Intangible 01:20
stuck behind intangible barriers must reprocess how to administer the love and support they say to find a way back to yourself but have they ever seen a closed off path? break throughs don't come easy now
2.
Filtered 00:59
Wait! Disconnect! Desperate. Expired seconds from a stolen minute. Screen defeat on repeat. On and on... Forget all memories. Commit to fantasy and never see the sun's unfiltered reprise shine down on me. No opportunity to wake up from this fever dream. Anchored by ads and perfect smiles, pulling from under screen. Selling the shit you'll never need to make life more complete. It never ends. It never works out that way. Can't understand? Lost in the palm of your hand.

The Pit II 00:59
hoy podríamos bailar (al mismo ritmo) y espero que mañana sea igual un viento frío nos va a acariciar todo lo colorido va a contrastar y a brillar (hoy) vasos vacíos, el piso va a calmar esto no es algo más el camino tiene calor tiene una luz
4.
Signaling 01:03
hide behind tending sounds my grievance lurks in dark words rain our trenches muddy til we’re crawling from your [re]marks only evidence a wrapper, that you pocketed as a trophy of a kill while I ‘tell secrets’ [of how] your actions don’t match words power is a guillotine (keep me at bay) my heads beneath your blades for many spirits killed silently (just say her name) why must I be executed to save all them under your shadow illuminate their names you’ll be seen for what you are; A virtue signaling farce with all your trust in this world
5.
Like a hooded death figure graced with the sweetest voice that's ever lured fresh game to its economic plate. Baring fangs oh so enticing. Supply and demand. Crushed by laissez faire's hand. Intricate natures formed from greed, supposedly backed by numbers, are the walls of our home. A locked box with no windows. An invisible prison of economic proportions.

Ropewalker 00:50
i cant tell you the future or the sins of the past i dont have any reason to choose to expect this to last paint a portrait of this time in your life or sink yourself into endless planning find the ways to play tricks on your mind leave your sanity far behind i cannot tell you the future or the damning sins of the past i don't have any reason to choose to expect this to last
7.
Reach 00:56
swept out to sea no place to anchor me can’t find my bearings the horizon is out of reach so i’ll ride these waves with no ground to break desire keeps swelling never to dissolve
8.
Motives 00:53
They want you to die they’ve wanted you to die i didn’t care til i realized that they would kill me too! just to get to you Now , i guess i care that they want you to die . they You me i Lots of different terms we use To weigh, feign, and sever ties what is useful , what is true what centers me and leverages you? Now , i guess i care Since i can leverage you
9.
I fear that you may have been right Nighttime stumble Daytime warmth Functional yet dependent I never wanted to be this way Wide awake 3am remorseful Over ill-spent quick fixes For the dread of daily living. And yet the next day wide awake I'm perfectly content To await the next occasion To celebrate.
10.
I never calculated the price of my concern You were crushed by the weight I'm Sorry Sometimes the expectation of nothing is too much to bear
11.
Backpacks 00:20
I appreciate the effort I believe you care But haven’t we learned so much In the past year Stop the hygiene theater
12.
Small, curled knuckle A larger palm taking pressure of tenser fingers Stay alert, stay alive, gentle lids, open eyes Trickled rain from ends of hair I pass to you Navigates both skins Breath restored Two heaving chests Clouds darken in a torrent.
13.
As A Mayfly 01:12
As a mayfly done with love Opting out of unassailable purpose Insensitive, Numb We could do with some more poison How the trees frame the curve of the shoreline Shivering—Neutered in the cold Another line slowly defined
14.
Granmamare 00:58
setting suns set on my own paint the stars color of bone wherewithal, ready to fall candy cane dreams adore the call lace hewn smiles ring true velvet gown covers me til i'm safe again now til I'm safe you're my fate never had a face til then I'm safe don't burn out til then I'm safe now I'm inside safe
15.
Venus 00:58
I want to cut away at my flesh Figure unwanted by the mass Venus was a vision of beauty Why can’t that be me When will I stop fighting and allow myself to be
16.
Passing By 01:24
I remember when when you told me To take everything one step at a time, One day at a time To be comfortable with the uncomfortable Is truly what it means to be strong I will carry that with me all the days of my life With you, I am in good hands
17.
Sublimation 01:32
pushed over the edge time and time again fragmented remains no one left to blame embedded into my intestines an everlasting sickness vertigo from the whirlwind permanently unsettled resilience wearing thing i anticipate whispers and tremble have fun breaking down all the walls i put up for you
18.
Augie 01:15
fix this how to fit this feel this how to heal this. unnerving visions from my former— of another.
19.
This one’s done. It’s really been decided. A building, a breaking. Yeah this one’s gone to stay. Pushed it further than anyone could see. Too many years (too disconnected) too deep. And with these words a love laid to waste. No future, no present, and broken past. Past introspection, I pushed it away. It’s all over, it’s dead. Yeah this one’s done.
20.
Lilac 01:23
Built upon self doubt and regret Isolation breeds destruction Medication brings separation Repurposing the walls of my mind helps to find a better tomorrow An Isolated coward Medicated in regret Repurposing the mountains Rehousing these walls in my mind Sitting here in silence Ear shattering noise decay Sitting here in silence Ear Shattering noise decay
21.
Threaded 01:31
2% of national wealth means most adults my age hardly afford themselves. What does this say for the lives we make and the paths to raise ppl will take? Incentivized ownership and no subsidies for health looks a whole lot to me like feudalism in stealth! The less debt’s erased the more hands it takes to pave a way for a kid the same. Baby me easily could have been raised in a house of only working women. Blended families of siblings and cousins are only growing less uncommon. Talking abt who “games the system” makes you sound like a politician. Everyday brings a new lesson to learn from immigrants and their children. It’s not hard to imagine communal parenting as a future norm created by scarcity and instinct. If yr visions of the future don’t include poverty then it will be very tough indeed to make me give a fuck abt what you think. I know the needle has been threaded and that we’re on our way backward, it’s impossible to forget it. A child w four mothers, all roommates, could be the best thing for this nation, I said it. (I said it)

