**** the lights
Say goodbye
**** the lights
Say goodbye
We are nothing but fiction
A sacrificial supposition
But you don't understand
No you don't understand
A life of living in demands
I, a sacred book in a beggar's hands
**** the lights
**** the lights
We're drawing out the common end
A preamble to your life of wasted youth
Never knowing the end begins with you
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Break
Free
Save
Me
Figure 8 of 9 is just time intertwined against the definite nature of your infinity turned aside
Break
Free
Save
Me
I just wish it was this easy
To let the world know
How much this means to me
A heart bound to bones of my own creation but it won't show
So just go
**** the lights
**** the lights
**** the lights
Say goodbye
Say good night
Spenser Bennett Mar 2016
I see strangers all about me
You saw strangeness all around you
The light bends through new leaves
Don't blend true
All that's blue whispers
Dream on little Ms. Q

It's only a short trip
And you won't miss
The small kiss
Or the blood drip

Come on
Come on
Say what you will
Move in for the slow ****
Hold on
Hold on

I'm sorry it took this long
I'm blue in my dead lungs
And you buried your sharp tongue
Deep in the silent song

Dream on
Dream on
Little loved one
Supreme beauty, my dawn
Breathe; pause
Breathe; pause

She's aimless but she's right on target
Hits you right where the heart is
Cuz she's been around the world and back
She's blameless but she gives me heart attacks
Yeah yeah she's so Kerouac

Told me to take it all and go
Blaze a trail few would ever know
Well I lost my head instead on the edge of existence
I said, "Cut me some slack", and turned right back, she just stood there singin' "You're no Kerouac"

Walking on water wasn't built in a day
The life we're living is nothing but a daze
One mad dream is all it takes
To see that we are one with everything

Yeah, yeah, she's so Kerouac,
Ramblin through the world,
She's seen it all, the town and city
She's just a vagabond girl, spiritual monstrosity, like Neal Cassady, she gave her life to Jack

I was born to be a hero or nothin,
Knew my time was coming
To an end, I went away
In search of better days,
I stared at mountains for months and months, though they never changed, I couldn't stay the same. I am just matter bound by time and space, I saw the end of god, she took his place


Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're so Kerouac.
Pale cardiac rhythm, stood still
Frail insomniac prison, quietly shrill
Yeah, yeah, babe, you're so Kerouac

Silence is cold
Ice in this landscape we knew to be gold
And it's true that the sun sets
But I cannot forget how your words rolled
O'er teeth and through the lips that beset


Whispers of you remain in the wind
This burns of truth buried beneath skin
Snow melts and ice will run as rivers again
But your silence will chill me until the end
Spenser Bennett Mar 2016
Writhing in our fevered sleep.
Sickness twisting our once golden fleece. Losing sight of what it means to believe in this American dream.
Have we become the ******* sons of liberty?
How can we hope to be free from war when there's no peace?
Spenser Bennett Mar 2016
Life
Is
*******
Exhausting
Spenser Bennett Mar 2016
While you're counting syllables
I'm baring my silly soul
Eyes like ice or fire
but my dreaming mind is tired
Follow me to the fallen tree
And I'll show you just how to expire
Only lost will we ever be free
