Lurch

Spilled the milk, can't deter the will
Wish you heard me still
Murder zilch, earned this pill
Burned my final meal
Silence on the block
Try to endure a chill
And thoughts that do not stop
Unsteady with the reel
I should probably not...
A feral dog behind my eyes
Inside a fog I duly lie a lot
Heights that I desire
Reside within a void a mile long
I'm too tired to fight or run
Cry then write entire song
Well beneath the mire
Murky depths obscure right and wrong
Strongest hate in haste
Shake it off and proceed
Wake to a familiar taste
Relief when it returns just to engulf me
A valid point, Diogenes
I aspire to a dog on the outside
But I'm just human unconditionally
In such a state it's hard to disappoint
I know what to expect, disintegration of my joints
When all else fails...

Ice on my screen
Wine in my blood
I give no fucks
No, I give no fucks
Grant for me peace
Clear from me muck
I care too much
Watch me pull up tardy
Frozen in the corner in no party
Pulled the wool for comfort
Recognise my need for calming
Exercise my present vice
Can’t deny I need to buy it
My field of vision tight
I can feel division
Far too much escapes my sight
Flag I tow whiter than lines
Lies expel that system
Index fingers push deep into eyes
Cry at your own risk
Bulbous blunt straining my wrist
Lacerations form a prism
Crush my hope beneath my fist
This is indecision
Still on my bullshit
Ice on my screen
Wine in my blood
I give no fucks
No, I give no fucks
Grant for me peace
Clear from me muck
I care too much
I can’t help but dwell on my insignificance
Vapid breaths between the bells
Beside myself, unduly in a pit
Adorn my shell with cruelest images
Jewelled interior, induced delirium
More anxious than I seem
Retreat for periods, bitter to cells nobody needs
Two eyes to leer at you, you see me out my seat
My stride inferior, in my chest a steady beat
A pace I cannot keep, I’m wearier
Just let me sleep

Back to bank I lean, trenches bind my wings
Mud surrounds my knees, wade through pettiness
Lost the form of sleep, marks upon my skin
Why's my soul so meek?
Retreat into my keep, wilfully
Wistful heap, wounded, blistering
Gift me sleep, wish for pause and reach
Truthfully, I flee from current me
Cross me slumped, looming form of frailty
Weakness won't leave me be
Pale ghost inside my head
Male boast out from my pen
Days choke, contain my flesh
Actions don't precede intent
These twigs will form my nest
Heat brings me out my bed
Weed keeps me on my legs
Please keep my heart beating inside my chest
Without her by my side, it might have come to end

Blis[ter]s

Applied meaning hit me with waves of calm and seething
Denied a reason, I’ll have to be fine for the time being
Came incorrect, never conveyed what I meant
Boulder above the bed knocks me out nightly
Stain on the boot, ask for the loot nicely
Stomach full of soup, the tree root is too pricey
Pebble in my shoe choose to spite me
I stomp it in two, push the thorn deeper in my side
Force a chill down my spine
Friction forms a blister
Wrist colder than Winter
One of three things I would wish for
Friction forms a blister
Wrist colder than Winter
One of three things I could wish for
Viewed the bigger picture, wish I didn’t
It filled me with indecision
I decided not to listen
Now is not the time to have opinions
Dig my thumbs into the swisher
This is temporary bliss and I will miss it
This is temporary bliss and I will miss it
This is temporary bliss and I will miss it
This is temporary…
Swallow potent words
Wallow in the herb I smoke
Like Californian fire scorched the earth
And if it could, it wouldn’t warn you first
When your place is uncertain
You’re quickly forced to learn
Upon the land that I observe
To there I surely will return

Defeat
03:16
|

Take heed, kind words to repeat
Not so kind in the heat
My kind used to defeat
Sophistry bores holes in your feet
And it's tiring me
Out here I observe the entirety
Street level with a wealth of needs
Knees settle on a rhythm rather steady like a silent string
Never ready for when quiet ends
Shine a light deep within my being
Hope I don't get stuck here in a pinch
In this realm, all I can do is whinge
Inner self screams “tired of this shit”
Outer shell, young and frail, subdued by the switch
Well deepens as my heart's within reach of my hip
I'm in need of a spliff, I'm in need of a kilo of piff
Equipped the earth, now my boulder is chipped
It's a burden to need meaning to live
At it's worst, it's a curse to exist
My search beyond heads in the dirt
With my face inside shirt
And I hurt within known universe
I've been trying to earn a life lived on my terms
But my words beside worth
My words beside worth
Take heed, kind words to repeat
Not so kind in the heat
My kind used to defeat
Sophistry bores holes in your feet
And it's tiring me

Lens

Devil on my chest
Quick descent left deep impressions then
Curse under my breath
View the world through dark suppressive lens
Grovel at my best
Flourish within deep depression
Comprehension scarred my vision
I can't seem to see the end
Scarf around my neck is wound to keep the cold inside
At night I roll around my bed
Sleep is wasted time and I'm approaching death
Still life's a chore for no reward
I'm worse at coping than them
I'm worse at coping than the rest
It's just a test of patience
Still hard to keep a level head
Use of restraint is basic
Most realisations what I should have said
Too late but I cannot contain my stress
I'm meant to keep the mess within a form you could trace with a pen
But my mechanisms faulty and right now I'm stuck with them
Devil on my chest
Quick descent left deep impressions then
Curse under my breath
View the world through dark suppressive lens
Grovel at my best
Flourish within deep depression
Comprehension scarred my vision
I can't seem to see the end
Furrowed brow the cherry sat atop my scowl
Whip in my face hangs from my crown
Scar me ’til I cry aloud
Mark me on unblemished ground
In spite of doubt I shed my silent shell when no-one’s round
To witness taps turn into pounds
This gate is shut, I’ll wait it out

