Dopple Bombo 02:32
It scares me- the vacant stare, our eyes emptied in this hollow room. I'm all worn out but it seems I can't stop shaking. The nervous ticks stimulated by this patient waiting. My nostalgic circuits do more than welcome our distant memories. As if I were trying to feel like how I used to feel. More than anything, I am lost. And clearly you are too. Our paths. Reversed directions. Come back.

Choco 03:15
Sign my soul, shut your lids to the spillage There's no brim left & tomorrow is too levelheaded I'm sickly white, he threw up (the dwarf inside) Flag down weathered you, sitting on 5 years I'll flag down weathered you, sitting on five years... As of late: I'm taller, broke a bone or two You don't appear, when I holler My eyes more grey than blue You dropped your gaze - or did I ever have it locked? If I know you again, will the boat still rock?

Kids R 8 02:46
What a world it is! I have suffocated; trying to grow among the thorns In contrast you, an apathetic stone, shooting the breeze while I’m screaming myself hoarse Well, we’re no better than our words and dirt is dying to spill out of me I float just under worth stifling I hollow my days, and callous my memory Seeing only floods in rain Will we claw at levees or let the sun bake our brains? In this land of crowds, to be lonely is to breathe

Bridge 2 02:27
I am immersed As the world spits out its Fangs Leave the sky above us But don't leave me in my Place

Dan's Wish 01:25
tiptoe on my pillow sheets. i feel the air. it's softening. sounds of soles surrounded me when i stopped listening.

Freyr 04:25
My life- conspired by dreams attempting to deceive me. I’m deluded. My fifteen hour naps can prove it. Envisioning a present day me and you, awake, but ignorant to reality too. I fly by theta waves, you’ve flown through none, at least that I can see. Every night I’d search for you because you’re so damn comforting Sometimes I’d catch an oriental mistake, and even though it’s not you I’d take it anyway. I’ve stopped breathing, succumbing to the forsaken waves that smothered me. Cliché (!) – Irony exists soddenly, exclusive to my reach. His inevitable return shines a warm light but I: - remain empty-handed -’m too afraid to stay still (sinking through stratums; entertaining a future projected in my attic) Lamenting hair to my brow as opposed to my chin Freyr, I’m in the new year! Idiosyncratic habits that I’m forced to break Bridges connected our mouths With every step taken a new pile is made Collect your scraps and I’ll find mine Scorpions from Mexico and two weeks of my time I’ll let go but my dreams won’t. Could I borrow your light to stay awake?

Swing 05:12
Halfheartedly sweet-talking the pig even as it leads me to the slaughter Clutching on to the nearest figurine until life is 'spotless' But i can’t quite reach all the dust on the ceiling fan It is spread all around my plastic white room i was dancing in my tomb ignoring sun-ups now I'm steadily running out of Luck Self-righteously praying to the sun box Bull-headed but ruler of my own maze i'll rot my teeth for a taste of candied Grandeur! "count the pedals on your aloe pick an apple from the oak the carpet is only red from Merlot don't lick the icing from the hoax Because there's only conscious & unconscious..." & dogged beauty & shade from the porch & 4 truths Baby Blue smacks the walls of his room But my mind is turning Green. "So live life as a backdrop to desire" Maybe tomorrow I'll dream of ash not wanton fire

Bridge 3 02:06
You are a jumble and I've shut my eyes too tight & I've been teetering underneath our plight still you're my relief (my counterpart) I am lost in you

Ton Gue 2 08:56
The boy, his geosmin infested breath left to count September nights (that refused to rest) The ocean’s still singing but you’re too far to hear his waves. If I set the sheets down, do you think you’d follow the tide’s wave? Footprints on the garden; mud marks on the wall Afraid of growing older, even more of seeing fall. Wristbands on demons and fevers, rooms with so many windows or too few time used to move so slow now it won't (because I want it to) Echo; curl back on yourself Let me keep you netted on a shelf And crawl through days, I was just becoming myself
