burn it all down
so says the so called better me
and im clumsy too soft sticky and glued
everyone is a mess but pulling through
now im stumbling drunk and thinking loud
while the hornets and slugs all dance around
i sat alone in bitter cold
did not learn a thing and i watched the sun
and she watched me the while she ducked
behind all the leaves and water too
erupting in pinkish orange hue
thats how she called the gang
for supper and contemplation games
with personal stories set aside
we absolve in the gorgeous visual light
embracing the silent songs of science
im broken frail and fucked up
shaping the earth with clay and sand
on my throne of dirt and spoiled ham
shoe shined clean cut seasoned man
have you met god do you know of her plan
maticulous she is not
she coats in colors trees and rocks
but mankind gave us books and clocks
concretion it builds like blocks
with open eyes and ears and lungs
the frogless throats and teeth and guns
the famished voice now finally loud
can travel through the sediment shaking the ground (and the crowd)
but silent spring is here
losing the bets weve been placing for years
and mankinds lover turns away
her green too pure for him these days
alone and disparaged we'll all decay
but drop that arrogance boy theres beauty in the world
hide up on a cloud for today
singing solemn songs of my pain
the ants all building castles out of dirt
my love she has grown out of it
and everyone in my life knows her name
her green is overwhelmed by my strain
she has tremendous love for her kin
without a single word she has said
that i will favor strength for my kin
that i will extend lengths for my kin
that i will bleed in towns for my kin
perhaps destroy myself for my kin
yeah i will bleed in towns yeah
then i felt a rush through my blood
finally understood i am her
and everyone is angry at themselves
not nearly enough love for oneself
and everyone is stealing form themselves
and everyones dishonest with themselves
and everyone is voting against themselves
and everyone is killing themselves
and everyone is choking themselves
and everyone is drowning themselves
and everyone is falling for themselves
and everyone is
yeah everyone is