Serpentine
02:52
|
|||
Earnest in new phases
Learned to read a body
Analyse the looks upon new faces
Before I flee, I scurry
Organise my pain into a cadence
Revel in the wake of waves of worry
Instructions on a page that could be changed by anybody
Stars will test my patience
Waiting makes me sluggish
Eyes resent the pavement
Carve into it nothing
I await the day when I can think of something
Dwell upon a state I shouldn't end up in a hurry
Careful with your name, it could get sullied
My conjecture on the page is stained and bloody
Snakes evade my gaze and stick it to me
Vultures take their time, circle above me
I retreat inside, my hollow's comfy

Alien
01:57
|

Pull and shift so quickly
Tow the spliff how Ripley grips a stick
Eventual perdition
Drew me back into the midst of petty business
Watch me bite my lip
A shock to put my funk into remission
Held my tongue…
What the fuck is this and why's my armour missing?
Pain silence my fist
Delayed aggression, I'm not made for this
Veiled expression, anguish on the skin
Supposed lesson
I don't listen, I can't focus
Hopeless, trust in potent piff
Mind an anchor swinging side to side
Pardon my existence
Heart is sinking ship

Stood tall to spite impediments
Curveball spins like Regulus
Charred hands reap no benefit
Holster on the hip
Providence a myth
Don’t know shit to keep clandestine
Stoke the fire with a hurried kiss
Fresh air slapped me on the wrist
Future could be looking grim
I can sense the scent of death upon on the wintry wind
You have sinned
At such a depth you can only ascend
I am lonely and tense
Despite the L, here is Z
Not doing well
If I depart I’d bite the dust by sunset
Stay in my shell
Kush coma passes time as I protest
Seems I was under quite a spell
Loud thoughts that I detest
All I can do is lie still
Question the vigour and the steel
In myself is a fear
See you in hell
Etch the years in a belt
Freedom is near
Summon the vier with a bell
Told the self: “you should not have come here”
Equipped a spear and a pelt

Drench
02:31
|
|||
Geyser sprays out the flesh
Quiet waves of unrest
Shy possum, I too am on the fence
Reluctant quite often, icy palms inside pockets
My complexion masks the red, scoff until I start to vomit
Avoidance is a fine option
Hide a cough deep in my neck like I wasn't
Can't show signs of weakness
Scene outside is bleakest yet
Got to check my spine is solid
It’s hard to get up out of bed, why bother?
Death is destined, bet I double checked
(Veer from the mirror by default
Worked my fingers to a fault
Then I got my hand stuck in the salt
As it burns, my voice I hold
Nervous hold on an adult frame
Searching for stability and change
Await inevitable sulk
Grip upon my neck, lead with one shy step)

The Sun
02:47
|

Yawning at the sun
I guess because it’s been a short while
Caught within the crossfire
Fanned the sullen bonfire
Look what I have done
Not performative enough
Just communicate in short lines
Sometimes
Can’t define the moment as it moves by
Crawling toward the sun
Anxious from the odours
Agonised in confines
Panic grips the focus
I feel hopeless with this blurred eye
I’m trying to mind mine
Recollect the hum
Collect the funds and cop
Speaking of, observe them from a distance
Got the jitters
Tide is mighty high and I be rolling with it
Getting too old for decisions
And can’t quit shit
This city probably won’t miss us
Yawning at the sun
I guess because it’s been a short while
Caught within the crossfire
Fanned the sullen bonfire
Crawling toward the sun
Look what I have done
Not performative enough
Just communicate in short lines
Sometimes

Yearning spawned from loneliness
Earnings bought a lonesome death
I caught the scent
The trail stretched from A to Z
I chased, my voice escaped with breath
I pay respects to those unsent
Livid gods are unrelenting, views expensive
Rumour has it you could witness
Anything that they could conjure into pictures
I wrestle with indecision
Sprouted wings and blew emissions
On the wind, detect a whiff of potency
Not doing what I’m supposed to be
And nothing soberly
Racked the groceries
City’s lost its glimmer, shit is gross to me
Born in Winter, cold enough to hear my teeth
Close my eyes and twist my fingers
I’m Poseidon, watch it glisten
Flourish in the deep
Well in silence, sing me into sleep
Always tired, pressure never ceased
Depression instrumental
Like the weather, temperamental
Melbourne smothers all potential
Suffocate in mouldy rental
It’s not even safe to beg
Separate an arm and leg
You must take to get
Fill the void in vacant chest
Every word’s a waste of breath
I’m also excess

Harbour
02:12

Herd me to inaction
I could never summon ways to face the facts when
I am but a slave to waves of passion
Submerge me past my lackings
That manifest as fiends, deafen with clanging
Bring me to my knees, I breathe in patterns
Weave relief and scatter peace
Shattered windows on a building buried deep
Shards drawn to my spine, inside is me
Unsteady grip on leased keys
Darkest off my vice, I've tried to be
Weakness is the price, don't fight with me
Red round my feet
Step in the rain, nostrils dripping from the heat
Spend a minute panicked as it seeps
Fresh out a fluster, tend to roll my weed
To quell the beast that churns my stomach, makes me weak
Cheek toward the wretched
Just shy of a mention
Lie in a pile, too tired for extension
My harbour will beckon
My harbour will beckon
Harbour greed, marred by my humanity
When my father had to catch a fish to eat
Miss me ‘less you’ve been condemned to be
Sedate myself to venture past my reach
