the living iguanas.

I have seen the world and I know all that it devours; I pour out my thoughts after hours. I live quietly amongst the heroes and the cowards.

The truth is a lie in a dinner jacket maybe. And it's been dining with me and my brain on the daily..

[thelivingiguanas]

You can’t teach me like I taught myself how to ignore stars. Like i taught myself I could not reach them. You can’t reach me, I have a sign that says no junk mail. Now i just need one for my brain. You can’t REACH ME WHEN I’M TOO HIGH, OR WHEN I’M TOO LOW. You can reach me like a mile is a stones throw. You can’t teach me metaphorious because I am one (a metaphor). I dont exist. You can’t teach me lies and call them truth, because lies are opaque thin and i am living proof. you cant teach me life because i died whilst transitioning into life. and that’s not such a bad thing. And you can’t be born unless you have been born. And you can’t spell nirvana if you cant spell forlorn. You cant poke holes in me and stick me in the oven. I guess I’ve lost myself so in a way I’ve lost a loved one. You cant rip me apart, I have not been sewn together. You cant see me now and i will not be here forever.

A study analyzing the Finnish homicide and prescription drug databases discovered that the use of certain drugs that affect the central nervous system are associated with an increased risk of committing a homicide. The greatest risk was associated with the use of painkillers and tranquillizing benzodiazepines, while anti-depressants were linked only to a slightly elevated risk. The study is the first one of its kind in the world.

Everyone is afraid: “I will lose the world, my attachments, my relationships, my dear ones.” This is a foolish concept. On the contrary, when you are enlightened you will begin to have really good relationships, even with the animals, even with the plant life. You will love everyone. First enlightenment, then you will be a good human being.

Dream I'm a visitor at the lip of one roller coaster. Tourists in a time capsule. We anticipate horror but it never shows up. The ride is slow. The ride is old. It is clean but it is cold and I am waiting. For it to start.

[thelivingiguanas]

You are not the centre of anything. Nothing is orbiting you. But do you remember as a child when a thousand conkers tumbled to the ground because you knocked at their house with a giant stick and you didn't know it but your soul was beaming?

[thelivingiguanas]

Chest.

I think that sometimes

You forget

That you’re living inside 

My chest

[thelivingiguanas]

You’re not.

If you haven't flicked dust from the eyes of surprise, 

Contained complexity in the death of a sunrise

Then you're not here.

If you haven't woken up broken, psychotic and strange because your brain has discovered that it is just that, a brain.

Then you're not here.

If you haven't cradled the idea that you might be blind,

And raging, and spilling your soul all over the sides

Then you're not here.

That you might have to lose what you're hoping to find 

And in the morning there might be no such fireflies.

Then you're just not eating enough electricity.

 And you're not here.

or is that bullshit

and i should be fighting

throwing words in the faces of those that are doubting 

letting anger become me, and me become it.

IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO THE FUCKING PRESIDENT IS YOU DUMMIES, THAT’S JUST A PERSON, YOU ARE A PERSON. IF YOU WANT CHANGE, GO OUT AND FUCKING CREATE IT! YOU DO NOT HAVE DEPRESSION OR A PERSONALITY DISORDER, YOU ARE A VICTIM OF A SOCIETY WHICH DOES NOT SERVE YOU. YOU ARE TOLD THAT THERE IS SOMETHING’WRONG’ WITH YOUR BRAIN, THAT THERE IS NO CAUSE EXCEPT YOUR BRAIN, BUT THERE IS A FUCKING CAUSE. YOU ARE WIRED TO LIVE IN A COMMUNITY, TO SHARE, TO EAT THE EARTHS FOOD, TO GATHER IT YOURSELF,TO SUPPORT YOUR TRIBE AND HAVE IT SUPPORT YOU IN RETURN. YOU ARE WIRED FOR THIS AND YET YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO LIVE LIKE THIS.THAT’S LIKE PUTTING A FISH IN A BOWL OF AIR AND WHEN IT IS STRUGGLING TELLING IT “HEY FISH, YOU CAN’T SURVIVE IN THERE, HUH? WELL, THERE MUST BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU” THAT DOCTOR WHO TOLD YOU THAT, THEY ARE NOT RIGHT JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE A DOCTOR. THEY ARE JUST A PERSON. REMEMBER YOU ARE A PERSON TOO, AND YOU NEED TO TRUST YOURSELF. THE POWER IS WITH YOU. DON’T LET THESE CUNTS TELL YOU OTHERWISE. IT’S THE BIGGEST MISTAKE WE MAKE, TO LOSE ALL THIS FAITH IN OUR INSTINCTS.

The finger.

I feel like breaking in two

That’s right isn’t it?

Finding something to do?

A little poison, a little plastic, a little look right through?

I will forget my birth knowledge

(The one that speaks in riddles until someone is listening)

Because that’s right, isn’t it? 

Create no sacred space?

Long for another face?

Long to leave no glimmering trace?

Is that right? Is that where the finger points?

Am I doing this right, this being thing? 

Am I exploding with light by looking out and not in?

[thelivingiguanas]

When wailing from fertile lungs

I found

That trees could only eat the sound 

And i found

No answers from the ancient ground 

No new light

Nothing in return
