lyrics

Totem pole full of wrath on the ground floor. Middle's what I want to stick around for. So-so on the taste test. Golden on the apex. Folded in itself, and it's strong, but it's tasteless. Not the time to time warp. Sly enough to pine for. Eye'd it up and down until it's shine became the kind you can't decide if it is timeless or an eyesore. It's unattackable but somehow falls short of being actually magical.

Float it out to sea and back. It can never really stay what you leave it as. Mineral utility but ruby jewel consistency, it staggers but it's moving with a certain crude agility.

Back, back, feed it no scraps. Please don't grieve its missteps, it doesn't like that. It doesn't give two haves of a fuck about cleaning it's mess. I don't defend but I respect it.

Dirty snow knocks the cobwebs off for spring and summer. The eyes for seven wonders, the tummy for neighborhood watch. 50,000 watts pushed through a computer speaker. System overload, navel gazing with major sinister overtones. I feel like half of the mad lyrical is as bad lyrical does. Solid buzz a few days of the month. Trash unraveled, re-work, edit, better. Fine line between what's said and what's seen.

From the tips of the toes to the bones of your breast, I want you to feel this close like I'm almost holding your neck. Teeter between golden and closest to death. In the moments that it hits me I'm holding my breath, I go: back.

Back into the roar again, it's torrid but it comes in spurts. Alluring in the way that when you look at it, it never works. High and tight blindside. Dirty, rusty forceps. Stuck it on my forehead, forgot to look for it.

I lurch forward and get pushed out of orbit, which led to a torrent of right moves in the wrong order, so now normal seems boring, and I can't go back to the puzzle pieces. If it all comes up trumps, it's been nice to meet ya.
