Salty sins
Slip off my skin
Baptized, I begin again
Bad twin
Mannequin
Swivel slip
Shenanigans
Overflowing
Keep it going
Forward rowing
Breathe and blowing
Appetites
Only growing
Moment, posing
Where were going
Future folding
Forming, molding
Hyper-culture overdosing
Ultra dramatic
Super classic
Dandelions
Made of plastic
Laugh it off
Spastic elastic
Bounce and blast off
Erratic romantic
Snakes surround me
Blinking, sinking
Echos sounding
Stinking thinking
Cost compounding
So astounding
Fountain spouting,
Auto-routing
Into the black
Death reflection
Sudsy and soaked
My bent religion
Watch me
Drowning
In fickle hearts
Pounding loudly
Im slip, spin, splitting
Program imprinting
Filling, skimming, stripping, spilling
Crypticly petrified
Sedated and sterilized
Softly by your side
Utilized
Crystallized in my disguise

You and I
Parallel lines
Easy to define
Till you passed me by
I’m fragile to the core
Always needing more
Done my best to protect you
You left no clues
Even from here, icy clear
Nothing comes close
Not even near
Searching for a way to replace the space,
you left and it stayed,
when you went away

The love we fight for, the love we lack
The heights we soar for a heart attack
To look at you while you’re looking away
Suddenly sends me rolling in flames
I see where I’m going, what would’ve became
I forget myself, forget my name

My favorite kind of numb
The mess that you made true
My one and only prayer
No getting over you

I want to taste your mind
When you’re tongue tied
I want to be the one you want to be beside
Dig deeper down in the slime and the grime
Moonlight’ll be our guide
To climb up to great heights
Color out of the lines
You’re my gold mine
Serpentine

Through the lenses of my mind
Frequently a shadow I’ll find
A quiver of some stirring air
A knot formed folorn in my very hair
A constellation that once untaught
Leeds me deep in a forest of thoughts
Where ghosts drone on and on and on
About lovers once come and gone
But I don’t mind, I say, I try
I can feel I’m reeling still from days so hot and dry
Scorched my feet, melted my eyes
Hot air mirages sat in the sky
There I spent plenty of time
To know not whine over what I’ll never find
Wander along all the dotted lines
You take yours and I’ll take mine

Perform
In the storm
Deformed
Eyes cold but slithers so warm
Lukewarm, transform

Put on them all
Fly off as I fall
The ape, the plain Jane, the prism, the cage
I’ll wait while you contemplate

Ate up all they gave me
So I was numb when they replaced me
Rearrange me, I feel naked
Thinking of you, memories faded

Ritual abuse
Masking my view
Pucker up and face the truth
Shrug it off and see right through
