and you don't hear me because it's spherical
totally blind to all of the miracles
science explains away
distracted by the tragedies
they keep repeating on our t.v. screens
you know very well my friends
that you can't talk about, or think about
anything that we'll disagree about
it's getting worse here day by day
our tongues are tied
our beds are made
our cornerstone has been laid
let me swing my sword again
and we're disgusting
and we're perverted
and we're bored
and fucking proud of it
our ancestors are rolling in their graves
but we don't care these days
confusion causes pain
we live our lives in vain
one day we'll look back on this
and see the things we missed
the hypocrisy and jealousy
exploitations, insecurities
has us bickering with friends
and we keep gossiping not blossoming
and we jostling and posturing
just to try to get ahead
but it's all spiritual
not physical
you find an enemy unaware of
silent weapons for quiet wars

he's the burnout from down the street
he smells of weed and nicotine
he asks for all of my spare change
in all of these silly ways
when he finally goes to sleep
he can never really dream
he's out on disability
collecting social security
but the pills they prescribe
no longer get him high
his sweatpants drag along behind him
as he dances on the lawns through all of the landscaped driveways
the houses are all sideways
so they can fit in this place and not take up much space

Rosebuds in the toilet
Our loves a perfect portrait
Even after rigor mortis
Holding hands when we're corpses
I know I'll always love you
Even as the worms eat through our flesh
As we turn to dirt
And return to the mother earth
because we are only here today
a flash of light that dissipates
transformation is just a change of state
because we are only here today
Let's take our time and really be here
Deep breaths to keep our minds clear
Open hearts to not live in fear
As our days quickly turn to years
You are so important
I've sat with you often
So proud to call you my best friend

the maze within is wonderful
but like a drug it's not refundable
you didn't find it
you didn't like it
it's just bad timing
don't wanna fight it
you just go with the flow
because you never know
you fall to pieces all over the floor
you expose parts of you when you're bored
that you should really figure out
before you tell the world you're down and out
tell them your secrets
make sure they're you're deepest
because you're as open as a book
and tell them you're happy
and show them what's happening
every waking hour of your dull life
and tell them they're all so beautiful
when on the inside they're miserable
we live in paintings to become famous
we risk our lives if someone pays us
and as we swipe through our hopes and dreams
and we laugh at all of the memes
our children are bearing witness
and we will have to beg for forgiveness
for what we've put them through
