How to kill a butterfly?
How do you kill a butterfly?
One that has been flying for over a year
One we have nourished together
One that flutters and dances and fills me
How do you squeeze the life out of such a beautiful creature?
My stomach seems to do it for me
Gnawing and turning and tearing
Wing after wing
Leg after leg
It is crying
Or I am
But it keeps fighting
Why won't it just die?
One that has been flying for over a year

Gnawing and turning and tearing
Wing after wing
Leg after leg
It is crying
Or I am
But it keeps fighting
Why won't it just die?

You Never React
You don't react
I say lewd and lascivious things
I can't help myself, I don’t want help
Other than you
Who could I say those things to ?
Misfits
Renegades
Sexual Outlaws
That's a start
Do you agree ?
Waiting
Always wanting
Desire deep cuts to the heart
Coagulation
I say lewd and lascivious things
I can't help myself, I don’t want help
Other than you

Misfits

Buried
Lipstick smeared across basement walls
never made you a woman—
Red stains in white cotton never did, either.
Your fingers wandered into unfamiliar
caverns, coloring cheeks ruby red:
meanwhile in some corner, sat tiny
versions of a spirit collapsed.
Where was the kill switch—
The thing inside telling you to stop.
There is far too much recognition
in my developed psyche
to ever hand out a free pass,
but I burn truth and bury lies
because you clearly still have
the devil in...

Sowing the Seed
They plant the seed
then we breed
what they knead
to feed
the masses
to sustain
social classes
and religious clashes
HATE... [it]
FEAR... [it]
INTOLERANCE... [of it]
Sterilize yourself!

Gift From My Dad
Fly under the radar and cover your tracks,
something I didn’t really understand
when I wanted to flaunt like
Eminem, when he started a band.
That sounded like fitting in just like a cog,
no news means that I’m doing my job.
So instead I just opposed it,
I never wanted to go unnoticed.
I saw it in my friends, ‘fore I saw it in me.
People wanna talk, for example Henry:
Said he’s gunna be on the basketball team.
Turns out,
he got cut from the basketball team.
Pretty soon, I began to leave a wake myself,
Their eyes...

Jodi In A Cell
Like that from tha book of Mormon
Poor Travis got chefed like Gordon
Jodi Aries stuck in her cell so bored and feels sorry for herself so she keeps on balling!
She denied having blood on her hands
She's a sket that wetted up her man
She in tha interview room doing bare handstand...
She didn't like that she was a bootycall
Nuh-uh she didn't like that at all
Then she felt like she was ten feet tall
She took snaps from her cam before she ended it all!
Now she's in a cell still doing her makeup
It's a nightmare and she just can't wake up ...

grave offense
woke up this morning,
looked out the window.
I thought, " oh my God!
how did I get here...?"
they're all out there:
people,
people with their digital
lives.
people with their
mindless thoughts.
masses and masses of
people swirling about
like sick flies around
a garbage can,
blaming life for the life
they made for themselves.
the disease spreads and
is incurable,
never knowing on what
side of the grave
they
lie.

Love Me At Your Own Risk
Sometimes it takes a real person to say how you feel
I think about you all the time
you know that it's real
I say I'm ready for love
Hoping it don’t kill
me in the long run
I’m just trying to heal
But before I get my chance to change
I just wanna let you know that I'm the one to blame
If I was a saint then i'd be ashamed
I got a heart but that's just a waste
And I'm not afraid of the heartbreak
I just don’t know how much my heart can take
I was blinded by your love and that was my mistake
Took me awhile but now im...

Synthetic Lockdown
Conceptual fragility; the seducer of worth
Health be thy wisdom or salt of the earth
My essence, asunder; purveyor of faith
Evil seeps under exposing the wraith
Sanctity of division; a studious mile
Friends turned to enemies; rationale is on trial
Ignorance, a plenty. Devotion a must
It leads with red fury. They follow with lust
Upon its heels, they are amorous. They give all of their soul
But it mechanizes them. It gains full control
I ask them to research. I ask how it came
They look at me bleeding, yet feeling no shame ...
Health be thy wisdom or salt of the earth

It leads with red fury. They follow with lust
Upon its heels, they are amorous. They give all of their soul
But it mechanizes them. It gains full control
