Sit at home and grow slime Wash my hands just to **** time When the space invaders come Don’t think I’m out of line I don’t answer my phone I don’t have a spine You don’t gotta tell me It’s the same old rap Go outside I’d rather take a nap Yeah yeah yeah It’s the same old thing Hang with them? I’d rather do my own thing I got a secret Just ask (I’m not crazy) I (just) cast spells with seashells and spirits (Don’t think I’m out of touch) One day that **** will hit And I won’t hear it You don’t gotta tell me twice I’ve heard it before Read the signs Leave packages at the door Ok ok ok I’ll see what I can do But I’m not coming out If I’m not in the mood

Go Outside
Got a great view out dollar store glasses, 2 bottles in the jacket front pocket, one filled with water from the creek, the other half full of fresh saffron dandelion tea, keeping the stash box neat and clean, right under the nose dollar bill to quarters, feel at home with a castle and a queen surrounded by brick hoarders, made of arcade architecture built from the outside in, eyes of aged plexiglass, A and B buttons mashed and cracked melted and molded back to skin, around Mario’s I-beams turned to an animated skeleton, heartbeats like ‘beep beeps’, brain like a 256 Pac-Man **** screen, sick with the down-left-back combo spin kick, used a neat rubber band trick, high score, top out the leaderboard, then dipped, 1up for the two dead creps, holes through the soles and nothing up the sleeves but two fingers up to the fashion police, three letters on top followed numbers that cause shock, got a great view out dollar store glasses, and always have quarters when the arcade kid passes

Arcade kid
Kid grows up tricky Drinking poison ink from the nib But don’t blame the pen blame the kid Never had anyone to break **** with Anger worn on his sleeves bunched and twirled “I H8 U” and **** The World” So he found a way to show his need for it Changed his mind about loneliness Anything he can do to fit in Goes from sharpie sXe on his hand To wanting to smoke **** with the band in the back of the van Never quite made it out of his head Always felt like it got out of hand

Poison ink
I collected flowers in the sun when I was a kid Just to watch ‘em die like a grinch Now I find my way around in the dark Run into childhood plants that have grown thorned bark Wilting petals turn to shredded fingers That pain lingers Try to keep it out of a vase to stay alive From fresh water To no GMOs or pesticides I feed my roots like the package suggests Stem to leaves and **** the rest Keep it natural regarding pest control The best soul soil sold, owned Moisture in the fold Sun and shade The fruits are gold

Soul soil
When the toxins took a stand Leaving no man Making plans To make plans Infiltrate morning when I wipe my eye See the flowers clearly On their blurred out ****** cry Infection in the air Wait, let me make a plan Bandolier of alcohol sanitizer, masks and soup in a can No no no We can do better Let’s make a plan That stomach ache anxiety can’t disband Pick everything that grows from the sand Let’s make a plan To bring food, a tent and artificial light Tie the fire to a rope to a stick to a protection circle torchlight Makeshift night spirit bout When the sand runs out We got a lot more salt Keep it on the lowdown Let’s make a plan No it’s not a cult

It’s not a cult
Hey now baby I’ve got nothing to say And even if I did Would it ever make you stay I’ve been running on empty You’ve been hanging on luck Waiting for the bottom to fall out Just to get unstuck You’ve climbed up To the top of the hill But I’m parked at the bottom Snorting blood and pills No matter how much you try You’ll never drag me up So let me lay in the dirt While you play in the sky Seeing that hope Makes me so mad I know it’s sick That’s why it hurts so bad Let me explore the dirt Because I can’t take Exploring your eyes

Bottom of the hill
I’m alone but not By myself The ghosts followed me home To the wind I thought Were whispering trees Truly whispered to me So the ghosts stay Usually in the corners Out of the lights So I keep the lights low Usually with scarves Covering the lampshade I don’t want them to feel unwelcome In their own home

Tag along ghost
maybe youre in the sky or maybe youre in the dust but wherever youll be you always have my love I saw you shaking laying there I put my head on you and whisper in your ear But at this point I just hope You know Im there in a flash I have you With your head in my hands on a doctor office bench shaking, confused, dizzy, scared, tense not knowing where you are and i cant comprehend then i felt your neck relax i knew what it meant no turning back what should have been relief was a panic attack and the stethoscope said i will never get you back i love you; im so sorry fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck if this is for the best do it to me too

no. if this is for the best do it to me too
I have no one to play too So I'll sing to the moon   She comes out slowly   But has a smile When the clock shows opposite noon   I know she can't stay It's like a cruelty Fades away slow   Almost like she's mocking me   Before time to think   Got sun in my eyes   Know this feeling well   Time to close the blinds   Look up numbers on a list I keep   All disconnected,  busy or " answer after the beep "   With nothing to say Can't get to sleep And a need to speak   Let's see what I can get in Before the second beep   Half way between silence and cacophony   Empty my mind into a machine   Set for automatic delete And that's the last they would've heard from me   Cause I have no one to play too So I'll sing to the moon I better start now   She'll be gone again soon

Good luck to all and everyone here Because reaching for the stars was never quite clear No title or description, just a three word mission More like a word of advice "Don't get hurt" and watch yourself slide Everything I got show over your head Going to look for it may render you dead So just keep right there sitting With that blank look on your face Like someone somewhere will help You finish the race And all I can say is God speed And God bless and watch out for that hallow design When you tread with heavy feet, Mind the signs "Watch your step" "thin ice" "There's a bump in the road" All put up to help you get where you need to go But those thoughts weigh more Then you were expecting to believe And you'll never make up the ground You don't even have a place to stand No little place to call your own No place to warm your feet Or lift you off of the street Or give you a pause to call it home Just a "Do me one better" and a "forgive her or forget her" Or a cross over the heart and A promise from the blind That you'll get your wits back in due time And keep the things the way they aught to be This status quo **** so quickly taught to me, Talking too fast to have time to disagree So I'll just stay here with the ink left in my pen Let it bleed out with the stories that it wants to send I'll open up- Read the lines behind the black, poured out like that. Because I'm manic in a moment A loose cannon you might say One brick shy and two minutes too late Tastelessly obsessed with a new kind of mess Tangled up, twisted and lost in total direst Blank minded thoughts and directionless flaunts Point me the way back to the west New aged grooves are the next big thing Too poor-a boy to buy my baby a diamond ring So I'll just sit here to pass the time Write my stories to explain the rhyme The situation to fill up my gut with complication A matter of patience, prefaced with- I do not possess A position of authority dealt to me with a weighted deck The house rules say I'm no winner today Let me know my place When they empty my pockets with gestures of graciousness Leave me empty handed, empty headed Empty belly and empty soul Urging to come back for the next roll A heart filled with a new world consciousness Sinking my drinks for a two minute connection Lucky as a new star in the sky I'll keep my distance as I watch you shine From so far away it only seems OK When I couldn't make out the blood stain In the corner of your eye That for so long you stumbled upon a new kind of credit Relax and you'll forget it So you keep it tense, And full of drama Backing it up and keep it caught Loosen your grip and it will slip From the corner it is barred in Trapped, Backed to the point, inverted totalerian Sub terrain, below the grid where we once played the game There are a thousand little things All mixed together One on top of one on top of one on top of the other Belief in God Hate for your father Knowledge of love Talking to your brother Failed business plans Failed to your mother Finishes gone aerie And deprivation of air Going belly up Digging threw the junk That made your life something, Or more then a nameless lump
