1st Wave 02:08
the first wave I anticipated was nothing like the one you brought on and I scraped my knees on the burning concrete and I watched as my knees bled down the first thing I had thought you had said wasn’t what you had said at all and I make believe and I pull up my sheets and I go back to sleep alone
2.
you know me I’m a regular thief make off with your thoughts while you’re asleep pour my loot in a leaky cave use your dreams while I sleep all day I’m growing moss like a three toed sloth can’t get up can’t get off or outside where the sun will shine and burn me itching out of my dry skin burning out my eyes making them squint my advice to those who take be weary of the ones who are awake some daydreams come and their thoughts get dull a fuzzy mind in a chalky skull of nothing itching to be out of their skin to be somewhere anywhere

Yikes 04:02
I smell a witch- I smell sand and seagrass here my pretty lizard let your velvet fingers draw me near the green ferns from the black holes in your eyes I looked inside and licked my teeth before I died hold my hand you know I’m lost on everything so far out and without doubt I’m here still waiting for you I learned to bleed and to turn into something but when nothing comes to mind I appear the same so put a thumb to your nose and wiggle fingers ‘round or blow your sticky tongue and pull an eyelid down the face you make it doesn’t make a difference at all pull me out of space together we could fall hold my hand you know I’m lost on everything so far out and without doubt I’m here still waiting for you I learned to bleed and to turn into something but it never does the trick when you’re around

Naps 03:26
I had this dream last night maybe you were in it then maybe not probably not still, I told you that you were even though I wasn’t all too sure a fruitless fib to shoot the shit sleeping away sleeping-- a way Oh, I like a nap (tried to get myself out of the bed)

Talk 2 Me 00:42

Cool Pool 03:09
girls in the sun at the pool, hey don’t run death to the young and their drooling acid tongues for you you’re so cool you’re so cool swirling visions from tripping down you come death when I was young my ego did succumb to you cause you’re so cool you’re so cool
7.
Carrot 02:36
sometimes I’m thirsty and I need a drink it seems to happen all the time the water feels very different in my mouth and makes a sound swallowing down life flies when you’re having none life is second to one and the one is, and the one is, and the ones is death and then I’m hungry and I need a snack you’ll catch me reaching for a carrot I like to eat them while I’m on my way to your place I walked for miles and fell flat on my face when you said: I’m alive and I’m having fun laughing second to one and the one is, and the one is, and the one is death
8.
King Jeans 04:39
shoot me over the fence cause I could not stop fawning for all your yawning was curled in and washed out yearning for florid for florid cheeks and a pet to peak with go to place a hand in hand and weave four fingers in between back and forth on your birthmark or your bruise they are too easily confused I’m in it for the trip the back and forth until we’re dead from out feet to our heads come out onto damp lawns to light a candle to candle light we may not or might be go to place a hand in hand and weave four fingers in between back and forth on your birthmark or your bruise they are too easily confused I do believe that when our lives go by we forget we already died all of this playing out before our eyes we must have seen a million times still there's no reason you should ever cry it's just a game inside your mind on his throne he sits alone King Jeans we know

the void is the unknowing I enjoy it as the place I’m going we are the members of the Harakiri Krishnas there are swords in our abdomens the void is the unknowing I enjoy it as the place I’m going when we’re going they’ll be no reason for to seek us enlightenment never goes as planned
10.
in the back yard where you’re standing eyes can only see the hand in front you’re never really gone and when reality starts peeking into you it feels like weeks then we’ll forget our goings on I’m looking at you, I’m looking at you you can’t see me can you? you can’t see me can you? I’m looking at you, I’m looking at you well I don’t know what to do when I’m looking at you
11.
I keep it on my head till the wet thoughts get dry I wear it as a cape let the wet thoughts drip dry a bleach-blonde bowl turned green in the swimming pool she’s all silly kisses but her lips would be gone for a while 1000 ways to wear your towel a bleach-blonde bowl turned green in the swimming pool I wish I were a lizard so I could change colors too cause I don’t know what to do when I’m looking at you I keep it on my head till the wet thoughts get dry I wear it as a cape let the wet thoughts drip dry but I don’t know what to do when I’m looking at you
