I only have an ear for a drama surfacing
'Cause it does not require a critical thinking
It's pathetic to crave this gossiping
To believe it makes this city more interesting
To speculate if it's new romance or if it's a fling
Without awareness commentating is belittling
Decode noise
What's the point?
Loudest voice
Self exploits
But there are ways to hide hostility in feeds
And keep on scrolling, no engaging
The hunt goes on and on
Though no one knows
A gatherer can separate the poison
Mentally, meant to bleed, mentally
It's a tragic wreaking havoc in this habitat
Your blood can't handle the heat
Your blood boiling
It all may be moot
No matter the subject we'll walk a nightmare
(It's pathetic to crave this gossiping
To think it makes this city interesting)
Decode noise
What's the point?
Loudest voice
Self exploits

Fifty riffs you write in a week
Can't memorize when brain's fried
Processing every line
Skip five I might
Far to define
7 over 8 time
Processing every line
With a wandering mind
Hands and head fight
A failed genetic design
Body conflicting with this tenacity
How embarrassing to have
Nothing as grand to bring
Sixty songs we play in a week
Can't mute the strings when melting
I'm melting into the couch
I'm melting speech from my mouth
Processing every line
Skip five I might
Far to define
7 over 8 time
Processing every line
With a wandering mind
Hands and head fight
A failed genetic design
Body conflicting with this tenacity
How embarrassing to have
Nothing to present to you, nothing
Writing for those willing to listen but don't relate
And those who relate don't listen to noise we make
The louder they are then the more they compete
They steer all the crowds while I sit in the back seat
I'm the underdog (the cog) in an unplugged machine
I'll never know what's wrong with me

Didn't know I, I needed light to endure this environment
There you were peaking through the patterns of tangled branches
Beaming brighter like a wildfire
You left no rubble for me so I'll hold extra tightly to memories
Maybe we connected most on contentious comedy
Or chords in perfect harmony, they'll always be with me
And maybe more will hear you sing Title Fight-like poetry
Hope you have good company wherever you may be

When the river runs red through the cracks
There's a killer in my head
Plotting carefully to protect itself
When the others call it an attack
If you burn down the trees
You may wind up dead to me
If you pollute the air I breathe, then
You develop my disease
If you accuse irrationally, then
I'll end up in therapy
Pull my tongue out keep it in the freezer
You want it out of me, a mouth of vacancy, yeah
No reciprocity built to love
Fighting the urge to defend what?
(Fighting the urge to defend what?)
Am I good enough for you?
Am I ever going to be good enough?
If you burn down the trees
You may wind up dead to me
If you assume it's bleeding weak, then
You destroy my self-esteem
If you reduce my reasoning, then
I'll release myself with scream

Beds Becoming Coffins

I watched the medicine pushing into your veins
I caught the doctor's disapproving look on his face
'Cause each minute dedicated to someone else can come off as a waste
I sure do hope the pigs in suits drown into the sea of the guilty
What's bad news when anything and everything is already shitty?
I can only carry you for so long
'Til empathy's empty and my arms go numb
Beds growing hollow at the hospital
Beds becoming coffins at your funeral
We bleed for nothing
(Nothing is not for free)
While they wear our money
(Money is gone from me)
From CT scams, obfuscated plans
It's not surprising
I count the rows and rows of headstones surrounding me
I read the missing goodbye as a mystery
I sure do hope the pigs in suits drown into the sea of the guilty
What's bad news when anything and everything is already shitty?
