brave me please a speck of a molecule froze in the last breeze spun til the freeze broke pillars deep inside of me nothing as a barrier everything undone.... ...am i'm sworn to secrecy? i blew my breath down ur back u didn't even answer me, am i sworn to secrecy, forever, now...

.... if we put our hearts & brains out on plates there are contrasts variations but not mistakes would you only see mutations that need alterations medical evaluations ending with anti- some pill or another one day we'll get u some shoes like mine you can walk or skip or run a mile & we'll see if you come back & hide or smile or feel harassed or embarrassed by all the shit you heard & felt & saw i'd call you now & ask for a swap but i'm not really up for it .....

....i left without saying what i really really wanted to say... i hope every day is like this one i hope every day is like one just you & me walking round walking round just you & me acting dumb in love just you & me picking feathers from the sidewalk making little heart maps on the street in blue chalk i hope every day is like this one this one, i hope every day is like this one ...

... i tried to tie a bow with my toe once like that feeling it all unraveling i kinda like being high relaxed mind space sky banner up its kinda like pumpkin pie tasting a little like ash in my breakfast i asked you why time rewinds every time i think i get close to something true ... i recall feeling like this just last night i'm way too short to reach shit & my shirts to tight around my neck hell now how wow i'll throw in a preview i'll be calling you at 2am to tell you i'm see thru & its been a while since someone took a chance on my ass but i'm glad no ones here cause i couldn't take that closeness i'm full of all these little silly contradictions i spit at love & shine the diamond heart thats waiting for it i spit at love then shine the dying heart thats waiting for it ....
5.
... i tried to call you but i'm never on time or maybe time broke when i spoke or tried to say all the things i meant to say the other day while walking ur a little bit rainbow a little bit rain a little bit bow aimed straight at this place where everything collides shifts then obeys ... where are the monsters where is the breeze come on little darlin' slip in this tree with me where are the monsters how is the breeze come on little darlin' slip into the sea with me

undercover 05:33
if it ain't one thing its another mother lock me up for good i don't know about these human things by now i probly should i feel like an undercover alien in jeans no one knows whats underneath no one knows how mean i wanna be... i woke up in a dream you were sitting right next to me, i woke up in a dream, i didn't like the looks of it but i wanted to remember what it felt like here between where you & i were speaking tongues ...

a verb is just a word that gets sick of needing playmates haven't heard space much? what do you think a wave is? wants to stand on its own but is seldom left alone it needs to be attached just to have some meaning doesn't have a say really if it speaks it sounds like ground breaking or fire cracks & few know how to translate that i'm pretty sure i know i can relate a bunch a shit i say is like scrambled up pancakes ...
