Remember the Worms?

Don't punish me
I'd never leave
Unless it was for you
The endless stream
Of dopamine
I've severed halfway through
What I have done
Is everything
You said you couldn't do
Now run away
Before this fate
Becomes what yours is too
~Remember when we were little
And we tried to save the worms?
We'd run outside on hot summer days,
look for them on the concrete.
And when we spotted one we'd rush inside,
grab a cup from the cabinet, fill it with sink water,
and bring it back outside like paramedics on duty.
We'd poor and poor.
But once the sun had blackened their little bodies,
they couldn't be saved.
I remember. I wonder if you do, too.~

Pillars of salt are all we become when the
Lines between past and present are drawn
I could give up and leave all these memories behind,
But I'll probably just look past my shoulder one more—Time
Don't look back
Don't look back

Another diplomat goes under the knife
Two Chinese syndicates pay less than half price
For the name of her man
For the blame if they can't
Lift the weight of her final days in gold
He meant her well they'll say
Who is she, anyway?
Send your disdained regards
To false internal registars
The chance to make amends
Too heavy on the Splendour
Kissed by the gentle break of dawn
---
You let her go
And so I think you should know
That human fingers and toes
Will decompose within
A week undersea
Granted the acidity
Of Cali Two Harbors deep
A bitter conscience
But the ocean remembers
All the things we forget
Mysterious circumstance
And unsettled debt
---
Tape your emotion to digital modem
Watch as she rises beyond its vision
Feel wires pull you from under your skin
I bet you wish never to breathe again
---
'God save thee, ancient Mariner!
From the fiends, that plague thee thus!—
Why look'st thou so?'—With my cross-bow
I shot the ALBATROSS
---
Throw me to the raging waters
Drown me in your shame
The sea will rot these bones of mine
Yours guilt—it's all the same
Throw me to the raging fire
Kill me with your blame
No angel can forsake the haunting
Echoes of your name

Men of war

Homicide
Alibis
"It's not so hard" you said
"Just choose someone"
Visa cards
Boulevard
Fall in love
Fuck the gov
It's not that simple though, what if
I'm wrong for you?
Blot your eyes
Pennywise
Cross your T's
Save the beez
And then they parted ways
Masters of fate
Nothing loved
Nothing pained
Nothing lost
Nothing gained

Walk Us Home

Found my bed last night it's
In between stop signs where
Satan marks the uncharted road
Am I just a dream that you
Wake and don't remember or
Do I trouble you still?
Who, what, where, when
How do I get home from here?
Who, what, where, when
Why should I care about you?
---
Free your mind!
(I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying to)
Free your mind!
(I'm trying, I'm trying, to be a better person)
Free your mind!
(I can't wait, I can't wait, to break your heart)
Free your mind!
I didn't mean that line before, dear.
I'd lie a thousand times to them before I break
Your heart is worth the waning years to me
I'd walk the sea to be with you again
Please come back.
---
It's not over yet.
Wonder if I'll see you when
All my memories come flashing
Through my mind as I fall
Does he cook you breakfast or
Take you to the city well
That's too bad I suppose
Who, what, where, when
How do I get home from here?
Who, what, where, when
Why should I care about you?
Did I really love you or
Was it just the notion that
I might not be alone
---
Time to turn back in despair
With a bald spot in your hair

I walked through a dark wood
Not knowing what I'd find
So much harder than I realized
To leave your family far behind
But my time is long since past me
My soul is bound in knots
Where fortune hurls her broken dreams
Like seeds of grain they're sought
And the tree cried "Hey there, Mr. P.
Why must thou twist and mangle me?
Can't you see I'm doing the best I can?"
Well so I pled "Save me!" to the trees.
"Can you get me on back to Tennessee?
That's where my love and I did lie."
Wait a minute
How did I get to this place of darkness
How did I fall to this depth of sadness
How do I undo this bout of madness
How do I break through and see the light?
How do I break through and see the light?
How do I break through and see the light?
Do you still keep your kingdom
Safe in the back row?
I would kill just to see you again
Maybe that's the problem...
Wait a minute
How did I get to this place of darkness
How did I fall to this depth of sadness
How do I undo this bout of madness
How do I break through and see the light?
How do I break through and see the light?
How do I break through and see the light?

What will they say, dear
When the wild flowers die?
Did we give too much to our children
And spoil the soil dry?
Seven deadly wonders
To keep under wraps
Four plus me plus you plus good old
Charlotte's circus rat
One to heat the funeral pyre
And one to wish it was her fire
Another casts his lot for clothes
The body lies there growing cold
My vice is patience
My virtue is fear
Of all our seven wonders
I never thought I'd find you here
Pyramids of Giza
Transfixe for all to see
Metamodern symbols
Eternal slavery
Maybe I could clear my head
Or maybe I should sleep instead
Or maybe I can live again
If I stopped wishing I was dead
---
I love you
I hate you
I want you
But I don't believe you
When you tell me I have something special
No one else has ever been
When you call a spade a spade
With just a few cards in your hand
When you separate this music
From the simple fascination
Of sharing life on earth with 7 billion human beings
