim but I wanna give in
Sometimes I think about it after you dip
Owo

You’re in town and you do it again 
It’s not a sickness that they’ll always forgive
Owo

If you tell them
What you told me
You know everyone’s getting it

If you think you really know me
You’d know I can’t be your medicine

Electing for self protection 
through words in your fool proof message 

How human Is your intention
If the standard is perfection?

When they breathe through the passion
And they see through
The utterances you cling to
You know that
Everyone will be getting it
Everyone will be getting it
Everyone

I feel your essence through my ears and in between
The sky’s an endless painting in a squatter’s museum
I’ll have to swim through her skies
If I’m to find my way to you
Where the clouds will pave a pathway for the moonlight

That’s where I’ll find you
Living off lover’s cravings
That’s when I’ll find you
Beside me

I’ll be behind you
Living off lover’s cravings
That’s when I’ll find you
To guide me

You’re the lover that I am under
Speak with your eyes
You’ve suffered
So I’m inclined
To wonder

Where are you
Where are you
Where are you
Where are you

That’s where I’ll find you
Living off lover’s cravings
That’s when I’ll find you
Beside me

I’ll be behind you
Living off lover’s cravings
That’s when I’ll find you
To guide me

There’s a reason she’d like you
Alongside the moon
With a squatter you share your art 
Which she deems too good to be true

Either the truth lingers deep
Within her lungs and up the hill
Or my words have been falsehoods
From the moment that they spilled

Out

That’s where I’ll find you
Living off lover’s cravings
That’s when she’ll find you
Beside me

I’ll be behind you
Living off lover’s cravings
That’s when I’ll find you
To guide me

Tell me again, come on 
Again, come on
How do you feel about me?
Is the pain inside?
Do I taste like the life you’ve been craving?

It’s not fortune that you’re telling
It’s just fortunate you fell in
Fell into bed with me

Want you to say
What you want
With me
‘Cos I
Know what I want with you

I want you 
And your beautiful mind
Are you true
Or do you dance with disguise?

I’m changing like the pigment of your face as
The wine seeps through your teeth
The valley’s getting lower 
But the highs are higher than they’ve ever been

When’s the last time I think I felt this 
Helpless
Back breaking thinking with my pelvis
Quell these feelings by talking to myself
I’m shell-less 
Yolk dripping yellow on the toast
I’m hoping 
I can make use of all the jokes
They’re poking 
Fun at all the things I like most
Don’t leave me with the cat 
Girl the tension is potent
Standing at the front at your show
Did you notice?
Tell me do you know that

I want you
And your beautiful mind
Are you true
Or do you dance with disguise?

I’m changing like the pigment of face as
The wine seeps through your teeth
The valley’s getting lower 
But the highs are higher than they’ve ever been

Well clip me on the clothes line
I will drip down miles and miles
I’ll bloom in flowers
As they tower over me once more

Well clip me on the clothes line
I will drip down miles and miles
I’ll bloom in flowers
As they tower over me once more

And I won’t want you
Or your beautiful mind
Are you true 
Or do you dance with disguise?

I’m changing like the pigment of face as
The wine seeps through your teeth
The valley’s getting lower 
But the highs are higher than they’ve ever
Been

Find me in the grease of your mind
Find me on the beach where I lie
I’ll be there too
I’ll be there too

View me through a stained glass iris
In every light there’s a lifelessness oh
Don’t let it bloom
Don’t let it bloom

Frack down deep in my core
Ravage and reap my rewards
They’re stocked for you
You don’t need an excuse

Find me in the leaves as they’re dying
Find me in the seed as it sews and binds 
And breaks right through
And bears new fruit

I’ve so much to learn
To unpeel, to unwind
Didn’t know how to love, or share my light
I cannot blame you, no
I cannot blame you, no

I seek not to keep what is gone
Need you to be who you are
Yet you’re consumed
I’ll never change you

Won’t always be what you want
but you want what you want 
but you want what you want
but you want what you want

Stained Glass Iris

That band drove all the way from 
El Paso Texas
Still had so much to say 
On that stage made of paper
Stage made of paper

You know they like performers with 
Barren shoulders
Bitten lips or lips peeled open by 
Someone’s paper
Someone’s paper

I read the BBC gossip column and call it a day
Aware I’m wasting my time and patterns are taking their shape
But I never brought the ball point pen to the page 
Because I’m always waiting

Sit down
You got your make up sex and a melt down
You want to know what’s next
Why can’t you live in the question?
Why can’t you live in the question?

I believe 
I believe faithfully
Given so much 
I want to give it all up
For a second time round on the playground
From the second I found you I’ve been down

I read the BBC gossip column and call it a day
Aware I’m wasting my time and patterns are taking their shape
But I never brought the ball point pen 
To the page because I’m always waiting

You’re not here 
To be honest
But your voice unlocks me regardless
I’m drunk on the thought of being loved by 
Someone who’s not you
Someone who’s not you
Someone who’s not you

I read the BBC gossip column and call it a day
Aware I’m wasting my time and patterns are taking their shape
But I never brought the ball point pen 
To the page because I’m always waiting
Always waiting
Always waiting
Always waiting

I wanna know how high you get
I want to read the book inside your head
I need time away
I need time away

We were racing 
For the prize
I want it slow
I want it slow

Walkin on ice
Heart on fire
Isn’t this nice
Aren’t you inspired

I feel fine
Just a little tired
I’m in your life
But I’m stuck in the choir

A building
A body
Each room
An organ

A window 
I see you
Hoping I’m still around

I could show you
I could show you
I could show you
I could show you

Real love

No it’s not what you meant
But it’s still what she felt
Her wounds may not mend as well

If you take one look
You will see what you want to
If you take another 
You might just see what the others
What the others do

I am more than the story I told you to make me feel good

I am one with you all
But I won’t always make you feel good

There is no end
There is no end

Supreme

Addie Harper Junior

Written, produced, and performed by Mackenzie Morris

My heart rests in the palm of your hand
Eyes interwoven, voices in tandem
The hardest part is accepting the way
The way that I am
The way that I am

I am still but the train is moving
Burning desire, growing slowly through me
I already feel what you mean to me
Could take all I have, could take all I have

There’s no better feeling
There’s no better feeling 
Than losing myself
Than losing myself 

There’s no better feeling
There’s no better feeling 
Than losing myself
Than losing myself to you  

Hands grip rails
An elder man begs
Noses pointing down

Winter whispers through the cracks
She’s sending you to the sun

Discontent sprays the walls
One hand clapping in the hall
A groundhog laughs aloud

Sip the air within my ear
Suspend your breath
Pull me nearer

There’s no better feeling
There’s no better feeling 
Than losing myself
Than losing myself 

There’s no better feeling
There’s no better feeling 
Than losing myself
Than losing myself to you

The Way That I Am

i’ll be smoking on sunset plaza
writing notes on my wrists 
as i stroll along the stolen hill
i hum a song that sounds like this

it sounds like 
it sounds like
it sounds like 

i’ll be squatting on a dirt patch
insects sitting on my sun tan
dance with gina on the mountain
best believe we’re humming songs that

sound like 
they sound like 
they sound like
they sound like
