You might think you’re blinded by pain just because the doors shut they don’t have to stay that way You’re not makin’ fool of yourself You’re just sayin’ that forever is a harsh feelin’ To be called By our portmanteau Is to belong To your empathos The closer you get to anything It gets bigger and the outside cosmos pushed away If I took a Magnifying Glass Shoot the sun ray super concentrated certain death I tip your hourglass around watch the sand slip and the castle we built fall right down To be called By our portmanteau Is to belong To your empathos

mourning stay at home that’s the past I know people get their sadnesses to go Call in sick from bed have a fit for show they can see your every move just go NSA spying every day hearing everything I say where is the black tape? Opaque bond over the camera, always on Scrolling down my neck Vertebrae digest They project onto plain text/cut cords Data to a T Filed away on me They recommend the things that I should see NSA spying every day hearing everything I say where is the black tape? Opaque bond over the camera, always on

A billion cells fit in my thumb, in seven years my body re-becomes. A million earths fit in the sun so I can't believe in only-ones. A trillion times a trillion and one, is in infinitely less than infinite and one A million earths fit in the sun so I can't believe in only-ones.

One Lifetime 04:07
I want my skin to tear easy like my granddad’s did pulling weeds on his knees refilling the seeds all the birds can come and feed solving crosswords while I eat peacefully each morning take my memories, just scraps in a book, drown them in the water on my brain. Like my grandmother waits to go home every day wanting for her legs to take Her home again Keep my fingers strong like you did for her played the piano ever-freely on the day that she died A hundred years will fly right by Silent films and owls at night one lifetime
5.
Creature of habit Tatted and rabid Patterns printed in leaflets Briefly scattered A notice needed Neatly folded Two weeks in advance of Disrupted re-done-did Goodbye buzz cola Nail biting no more Sins of another feather Hot earth's core Does the end have an end, A Question posed of hell, If my day gets done to plan Then certainly it does Wake up to walk in With something in my hands Ritual of my Earth It’s Mother's Day again
6.
When the time come take me Please don't let me live forever I don't wanna live forever This body wasn't made To be in the cloud End of life don't shake me all them Kilobytes don't make me Zipped up gigabytes can’t fake me Don't upload my consciousness Into the cloud Burn me into the ground Turn into a tree fall time come around the crunch you hear is me When the time come tuck me in go on let me sleep forever All of my beliefs be severed there must be a way to live beyond a Doubt Now I be confessing Every time we learn a lesson Every time we feel regression we get farther from the world beyond a Doubt
7.
Be nice to yourself when you’ve got no one else to hear. Airin' out my worries best I can Blowin’ smoke rings anger second hand What is there to worry about when you’re near Present nature of a presence oh so dear Never Fear
