Epigenesis 08:51
Where the tree line meets the sky, we fall Must keep my composure small, not at all The hues are true as I dissect my faults Conversing to the whispers that are light The ones the others neglect Ones that grab onto the wind and illuminate from within You are the symmetry I see fit Wind grabs your symmetry and I love you for this The sound of the earth under me slowly vibrating and stimulating The children wince from pain and cry I am in a place where the tree line meets the sky Spin me around, sit back down I have found, only dark sounds Where we go, float oh no skin to skin, beautiful sin Figure out, what’s this about? Water gone, destroyed lungs Unbalanced thoughts, in love with love Awake to see, the dripping me Plant a seed, harmonious empathy Motionless eyes wince and cry Sinking dreams, illuminate me From earth we came, then we dissipate Change my mind, all the time Evolving all the time, what's wrong is right It’s my mind, changing all the time It’s my mind, stimulating lies

Burgundy 06:41
Head on chest is where I lay Your glossy eyes see right through me and my thoughts And I can't help but feel like this Glide upon your angel wings I graze your lips of burgundy and I float And I can't help but feel like this Cold fingertips dance across your hips And we won't make a sound Stay here longer For a little while Massage your kiss, moist from spit The best you do, composed so true Don’t you speak, heavy breathing Let your mind fluctuate, gorgeous rouge I'm dizzy now, I can't see straight These hearts align in separate state and we know I can't help but feel like this Lace our hands so gracefully Eyes locked for eternity and we fall I can't help but feel like this Cold fingertips dance across your hips And we won't make a sound Stay here longer For a little while Massage your kiss, moist from spit The best you do, composed so true Don’t you speak, heavy breathing Let your mind fluctuate, gorgeous rouge

Diatom 09:51
They suffered, In a beautiful language Not in monosyllables, As we did So don't tell them what you found out The mistaken sting of a bee Suffering while you breed Give and take along the seas Following only what keeps alive As nature sizzles and sighs Roam around like field mice Write a book give into lies I don't belong to the spectrum of sleep Just lost in it because I'm a human being I don't belong to this field of green Just lost in it because nature gave birth to me I don't belong in the sky blue sea Just traveling it because man confused survival and greed I don't belong in the endless expanding infinity Just alone so I need to spread out my energy Your beauty will build you But I desire you Only love Will call you home As I laid back and sank Into depths unfathomed I finally knew The vibrant colors flew over me As my memory flipped into eternity

I'm trying to feel again, but its harder then I thought No its harder when you're not taught I long to engage, but I'm poor with words Meaningless adjectives and verbs I'm finding it hard to communicate No one knows what I'm saying, no one knows I'm sane Could you verify my brian? Are these new thoughts or just memories? What is it to be? Is it just me? My metaphysical postion concludes I am all there be I'm trying to cleanse my mind I'm carrying on so, Solipsistically

I miss the warmth of the sun and grazing through meadows of imagination. Awake to see dusk and pastures until dawn. What merit we obtained in love with reminiscing thoughts? It’s death, it’s pain, sick and starved, but still remain This derived from hope and being sane Outside I laugh, inside still vain I just am and there is nothing in truth Illusion and fallacy is my dear truth I look at the world through rose colored glasses I don’t belong to this ever expanding infinite I’m just lost in it so I need to spread out my energy

