It's not like you knew what you were getting into It's not like I drew a map to me, simple lines, certain actualities like, Oh geez, I do lots of drugs. Oh geez -- and I love it. Oh geez, I rent so I can keep the better part of me. As I've seen, city is no necessity. But why not do so in good humor til I fold? Until I fold. Until I fold.

Bright Beam, Sunny| Tabletop
So, this is godhood. This is how it works. It's dreaming up a world and killing it, Abandoning the foibles and the quirks Of crushed-together crumblings and bits, Then sweeping out the wreckage with a curse And carving out another fever dream. It's wandering a mindscape universe And sifting through the crop to find the cream So you can save it while you burn the rest, Just for the room to have another try. The lovelies you've been cradling close to chest? In time you'll cast them off to wilt and die But for a while they're almost what you need. Go raze the field and plant another seed.
