Simplici.

Smoke fills the train and your silent disability
That you carried out from the pharmacy
It tangles within me
Melodies conjugate and angles separate
It's always been this way
And yet has never been
Waiting for vaccines
To get somewhere clean
Left brain and I'm thrown
Left home and I've grown
Reaching out with skyscrapers for hands
Reaching out to me, in my mind like this city
Like this simplicity

Bail Me Out

Would you bail me out?
Sorry, no I won't.
Do you know the feeling?
Sorry, no I don't.
My fingers around your throat
And the sound of that fast approaching boat
An almost but nowhere to be found
When that fight resounds
I will drop deep, drop dead
Before I see your cold blooded hands
You're the heavy handed axe
I'm the sound of dying hope
But you bail me out?
You tell me I'm a joke
Do you know the feeling?
Of a closing throat
I'll break that stride
I'll break your structure
Like a sculpture under oath
A body made of plaster
You won't be my disaster
As I close this gripping hand
Your fate will turn to sand
Repeated moons in many rooms
In service of the temptation
Complacent assassinations
To end each day as it began
Would you bail
Would you bail out your heart?
That sinks like a leaky boat
I think you need to
But I know you won't.
Your bones, we want operations
but come away with frustrations
Skin's thin and it breaks
It takes
Time for me to shake off the dust
from your design
(I wanna go home)
You are the jail bars
Let me out, Let me out
Conversation, Isolation
All these screens to forget
That I feel caught in your arms
Even I'm away
Would you bail me out?
No, I won't.

Edward James Almost
01:37
|

|
The stars drip as I trip
Into a teenage year that's nearly over
Blue and I slip into
Closing train doors
I never met you but I'm already attached
By jealous strings that float up and pull my hand
into an almost near you
We sway and sing to jazz
Our hands are cast, this song is playing fast on the shore
There is salt between my teeth
As I take you underneath
The metro of my whole
I wait at the gate where the party once was
For the bad weather to pass
And the better time to arrive
I'm not the only one in love with your dance moves
I'm not the only one in love

Sculpture
01:40

Make it half a head
Stick your name in the ground
Cast mold, take note, repeat.
The history of my past-selves
All laid out to me, chronologically
All these people that I was before
Wash, rinse, repeat
And process who you ought to be
Thinking you wanna leave me
Scissors to my face, do you want to replace me?
I push myself aside, could I try another time
Could I sculpt my personality?
Fresh wood to carve my face
Destruction takes creation's place
If only you looked close enough at me
See me as a memory
An instant you catch
A photograph
of orange trees in Tivoli
Grapefruit hands and deities
X-rays you present as evidence
I am clay, you can play with my mind
You can play with my memory
