Get into your seat, writer,
Find your home inside the ink,
Construct the walls out of paper,
Your desk out of pencils,
And your pipes out of hollowed pens.

I know you fell for the feeling,
But it's easy to get lost in it all,
If you walked away now,
I know you'd go insane.

Upon your mirrors there's words,
Reflections that spell your introspection,
Flip it around cause it's too much noise,
Cause, writer, the sound is burdening you.

I know you fell for the feeling,
But it's easy to get lost with it all,
Crashing down on your thin walls,
I know you're going insane.

Your bones got colder and your blood got thinner
I see you've been cut so you're sure to bleed out,
All the while your eyes are dimmer,
and you are so much slimmer,
You don't have a lot of time until your light goes out.

You beg, "hush now",
Silence from the crowd,
You're wondering how,
You'll take your final bow.

You’re dragging behind
Dragging behind,
Your kids left you behind,
Slagging behind

Maybe if you were more kind,
The eldest wouldn't have left you behind,
Maybe if you gave him peace of mind,
The middle wouldn't have left you behind,
Maybe if you never commented on her outline,
The youngest wouldn't have left you behind.

You’re dragging behind
Dragging behind,
Your kids left you behind,
Slacking behind as you whine.

In time,
I know that you will find,
Karma loves to feast on the rind,
Of those who are purposefully purblind.

Sunrise is my best friend,
When I’m up till 4am,
Kindly trying to pretend,
I chose her to defend,
But in the end,
Solar flares can’t amend.

Bury my feet in wires,
Spray my hands with fire,
I’ll take the smoke higher,
Blame the flames, I’m not a crier.

I welcome the sunlight in,
It’ll brush against my chin,
Pulling my lips into a grin,
She knows when I’ll begin,
To start a riot with my kin,
But then again,
I will never win.

Bury my feet in wires,
Spray my hands with fire,
I’ll take the smoke higher,
Blame the flames, I’m not a crier.

Don’t you go,
I can’t bare to be alone,
In the evening I’m more prone,
To leave the house and roam,
On the streets, I hear his tone,
The moon knows I’m getting cold,
He’s urging to head on home,
No I won’t
No I won’t
No I won’t

The ramifications tear my guts apart,

All our guts apart,

This is our guts being pulled apart,

for the children,

The ramifications for the trans,

for the enby,

The ramifications for the women,

for anyone.

How many will die in just a week?

Send around the violent mend,
On the precipice of a bend,
A ****** that sees no end,
From a tired decrepit friend.

Eroded bones of gold,
As we dig into the fold,
"Use your words" I was told,
Words don't work on black mold.

Get your ***** hands off of us,
Shove your prehistoric lips into the floor,
Rug burn up your paper thin skin,
Splintered your hollow bones.

Those two got a track record,
Here's to the brandy drunk uncles,
hooded back street lurkers,
and the bar top companions who go by one rule, "you snooze, you loose."

Thoughts and prayers, I love the savior,
Mister Joe, you've got our back,
Tell me what you have up your sleeve,
Next it'll be just an 'abracadabra' away.
