Hyacinth 02:58
Not even God can help me right now Not even Zeus can help me right now Bridges stacked upon each other (Bolts rusted, always dripping to the waves) Oceans roar like glacial failure (Euphoria’s a distant trait) Jumping, falling, looking skyward (Searching) find the world you’ve been after In my blood there'll grow a flower Truly, the end I cry, come collect my oxygen Sunlight is burning outside Gonna lean like a hyacinth
2.
Come back Taylor Best dog I could ask for Dumbest dog in our neighborhood, that's for sure Only dog Ross would want at the foot of his bed during the storm
3.
Potatoes 00:52
Peeling potatoes That’s how my day goes Cooking is my caseload Job search remains slow Pump out some songs and then put on my shows Lying down Looking up the ceiling, the drywall is peeling for days slow For days now it’s worse than it was just a week ago
4.
The Alchemist, hands you a vial and says "add a few drops of this- I think i'll take up the violin I break the pieces just to put em back, i'll hide them out in the crosstown snow, Or in the back of a Cadillac, cross the border to Mexico"
5.
Planted flowers in the sink Now i got nothing to drink My speakers swallowed by the sea Ivy grows on my T(V) The penny fountains in the mall the wishes, granted all, what have we done Enter into the service of the forest no more syphon tree blood If I had about had it, I'd raise hell and make a racket comfort rising makes wild eyed kids real boring until then, i'll sit here, boxed in just like metal gear waiting, until the coast is clear the hedges grow taller with every passing year If we were a cabinet of languages and phonetic spellings I’d tell you what I’d be, I’d be a monk You’d be a warlock
6.
There’s a calm up in this domepiece And in this new home that you used to know I swear I saw a something This space is clear from forces old and dead, for the most part I’d have to guess there’s something passive left Someday I’ll see you again In a chair a lot like this one I knew you were fake but my mom, Leon, Garrett, Jason, and I didn’t care I knew you’d be gone in a couple of minutes, but that’s no reason for us to stare Or get too sentimental about what soon won’t be there I ate my food, laughed a bit, and then pushed in my chair Someday I’ll see you again In a chair a lot like this one
7.
I think I’m gonna go skateboarding today while the weather looks alright I think I’ll write a song on the porch today before my body God does smite While the weather’s nice, the outdoors suffices In the dumpster’s where I threw the computer mice This life is ice cube trays out in the sun I think I’m gonna buy a dog today while my bank account’s alright I think I’ll pick a pitbull today in case I’m in my living room and in a fight While there’s money in my wallet, the trip’s a-okay The dog pound’s who I paid today This life is ice cube trays out in the sun I think I gotta bury my dog today while the weather looks alright I think I’ll write a song about that dog today before my body God does smite While the weather’s nice, the backyard suffices Back there’s where I cried from digging trench Is life a liquid worth freezing anyways Life’s a gas that’s gone before you even knew it stayed

Odd thruple 01:06
Throuple Thick as thieves Fuck the rest of the scene You you and me Kaleidoscope eyes Tertiary mordecai I don’t say enough that means much, and that’s just fine I don’t say “much; that means “enough” in this language of mine I’ll stop shitting on astrology when Kelley Square gets a stop sign And yeah, I am, so don’t give me a hard time
9.
Realer Fates 02:29
You are fucking someone next door and I’m in your room You’ve got two apartments in Manhattan, that’s my crib times two She is an assassin from the Temple of the Burroughs You are fucking someone next door - I hope she kills you I hope she kills me, too Now I remember the drugs in here we used to do Bunch of vacuums, bunch of dirtbags, sucking dirt as I hide in my room Brain’s got one department, huge disaster, it’s a problem If you write it and revisit, the courts have ruled it doesn’t count as talking to yourself Notebooks, open notebooks, dorm desktop looks like it’s mocking my own health I could be your windy night, let me watch from satellite (In the kitchen with the candlestick, better come quick) Driving is just like TV, still a screen between a world and me Now the people outside this billboard town, fifty floors below, it’s getting boring You are fucking someone next door and I’m in your room
