beginner’s mind
i’m not that accustomed
is this really mine?
is this really how i want to spend all of my time?
guess i’m like that, i seem to find
releasing my-
self to the distractions
self to the hive mind
is this really how i want to spend all of my time?
i’m not like that
living without you and all you knew
without a clue, it’s what i have to do
this is not for you, just something that i do
though i will hold on
hold on, hoping you’ll respond
respond, respawn, you’ve been gone
so long so long so long
so long
there goes my pride
shifting my attention to other things i like
i just want to be a better version all the time
is that so bad? please reply
constant reprise
and constantly reflecting on all the years gone by
and all the years to come, i feel i’ve lived them many times
maybe i have
what’s my point of view without yours too?
and what parts are true?
what parts will i not use?
this is not for you
though i will hold on
hold on, hoping you’ll respond
respond, respawn, you’ve been gone
so long so long so long
so long

another planet

taken to another planet
one with space to breathe
patiently i’m running rampant
talking to the trees
try to understand the language
they’re speaking to me
hard at home field disadvantage
no tranquility
all that i had ever wanted
figurative speech
how to live aside the nonsense?
how to best receive?
capture time to track the progress
check back in a week
it’s not a contest
no one here to beat
wander empty handed
try to
water what you planted
try to
work until it’s candid
part of you
i do, i do try to, try to
i do, i do try to, try to
i do, i do try to, try to
i do i do i do i do i do i do i do i do i do i do i do
i do try to

space and time
02:54
|

|
i wander space and time
i remain unsatisfied
i can’t find you
i hear you speak your mind
i will listen, i don’t find
joy in your truth
wasn’t always so easy though
there were times
we cried, so miserable
but we'd always watch the sunrise as we
came home
so i don’t want to know
i wander space and time
tell myself that down the line
i will find you
this is only a feeling though
i’ll be fine
for now i’ll wander alone
every night i think of you and wish you’d
come home
so i could hold you close
so i don’t want to know

boohoo

my hearts been broken
it’s been broken before
but not by you
i never thought that i would open up that door
but i had to
i had no room
i had to see the other floors
i had to do it
just wishful hoping, wasn’t expecting more
cause i assumed this is the shape we’ve grown into
well boohoo
la la ladididadada dadada
i don’t mind the pine
i don’t mind the pine, do i?
do i?
do i?
do i?
i’ll make you smaller, shrink you down to a size
where you blend in to all the other people passing through my life
you’ll fit right in
you’ll look like them
you won’t stand out or be the light
there’s nothing to it
i’ll be the author and i’ll keep you alive
i’ll write about how i no longer think of you
oh boohoo
and i said la la ladididadada dadada
i don’t mind the pine
i don’t mind the pine, do i?
do i?
do i?
do i?
do i?
ladadadooddoodadodoaddaaa........

show some empathy
show me you’ll be hurting
show me that you’ll miss me
i don’t disagree
want this to be easy on you
easy on me
it always will be
always been since autumn
always on the same team
such high density
let me drain this water
let me let me release
share your energy
show me down the allies you’d hang out as a teen
walk me through the streets
take over my body, take my eyes take my feet
shut and in the green
begging to unwind if something here could guide me
to a place complete
swinging back and forth until your face and mine meet

skeletons
03:54

walked this line
so many times
it was so familiar
let my pride
leave me a guide
thinking that i could trust
it’s time to send my body home
i’m so tired
of thinking that i
thinking that i killed ya
took some time
letting you die
letting myself build up
it’s time to let my body go
it’s time to let my body go
cleaning out my closet i had filled it with your bones
thinking if i tossed it i would lose a sense of home
what should i do with all these skeletons? they’re blocking all my clothes
i gotta let it go now
walked this road
i loved it so
something that had grown love
though i know
tied to a rope
this road i had to rid of
it’s time to send my body home
it’s time to let my body grow
cleaning out my closet i had filled it with your bones
thinking if i locked it i’d forget they’re in my home
what should i do with all these skeletons? they’re blocking all my clothes
i gotta let it go now
i gotta let it go now

just for a moment
i’ll sink right in
i don’t have much to say
won’t serve me well to pretend
trying to focus
i’ll try again
i feel a lot today
heavy and elevated
ohhhhh
quick stop
keep going
process different
i feel so far away
different state yesterday
magic sky glowing
i’m listening
i feel a lot today
ohhhhh

to die
03:12
|
|||
|
time going nowhere
reside in this state
rise, feel the cold air
energize, make your way to the train
scan the lay for the faces you recall from yesterday
give them name, watch them change
as the world revolves around what you create
to die (x32)
smile at the picture where we look the same
same eyes, same structure
i see nothing’s changed but the day
all the scriptures will remain in their set place there is no victor
pass away, i’m passing with her
as a part of her decays i’m bound to figure

little kid
03:41

take me where i used to live
before we left a hundred ten
before we moved and moved again
ceiling fan with blades of different coloring
i used to fix my eyes on one and watch it spin
love is such a simple thing
when all you say is
“see you in the morning when the sun’s risen”
take my heart and lay it on the carpet
let me sit in it
break into parts
and recollect the garden as a little kid
a little kid
a little kid
i hold onto everything
from birthday cards to empty pens
used all the ink, i’m proud if it
wonder of the words they’ve written down
and if i’m just a combination of the things i did
broken arm and etches in the car
we’ll have to finish it
note the scars, but take them as they are
as they’re a little kid
a little kid
a little kid
i know i can find you there
i know i can find you there
find you there
find you there
i know i can find you

chasing all my time
05:10

iron fist
swung and missed
maybe i’m not the slick fighter i so admire
i’ve no fit
feel a glitch to the right
scratch my itch
break my heart, give me fire
what the fuck am i doing?
tryna lead blind
what it’s like to be human
changing all the time
i must look so stupid
smile while i cry
what it's like to be human
chasing all my time
in the pit
well equipped with no light
swallow spit
bit my tongue
close my eyes
you’re breaking me
you’re breaking me
you’re breaking me
you’re breaking me
what the fuck am i doing?
tryna lead blind
what it’s like to be human
changing all the time
i must look so stupid
smile while i cry
what it's like to be human
chasing all my time

overstep, undermine
so misread, so misfired
two bites left. eat slow, digest it right
readdress, redefine
with your chest speak your mind
one bite left. swallow, digest it right
heavy head, treading fire
how was i expected to comply?
fear i vex, hard to process
was i right?
was i right?
what a family dynamic
always leaving in some panic
never healing just expanding
always bleeding through your bandage
what i fear and what i anguish
what i’ve grown to understand i
only love what i can manage
how i want to speak your language
how i want to speak your language
how i want to speak your language
