I, Organism

What if we were wrong about everything
Thought up some ideas in bed
Awoke from a sleep into all of our broken
I, Organism pledge
Not to believe
Not to deceive
But only to know when it’s time to leave
Waste not want not, pick it up
I, Organism pledge
Photon slips and electron trips
Photon slips through the tiny slit
White light in your brain
Pink noise on your hip
I, Organism pledge
Walkin around, slicing the ground
Lookin at your feet which have bled
Gliding smooth in black water
Purple velvet throat pulls a thread
Stranded in the station alone again
No one to call the battery’s dead
Photon slips and electron trips
Photon slips through the tiny slit
White light in your brain
Pink noise on your hip
I, Organism pledge

If you go nowhere
You must go everywhere
Gotta wonder
When the opiates’ll hit the food
Soon as LeMerck fucks ‘Santo
What’ll moondust do for you
Same as broom dust do for you
Get you some boom dust
Doodely dooooooooo…
Crack of thunder
Gotta wonder when
Will we spill
Over the pot
And into the flame
What’ll space dust do for you
Same as lame justice do for you
Get you some space lust
Doodely dooooooooo…
If you go nowhere
You must go everywhere

Daily Diet
03:40
|

Knock it on the head
The shock of what you read
The barrage of stupid senselessness
Climb out the rabbit hole you dread
Bullets whizzing by your head
The new wave a-crashing, all see red
Always crashing in the same car
Maybe if I wish upon a star
Take another on the chin
You daily diet, they cash in
Wash me clean
Show another ad
You ain’t sold me yet
Sashay around the bend
Cards on the table, place your bet
Take another on the chin
You daily diet, they cash in
Wash me clean

Get It
01:44
|

Get it
Get the next thing
Get it get it get it get it get it get it get it
Get the next thing
Everyone’s a lamb
Walking toward stranger things
Keep your head down
Cross the street
Middle sentence
Get lifted off your feet
And fly
Everyone’s a lamb
Flying through the air
Racing head in hand
Racing toward the slaughter
With a smile and a tan
Check the light and look down
Slap back, airbag, and a spin around
Made it home
To let the fridge know
That the doorbell needs unwound
Tell that boy to duck his head down

Violet

He will kiss her dreams away
She’s falling through a purple haze
She won’t hit the ground
He will bite her on the ass
And she won’t take it very crass
She knows the bruise will fade
Visions of a violet sky
Reflected in the color of his eyes
Wonder if he can tell
Hover in the viper’s gaze
He’s sinking in convoluted phrase
But he will not drown
She listens with short attention span
He explains in the way of all of man
She won’t make a sound
She stares at a tiny horizon line
That runs across his forehead and down his spine
To a tail that wraps around
Visions of a violet sky
Swirl in river deep, mountain high
How much more before she decides
To ring the bell

Full Disclosure
03:40
|

Guess I’ll just lock it up now
Nothing else to be done now
Expository society
Exposition and you lie to me
Expose it all and you bore me
I can’t find my way to this
Surveil me when I knock on your door
Tail me as I crawl on your floor
I can’t find my way to this
Guess I’ll just lock it up now
Nothing else to be done now
Surveillance nation, oh so free
You gave it all up so willingly
Surveil me and you lie to me
For a good time call out some cruelty
Voluntary disclosure
Let me tell you something—

In the melting sun
There’s nowhere to run
Let me put my arms
Around the one
If the furnace aims to burn us
Swim
The sea within
To see within
Finds the way out
Now we sleep all day
Because no escape
Inhabit the night
Changing our shape
In the rising seas
There’s the acid breeze
Let me find a place
To put my grief
In the blazing sun
There’s nowhere to run
Let me put my arms
Around the one

This Place
01:31
|
|||
When the dam breaks
Will the flood wake you
It’s happening in this place
When the planet spins us off
To another show
No one to blame but ourselves
It’s happening
In this place
And the murders of crows
Watch because they all know
And the parliament of owls
Comes to give us a bow
And a kiss off
And the cackle of hyenas
Laugh because they all know
Only a matter of time till we piss off

My Pictures of Me
01:38

Smile smile smile smile smile
All you see is my smile smile smile
No need to read
Just looky at me
Why can’t you see all these pictures of me
I’m all up in your feed
Duck lips, hair and my need
All my lunches, all my locations
All my feelings, all my frustration
I’m so free! Here it is, me
Long shots, close-ups and teeth
All you ever dreamed of
Front, back and between
Yippee.

The Tethering
03:07
|
|||
Take your obsessions in other directions
Your worries get fueled by misapprehension
Interpreting badly your body’s reaction
Not farfetched when grenades are concussion
With a camera in your microwave
Beware yourself, it’s what you crave
Thumbing words to your friends
The tethering never ends
Lobotomize the liars, excise the flaws
Comfort the criers, retracting the claws
The priests and the friars hold—safe in their arms?
“Wait until the crowd cries”
Honey says, “walk barefoot, look out for the shards”
Grass soft on the wide side can turn and cut hard
Honey says “walk barefoot” and I went too far
Edges, flip the record, stab the meat
Side one is a screw loose
Side two is defeat
Side three is machinery rattling around
Till it goes off the rails, try to batten it down
Side four is instrumental
With a camera in your microwave
Beware yourself, it’s what you crave
Thumbing words to your friends
The tethering never ends
Wait until the crowd cries
Honey says “walk barefoot, look up at the stars”
Vast velvet blanket pokes holes in the scars
Honey says “walk barefoot,” and I went too far

Krakatoa
02:18

One mark
To start
On the way to the upside
Vulture swoops in and cleans up the mess
Suck a bone clean on the way to redress
One spark
To start
Wanna be an inferno
1000 steps home with a bag of bones
Mama vulture gonna rearrange ‘em all alone
The hits keep coming but don’t ya know
You’re gonna crack it wide open like a lava flow
Like Krakatoa, like Krakatoa, like Krakatoa, like Krakatoa
One word
That’s heard
On the way to the upside
Vultures catch a thermal
I’m along with the ride
Clean up the mess
And glide
Swoop swoop
Rock rock
