Sweat drips off my bottle onto the floor.
Dog standing tall.
Walls breathing out and in and out again.
Day spent awake.
Brain starts to push and pull and push again.
Your skin melts right through the bed.
A chill strikes right through your head.
Lights on, lights off, on again.
Hands pulling elastic skin.
Feel the blood flow through your veins.
Shallow breath, eyes dilate.
Sweat drips into your eyes.
Heart beats fast in the place it occupies.
Skin stretching over your rib cage.
Lungs expand and fill with air and
your heart starts beating at a quicker pace.

Crew

I've gone bad for the crew.
What's good for me, not good for you.
Can I tell you a little secret?
It's one that you knew; I'm falling to pieces.
Dog standing on my back I'm walking
Hoping she comes down and starts talking.
Telling me that it will be okay.
Reassuring there will be more days.
I'm caught in between myself
Want to see you, can you tell?
Something woke me up last night.
Terrified, bolted up right.
It must have been a bad dream
No longer in my memories.
Heart rate returns to normal.
Lie back down and feel the earth.
Rotating underneath me.
Let myself drift back to sleep

The Dog

I’ve been simmering, it’s all I remember.
I’m used to it now. I’m used to it now.
Letting simple days reduce and dissipate.
You showed me how. I know you showed me how…
How to let pressure build up in your brain.
Steam converted to the venom of a snake.
Good dog plays dead, plays fetch, sits and he stays.
Good dog bears her teeth and scares the snake away
over the hill and through the tall grass. There she goes.
Constantly feeling some sort of bubbling in my veins.
Pressure builds and it will break my arteries. Who’s to blame?
Can’t blame the dog for blaming itself for blaming the snake.
Can I blame myself for every little thing, every single mistake?
Try to multiply. Divide all of yourself.

Tracing every outline so I will remember it.
The humidity turns to rain that will fall
down on our heads, we'll have to wring out
our clothes, it soaked us right to the bone,
but we can laugh it off, there is no need to
stop, we can continue our walk.
The air is heavy blankets weighing down
on our shoulders, forcing us to lie in the
grass, watching every second pass, my brain
is making memories that I will forget.
It's at the top of my list; please tell me
what did I miss? My thoughts pushing
and pulling with no forgiveness.
A shiver crosses your skin. Where do we
even begin? We'll start by finding the
source of the needles and pins.
Then later on that night, broke a bottle in
my fist and then she stitched me up,
sealed the glass that she missed.
I hope it keeps raining.
Please don't start retreating.
Steam rises from concrete.
That's the only thing I need.
Staggered, shallow breathing.
What could be the reason?
Cold air starts to roll in.
September ends, October begins.
I am keeping track of every single second
Graciously surrender myself
to every seasons change.

Listen to me
Purple ceiling
I will tell you everything
Please just never speak of it
Wanting to be
Gone completely
I'm attempting every way
Working hard to feel nothing
Sticking to me
Sickly feeling
Hoping that my brain waves stop
Unplug it, stat from the top
The dog is gone
Guess I'll move on
Break me into discrete parts
Bury them miles apart

A Simple Feeling
03:36
|
|

I will burn holes right in the back of your eyes.
You won't feel alive like you used to; siphoned your mind.
Take up all your time.
Tell yourself you’re fine.
Trying to survive.
Evil days ahead.
Keep to yourself and don't leave your bed.
Thinking slowly.
Old memories, they own me.
So much so, that I can’t see.
What they're doing to me.
So much so, that I can’t see.
Circle thought catastrophe.
Simple feeling existing in my head.
Purple ceiling fades to blues and then reds.
Shot down my spine and it all starts to change.
Living inside myself, quiet screaming.

Wake me up early
In the morning
My eyes full of sleep
Wash them out for me
It would mean everything
Steam rises up
Clings to everything
I'm still nodding off
Trouble balancing
I’m happy, crawling back in bed.

The Summit
01:28

Light will fade
as we reach the summit.
No one has to know
that we had to stop
before we reached the top
Blankets of snow and ice
There is no sound
Just our crunching steps
Hoping not to slip
Which turn do we take next?
Made it down quick

Own Me

Own me
Melt in to my skin
Control
Everything that I’m in
I don’t seem to mind
Light boils my eyes
Pupils dilate and let more in
I won’t survive

The old road
To the Nine Acre Corner and counting
The old war
memorials as they fade into the warm February day
You were calling out their names
Can they hear what we say?
I am starting to feel better
'bout who I am as of late
Hoping all these thoughts will settle
or start to disintegrate
I know that I have to find a way out
I'm outside staring at the moonshine now
I know that I have to find a way out
All these simple, sweet things make my life feel right
I know that I have to stay the hell out
of circle thought musings, back and forth, oh no
I know that I have to figure it out
A warm February day that breaks the winters cold
