On your way there, on your way back There's a hole in the sky What's on the other side? They say if you go in you'll die Might be worth it, let's try Nothing's left, nothing's right Some things heavy, some light Every day turns to evening Odd, at least seventeen (eighteen acceptable) If you know what i mean (i don't) Insects creep in your sheets (i don't like bedbugs, do you?) Impolite, incomplete (that wasn't very nice) Twist it tight, sneak a peak (hey, hey look at that!) Keeping this on repeat Cats and salami Oh my god, that' so fucking silly

I'm out of patience, this spaceship is going straight down Don't make a- don't make a peep and don't make a sound Unwilling and wandering, wondering if you'll be found Around and around and around and around and around My eyes aren't tired, I'm fine You're wasting- you're wasting your time Won't be caught dead wasting mine I'm out of patience, this spaceship is going straight down Don't make a- don't make a peep and don't make a sound Unwilling and wandering, wondering if you'll be found Around and around and around and around and around

the important files all got burned and blown into the sea washed ashore out there somewhere but no one could tell what they used to be probably should have made digital copies they say paper's like obsolete we'll remember that next time we promise but there's nothing here to see we'll remember that next time we promise we'll remember that next time the most vital of information just up and left the spot we would tell you but we don't remember that is that we forgot something to do with the launch codes and timing, they mimed it like a lot we'll remember it next time we promise and write it down if not we'll remember that next time we promise we'll remember that next time the important files irreplaceable packets of data vanished into thin air meant to tell you but they're already gone so we weren't sure if you'd care maybe the cloud started raining just saying we should have backed it up to be fair we'll remember that next time we promise and get an external hard drive, we swear we'll remember that next time we promise we'll remember that next time

cat mouse game, skin tears red teeth stained, play fair on your way nowhere can't wait to get there gotta fiddle with this door a little more a thousand keys for one lock what you did and what you didn't every second every minute o'clock say a little say a lot paradiddle paradoxxing your squad technobabble travel faster than the speed of quantum cats in a box trap mouse game, same thing how hollow truth rings same bloodsucker, different host getting like half of what it is they need at most bleed em dry bleed em dry til they die til they all decompose feeling good bout your bad self but knowing you reap what you sow drink it down drink it down if you're still standing you need some more on the floor (x5) tunnel vision did i just lick a toad unconditioned like you don't even know walking through walls that house changed, new stairs strange membranes in there passed right through, no pain still got good brains everybody stopping watches look and listen licking locks of gestalt binding timeless fits of intermission spitting on the spot where you walk you ain't no backwards dog you ain't no demon just some person named blah another number in the pages, white or yellow which one is it? forgot can't quite say, new name same old thing, same thing different vampire, still your throat peachy leeching your blood while you gargle and choke who am i who am i who are you, which one of us is both ain't the same william james different differences obtuse loose quotes killer clown killer clown penny for your all your wisdom at most here we go, there it goes there it was, there it went bye

Onwards, upwards, backwards, no words In line, rewind, scrambled answers Questions, hexes, mad investors In turn, unlearn, oversitter Standing, planning, odor bitter In line, rewind, candied cancer Precious death is who we all serve Three blind mice Four deaf rats Onwards, offwards, forwards, untowards Inwards, outwards, flout your sun chores Moonlight rewrite, candles dancing Onwards, upwards, backwards, no questions Onwards, unlearn, backwards, no questions No questions Four deaf rats

candlestick in the study knife is clean, floor is bloody grinding teeth, tighten leashes mind your p's, q's, and eases into space between, hear your breathing what they thought, i can't even begin what this is, when you see it drop your jaw, drop your empty disgust thought you knew, brought the beating through and through, how you're treating yourself black and blue, trough for feeding new canoe, paddle right off a cliff is this it, is that all far to fall pit might be bottomless don't recall one way street, two faced law now repeat i won't speak i won't squawk you didn't see what you saw no control, unrepeated get a grip, beat it into your head mind is weak, fight to keep it hide and seek, eyes are peeking through hands turn around, face the music can't believe, how could anyone do this demanding an answer but handling confusion alright let me out let me in where's your heart where's the light where's the start where's the end when can we go again in the stars in the night in the places you've been play your part take a bite take your time play pretend paint a picture and burn it in front of your friends taint the image of holiness that they depend on faint hope like a ghost moaning lonely but headstrong together with all those you've lost finding peace in your grief sweet release fleeting thoughts that you wish you could keep seal them up in a jar, put them up on a shelf stare at them in the dark would they glow, would they flow would they flicker and spark would you like what they show could they be who you are no they can't i suppose but you get the idea physicalize your thoughts as a knick-knack oh dear have i lost you i didn't mean to get so abstract this is clearly very serious, don't you forget that

Goldilocks, kicking back Whiskey rocks, coffee black As a matter of fact How sure are you bout that Ain't seen nothing at all Did you scream, did you crawl Did you dream, did you fall Did you leap from the tallest building you could find Mind your business, what is this Swear to all of y'all Maybe this one is different Incision incising division dividing The wave that you're riding to shore Sick surfing metaphor How sure are you bout that Here's more and more (x4) Rotten to your core Rip the band aid Won't do what you want if you can't Shade thrown Blade drawn Take off (how sure are you bout that) Wake up Incision incising division dividing How sure are you bout that Incision incising division dividing The wave that you're riding Did you scream, did you crawl Did you dream, did you fall Did you leap from the tallest building you could find How sure are you bout that

Take Time 03:35
Take time Find it again Wait, why Let's rewind and let's bend back sky Like as high as it gets Low tide, like pods to ingest Take time Find it again Wait, why Let's rewind Wait, sky Like as high as it gets

Stay 03:09
wait what time is the show just realized i don't know unprepared, uncomposed slip in slop on the floor you make sense, say no more don't act like you don't know stay stay in place levitate ain't it great ain't it grand what's the plan list of demands i don't understand all in all, flowy flows almost ghostly, almost sticking between your toes as you're sinking Stay
