Alchemy (free) 05:44
A world with no friction can hold no addiction After this point I can make the distinction And I ask myself what have I left to lose? There’s a lump in my throat and it’s too hard to swallow After this point I know not what will follow And I ask myself what have I left to lose? But the alchemist, believes That even I, am golden too And the trips and flus are helping me To pull on through The points have been scheduled and the meetings met monthly I’ve all on my side but his strength won’t confront me And he questions me, is this pillow helping you? My hair stands on end with each breath that I intake I’ve all on my side effects they won’t be mistakes And he questions me, is this pillow helping you? But the alchemist, believes That even I, am golden too And the trips and flus are helping me To pull on through A feeling once fought has now made it full circle The caps been unscrewed and the ants start their work And I ask myself, what have I left to lose? The bugs they have marched but the wiring needs changing Insects alone can’t do all the rearranging And I ask myself, is this the depths last brew?

Optimism 05:38
My grief in movement Belief in improvement The oracle (at Delphi) and I Have never seen, eye-to-eye The fear is here and I try I can’t yet see the patterns Darkness lacking lanterns My thesis doubled down Modal stress covered frown Dispositions don’t confound Optimism, best be cautious

Home 05:23
It’s cold on this train, and I’ve got miles, to go Extremes call my name, whisper to me, we’re one and the same But I know, I’m not home Yes I know, I’m not home In David is, the best, a room could give The tar’s on my heel, a sitting string, the way I feel But I know, I’m not home Yes I know, I’m not home But I know, I’m not home Yes I know, I’m not home Yes I know, I’m not home Yes I know, I’m not home

Table’s square, but I draw circles round it Walls are warm, we feel Faces mine, but I can’t control the hands Numbers up then down But my brain knows, the fan can only ask me Air that’s blown, will heal And pills alone, can’t change what’s coming out of The headphones, inside The shelves are full, of books and band-aids Tearing off, left bear Physical, never talked about till now, Once it’s out, it helps But my brain knows, the fan can only ask me Air that’s blown, will heal And pills alone, can’t change what’s coming out of The headphones, inside Counting the centers of Hell, Tests and Pavlovian bells Skinner skinned his cat to see how it’d react For me it’s wondering where I’m at

New York 03:27
The darkness of the tunnels contrast brightness of the signs Time is square and buildings they poke holes into the sky Speed is of the essence or least we’re led to believe An effective of our diffusion of responsibility These observations on a brown paper bag make one forget, The pain secured on like a sails tag And they say money fixes problems And these sights make me believe that it is true. I close my eyes but find no sleep the cities name prevents While the yellow flashes by the population does condense Nick and all the other seem to have fell between the cracks A glaring illustration of what society does lack These observations on a brown paper bag make one forget, The pain secured on like a sails tag Is this progress or regression? The reply’s still in the air While the cameras they flash brightly so we all can remember And they say money fixes problems And these sights make me believe that it is true.

Humans weren’t built to travel near this fast Without a doubt I’m headed for a crash Terminal terminals they paint on my air mask Take offs and landing run away as the task Screech of tires as I touch down Baggage checked as I check the sound Snap of fingers like a light turned on Drone continues but the flight attendant’s gone
8.
Gravel Path 04:21
Gravel path, gravel path Will be last, of you Current fast, current fast Boat swept past, canoe Once a gift now thrown away Just pain left if it stays And now I know I’ve got to let it go Gravel path Clear kept chilled, clear kept chilled Void unfilled, just blue Sliver willed, sliver willed Smooth and milled, both true Once a gift now thrown away Just pain left if it stays And now I know I’ve got to let it go Gravel path

A portrait of the artist as a young man, When will it be drawn? Dedalus is just an alter ego, A hero lost in frustration. I’m walking up the hillside only six weak bottles strong And my pants are torn; they’ve been cut by barbed wired. And I’m done with mathematics and reflexive equations, The move is on, the move is on its, gone I’ve jammed fingers and I’ve jumped for joy, But the conventions still remain Jacob can’t be holding, all the answers Is Paris calling out my name? I’m walking up the hillside only six weak bottles strong And my pants are torn; they’ve been cut by barbed wired. And I’m done with mathematics and reflexive equations, The move is on, the move is on its, gone And I’m done with mathematics and reflexive equations, The move is on, the move is on its, gone