Pine 05:14
The voices turn to echoes And bounce upon opposed walls Like our feet on hardwood floors And the bass fills the air With a hot and heavy flare With the timid forced from their holes And the cut is just right With drinks free all night No one wants to sleep in their own beds Enter the unknown house Filled with strangers and smoke clouds Attempting to leave our heads So we search the city for satisfaction and action With our feet clenched tight to the ground The only time we're free of dirt Is when I'm cold, idle and sober in my home with no one around So the beat holds us captive And feeds us like we're addicts We're just biding our time until the weekend Just coastin through our daily lives Until we become the vampires at night Waiting to suck down another glass of poison So come fill my cup Bury me inside the buzz I'm not leaving until I black out Some candy for my nose or some smoke I can blow I'm just as fucked up alone As I am, inside, of this crowd So we search the city for satisfaction and action With our feet clenched tight to the ground The only time we're free of dirt Is when I'm cold, idle and sober in my home with no one around So we search the city for satisfaction and action Yeah, I feel like I'm walking on a cloud I'm one with the sky staying high to stay alive I'm always stuck in my head and I'm just trying to find my way out
7.
Gather all the kids Let’s speak about it We're too scared to put forward our names Wolves in sheep clothes, aware all about it Let their heads hang in shame Cause you won't find me in light Ignore the sign that's right here Believe in words that don't align You can't take my mind Where do you think we're going? We're all to be cast aside Left here to rust away Burn these cities down Time to start these new lives Who's gonna be the spark to flame? Cause you won't find me in light Ignore the sign that's right here Believe in words that don't align You can't take my mind I saw them coming for me I saw them coming for my brain I saw my life flash before my eyes I saw them take control of my mind Cause you won't find me in light Ignore the sign that's right here Believe in words that don't align You can't take my mind Cause you won't find me in light Ignore the sign that's right here Believe in words that don't align You can't take my mind

Sonorous 04:41
What a great gift to be given Not to be seen, but experienced All around you, it's all reflections Invisible, still ever present If you could see what's really happening You'd be laughing, you'd be gasping All that is at work, keeps you from collapsing All that is at work, keeps you for everlasting
9.
You will float down the river of life Always learning something new We are tangled in each other Where I have finally found truth You are the wildflower soul I yearn to have, yearn to hold How ravishing, lavishing, and satisfying These cataclysmic cries go untold I have this empathy while you tear You are the melody the soul yearns to hear I am ceaselessly dreaming of you Like pollination, it’s beautiful and true Dreaming in sequence with you, but in reality without you Pushing away the sadness, into depths unfathomed Creating the lilies the frogs love to lay upon Arise in sadness, in every day’s dawn You are the wildflower soul I yearn to have, yearn to hold How ravishing, lavishing, and satisfying These cataclysmic cries go untold I have this empathy while you tear You are the melody the soul yearns to hear I am ceaselessly dreaming of you Like pollination, it’s beautiful and true So divine, lay yourself out So divine, I'm so inclined So divine, hold on to my memory So divine, float along the harmonious seas So divine, swing the swings of your childhood dreams So divine, how serendipitous you are to me I weave in this labyrinth we call imagination Attempting to make anything fit The puzzle I call affection spills into my grip This plethora of love, is within you Weaving around on these escapades Growing old and still singing songs The beauty that grazes your soul From the summer nights we met is still strong Oh my, I am so enthralled You are old now, but still true I found a reason And the reason dear, is you

The simple smile I will imbue Through the green pastures All the broken pieces lay in regret Broken soul looks for adhesives instead Taking anything they can grab Grab onto the wind, aimlessly glide On shameless, unwanted increments Seagulls gnaw at me once again We then construct and erect up Lives upon the sand When the structure emerges with symmetry It spins, crumbles, and we write letters to death I have sank into this symmetrical spiral Oh how I dread With no hope, no help, no love Just this inure bed From the earth I came, to the earth I will dissipate Bleeding into the fields and this is how the fields turn Red The day will arise when I awake next to you and touch your lips We will reduce to fine particles and our bodies will transpose As I look into your graceful sapphire eyes I am in a place of tranquility, the honey! You see serenity is within in me I am at peace knowing we just are Chrysanthemums snow from time to time As a reminder that we'll all participate to meet the grave I just am, from the earth I came. We just are, to the earth we will dissipate. It’s changing and I don't know why My thoughts are monstrous, so I write Cold and empty and still I try Transcendence is in my sight Souls are loitering in this tilted sky Nostalgic gets lost from left to right What nuance from evolving cries My Metamorphic Mind
