hands free
we retain the important
things in life
with our hands
with our hearts and in our minds
depression, however provides the ability
to hold on to everything that comes your way
everything
all at once
forever
whatever the burden

want
she says it's one of those things
that comes and goes
she says it's one of those things you want
right up until it's yours
and she thinks that those things
shouldn’t get a second thought
i think that one of those things
that comes and goes is me
that comes and goes
she says it's one of those things you want
right up until it's yours
and she thinks that those things
shouldn’t get a second thought
i think that one of those things
that comes and goes is me

exorcise
possessed by what has been i will be
behind all that you do and don’t see
darkness hides every breed of monster
and i’m more than a little afraid
that one of them might be me
behind all that you do and don’t see
darkness hides every breed of monster
and i’m more than a little afraid
that one of them might be me

just sayin
my hatred of feeling
is deeply held
into the ground so it seems
emotion can build
seemingly illogical structures
but depending on where you’re standing
everything can be logical
though not every day
and not today
if saturation can dictate variances in normalcy
then regardless of how deep i’m in it
i should be normal for that depth
but it’s not normal
it’s not normal to feel this kind of nothing
and that that doesn’t feel...often feels severe
so is deeply held...

swerve
if you find you’ve stumbled into love
please.....let it die
if it won’t die naturally
then kill it
defy the dream and defend your ground
because love won’t conquer all
just you
please.....let it die
if it won’t die naturally
then kill it
defy the dream and defend your ground
because love won’t conquer all

if
if the little things
that can lead me to thinking i’m a freak
are much the same little things
that can lead you to thinking you’re a freak
and i’m thinking that they are
then maybe they’re just....things
and being a freak doesn’t come into it
that can lead me to thinking i’m a freak
are much the same little things
that can lead you to thinking you’re a freak

urban primate
if a monkey’s throwing poo at you
don’t make it personal
perspectively
it’s bound to throw poo
it’s a monkey
that’s what they do
don’t make it personal
perspectively
it’s bound to throw poo
it’s a monkey
that’s what they do

slide
rabid ideations of this lachrymose drift however
pointless and damaging remain grossly extensive
like chewing wheel nuts until your teeth break
sorting laminate facts from truth requires eyes damaged
from the stale embrace of yet another cardboard cutout
ornamental feelings tear so unpredictably
and dispensable emotion tends to satirise dreams
the distinguishing differences between a bright spark
and a short circuit become ambiguous during groundrush

landlocked
it was time i felt to launch a love offensive
i had a keen eye and was stable on my feet
with lessons carried through i claimed to know a thing or two
so i had never set a plan for my defeat
prowling through the jungle calling conquest and flushing game
i expected lovebirds or a dove before the night
but love, will not be hunted
within this truth a vital lesson to defer a hearts regret
don't expect to catch a bird when it's clearly still in flight