Wsup W Ya 02:07
I’m a quicker picker upper motherfucker Nigga I’m not these other suckers You my nigga so I know exactly wsup w ya Day by day I watched you set up this picture Day by day I watched the problem get bigger But dipping on you I would never consider I’m not a nigga who be switchin I’m the nigga that’s here to listen Also I just be minding my business So come out w it Lettin niggas in despite all the shit that u holding in though its over with A lesser man would never understand A lesser man would burst like a dam A lesser man would never comprehend that faith in this plan is not no fuckin scam On the other hand we making the band doing what we can while we feel we cant Lookin yr own face in the mirror wishing you could see what we see Wishing to be free of mortality Wishing to be free of anxiety Wishing to be free from yearning for peace and earning a seat at success’ feast and searching for release at Jesus’ feet and coarsely screaming pleas for eternal sleep You know I dont mean I see everything or have an understanding of each feeling Whether clear or in the lines’ in-between Each of these things matter to me You dont have to tell me everything but I cant know or say nothing Nigga i’m all in on yr well-being Each of these things matter to me
23.
Hat in hand Does this impress Without a plan Does this impress Half read More damage done Brain dead But you feel better Hat in hand Who benefits Without plan Who benefits

Kanoelani 01:26
I leave my room and turn on the lamp sitting on the night stand, even though I know you won't be coming home with me. But I still want it lit for you. A safety beacon that won't be seen. You're gone now and this hope for that past leaves me hollowing. My palm would lay flat with five fingers splayed out to set on your stomach. Followed by my head to lay in the place where I used to feel safe. Your name means heavenly mist.
25.
Demerol 01:42
I can't explain the logic of the sick to the healthy And I don't have the energy to try I'll stay and medicate Pray to God for Demerol I did something terrible
26.
Murkfiend 01:19
toil til nothing is left to take give up on your needs to end this constant punishment will the loop ever close? all they will want from you is everything you have that can be assigned value you'll never see they dont want you to bend they want to see you break it was never about your identity only what they could take only what they will take
27.
Foreshadows 01:17
Sifting through lost messages in time Plotting futures long abandoned Scanning between lines For symptoms Fore/shadows laying deep within Indications of demise Losing games So grim The final straw, slapped on a broken back Our history is no buffer for personal attacks Resentment supersedes all moods Time infects all wounds Now you're a stranger And you've never been stranger You wanted substance Well the substance got you
28.
Whipporrwill 02:17
On lost words we found new meaning the symptoms we supressed do return on lost words meant no significance the symptom of nothing have been learned all these changes and nothing changes no foundation to build upon asphyxiating buried under the weight
