Song re the Sky Pink and purple sunsets are the ones that you believe in so how you hang your head so low, I just can't see The reasons you would offer from an outpost in the weeds grey Pink and purple sunsets are reserved for true believers to cease to feign to know, just unwinding the notion there was anything at all before today, hey, you're stacking the vote, guy Solipsistic misfit gonna get your intuition right up off of me Sorry if you sense that I'm a bit more optimistic than I ought to be you were more than half the reason I had lost mind my mind lost it back in the i don’t care where now Solipsistic misfit gonna get your intuition right up off of me sorry if you sense that I’m a bit more optimistic than I ought to be You were right between the right and wrong and if you don’t take me back to the i don’t care where now Pink and purple sunsets at the twilight of achievement, a known and knotty old thing given to breathing And if I like it better when I"m riding in the rain Well, hey. Giving off the air that you've got somewhere else to be and i’ve got nothing. And if this winter taught me nothing I'd complain But honestly I don't think we can determine if that season was even on Earth Solipsistic misfit gonna get your intuition right up off of me sorry if you sense that I’m a bit less optimistic than I ought to be. You were more than half the reason I had lost my mind.

Z The only ones around me have had it up to here It's in my bag of tricks to up and disappear Lead me right off the balcony right into the pier or give my one-dose fantasies all my calls, or it's no deal And I roar one orange the air around me is just as nice as it was yesterday. And he gave me eighty, which was 20 too much but it's all good, not no longer foreign, not anymore I planted flags from seeds, from weeds. but sometimes I feel like an old riverbed. Just aim me, I'm already mostly made of arrows. Just claim me. My ghost's as wide as my hair is narrow, but it's mean to always be on your stride. You and me, I'll bet we got the self-same marrow. Counting sheep with my both hands just in the air. E-la-de-da-da but sometimes I feel like an old riverbed. Huge insane right in my morning glass. Bougie bangs down to her one eyelash. It's all a joke. I misspoke. Have a toke, it's a hard, hard row. And you got hoe it one way or another bitch there’s just no way around it

wax nerves 00:27
You had a lot of wax nerves, had to orbit at the right distance, not to drip on my infinity, or piss into the void, as it were not. You got wax nerves pulled through flesh block, cut up onto the table, put into pie. Your nerves are made of wax. I’m melting them and you won’t get them back.

glassfire (things that are my neck is) Whose side, glassfire? Whose side, glassfire? Loose eye on my glassfire whose eye on glassfire, oh no Who spies any new twists in my spine, glassfire? And I’ve tried every last search string and glassfire’s a no go I’m lost in your eyes, and hollow I told another lie from my leaking head. I told another lie in your lengthy bed. I'm unwound, I'm unhappy to say the one true son is running away. Told another lie, and I don't know why. I don't know why. Not a good time to try to be anywhere near me cuz i’m in the throes again but you look good with the glassfire on and the glassfire looks good on you And I’ve got the planchette right on your chest and the thing don’t move Glassfire, oh no

kyanite 06:03
kyanite talking out of the backside of my mouth like I got something good to crow about i'll leave it on the altar or put it in a play and i wont have to believe got the stones to receive a solar wave instead of employing a mountain or a cave I may dissolve my head until I'm dead tap an infinite bleed know that I'm insane it’s not just a trick of your eye but holy shit, I’m in the heights and I’m gonna abuse them while I’m young, you know because I seen how I shine in those hands gotta make the metaphor more real gotta marry the thinky and the feels and if I know more about blue than you it's just a fact that i heed And maybe Jesus was a mushroom in my mind and maybe he's not meant to take up permanent residence in someone’s head, when after all, you know, they say he was only a ‘visitor’ know that I'm insane it's not just a trick of your eye. full stop, no surprise I’m in the heights now this is a fight holy shit lost time on my last legs but now they’re gone because I seen how I shine in those hands Gobi on ten toes or a lap in Antarctica can’t even sleep no more get up with the sun before I’m old so far gone I'm bout to just peace out and find myself in the woods told him he should wait it out but I already knew what I would No I'm never gonna leave this town with my tail between my legs gotta bag of seeds to sow instead make the most of my infrared head

Oregon 06:43
Oregon Ask me to stay, another four days, with noetic breakthroughs, or always. Ask me on high, with pink and blue lines, when no one can break you, or always. Spent too much, and it's all gone. I spent too much time in Oregon. Spent too much. No heaven, no heaven. we lay in peace tonight. Your bony body got me on your case and up against the boards. Relief. No heaven, we lay in peace tonight. Ask me to go now that you know lead and then follow ask me tomorrow if we'll always Ask me if you've ever been screwed like we are now screwed down to our past and it's always Spent too much and it's all gone I spent too much time in Oregon No heaven, no heaven We lay in peace tonight. Your bony body got me on your case and up against the boards Relief. No heaven. We lay in…. Did you get that suitcase I left for you? Do you even know what’s in the folds, that somehow that letter, though untrue, if you only knew Yeah, did you? Did you forget about that shit the moment I got in a the car as I cried as I drove away for the next hours it’s a shame to say, but now all I want is my shirt back No heaven, we lay in Your bony body got me baby, got me up against relief at last and no no no we lay in.

so strange to be living within this purple and green vine see very clearly my husk for the lack of a tree how am I out and about not swinging from but oozing out of head just out of reach scans meatspace for the confirmation of the fact that my head is lodged upon my shoulders looking like that reverse out of the spot become my brother instead become radicalized out of boredom and believe If there is any chance I’m actually in this body and no way cool the jets for takeoff as silverskull pierces the utmost canopy preferences considered still improbable
