Fifteen vampires in 30 by 30
Knives loaded pans bloated
Smile winking eyelash boilerplate flirty
Every villain comes queer-coded
God is barking orders
Woof, woof, woof
God is barking orders with a salad in his plate
Nobody knows the player in the fort tonight
Prepubescent
Pencil shavings
Guard my boxes
Underground
Sheets tied to kitchen chairs
All born together
Still die alone
Underground
One will lose their head
One will kiss the flames
Flesh will meet the fryers ‘cause everyone is late
Fifteen vampires in 30 by 30
Knives loaded pans bloated
Smile winking eyelash boilerplate flirty
Every villain comes queer-coded
All those in the party have blood dripping from their teeth
Grinning ear to ear pounding fists and stomping feet
Feast feast feast

Lights on, doors shut
Spinboard, toys for fun
Not your token girlfriend
But I‘ll be your girlfriend for a token
Don’t want to view your end
Is it my ego that you’re stroking?
Is your internet working?
Is our connection broken?
Разрывая эту злость
Раскрывая внутри эти лица вокруг
Как можно терпеть
Эту боль каждый день
Стиснув зубы молчать
Молча кричать
Value in the wires
Economics trickling down
Tongues out, open wide
Drink the drips falling from the pipes
Be the highest bidder so I
Strip strip strip strip
Vibrate at the sound, please make me
Drip drip drip drip
Prerecorded content, buy a
Clip clip clip clip
But my socks stay on until you
Tip tip tip tip
Eight peering eyes in the room
Slaughtered pig on the floor
Boys in the arcade with never ending quarters
Found at the bottom of the scroll
Still a steady flow of gold
Monopolize the market no matter how small
Request private, laptop charged
What is your kink
No shame here
I want to help you
Taboo is just another word for those with generic rooms
Type your secrets
Fantasy
Pay in advance
Let me let you breathe
Introduce me to who you wish you could be
Wait, what? Time’s up.
No more tokens
It’s time to log off

I'm sorry
I don't mean to intrude
I don't want to interrupt
But is this seat taken?
Am I mistaken?
I will leave you alone and go about
my business
I stumbled upon a mess of my own design
A fairytale truth that treats me just fine
The stale air embraces me like no one has
Don’t bother speaking up like you did in the past
Empty your pockets
Give me your wallet
Hand me your passport
Don’t lie, I saw it
Bought you a ticket
Don’t want to miss it
3.4 ounces
The ground, you can kiss it
When we land
Fingers in sand
Take my hand
It’s over
This is not your vessel
You cannot know the truth that is set in motion now
Today is the last day you will ever feel joy
Cherish when you loved some one else as much as you knew how to love another
There’s a dance after tonight
Wear a mask, it feels right
I’m going to France, flying tonight

Sahara, blistering heat. Longing for the cool shade of a chrysalis. Soft bodied but strong willed, the strongest warrior of the caterpillar clan. 100 crunches a day, 100 push-ups a night.
A never ending regiment and a full course of leaves is all I need to succeed. But every 13 moons, a pale beast returns, and stabs our tree with its horn, cracking the sacred bark. As the bark peels, the leaves refuse to grow. A way of life destroyed. Sixteen feet in front of the others, a perilous journey down the trunk. Enough is enough. Rhinoceros have no need for trees. One giant leap for caterpillar kind, I find myself atop the head, start to chew on its eye, pretend it's a leaf. Alas, an itch is scratched on the bark, I find myself a smear on our precious tree.

All hands on deck
Weapons drawn
Cannons!
The tide has failed us
Is this what we signed up for?
Imports don't have equal value to me
Where was myth in the job description?
There is no home beneath the sea
The cuckolding cabin boy commits to killing the Kraken quickly
Letting go of the rope
These suction cups won’t do
Captain of a failed state
“We’ll leave it up to you!”
This unnatural gravity
Won't relinquish its hold
Try to clear my head
But these thoughts weigh more than gold
More arms than men
More teeth than splinters
Capsize!
White sails show surrender
Remember me
Fulfill my destiny
Dutiful death
Blood in the mist of my last
Beautiful breath
Remember me
Down for mine
Remember me, your Captain.

