we’re broke, not broke-in, no way to cope in the moment
toes-in, feet first, sky diving three-thirds, try to see where they sewed in
sea-sick, so I spit the ocean, try to make wits out of blown devotions
both us kids, spoke flows in motion, just on the cusp on the coast, I’m open
to feature the plug, walls full of bullshit, some of ‘em doves, wonder where the hope went
some of ‘em rust, just parts for the 'pocus, out of my buzz, no rush, or the thunder for the focus
flush, I’m rolling in omens, want to be loved, or be known for the poems,
but father above, just holding cajones, I gotta do something, and god I must own it
ominous, don’t it, just sound like its coded, but honesty’s on us, the comets are coming
the comedy in it, the tragic is commonly imaged, they’re stuffing the rabbits and cynics
a camel, just smoking with Samael, it’s finished, damn all the stoking, the fire’s a gimmick
a camera, the lens in a focus, an image, jam in a sandwich, a fan of just choking to finite
I need a word that means nothing, feel the urge to discuss it,
Got this thirst for the crushing, never learned how to love myself,
Concerned with just touching, got this bird, learned to function
Got this turned in my compass, never learned how to love myself
All I could be, carve it with a guillotine, started with a dream in the stutter, but it isn't me
Bars are butter on the beat, be my, lover on the beach, each a piece of I
Ease in, flutter on the pride, no fly, got a brother with a love, bout to feast some eyes
We surmise, lost seasons, never needed those to free your mind,
couple up, repeating, botching prose that boasts of feeling fine,
keeping me alone, this ceiling ceases to be sieving sides,
Treat you out your demons, I foreseen this scene, it's exorcised
sleep inside my grievance, I perceive this as assessing mine
These breaches are defeatist, never need us to just heed the lies,
treat me like the penis, I'd machine it so you need it's size,
keen on it's achievements, knocking keys, not one to read the signs,
I redefine the meaning, meaning I've been leaving genes aside
I need a word that means nothing, feel the urge to discuss it,
Got this thirst for the crushing, never learned how to love myself,
Concerned with just touching, got this bird, learned to function
Got this turned in my compass, never learned how to love myself
Schooled by God or his image, got a guy, just met my fifth, for a minute,
Never thought I'd leave, till I left the prism, never rest my feet, never catch me in it
Had enough of these husks, to put a host up in it, hustle on a cusp, some'll try to fill infinite
Brushing off the rust, do the stroke to fit the image, used to what I was, I brought a coat, hook the kinship
Coffin or friendship, I'm new to these riches, holding my pension, no dough nor the bitches
Quote an ascension, I've risen what this is, more than just pensive, I'm penning a mission
Coping with senses, I'm lonely, that's fitting, open the sentence with hope, a decision
Offer the tin, get nauseous, I pause on epiphanies, soak in the coffers I'm given
Go in the box, be a man with a vision, choking on not, negativity 'diffing
Sheep sitting opposite, see what I'm missing, speech is like Socrates, owning the kitchen
Only achieve when the secret is out of me, holding receipts, let me leave, win a lottery
Older than me, so we treat it like pottery, give it a seat, I can see where this ought to be different
I need a word that means nothing, feel the urge to discuss it,
Got this thirst for the crushing, never learned how to love myself,
Concerned with just touching, got this bird, learned to function
Got this turned in my compass, never learned how to love myself
