Cat hair in my coffee and a fruit fly in my wine It's nothing I believe in but I'll use it for a time And all I know is it is easier to set yourself on fire than make a rhyme Brother’s in the oval singing praises to the sun Even when it's heavy he still makes it seem like fun And there's no torture in the art of cooking bodies for the fellowship of sons I'm blinded by the smell of bourbon skin What comes out reflects that which is in Adam’s in the garden charming snakes with apple seeds The simplest way to pull the wool is satisfy her needs And we all learned the fear of God and beast but boys still get to live under the tree YEAH¿ Every note I write's a borrowed line Guess it has to happen all the time Is that why we drink so much When we’re all cold and tired? Light another stick and Put your fingers in the fire Is that why we talk so much? Not eating for a while In comfy beds with devils at our side Puppy pulls a disk out of my liquor weakened spine He says it is an accident but now he's got my time!! So I can learn to fuck a beat but I can't drop all of the juice I've self prescribed. Y EA HGHHH I will drink until I'm good and dead I will sleep when I am dead Is that why we drink so much When we’re all cold and tired? Light another stick and Put your fingers in the fire Is that why we talk so much? Not eating for a while In comfy beds with devils at our side Is that why we drink so much? We always find an excuse.

Is it easier to understand the anger of a mom When her kid or partner’s blood is used to water public lawns? Would the nationwide yelled battle cries begin to ring more true If their fate could just as easily become you? Now the separation of a sex or color can decide That the brightest young white minds should be identity blind If you strip a house of paint does it deserve to be set fire Carried off in a tornado, drowned in mudslide? How do we release all the subjugated ones, is it really so hard to see through eyes of empathy? The fight is always on the hands more hopeful. When you understand the inherit motives within a culture that color coats evil to sell a line or make a dime, the jokes thrown back on you When we start to cut the freedom of our poor into our wrists When our red and white flow separately underneath our skin When we start to fight instead of writing meaningless ass songs Will we understand we can't just get Along?? How do you recover the segregated ones, is it really so hard to see through eyes of empathy? The joke is always on the hearts more hopeful. A justice long delayed is a justice that's denied through a system inventing class-based crimes to punish life But who's to blame, the light shines bright onto you In hopes that dry hearts can suck up enough compassion to give a fuck for a sec It's easy to hide underneath the covers of lighter colored safety But dont please There are friends in need How do you discover the empathetic ones, is it really that hard to see through eyes of prejudice? The joke is always on the hearts more hopeful. The lives that matter most are the ones you kill for sport, it's Americas new/old favorite pastime, grab a seat, get comfortable, the shows just starting nowWWW

Sneaking around like I care if I'm caught, run like I stole everything that I bought I'm sick, always sicK Praying that God puts a hole in my tongue to make up for sins and the rights I've made wrong How sad, always sad, it's just sad, always sad Laugh till I cry and I eat till I puke, or go 80 hours with nothing but juice, it's cute Always SIKC Lyin on the floor like I'm only in dreams, swim through the Rivers and hope to find self esteem It's so sad, it's all I have, all I have... 🎵I don't know just when it started I don't know why I keep trying or why I believe my therapist Jesus told me I was covered But embarrassing chemicals don't seem to be her top priority Why would they be??? Taking shots to go to sleep and coffee mugs to get back up Cigarettes to cut the edge and mushrooms to remind me what I love Oh my god I'm in a fantasy until I sleep, dreams tell all the secrets that my muddy soul is tryna keep Beware of dog he'll kiss you places you forget exist Sam is in the kitchen, cooks to catch me up on what I missed When he sets the table and the scene for what we can expect it's dizzying displays of love and care from one who understands Strolling around like I don't give a fuck!!!!!! Run to the trouble and hell that I wrought, it's sad, always SAD Wait for the hole in my tongue from the lord Pray till my sins and my fears are restored It's so silly, always sad ITSSSOSADALWAYSSAAD Have I finally found a peace within myself? Have I finally found a place where I can live with this? I've felt it all along that I can be at ease I've always known what I think I believe My mother and my father And the people that I trust the most Think the things that they say matter That they make a difference in the end Can I escape routines that I've been in if I change the script and scene again? Or is the ending always gonna be the same damn thing Oh I don't know-;($&&” Never thought it would feel good to make happy life with food Eating consequence and feeling till my thighs tell me I'm full@ Sitting cross legged in the air Pretend I don't even care Till reality and hopes taste like the same burnt breath of air Everything turns out so nicely in the summertime 🥰 (sometimes not) I don't know why shit is harder than it was when I was 21 Now I'm the only one All out protest of chemistry set Like beakers and burners, not organs and bones I cannot help but shut eyes and wonder what we'd discover if we'd remember Sun covered body on tick covered mound Tree is my mother, ant is my sister Playing in concert to sing me the sound The whole world is spinning to keep me on ground

If you wanna be with me I can make your dreams come true I'm a crazy person baby Don't you know it's all for you? The last time I took my medication Roads turned rivers, mouths of bridges swallowed half alive Sarah saved me from the swine Hoof clawed my mouth to bits Lost in a forest please let's go to bed If you wanna be with me Baby there's a price to pay You'll regret another minute if you let me get my way All attempts to scrub the mud out my soul sent it packing To another blacker place to hide Residence now undefined lack of desire for communion with another human light If you wanna be with me I can make your dreams come true I'm a crazy person baby Don't you know it's all for you?