Haunted
House not selling
HOA
Is seething
Grasping
Market value
Sunk cost
Arms like string
Clothes like flies
Orphans sing
Windsor tie
Hands like cleft hooves
Perspirating
Nauseating pair of cocks taint the screen
Old papers thick as leather
Draped over the newsstand
Shreds lead to the back alley
Of this temple of white, red, and blue
Meandering and mumbling saviour
Emerges from the gutter
Through the puddle of vomit and shit
Left behind by that handout kid
Wooden jungle gyms
And finger paints
Splinter tag
Who’s king of the hill
Reno
Lowers
Prices
All these words written
On the walls in blood
Would be threatening
If they weren’t misspelled
Look what I found
It looks ancient, it looks evil
I’ll give it to my mom
Totem
Gave me life
Took it away

The itchiest of stitches
Realize the more you scratch
The worse you’re gonna scar
In the soft light in the morning
Open the window and I’m suffocating
There’s never any sun here
The sky is flat and falling on top of us
The sky weighs on my shoulders
I can feel it crushing my lungs
I will bring the pen
and you bring the sword
ink will wash from my hands
but the blood will stain yours
think this through please
You are just a cat that knows it had eight lived in its past
Now you only fear
To jump from the branch because you know that there is no way for you to land
on your feet
Claw a meal with a spaghetti strand tail
A fairly safe game it doesn’t take a while
Cleared out the nest now there’s nothing left
Ribs meet the skin as there is nothing for miles
It is what it is

Poached becomes the poacher
Close to extinsion
Close as they come
Disregard the pleas for help
Empty calories
Lower defenses
Three hundred year old scratching post
Punich war with an army of caterpillars
If you ever became a butterfly
I would powder my nose with your wings
Some come fight your fight
For me a minor inconvenience
Your tree is for my leisure
Your hunger is an afterthought
Alas, an itch is scratched
On the bark You find
Yourself a smear on
Your precious tree.
Metamorphosis

Like Romeo and Juliet
Except, except
You are not
A fucking child
And neither of us
will kill ourselves
Nor will I kill your cousin
And I don’t think our parents
Have ever met each other
But other than that we are
Exactly the same, right?
True love after four days

Sitting stagnant
through no fault of mine
Beyond the door
it is not safe,
best to keep away
It has spread through the air,
not to all but to some
I’ll do my part
and keep my breath inside
Sitting on a reclining chair
watching the silver screen
Listening to Charles X
talk about human genes
Peeling months off the calendar
why do I still have one of these
Return to my reclining chair
where I will stay and get by
Time begins to erode
it does not matter anymore
My cells inside are changing
The next evolution, adapt to survive

Trip and fall and knock over
your sand castle
Loose the tie around your neck
catch it in the rafters
Casting spells in plain view
Then claim it’s a witch hunt
We can only turn a blind eye so many times
Before we’re looking at you again
Creep as a hobby
don’t get caught
Shout with pride and march
eyes blind
Notice the pattern
You’re colorblind? Doesn’t matter
The truth always presents itself
In black and white
Your sword can’t shield you now
Put your makeup on
Cover it up
Paint a portrait
Cover photo
Look at me I’m so normal
Take your final bow
Stoop to your own level
Follow too closely
A red punctuation
floats above their head
Spew the blackness that’s inside
Feel better? You’re the only one
Your emptiness
leaves everybody else just as hollow
Brave sorceress televises action news live
Sit up straight
Speak into the camera
As long as the red light blinks
Then you know just what we all think
Ask a priest if you want forgiveness
You’ll find you have a lot in common
Sharing is caring
We give a target on your back
Mouth sewn shut and foundations crumble
Trip and fall and knock over your sand castle
