bury the flock
we take stock
watch how i talk
tuck my cock
ripping wings off butterflies
ripping wings off butterflies
ripping wings off butterflies
ripping wings off butterflies
tracheal shave
cut my face
failing waves
know my place
ripping wings off butterflies
ripping wings off butterflies
ripping wings off butterflies
ripping wings off butterflies
we’re built from bricks and
fated quicksand
cracks from stones or
shave my bones for
safer beds but
keep the door shut
keep my sores red
they kill us all instead

baby, i am trinity
don’t you believe me?
baby, why don’t you trust me?
you know that you can leave
in truth when the night glows
i know, you’ll see
i am trinity
baby, how is your disease?
you know we aim to please
but as i fall through the trees
i know, you’ll hear me
i am trinity
baby, what is so funny?
well I suppose that it’s in threes
but the work that I do
i know, will save you
i am trinity
but my heart’s a draftee
i am trinity

clean my teeth with bubblegum
looking for the smoking gun
i’m choking on the wire
dirty dishes in the sink
always try to be succinct
sleeping in the fire,
all the sunflowers have died
contemplate the omnicide
there is nothing to decide
block the sun and stay inside
falling down ten thousand feet
followed by one million sheaths
willfully expire
reaching for the wilted grass
waiting for all quakes to pass
as medically required
all the sunflowers have died
contemplate the omnicide
there is nothing to decide
block the sun and stay inside

make me
run off the cliff in time
show me
just what it means to die
cut me
out of the camera’s view
give me
give me my moral due
pick me off a piece
how its all so sweet to
watch how it withers down
see the lover’s clock
ascertained to stop as
one makes its way around
it’s not like that anymore
i tell myself to ignore
feel the withered death
hold my breath feel it settle
into a room of crowns
how the sun has set
on a bed, on the steps, on
blood soaked wedding gowns
it’s not like that anymore
i tell myself to ignore
it’s all for you
it’s all for you

fall apart
day after day
dying art
tearing away
mythicized all pleasant dreams
future is too far from trees
cracking eggs to bitter ends
burning books for fuel to bend
human psyche wasn’t built for this
bonded to the bullets in my chest
broken spirits no one left
everything is conditional at best
i’ve never had a pleasant dream
and i hope that makes you happy
toss me out into the sea
nothing ever comes to be

loveless, tongue-tied
09:18

light shines through
feel the morning dew
threaded silk
drink the mare’s milk
passing the time here
look in the signs of losing days
passing the time here
drawing the lines to find a face
ritual death
pouring my breath out
bearing my chest
feeling the depth of
fractured timelines
pulled from
loveless, tongue-tied
inside out
sour blue
see the flowers bloom
thread my will
drink the mare’s milk
passing the time here
finding the time to pull away
passing the time here
drawing the lines to count the days
ritual death
pouring my breath out
bearing my chest
feeling the depth of
fractured timelines
pulled from
loveless, tongue-tied
inside out
i want more
i want more
echoes of eternity
nothings left but fallen seeds
i won’t die before you
i’m already dead to you
loveless, tongue-tied

in a thousand years

in a thousand years
will they dig up my bones?
to relieve my fears
i’ll carve my name into the marrow
in a thousand years
will we all survive
when the smoke is cleared
and all our gods have died?
in a thousand years
i’ll be dead and gone
in a thousand years
will they sing our song?
