Smell

i still smell you almost every night
inside my mind where we still live together, at the base of a mountain at a bend in a river
forever
i still feel you lying there with our little baby puppy, waging her tail
in the morning when the sun comes through the window, your body glowed and glows
dancing in the grocery store
smiling and laughing with you
forever
you always listened to my whining about nothing
always skirting the point of the matter
i put a wall between us
i let down our love
what we had was beautiful
forever in my mind
dancing in the kitchen when we’re making dinner
smiling and laughing
in my mind

Lungs

i fill my lungs with thc and nicotine
my fucking gums are rotting away from my teeth
i used to run miles and miles alone
but my now my knees hurt and my lungs half work
a self-indulgent manifestation of our times
you are the worst, no i’m not
i’m just a person tryina get through the day
and yes i’m selfish, spoiled, short-sighted and weak
but i’m a person, just the same as you
i can’t go on hating myself this much everyday
it’s unsustainable
and fuck that bullshit
i could die any day
i want to taste the air on top of a mountain
my passion satiated
my lust in check
lonely as the day is long
do you feel it?
shifting inside of you
i feel it inside of every strangers face
you and i, all alone and sharing this space
my life is worth the same as yours
i feel it inside of every moments heart
you and i, all alone and sharing this space
your life is yours to live or fail

Control
03:01
|

let’s get a snack, smoke something
eat a pizza, have a hobby, care about sports
pray to jesus, worship satan, tend to your crystal garden
we’re living our days in a myriad of different ways
it’s ok to be you, do you agree?
i see you sitting in the corner wondering how the heck everybody got so confident
they’re not
we’re living in constructs handed down through time
to supplement the need to feast and fuck
that arose when our minds
started asking why
do i live and do i die
and feel so much
control
you're obfuscating the truth
i wonder around with my head in the clouds where my dreams reside
passively benefiting from a system that i despise
i don’t know anything
i don’t know anything
living and dying
one foot in front of another
wandering, fading, failing for freedom

Feel

how do you feel about your life when you’re all alone?
do you feel fine about how you’ve been spending all of your time?
what are you gonna do when you grow up?
hey man, i think we’ve been grown up for quite some time
who are you?
you know you’ll be gone
never to return to this place in this shape or arrangement
i like to think about coming back as a flower or better a dog
that’s if my energy has the time to cycle through matter for that
but i doubt that it does
it feels like our failings big and small are coming to roost
and kill us all
my reflection keeps self love at bay
would life be worse if you like’d yourself
you’re all alone out there
breathing and hoping
trying your best
why not use the only set of tools that you’ll ever have
to be better

Moon Song
02:51

|
under the moon my body quakes
did you have a good day, or did you just have, another day?
you know you only get so long before you go and live in the dirt forever
so stop fucking up and making weak excuses for pathetic action
under the sun my body writhes, burns and turns and quivers
all i do is want and all i want is more
i felt my soul slip loose in false contentment
what do i need to feel wonderful?
why is that so important
how much does one person need to handle the nothingness of reality?
today, tomorrow maybe i’ll act on all that advice i so freely give
and build a life i’m proud of
where i breathe truth and respect myself

human connection
as it spreads through your forward movement, unequal
spent the bulk of my existence lying to myself
scared of what you think of me
the way i act and talk and love
and use my mind to navigate the spaces i reside in
what do you think of me now that we’re older
do you like and respect me?
i don’t care, of course i fucking care
but when you ask that question then you know the answer
how much can you take from me?
exactly the amount that i let you
come on in, i tend to feed on the burn
soaking wet and screaming
that is where i’m living
it comes at a cost that i disregard
human connection
as it spreads through your forward movement, unequal
you say you’re shy but i think you might be an asshole
only thinking about how the world affects you
it’s ok i do the same shit only louder
human connection
