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.

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

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

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
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
