Fingernails 05:29
I was sorry for a time but it sunk with all the other little somethings I swept under the blinds I keep shut I've been sorry for myself but it floats inside my inner ears and disrupts my heel-toe patterns I trip over the ones I trust I don't shine out anymore I don't shine out I am preoccupied with cells dividing, without my consciousness I am unblessed unblessed because I am not the sun Time is in the dirt that scales my fingernails but when I cut them off I am still not free Time is in the dirt that scales my fingernails but when I cut them off I am still still sorry

Off Centre 05:03
Decentralized brain waves I haven't felt this warm as of late Destabilized heart rate I swallow the mass disintegrate Lately I've been leaning on bodies like walls my split ends skull deep and fixed with children's medicine Decentralized eye gaze pupils plunging perception displaced Maybe I need a long rest maybe I need a tall glass maybe I need some vitamins maybe I need to grow some new cells in Lately I've been leaning on bodies like walls my split ends skull deep and fixed with children's medicine Hope is restored, a breakfast renegade help comes to you in store bought ways hope is restored, a breakfast renegade help comes to you in being in becoming an empty space

Coming Down 06:16
I've been coming down but it's not softly I've been coming down but it's not quick I've been drying out the blue prints of my brain resuscitating origami schemes and taking pills to make the bad things turn to plasterscene But it's hard to force consistency when it's been holding up my spine it's hard to force consistency when it's been holding up my spine I've been coming down but it's not softly I've been coming down but it's not quick now it's important that I always know the time and it's important that my troubles are all mine all mine But it's hard to force consistency when it's been holding up my spine it's hard to force consistency when it's been holding up my spine I've been coming down but it's not softly I've been coming down but it's not quick not quick

Black Spot 05:06
They found a black spot but I wasn't surprised hasn't there always been one in your eyes when you didn't like her nose or the shape of her teeth hasn't there always been a spot underneath They found a black spot caged in your ribs you nursed it quietly while letting her live she grew up quickly sprouting her kids but there's still a box in the basement she blankly forgives And all of these black spots you can quickly forget she scrubs away softly but never adds to the debt

Blank 05:37
Wen everything's blank I watch the time it's not my fault it's in my mind it's in my mind Should I not eat? Should I not buy? I go to sleep apologize it's in my mind Somethings are hard to look at somethings they surface I can't swim Give the ones you don't trust the time of day three square meals stay awake with a heavy chest as you start the day take your pills it will dissipate it's in my mind When everything's blank I watch the time it's not my fault it's in my mind it's in the ends of all my hair it's in my teeth and every empty chair

I had a dream I touched your shoulder on the street before we met and now I know I know sharp bits of me tap you behind your major arteries I guess it's been a year now since you shook my hand Dissociating buildings we once passed taking five steps back from memory relapse my body is stacked with scaffolding connecting my innards to your past I can't be sorry you shook my hand Well I guess, I guess it's been a year now I let it crawl hope things are well and you can call me if you need a kidney or my opinion hope things are well Well I guess, I guess it's been a year now I let it crawl hope things are well and you can call me if you need my kidney or my opinion hope things are well Hope things are well
