all your thoughts
aspired to build a bridge and tear it down / but you watch every bolt go in / every peice of steel lay down

And Moth, And Gold
The moth is drawn to gold, / And in it, seizes terror / Sees heaven,

any day
any day now the old man will wake from his sleep and tell us all to "get the **** out!" / every hour there is atleast one second of every minute devoted entirely to hatred / no matter who you are or what you say

as if it counts
This one ripped a hole in space-time, and she took everyone she knew with her. they could watch her roll down a hill like a seven year old, and laugh. as if to say cognitive dissonance is natural. after a certain age, who can tell where hypnosis and knowing are different? the border wall between pain and joy is obliterated by the act of experience. this realization enacts itself as an addition to a conscious bias, in which we all take pride. / To say that you know beauty, is to say that you know the feelings of a brick wall. that is where the claws come in. they are ripping away at your loose lipped torso, and lusting over every solitary millisecond. like any good christian, muslim, jew, buddhist, agnostic, we wonder what these little fragments are. / Will this make me feel any better, any worse? if pouring your heart out was the name of the game, the suicides would be pope. so we must sit around. harness anger and use it to observe the things that oppose it. such as instant love, or hate. such as silhouetted and budding trees against a dark blue sky. such as died hair in the bright winter sun, the color of wine and crushed pills.

benefits ( mostly just fits)
swarms of little biting creatures at my ankles / smokey eye talent for your cover up / camoflauging your heart

she looked at me blankly / i only saw the floor / she said something softly

Blue Hour
You can feel a sight / at eight thirty on a summer night / air turns a deep blue
