Violence
02:40
|
|||
|
Across the water
A distance that used to be smaller
The place I call homes just an acquisition
Setting up plastic encampments in the sand
They spent so much time getting fucked up across this stolen land
When I was facedown
In the water I forgot how
Violence permeates every decision
Didn’t think about presidents
Didn’t think about buying anything
And in the midst of it
I forgot how to breath too
Oceans will be swept away
By sediment flooding out from the decay
Of where we stood yesterday
But together we’ll be ok
Fuck where we stood yesterday
Cause together we’ll be ok

Outhouses
01:29
|
|||
|
I found myself
Crumpled up and scared
Afraid of the world
But I wasn’t there
They painted a portrait
And I thought it was a mirror
I wanna smash it make it clear
God replaces empathy
It’s too late for unity
When you deny reality
When the world ends
You fuckers will be stuck in offices
When the end comes
Some of us will be stuck in outhouses
Crying please god
Let me die anywhere but here

Shelter
02:57
|
|||
|
All of my petty problems
Form this impenetrable fog
Hanging over me
Except for my asthma
Cause I have to be able to breathe
Before anything else
Believing
Life has inherent meaning
Makes living meaningless
So you will never see
Anybody's value
Or why they should be able to breathe
Before anything else
Before working enough to eat
Before sheltering themselves
I am not my body and my body isn't me
But it is the car i'm driving
And the bed in which i sleep
And like a machine it will give out on me
I have to be able to breathe
Before everything else
Before working enough to eat
Before sheltering myself

Wind Slows
02:19
|
|||
|
This is the part of me
That doesn’t want to live free
That speaks in apologies
That’s slowly rotting
Lay down on the river bank
It’s meaningless
The fog glows
The wind slows
It takes away my breath
And if the light comes through
You know you did enough
To bathe in it
To deserve love
Sink into the lake
Feel the depth
The fog glows
The wind slows
Until there’s nothing left

Eucalyptus Trees
01:41
|
|||
|
Who can I be tomorrow realistically
Fuck the person I wanted to be
In 5 years
5 years back
In 2017
Just try to embrace the possibility
That the entire system collapses by 2050
And the tiniest steps start to add up
Once you get into the groove of it
Wholesome thoughts about getting better
Are slowly seeping in
Just think about all the eucalyptus trees
And the prisons we’ll burn to the ground
In the next century

Gameboy SP
02:28
|
|||
|
It hurt itself in its confusion
I read on the screen
Of my Gameboy SP
In 2003
Microplastics in the bloodstream
Of every human being
Alive
They’ll find everything that we made
Then we’ll fade away
So I’m gonna live
Like I’m already free
Microplastics in the bloodstream
Of every living thing
No god
It’s raining for the first time in weeks
I go on a walk to clear my allergies
Feeling uninspired and surreal
Fix it all with a coffee
I noticed the houses starting to glow
On my walk home

West Coast
02:13
|
|||
|
Crawling up and down the west coast
Soak it in
Cause this place is bound to erode
Fumbling with the volume
Ash in the coffee cup
And I’ve never felt so at home
And nothing exists but now
So I’m pulling over now
And they’re all planning their escapes
After setting fire to this place
But the night sky is clear
And we’ve got a right to our atmosphere
Crawling up and down the west coast
Wondering when the sun is gonna explode
Nothing exists but now
So this is who I am now

Death Poems
03:20
|
|||
|
Marine layer death smell
Decay on the beach
Feeding the cycle
Rotting in peace
Forest floor
Devour me
Send me up through the branches
Integrate me
Transcendental death poems
Take me out of this room
Bring the world into me
Bring the world into you
Sluggish moss, grimly crawling
Into caves, over mountains
Show me how to eat the world
So I can feel whole again

Swept Away
03:17
|
|||
|
You’re not built to last
But you echo along your path
In everything you touch
In every one of us
Like brown replaces green
There’s just some shit you can’t unsee
And there’s something always around the corner
Waiting
When dust builds up on you
It takes longer to break through
And when you stop to catch your breath
The dust settles again
When I was facedown
In the water I forgot how
Violence permeates every decision
Oceans will be swept away
By sediment flooding out from the decay
Of where we stood yesterday
But maybe we’ll be ok
