It's Not Mine

when the past proctor pulls up to prowl
don’t move
the sensing subject sees that it’s sour
and they know what to choose
they’ve been tasked with the tools
without you
when the past proctor pulls up to prowl
don’t move
the sensing subject sees that it’s sour
and they know what to choose
they’ve been tasked with the tools without you
no, i’m not a fool without you
‘cause i found a way without you
i know what you’ve done
and I know why you did
and it’s not mine
make like a fucking tree
and when i narrow my lane
it really widens my frame
and when i washed off all that grease–
yes, i cordially invite you
to make like a tree
no disrespect to trees
i'm hurt
sensitivity isn’t a pass on accountability

fragmented in a new way,
it’ll always be hard receiving
there’s not enough space
for that to be enough this evening
it’s not hard
remembering both lines
and it’s the next best thing
to you coming back to being
i learn to live with the ringing
fragmented in a new way,
it’ll always be hard receiving
i want to believe
dreamed you’re in the room
electric hums and breathes
hear what you need come through
hammer-keyed to being

move it this time
take me down a notch/take things down a notch
sometimes think it/sometimes need it
why?
something silver
no old schemes
i'm a lookie loo, set off for reality
set off set off for reality
cold river releases us
i will stand and see the cracks there in the earth
and we all need that/and i won’t seek death
i'll stand with you
i'm unsure of the sir and mister
i'm the brother, I'm the sister
i'm alive
we’re ringing it in
let’s light this early “why?”
true light
cold river releases us
cold river releases us/doled sliver, i needed trust
cold river releases us
this time

Idle Hands
03:19

|
oh wow
something awakened in me
that virtue’s just a fantasy
and I make relief
no ill fitting fantasy roles
i've got a network in me
all alive and gonna be right for me
humanly
'cause if it’s right, then I’ll know
we’ll have it humanly here
we’ll have it humanly here
your morals might as well be
a portal to
another hellish atmosphere
stop when I stop
if you’re gonna say
watch out idle hands
i won’t unhand the devil under dadgummed glassfuls
we’ll have it humanly here
we’ll have it humanly here
your portals might as well be
a laurel daring not to share the roots of near
stop when I stop
if you’re gonna say
watch out idle hands
i won’t unhand the devil under dadgummed glassfuls
when the inspector comes, please remember your lines
you donʼt see that
thereʼs no question if itʼs real
The fuck to do with how i’ll heal
and if I’m gonna drop
and you’re gonna say
watch out idle hands
i won’t unhand the devil under dadgummed glassfuls

i’ve been weighing my choices
learning to forget
about the person
you wanted me to be instead
yes I’ve been making much meaning
flown out feathery words
sing a tragic song in my head
most of them got there by string
and there’s some that got there by me
or maybe it’s more real to ask, at what point do I try to let them go?/
now i’m ready for the task, the point where I try to let them go
learn to, learn to, learn to love the thought about it
and hold the one thing I know
i've been so scared about slipping/I’m not scared about slipping
choosing where I stand
it’s kind of hard to remember/Something I’ll always remember
it’s all been a fuzz/And there’s only so much
and I’m just trying to come to terms with the space
space in my hands
do something that you want to
or don’t do
it’s too good to let them
it’s too good to let them through
most of them got there by string
and there’s some that got there by me
Now i’m ready for the task, the point where I try to let them go
learn to, learn to, learn to love the thought about it

By Turning My Head

manipulated samples of a reading of The Problems of Philosophy by Bertrand Russell.
"By turning my head I see out of the window buildings and clouds and the sun. I believe that the sun is about ninety-three million miles from the earth; that it is a hot globe many times bigger than the earth; that, owing to the earth's rotation, it rises every morning, and will continue to do so for an indefinite time in the future."