I never thought I'd be the last one of my silly friends to grow up Dunno if it's a matter of right or wrong, I just needed you Searching for nothing walking across state and city lines Found it stuck in a glass of tequila water and lime Am I wrong for that? I never thought I'd be the last one of my silly friends to grow up Every time we compared our notes I thought that I was way ahead?!) All of them power walking by me behind baby strollers I'm behind freezers holding cold milk in my hands Am I wrong for that? And every roller coaster I come by I take a ride And every shiny heads up penny fuels another fire I trim a branch for every root that grows in fertile ground Another lash falls from an eye I never thought I'd be the last one of my fucking friends to own up To all the shit that kept us in a holding pattern for so long All of us waving on each other's tells and warning signs Waiting for nothing thinking change just happens from inside!!!!!!(?) Am I wrong for that? And every roller coaster I come by I take a ride And every shiny heads up penny fuels another fire I trim a branch for every root that grows in fertile ground Another lash falls from an eye And all the forest fires that ignite in city lines Would take a mudslide to remind me that the grounds alive Another twister puts another house up in a tree Another drop falls from the sky

Flail 03:32
Cutting up lines to make the brain pick a side its the natural demise of the heart and the body Ringing alarms inside the legs and the arms newest addition to parts being lopped off for charity Woman or man the middle is what it can be in a time when your color's as dangerous as anything Comfort is found in liquor liters and mountains of cigarette butts littering the front porch It's alright, not easy It's alright, don't hurt yourself It's alright, not simple It's alright, you'll figure out Seasons will change and the body deteriorates with some hate and increased instability Glacial waves they erode and the chest it gives way spilling rivers of blood and hostility But I got the keys to the house on the hill where the devil can't find me, try as he will My friends and my demons they fall on their swords or they fight for the rights to my minds open doors It's alright, not easy It's alright, don't hurt yourself It's alright, not simple But it's alright, you'll figure it out That in this town you gotta be fit baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Driving on an interstate, I don’t know the number, name, cardinal direction or final destination See a boy on roller skates, think about the time it takes to get wherev you’re going at leg-powered pace Stop to ask a public place how they hope to win a race - slow and steady, fast and heavy, brownie points or protein shakes Anyway it takes is the general consensus until a voice is heard high above the rest All them witches blow your bridges I knew everyone was laughing at ussssssss until everybody started catching up to us We are all the same but go by many different names, none of which is sinner, bigot, fag or slut ~ mkay? All them witches blow your bridges If you drink up the ocean you’ll piss out a sea!! And all of them witches took all the things that made you easy on yourself!!! You ate from the tree!!! Acquired the knowledge!!!! And questions like “If the earth falls in the sun, will the moon have space for us??? Is anything real????” I doubt it. All them witches blow your bridges And we’re still stuck at exit 32

Petty 06:16
The first thing I noticed was my wrist The bone that protrudes softening around flesh I didn't recognize A joint that I use constantly Flexing with every movement suddenly looked different Bags under my hollow eyes wonder why my body began to betray me The separation between thighs and taught skin on my chest breathe heavy and wince with every sigh At 20 I'd already seen that what's wrong in the world is much bigger than me But that doesn't stop us from treating ourselves the one way we know how With taught fingers, furrowed brow Dangling a string down our throat, teasing reflexes we were taught to ignore At 21 I learned to lie And how to cover all my bases when forced to confront myself The mysterious weakness of my face grew more apparent every day In that old familiar way I thought could only happen to others To walk and not grow tired To drink and not get hungry To work and not be trampled by the expectations of me To knock and turn a handle To ask and find the answer To eat and feel the benefits of life and not the cancer To walk and not get hungry To drink and not get hungry To work and not get hungry :)

Gaze 05:21
If you think that this is progress, you're the last to know When your language loses flavor, hemorrhage starts to show When the body's dried for hours on sweating August road Blue will take the fear defense Black blood under white robes Lets assassinate the country, cut dirt from the grout Bleach the asshole of the nation, licking crimsy pout Finish whitewashing our signals leaving us no doubt Poison in the water main or faces cracked in drought When you own up to the slaughter of a million sons When you stop telling the daughters they're not pretty ones When you feel rejected cuz you dropped the wool that spun Fear and blame society for those under the same sun Violent opposition to those sittin in the throne Born and bred to rip out teeth not platinum spoon alone Dance or die in streets, state houses, in your daddy's home Peace will come when justice comes, act like you didn't know The laws of God and Government, consumed and taught as heaven sent Are darkening the darker streets and sniffing for more blood to drink So generations have to die to honor different shades of life?? We'll give the guns to animals and pray for peace for good and all okay

Purple Door 01:58
Tell yourself I love you when you wake every day Cuz I won't get to see you grow and disintegrate I live inside a tree without a leaf for a rake Your house a purple castle built on 10,000 lakes Wait a couple days before you waste any prayers And sing a song to tell me you won't go anywhere The April snow falls harder than it did yesterday We'll try to find the balance of release and decay ugggggggh
