More time were wasted less time were stressing
Don't call me precious I'm not your reflection
Fresh off that pretense cold water prefect
High time for no time let's make this thing perfect
Memorize your defense
Moonrise to eclipse
Darkness for everyone here come my secrets
Swipe load large yeah price of renown deep drink dumb talk he is tainting a town
Long drive can't walk with the weight of nouns no weight in his words no weight in his crown
Stars and scars at the peak of the mount old bars gold cards til he figured it out lone art no charge and a leak of the mouth it was all he could count he is bowing it out
I've been lost since I spelled innocence
Still not convinced this is all it is

there’s mt adams in the haze
these birch aint from here babe
were all just creeping where we ought not
far from our past and from our foreign flock
fresh bulb torn off a rose from where you last stopped
I bet those pascals press on your clothes to make your stomach drop
(am I am I am I am I)
you never knew that you never had nothin
Oh I ain't much for climbing down
as she towers to the sky
sprung on harvest pride
your phantom makes a fertile crop now
always more than what you put down
flesh don’t pawn off a garment like a rest stop
(close your eyes and trust the sign)
crest breaks harder than bone up on a stiff top
was it a past that you’d fall in right?
and the havoc you caused at night
past the point of sad
"would you call me back?"
and the well that you’d fallen out
serving heads to the gallows now
implore less to feel things out
your patient crown

It will stop
Heavily, dreams rise from deepest places
darkly cast anchor overboard
waiting out the coming storm
Heavenly reams of clouds are billowing above
Blistery gusts, threatening to blast
the outcast pacifist
roosting way out deep
high hopes for getting
stuck in place
despite the ever shifting waves
irreverent of the curling blades
you've been out on a cold one
drifting towards the center of a
lonesome blue
adamant, set sail
ever darker depths in the wasting place
you hold your expectations down to drown your broken body
you stumble to distract one folly
with a host of sinister alternatives
justify your hate with pain
such a shame
what a pitiable and inconsequential naming of things
despicable waste of time and slow reeling downwards
flay me with the cheap shootings
you massacre anyone close enough to reach you
through the cloud you've draped across your waters
going under it for days
you chose that sad heading pointed inwards
you twisted the reigns to defend your blame
for one pride you take
naming yourself the ones best lost
you smugly hang that mantel, smirking
smiling idiot doting pity,
you revel in your beastly haste
rolling thunder pleased pitiful
the wailing squall tears over every outsize problem you conjure
even amiable sailors out from distant harbors
turn away from your gloomy island
once sought for shelter and trade
stormy, and steeped in misery,
a merchant's tossed amongst the waves
I remember how it rains
it will stop
though it comes and goes in spades

Tempest

little calm before the rain arrives
standing hypnotized
soaking through your coat
I refrain from the epitome
we aren't the used to be
that weathered the storm
lonely eyes that call you home
and you never know where you'd rather go
balance out to what you owe
pray they never know where you'd love to go
when you're burning out your eyes
just to better memorize
when the sun sets on the ocean
two times over
if Mauna Kea had its way
we'd all be washed into the bay
with a bitter mellow shrug of
her broad shoulders
I'm so busy writing songs
I forgot i don't belong
just a creature with a date
dead on arrival
spread kukui around their stems
where the squatters built their dens
pressed against the waves
their thoughts are final
somewhere inside me, I knew
I don't belong here near you
held on as long as I could
your tempest will tempt me for good.

Girl you've got a way of making me behave
Don't you worry thats just not like me I'm afraid
Folded a red dress, pushed on the cold glass
Breath you had been prescribed awhile
Sympathy pre made
Cooked like a heatwave, phone staying on the hook for now
Take my turn, parse your words, time I'm done bout nothing beats the truth
Except me
Check myself l, done so well, wring me out and finally set it loose
I know you
Girl you've got a way of making me behave
Don't you worry thats just not like me I'm afraid.

you pull your lips back
but no amount of teeth can shield you from the fact
that
this is your worst year in months
and I think you've slipped through
enough
safety nets for once.
caught on all your fuss, the captain costed us.

Lust
You'd call it lust
Across my face
Rust snowfall and rust
Crowd my place
Asked you when you'd fallen down
You said not now
Hush
Way youre in rush along my gaze
Flush, rest all your guts upon my Seine
I asked you when you'd fallen down
You said not now
And your plan, riddled with scouts
A plan not found
Lust
You'd call it lust around my plain
Can't we make this up?
You lost my faith
Asked you when you'd calm me down
You said never 'bout
Asked you can you count me out
You said not now.
I'll be gone
Pressed to find a knowing kind were here all along
Lone, here it shows
Wasted lies the "I's" you know, they're better off
Cry, all is fine, til the time when no one climbs toward where you are
(We'd oneself to one place rest up long come unchanged go headlong in your name shift your weight live untamed)
I'll be gone

