Naming Colors

Lecture conjecture
Cover me in texture
My time’s gone flat but I’ll shape up next year
My lung’s are full of flat notes and carcinogens
Mouth full of french fries and what could-have-beens
Saw a leaf on the ground, I thought it was a bullet
Cuz that redneck proved we shot right through
The ozone don’t work no Pro bono
Culture fades with the radio waves
Those sermons of static can’t be saved
So I seek for what’s next
Tune in, perplexed
I confess, nothing makes sense
I'm fighting currents
Diving into deterrents
Rest insured
Bereft of assurance
Lets meet up in the artifice
Fuck this
Cuz I’m dying to escape all these amendments
Give me a break
Loose tooth snapping off my last nerve
Release
Take hold of the leash
Erase the art
Claim a cage
A rotten start to this anonymous age
Where I’m covered in glue
I'm naming colors and I wonder which one matters to you
Is it the black or the green hues
The reds, the whites, or the 12 bar blues?
It’s all lost somewhere over the rainbow
Can I show you how good I can pay the bills?
I got a cave loan, a dumb phone, Nalaxone
And it’s all in my will
Its headed straight to the land fill
Gonna make the algorithms work for me
You’ll see
It’ll pop up in your feed
You’re all more into brands than bands
I’m just worth my weight in Adavan
Fell for fake news while standing for reason
Loosing touch and I found that I’m feeling
I’ve worked so hard at building this callous
Im numb to the pain and the rain and the malice
Just another screw that’s bound and needs turned
Now I may not have said it, it’s all been inferred
That I lost the point

No Views

Litmus test on my best guess
Give warning
I’m nothing at all
Dots per inch tall
Render failed on a chemical trail this morning
And it’s lost to a cloud
What’s up went down
Nursing baby
Let them all see
It outlast me
Get to bed
There’s a better time
It’s just ahead
It’s all content
Written in space
A missing link to the page of the dawning
Let’s skip “How are you”
I know what you’ve been up to
Come on, stay new
No views
You
Shine through
Never Now News
Forever you

Detail Report

Measured space
In between disgrace
Everybody needs to get the hell out of my face
Steady fuel
Quality Assurance tools
Everybody needs
Everyone’s got a mouth full
Everybody needs
Cross state lines
Wonder where my boundaries lie
Everybody leaves
Not everyone wonders why
Data’s dense
How could it make sense
Everybody needs
Everybody's got two cents
Everybody needs
Fully integrated
Service absolute
Micro-inertia
Endless exponent
Setting sail on untold tales
The past dies and the future wails “I’m gone”
You’re right here while I’m not there
I’m courageous enough to fear I’m gone
The science of common sense
Like sniffing out impermanence
We’re gone
Masked in the breeze of a stray curveball
That twitches the spark parked in a stall
It’s all slanted
How enchanted
Shopping for cranes that can hoist this frown
Help me get up, help me to get down
All nerve and less word

While It Happens
04:23
|

False walls and trap doors I’ve been setting my sights for have just become an eyesore
It’s a bore
But I don’t mind
Dodging potholes in a fox hole
While crooks and sleepers look for assholes they can control
Advance war
King’s lore
New place
Make space
Moon faced chums jawing their own taste of fun
Mind if I try
Cuz I don’t mind
Wrangling signals like I’m Elmer Fudd
Filled up on Windex and coyote’s blood
But I don’t mind
It’s fine
Cuz I’m
Elusively confined
In space and time
Simultaneous spontaneous
A calculated risk
And I can’t take much more of this
Dragon’s hiss and the butterfly’s kiss coming at me
To kill my vanity
Stiff hands
Balled up shoulders
Trying to get a do-over
While it happens I’m guessing that we’ll miss it
Moments turn into memories
Seconds linger eternally
While it happens I’m guessing that i’ll miss it

Swinging On The Floor
03:07

You can take it
I don’t need it
It’s all for giving
Bless my heart and kiss my soul to bed
Send me off like you would the dead
Like a kicked in head
Sized up and tailored
Beautiful failure
Loaded pistols, bells and whistles shine
Waiting to get a grip
Where’s the target
When you’re not 6 anymore
Rolling in dead leaves
You’re busy fixing a door
Pushing at the breeze
Can you shout “Heads up” when the bottoms out
I’ll come down from swinging on the floor
Best is all and all’s a guess and all that
Do you feel like you could get behind that?
Cuz the rest that I got is gone
You’re not 6 anymore
Rolling in dead leaves
You’re busy fixing a door
Pushing at the breeze
Can you shout “Heads up” when the bottom’s out
I miss “now” while swinging on the floor

Curtains!
05:31
|

I’m asleep in these curtains
In the weight that brings down the house
Cuz I can burn bright
If you got a light
The haze of smoke’s been fading by degrees
And I’m tracing constellations on these scars and memories
If i could just spell it
In red velvet
And you felt it
“Perhaps” and “What-if” could get lost
Drift off like concrete dust
In a gust of gusto and bravado
Do you know I know you don’t think so
Shake and tremble
Muses remove me
Til I’m disassembled
And moving’s amusing
Like a radio commercial
Sings the death of jingle
Lazy river
Take my shivers
Beat me tender
You know better
I’m not a contender
I’m just a boy
At the mercy of dreams and infinite doorways
Illusions of meaning just keep pulling me
This way
Or that way
But anyway
I’ll show you the end
Chagrin to the wind
Joy the void
That’s enough
Love lost
Hate escaped
And that’s it
And that’s it

Head to hand
Oh process
Working at progress
I’ve gone coping, numb, and scowling
Mechanics
Curbing my frantics
Posted up on the 110
Oh yeah, how’ve you been
I’ve been the definite
The ground’s right here
Watch me break it
It’s just head to hand
Oh useless
These feelings are fuseless
Show me your power
I’ll put in the hours
While taking it to chance
Until forever
Now and never
I think that it’s a plan
Just gotta think of a way to get it
Gotta think of a way to do it
Yeah think of a way
Head to hand
Holing up
Don’t touch my stuff
Swallowed up
Waiting for watershed
Crawl inside
Heavy skies
Counting time until the moment
Let me show you my numbers
I think that it’s a plan
I gotta think of a way to see it
(Doll me up sincere)
I gotta think of a way to mean it
(Doll me up no fear)
Yeah think of a way to live it
(Doll me up, my Dear)
(Doll me up)
Crawling out
Of thunderclouds
Who cares right now?
This is the moment
Lifting up
I’ll tell you what
If this is up then don’t remind me
If this is up
Don’t remind me
Don’t remind me
Get behind me
Don’t remind me
That’s not fair
Can I not care
What’s it matter
Cuz it’s always now
Never not around
Take the time to leave some space
It’s been
Shining
This whole time you’ve been out

Devotedly
05:15
|

Here it comes
Watch it closely
It’s begun
It moves slowly
Devotedly
‘Round the sun
Around memory
Circles back
Indefinitely
Devotedly
Lock the door
Hide beloved
Life to covet
Don’t think of it
Bellowed plea
Life amended
Have mercy
Fear befriended
Still it comes
Haunting vaguely
Devotedly
A gospel of lies
Profanity prophets
Shiny and caustic
Lost in the litany
Infinitely
A scripture to kill
Contracts of carnage all written in garbage
Safe in instants
Lost in the distance
So look in my eyes
Tell me it’s OK
Tell me we’re OK
Kiss me dearly
The end is nearly
