I don't care about anything
but these moments we share
Right or wrong, it's not up to us
Who considers all your prayers?
I only know what's on the walls
I only think about what's real
Until it's time to be revealed
Yr dogma is a spinning wheel
I don't think "god" would notice "me"
if "I" looked "him" in the eye
I don't think "god" will notice "me"
even when "I" "die"
I don't know a thing about
a thing about a thing
Methodical molecules
Are bodies our machines?
Am I the only one?
Am I the only one?
(Not here!!)

I Turn to Art
02:40
|
|
||
I'm like a faceless doll
with dismembered parts
after you broke my heart
na na na na
I turn to art
LIFE IS HARD
Cutting out the magazine pages
pasting shapes
creating new faces
na na na na
I turn to art
I like it hard
You're the prettiest thing I've ever seen
She's the prettiest thing you've ever seen

TNT
04:41
|
|
||
Your mouth is misguided
in a beautiful way
It's like TNT, baby
Your heart is lopsided
in a meaningless way
It's like TNT, baby
Let's lay down and watch it burn
Let's watch all the fireworks
It's like you said, a candlewick
heavily leans to an edge
and your fingertips commit
to wax as you unbury it
Being with you is so strange
I become more passionate
Your eyes are disguised
in a typical way
It's like TNT, baby
It's like TNT buried within me
Let's lay down and watch it burn
Let's watch all the fireworks
It's like you said, a candlewick
heavily leans to an edge
and your fingertips commit
to wax as you unbury it
Being with you is so strange
I become more passionate
Being with you is so strange
I become more passionate

Tiara

Weary mother held her daughter's hand
Let it go child struggled to stand
Baby took her very first steps
On a platform in a corset
YOU'RE JUST SO FUCKIN' PRETTY
I WANNA EAT YR FACE
It was 17 years ago
when mother danced in her last show
Now she is behind the curtain
sewing sequins, deeply certain
She wants to wear No. 5 perfume

FUCK IT! SUCK IT! LICK IT! TRICK IT!
TUCK IT! TUG IT! LOVE IT! SHOVE IT!
FUCK IT! SUCK IT! LICK IT! TRICK IT!
TUCK IT! TUG IT! LOVE IT! BOP IT!

Will You Plug Us In?
02:12
|
|
||
Now that you think you've lost her
You feel dew drops and thunder
All the way to them floodgates
Your wild dendrites cause earthquakes
A when the power runs out, will you let us in?
And when the power runs out, will you plug us in?
Behind you wild creatures
sneak tacitly, undisturbed
Unkind spirits been let out
howling growling crawling
up the walls
Give up the nostalgia of being sad
Stand up take off and never look back
Give up the comfort of being mad
Stand up take off never look back
And when the power runs out, will you let us in?
And when the power runs out, will you plug us in?

Sandman

I need
the rise and fall
of your breath
to get to sleep
help me
all night
just to catch
my dreams
I lust for slumber
cast your dust
on me, friend
I need it
just to be
here
peacefully

I'll start with nothing again
Beg myself to begin
And I'll have to pretend
that this is not the end
Sandman he does, he knows
he knows all your dreams
but he does not know
of the universe inside your mind
the one that's in your bones
Was it written on your palms
to pick me up and put me down
Was it written in the stars
that this would be our very start?
Sandman he does, he knows
he knows all your dreams
but he does not know
of the universe inside your mind
that one that will unfold
I see constellations in your eyes
and they are so bold, there is something
behind them, something I already know
I abide by rules of three
Think destiny's your heart's decree
Now you tell me you tell me
what we could do differently
humor me!

Talk is Cheap
02:57
|
|
||
The lava is burning
through tiny holes
it drips from the ceiling
My palms are so sweaty
I am like the horny desert's wet dreams
You talk but your talk is cheap
You talk but your talk is cheap
Tossing, turning sheets are flirting
In the heat they wrap their arms around me
I want to float away in tow
In my dreams I climb under the parachute
You talk but your talk is cheap
You talk but your talk is cheap
Oh try to try to let it go
Try to try to let it go
Try to try to let it go
Try to try to let it go
My heart's beating, colors bleeding
But my guts are aware we know it's there
(Shut up)
You talk but your talk is cheap
You talk but your talk is cheap
Oh try to try to let it go
Try to try to let it go
Try to try to let it go
Gee - Oh - My - God
Gotta get get away
Oh Aye Double U A Why?
Because I said so
Gotta gotta get away
Gotta gotta get away

Teeth
02:45
|
|
||
This tiny tumbling crumb
left minimal residue
I raise an eyebrow
and bite my thumb at you
Chew it good
it left a bruise
Savor my tongue
cuz blood was my muse
Finally realized I don't need you
For what we are is what we will
I'm getting pretty for myself
Not you and no one else
A cavalcade of grain
may navigate squirrels
Shovel-nosed moles
burrow holes under this world
Tigers pose, monsters brood
Snarls and riddles
Somersaults will do
Light the path but watch your fingers
Seize the sacred lore, it lingers
on and on and on and on
Roll up this ball of thread
it is a cosmic knot for you
and lift a finger and now what to do?
Gather some steam, dust off your feet
Untangle this dreamscape
with your teeth

The Uncanny Valley

hours ago
I was a new breed
flesh painted
like skinned knees
All on my own
the future unfolds
I'm wide-eyed
like a baby
This time I finally got it figured out
I am a fairytale
I am so refined
I am made of glue
I am drawn of lines
I was a doe
in my last life
I was the hunted
scared of my own
shadow, not surprised
I've been waiting.
