UPSTAIRS 01:44
Killer bees and orchids Trying to find another Lover as a flower Another every hour They said, “he’s got potential. A semi-silent nature. The lights are on, however, from time-to-time i wonder…” Is Anybody Upstairs? I’m Flying Upstairs! Is Anybody Upstairs? Cuz I’m Flying Upstairs. Up through my blue window Framed in yellow cedar Makes the grass look greener Is Anybody Upstairs? I’m Flying Upstairs! Is Anybody Upstairs?

CHERRY 02:40
C-train, Uptown. Packed in, noon crowd. Slight touch, my hand- Glance up, you stand. I spoke unclear, “So strange, You’re here”. Burn holes, your stare. “Let’s Go”, you said, and We Went! Sweet Dreams Woke up. Full heart. Deep breath. Head start. Save up those things I can’t say, I don’t speak. Night air sets in. Cold feet steppin’ (through the) Back door (from the) Outside (I should) Get Lost (I should) Make Milles, So…. (sweet dreams)

A4ANXIETY 03:14
We Live outside of the machine. the City’s air unfit to breathe. The bitter taste is salty sweet-like Powdered sugar and concrete. A silhouette of you and me Lit the light-polluted scene. A boulevard for every tree Christen cross-diagonal streets. ————————————- Pigeons wade and sift debris- with Paper cranes and lift machines. One thousand wings, together flap. The sound of mother nature’s clap. Ocean birds enjoy a lap - a Theraputic oil bath -with Plastic bags and manowars -that Dance around the ocean floor ————————— Pixies arc from copper vines Hung in modernist design. the Smokey sky is turning black Amoung the piles of burning trash Our pail of sin has sprung a leak! Corral the shit into the sea! And fill it up until it seeps From the cracks that line the urban streets.

How we came to be How you came to me Oh, my heroine, Was it just a dream? How could there be somebody That would pull me after When I got my shoes on backwards? I know you’d be somebody That makes me Faster You make me Faster! With the lights of the traffic It was all blurring past us In the monster of racket.

If you hold the bag, I’ll pay the front. (we’ll take) Double doses, the Night is Young Fawn and Fern surround the trees Serotonin Summer Breeze Oh, not again… You own the bag, You bare the brunt- (you’re) Doubled over, your Morning’s Hung Skeletons grow from the Trees Serotonin Summer Breeze You held the bag, You paid the front. Double Dose, the Night was Young. They’re JUST the friends you didn’t need- You fucking KID, you’ll wait and see- You own the bag, You’ll bare the brunt. Doubled Over, Morning’s Hung. Oh, not again, No… No, not again, Ohh….

HEMLOCK 02:26
Building the nest, I select my Mate. Spinning the web, I collect my Prey. Live in a pack, Led by Strays. Swing and Defend, I’ll protect your name. Swimming the trench, Met by Waves. Skimming the fence, Ascend the Gates. Slip in the House, the Thrills we Crave Digging around your Dresser trays. Brimming offense, Crushed by Weight. Leaving the den, I connect the names. Swimming the trench, Met by Waves. Skimming the fence, Ascend the Gates. Ridding the Hounds, Our scent the Trace. Live in a Pack, Led By Braves.

ONLY PRETEND 03:05
A smile on my face and a hawk on my arm. Your eyes dialate as you walk through the door A half-open dive, hanging with smoke and Halogen light- you take off your coat Were never safe and were never scared So never fear! It’s Only Pretend. Only Pretend Were never safe, and were never scared You’ll never sleep, it’s all in your head! All in your head A grin on my face, a mirror on yours You skin’s just like lace- a million pores Pouring the scent- expensive perfume Bottled and sealed inside of your room.

FAIL & FALL 03:10
Oh, with the boundaries you abuse, And the language that you use, I found myslef asking myself Just what I have to lose Give or take, Just You. and the pain that we persue. Watch me Fail and Fall but No One will Remain Suit Yourself, we don’t need the help Round here.
