Woke up at 4pm today and remembered I have no dreams that have flown beyond the cage, and past the cage there's still a burning coal mine. Ten foot sunflower standing out back trying to be a beacon in the night, like a blind leader for the dead; sending them down that river, paper boats across a sea of lies, and there is no right direction. Once you set foot here you are lost permanently. No one knows if it even had a beginning, or if it'll ever have an end. Woke up late with a ten-foot sunflower at the foot of my bed, harvesting canaries.

"Ten-Foot Sunflower."
Woke up at 4pm today and remembered I have no dreams that have flown beyond the cage, and past the cage there's still a burning coal mine. Ten foot sunflower standing out back trying to be a beacon in the night, like a blind leader for the dead; sending them down that river, paper boats across a sea of lies, and there is no right direction. Once you set foot here you are lost permanently. No one knows if it even had a beginning, or if it'll ever have an end. Woke up late with a ten-foot sunflower at the foot of my bed, harvesting canaries.
