lyrics

this nightmare is a funnel of celestial gestures dispersed into mundane events //I will not correct my words,
*diffused whimpers and grunts of disinterested shambling's display as vacant shells rattling the dull chimes of fragile thoughts*

never apart from you, the distance is out of context, interpretation of facets to imagine something pure retains form

nothing won't burden you
a cruel thing to say
when you've left it open
circuit line cross rhyme
bitter space of lime soaked lace
open house ink blot book
meaning lost expired bubbles preserved thought
jam mud grind pace shawl droplet fuzz blanket tin

broken things with no means of fixing them
fire accelerates change
dust is weightless in comparison

admitting seeing something that scares evokes a restlessness
locking away and subduing suffocates thinking until burdens are dissolved into the glitter that reflects a solution

Something in my head, better off said, to know what echoes out
into dreams, I'm loosing steam, something she said
I was better off dead, though I always knew, that I'd persevere
to step to fear, I'm always near

And I won't forget what you said
the words run through my head

I can't think of anything to start,
I saw a spark & suddenly
I fell into some glass,
I didn't mind because scars are blind
and stars are sight or light or they bite down under
into your skin of the dark dark moonshadowed night

the white horse lays down
the little prick has given her a restful piece
or a sexual beat
or a hard blown sleep
with soft music by your side in the trash heap we lived in

to break it down
my mind is torn
but I know about the storm
lightning stabbing your intestines
a dark laughter taking over
a guilty mind for a mother
or if your father is not a fuck

torn down storm
when everything comes nothing fills the space
black and white dissolve boundaries
who I am today must change for I become irrelevant tomorrow

everyone thought she was a rapper
underneath her stripped skin and dusty flamed hair she sets the world on fire
and the ashes dissolve boundaries

stay safe
keeping pace
