gospel 03:41
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

think tank 03:48
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

perspective 04:30
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

river 04:29
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
