I can't change. There ain't no other way. So, make haste and make hay on a sun-shiny day. My rage, it'll never go away. It stays at bay, but just wait till you hear my new tape.
It's like I was breathing, you thought I was eating something, as if all my seething got crossed with believing I'm hungry.
It's a daze within a maze. It's a daydream in the vein of a sudden arrival of total alignment with all set in its place. But, I can't stay awake, and I've been down for days, and I've been trying to hold out to get something full out of a hollower world now for me.
It's like I was singing, you thought I was meaning something, forever repeating but never conceding my wandering through distant metaphors and unillumined little chords. You thought that I was speaking through the creaking of the boards, but long have I been reeling for the feeling of the Lord.
So, I don't have to worry about meaning anymore.

I'm baked every sunset. I wait for... I forget. Lately, I've been wasted and dim.
I ain't even upset. A faint pang of regret. A blank head space. Vacant and dim.

Me and My Shadow

Caught torn in two while off on a tear. Stuck wondering who's the better of the pair: Me and my shadow. See how we'll fair. Or, is it shallow? My secret layer?
Try not to prove what isn't even there. There isn't room to make a God compare a hidden volume of my favorite error with a timid callow bullshit purveyor.
Caught in a vacant stare, I cut off my ugly hair. I wouldn't say that I'm worse for wear. Why don't you grow a pair?

Destroy Me

Invite you to destroy me delicately, coyly. Implore you to disgorge my organs brutally and slowly. Draw it out to span the life of any average man and till the very end, when not a trace of me is left to cry out:
Oh! I'm washed away by the blood. Oh! No me to speak of to open dark doorways, to go into no place.
A sudden shift of gears, and I'm no longer here. I'm staring down from somewhere else, a dim-lit lumineer, sunning for a whole dark year. The carbon clouds no longer clear. They're saying that the end is near, and this time they're right, I fear.
Might as well be dwelling in my cerebellum cause my sense of smell is telling me that hell is here. And, my eyes are swelling from the fire that developed when the ties that were compelling me to lie beneath the ceiling came untied and sent me spilling out my life and any feeling that I'd been finally dealing with the side of me that filling every item in the building, every eye and camera filming, every dime and every shilling. Every I, you, we that's willing takes me over.
And, it makes me everything. I'm sent to solar pulses and all the ghosts. And, plenty among them not anyone knows. They don't stick around no more so don't divulge just why all this whining, just why I've been writing.
Our spimes [sic] just got out of alignment. Such awful timing.
