short collection of carefully placed letters

[vanilla]

i 'may' have posted a few of these before but i cant remember, so bear with me


"south pacific"

do you crawl in this
does it feel
does it meet the best?
all youre words come through
with every breath
with them so high
and every step
comes falling through
with eyes just met

every way, every side
youre blind and deaf
just put aside
the differences
when everyday you get
too tired
so high
and that
just fits
when youre words come through
just noise
everytime its said
this time, just that
these tones
so small
those days
just slip
in the water
swim away
each wave
gets smaller
just slip
you meant to say
just slip
not today


"fatso"

staring down the barrel of a gun
make a choice
make it last
this is real
this isnt real
no paths
just mindset
the ground shakes
beneath youre feet
where do you run now?
he'll chase you
hunt you down
make this choice
make it last
where do you run now?
the cost of mistakes
bullets in the air
where will you run now?
where will you hide now?
he'll find you
standing over top
staring down the barrel of a gun
shoot everything you stand for
where will you run now?

"hummingbird mountain"

anytime, this time
for this its free
its free
just let it go
it cant stay
because you take
it all over

all new
through youre hands
like a rainy day
let it go
it cant stay
painting circles
on the wall
we know
it cant stay

a crooked smile
says too much
look away
when you let it go
laughing every time
it cant stay
when it moves
all the same
just look
another way

so high on the ground
different but always
always the same
you left
ill take it
another day

"nearly electric"

for every move you make
two i will fake
split in half
for this ill see
four stars in wake

see the sunrise
see no light
merging in heat
words rising to fight
drink while i
erase pictures
in youre mind
keep fighting for me
build and build
those chemical rights
there not there
there not real
im god inside you
creating everything to
hold and release
keep hiding from me
keep fighting for me
keep running from me
keep rising for me

"substance d"

weightless falls
water drops
velvet felt
give and take
in the shade
lips
open and close
breathing melts
sweat
under youre skin
grow and grow red

waves crush and caress
buried alive
piercing through
closed eyes
afraid to see
everything
nothing

sedated
you misread
just breathe

just feel
rise and rise
underneath
dilated minds
grow and grow red
before
explode