No Love Lost

He said ingenuously friends
These blistered hands hold
Immense regret
Born of morals sorely bent
The more we've said the less we've meant
January came and went
A text unsent, a deepening trend
Then the
Words of weary left your lips
You seem upset, your heart's unlit
With tomorrows wake to come
As birds we bobbed in the waves we love
Stretch your wings just one more time
We won't be yours we won't be mine
Now your dark is done
Leash your mind and tongue
Blindly wait so long
Ember light as the sigh lives on
[And I'll tell ya I met her in the
thick of the wilderness and I still left my comfort
at the base of my three front steps
And if you're the catch, as she said
Then who's wall is my head hanging on? ]
How could you have known
My unfold, an
Arresting winding tome
Spared a soul, stood remote
Alluring jewel we stole
Barren winter child,
Walked a mile
And polished up their soles
Starving out a fire
All the while
A breath across a coal
In the end a poem of reticence
The same old story told
Blessed with less he spoke of pestilence
Convincing none who'd hold
Time for lies/ a wiry eye
And he pays no cost
Truth alive, delivery signed
Alas, no love lost

oh brother, if I die, bury me by the sea or with a warm fire.
oh brother, if I die, I'll tell father we missed him since he left.

Ghost feat. Godhand

Anyone's ghost could have me
Anyone could fill out from the inside and assume these limbs for seeing the fabric of community
Hidden legacy within the teams of broken poetry I can't pretend to know the weight of changing but beg to be removed.
Retreating to any place worth keeping my head down
Who have I been though?
And who's spirit have I walked silent, but for the dust and stones kicked up in my wake, upending the roots I came across throughout my journey on the outside
I foolishly misrepresent myself in the features carved for my account
Be worthy
Whose ghost would I use
Who would take the time to arm an empty husk with something worth seeking
If only I could learn
(Believe in myself believe in myself)
Unable to catch wind as the din from a mouth which with incessant screaming rails on about pride and shame with equal partiality
And if I could sculpt with these weak and splintered hands which limit executions neatly, I would.
A monument to who could stand on mangled feet torn from so much dragging stubbornly dispirited to dark corners to sink with the graceless paranoia
Poised true in each offering and life line sent salvation
Who could find meaning with eyes straining to see past the forms as the minds names them before taking the time to earn what's claimed in knowing
I should find joy lifting up a head so heavy with regret sunk far enough
I find my gaze looped backwards
Twisted sickly embarked from moving on
Who could I be?
Who's ghost?

Almighty Thing

Last split ends
Euphoric bends
To grasp the surface
Only curbs the fun
Were lent
A cardinal sin
You think you're gonna
Bind their wings
I laugh
You try to hold them in
But you can't
Not like that
Boiling up
Ya Muster nothing
Speak for us
Oh just say something
Then
No not like that
Morning rakes the window panes
A prism rains the bows across
The ceiling vent your short of breath
Poundin your head
She rounds out the bed you made
To build a better circle it'll take
Much more than grace
Talk of every sting
Allieved
A wasted word
Evaporated pain
On my name
Last split ends the window panes
Euphoric bends a prism rains
To grasp the surface short of breath
The ceiling vent above your head
The fun
The sin of every sting
You think you're gonna waste a wing
Oh speak for us almighty thing
A test of less
A passing grade
Call you to find vigor, past where the fallen sat
Pass me a long arm, right where the patterns at
We'll wait til the lines thicker
Born in the aftermath
Til they call that faith on
Oh would you pass at that?

[look alive child life's too long to die wild]
No wasting my pain in a finer state
Dream the peace I await but have not obtained
Bend your sign
fall from new heights
Til she calls me down from there I'll take my time
Lone grift, a way for a mind to change
and your
Long hair, the weight on a mind erased
Then your crime
No harbor light
Mounting weather costs
A feather lost
In counting my I's
Press against the wave and find me in the pain
Fall into my pace, so weary I have been
Less I have to pay the longer I might stay
Rest, you have to wait before I find a way

Spun a lasso for a minute
Spurn the last song fore you get in
I been trying
To take 5
A long time
That's life
Tossed a lifetime for a digit
Passed an eagle for a pigeon
I been trying
to take 5
I know it's right
But no dice
We're only getting old
Ink on a parchment
I'm weary to fold
So much for suffering
Suss out the sentiment
Cut out the power
And pardon their eyes
Essentially infamous
Could use a second chance
Curing the pixels
Study the semblance
So if its personal
The feeling is mutual
Heavier the nightmare
Deeper the day
Fuck all the subtlety
Take what you want from me
Place all the pieces
Strip off the meaning
Trapped in the present tense
The fever is infinite
Feet on the pavement
Faced off my patience.
A sun might rise
Not mine
Not this time

Bound to let it crawl when its breaking off a fin
You're cold in your words, the warmths in your vital sin
A sole embrace
A year to wait
Lonely comfort breaks when i define the stakes
ooooo

opportunistically, sheer criminality? no
smoke, oh you're burning me, mouthful emergen-c shows
one feels the weight of a word wont be spoken out loud
words fall and waves crest but still you stay calming me down
Should we go outside?
Should we go outside?
Should we break some bread?
Are y'interested?
and I railed
its a golden ring
and I raked
its a twisted string
at the difference between
ask the counselor, the king
the sprout and the bean
they'll tell you the same thing
