The excavators hang their head to rest on the ground in defeat
I didn't see what they saw
I tthink my brain is full of many metal tubes
I wonder what it sounds like when they feel your touch
I imagine they make a sound from every ridge of your fingerprint
But makes a sound like a fairy blowing air across the top of a glass bottle
And when you smash it with a hammer
My head rings out as a hollow bell
Familiar, fades into the comfort of the southern twang of reversed southern guitar
"oh yeah I, got a heart of darkness"
The machines smash their head into the ground now
They are made for digging but they will break up the ground now
Smash smash smash smash smash smash
It's always amber around here.
Got to keep my eyes open lest we run into a metal wreckage
Going so fast, i want to arrive
Any small thing in the road can stop us
I don't know if your eyes are open
I imagine opening my door to jump out if the car will crash
Does tthat protect me more or less?
Do I choose to die in the street crushed under the foot of others or crumple inside a metal cage?
Unfortunately, everyone is special
So many times I pass through and don't see these things
When was I here before? It's amber again
I remember I met with a man at the river here.
The same one that kissed me at the ocean. I didn't want that
Did he know I was afraid to drown In the water?
I'm not strong enough to drown anyone but myself.
I did so many things that made me afraid
And now he doesn't know me. He never really knew me.
I should have taken a chance to eat a salted lemon before I left but I didn't.
Now I'm 3 hours in and my mouth is feeling dry
I didn't take my medicine just to see what would happen (I took my medicine just to see what would happen)
I wanted to plant you but you looked just like a wildflower weed
My press on nails are all on all right except for my right middle finger
And I wasn't trying to be crude but a force made the decision for me to show you what's going on
Ive nnever had an original thought and never had an original feeling
Tigers in the sky with light beams
That's an exit off of I 35
You'd know about it if you saw it while I was writing it down
Pavements got me imagining snipers on the billboards I pass
If only i was important enough to be assassinated
I think I'd be the life of the party
I like all the things I can think about when someone is driving me around
Listening to pavement and wondering if they are holding off from talking to me because they know I have things in my ears
I figure they would just start talking and hope I get the memo but I'm not sure
My sister sends me a text thay just says "no"
Oh yeah I wanted to know if she had a lot that I had to pay to park in
You know, he claims to like all this music for the lyrics, the lyrics that meander and tip oe around the meanings and never really tell you what they are taking about, and yet he get mad when I don't get to the point
If he liked the lyrics for the journey, you would think he'd be fine going on the journey with me verbally
I think he can't wrap his mind around my dreams. I can't blame him for requiring an explanation of the point.
When the angels made themselves seen and known, they also needed to simplify their appearance, or else we would be afraid
All concepts need to be watered down to be understood
Not everyone can fully Process what it is to behold something that is This
I am not as a person, but an entity
I am. As I've always thought I have been
But different than I knew
But it's all fine, it's alright
It doesn't make me alone, it makes me just as the rest of exkstence is
I'm more a part of it than ever now
And you can view me from afar if you want to
But I wish that you'd shut up and become a part of me already
The taste of China sign is burned out
It just says 'taste of CIA"
We ddrive past a Starbucks and I remember a time I was on a road trip with my dad driving from Odessa to Austin. We stopped for an hour and I wrote an essay for high school on my phone.
Athickness bbuilds in my throat. Am I dying
Am I being forgotten about already
I imagine fading into nothingness.
I imagine a car driving into my skull. I imagine you shooting me in the head. I imagine you punching my temple and my skull explodes across the kitchen.
One day I will be truly forgotten
And it's fine, it's all fine, it's all right, it's alright
I was always borrowing everything I own
