Dream Ark

Sitting in the dark
Waiting for the dream ark
To embark on a course
It’s obvious to me
The habit shifting
Soul-searching machine’s
Gonna stay
Feasting upon
My recycled thoughts
Post-consuming
Mind altering
Are you really what you’re supposed to be
When you’re asleep?
Here stars will never guide us there
Preoccupied
Well time rolls by
And I’m okay
I’ve got my eyes drawn on
Yeah, I’m okay

The fine line tugs, and you reel in
Split halves, guts and gills you rip them out
Filthy blank face
“Well don’t you give me that look!”
99 me’s decided it was time to eat
Infinite realities you sit suck and complain
But are you really at fault?
You try to scream and flip the scene
But silent you’ll remain, so are you really at fault?
Granny shuffles along
Silver hair up in a bun
T-rex arms held so close
A fat purse dangling like a worm
Void of onlookers, that alley lamp is dying again
Nice and easy now, and enjoy your remaining years
Infinite realities you’ll fish for evil deeds
But are you really at fault?
You’ll lie and cheat but in the streets
You’ll die amongst sewage
Are you really at fault? Are you really??
You tell me I’m not an awful person I’m just following my script
I tell you I’m not an awful person I’m just following your script
It’s not like you haven’t tried to stop it it’s just useless to resist
I’ll tell you you’re just a goddamn loser and it’s useless to exist

Gliding

Won’t travel ahead if I cut my lines
So, hold on
"Don’t pull too hard on the brakes," they sighed
“You’ll fold up”
I fly over the same things every day
They pull me
Into orbit and tell me I won’t change
“Fail slowly”
I can’t have you gliding with me
It’s not you, I really don’t want to bleed
You’ll see things you don’t really want to see
You’ll see things you don’t need to see
Keep your laughter at bay
“Well, well, what do we have here today?”
Another bottle and a bong down the chute
It’s nothing new, it’s not that cute
Well, I fell asleep at the helm for miles
Reaching heights that were frighteningly mad
Till the aging courtrooms put those dreams on trial
“Won’t do, you’ll be sad”
So, I don’t want you gliding with me
That’s not true, I’m only terrified you’ll flee
When you see things I don’t really want you to see
You’ll see what I think I should be

ASMR

Poland Spring is your summer drink
And I am now a footnote
Pruned limbs post bubble bath
Announcing your intentions to float
“Do you know it’s mostly oxygen
Even though there’s two H’s?”
ASMR when it rains all day
How am I to forget?
When it's all you can think about
“Your headache’s from a lack of H2—"
Oh ENOUGH!
Storm off into the harbor in red rubber boots
Kicking puddles like a kid would
While I’ll stay home
Waiting ‘round for something good
Something I had told a garden gnome
Standing ground’s misunderstood
You knew I never learned to swim

Seems as long as i keep my feet buried deep into the sand
i'll be content sans wondering
how the hell can you live in a beach town without a spray tan
and abandon any search for a volley doubles partner
Stand up and shout with my yellow whiffle ball bat
"Finish your drink!" then dizzying
To this fresh bass dropping music
From my wireless blue speaker that hypnotizes each new sunken state
It's been a long time,
It's been a long time,
Scan the dream,
for the shrieking scene
Holding in a fart on this big brown comfy couch
Cold cushions calling me alone
Bobbing up with the newest topic, sink along with the next
Even if it's common i'll just tie myself back to the fridge
It's been a long time
Such a long time
Scan the dream
For the freaking scene
Bring all the tears you want
cuz each empty glass acts just like a reservoir for lonely nights
That pin drop moment when you wake the fuck right up
You're not that fun
This isn't you
It's been a long time
Such a long time
Scan the dream
For the shrieking scene
I said it's alright
Ya it's alright
Now you know
It's all for show
