A Softer World

Can you picture a man who’s his own hologram?
Here I am in New York, what do the words “trillium killer” mean?
No one knew where you went, I showed you how the light bent
And no one knew what to do, we watched it consume you
(Rewriting your history)
The drugs work just like we planned
A softer world I built by hand
And all I should have known by now
I’d start to understand
Can you think of your rage, how it’s growing with age
I traced the light refracted through me, then decrypted a message to me
No one knew what to do the day it consumed you
(I know you long for the sound)
The drugs work just like we planned
A softer world I built by hand
And all I should have known by now
I’d start to understand
The bruised arms from all the blood drawn
I’m drawing up a softer world
Forgive me for the things we’ve done
I’ll die here in this world
My warm blood’s working overtime
A threat dissolved from the inside
A fresh start every year or two
A plan to learn to drive

Extinguisher

Down for “nice life,” he dragged back
Born into a void, waiting there
Only silence
Reborn, haloed, trace back pain
Rain stops, fire it stops, oh, I’ve been snuffed out
To only silence

Rush to Spark
04:57

A gentle symmetry inside
Is held together by a silent guide
It comes on like a rush of sparks
A million spotlights in the park
Meant to guide you through the dark
Coming down I clear my eyes
Can you see what happened here?
I wasted all my time
My vision started to distort
And I heard a voice say to me
“It’s never going to be enough"
Was I too much? Did I show my greed?
And did you finally get the pills you need?
Reminds me of my cautiousness
Along the way I made my mess
Get back the symmetry we’ve lost
In the fields waiting to defrost
It cuts through like a sharpened knife
It’s all I ever wanted in this life
To be bathed in golden light
Coming down I clear my eyes
Can you see what happened here?
I wasted my whole life
My vision started to distort
And I heard a voice say to me
"it’s never going to be enough"
Is it just a lie that keeps me hopeful for a second life?
Everyone I’ve been and everyone I’ve known
They’re right in front of me
I’m thankful for the lie that keeps me hopeful for a second life
Everyone I’ve been and everyone I’ve known
They’re right in front of me

Say Yes to Violence

Better selves I could organize, I just wanna look strong
If I become who I pretend to be who have I been all along?
A mild mannered Canadian, useless in our passiveness
Apologies for the northern shame, kill with gentleness
Message came from the other side; “say yes to violence”
There’s a voice buried in the waves, keeps begging me to swim
Moving fast to get out in front and wash the night out of the cloth
And tell you how I got the scar as blood fillls my mouth
Hard to understand why
Half of me, it wants to be enveloped
Clouded in my vital signs, a second sight
Burning out, I’m pushing back on the fading light
Losing trust on the ledge, I know what it could steal
I’m giving in to indifference telling fantasy from real
Try to make new memory, the lens blurred I tried to rush
And felt the sweat sink through the bed the night I said too much
Hard to understand why
Half of me, it wants to be enveloped
Clouded in my vital signs, a second sight
Burning out, I’m pushing back on the fading light

Antibody

You are the antibody
In yourself and everyone
Fold the blue into blood
Now who cares if you’re having fun
You are the antibody
In yourself and everyone
The muscle memory
Won’t forget, can’t be undone
Maybe once in a past life
I would confront you
We’ve been burning through this life
And it’s caught up with you
When you called me your faggot
Maybe I liked it
A thousand bedrooms forgotten
You’d wait for instruction
You are the antibody
In myself and everyone
I’m acting out in public
All because of what you’ve done

Summer of The Gun

Now that you know
Do you feel safe hidden in plain sight?
Extend the hand I thought I would follow
Cum soaked cracked concrete, the summer of the gun
His voice had a short moment of echo
With a promise that burrowed inside me
And like an echo it look a while to fade
As he tried to guess my age
Fragile worlds worldbuilding I’ll meet you there
It's softer seasons fade, you'll feel it in the air
And all of that feedback you have in your ear
Blurs out all memory of each blurred out year
You and me won’t speak again
Still tell yourself I’ll always be your friend
Northbound, eastside
And did it feel safe keeping a veiled life?
A living conflagration is throwing my shadow
Now burned into pavement, the summer was not done
Asks me softly “What brought you to these ends?”
“It gives me back a part of me I’ve lost”
Then hands me all that I asked for
Eyes cast low and says I’m worth more
(I felt the sun come through the drugstore window
In softer seasons your bruises all clear
And even if I change I don’t think you’d know
A softer season that lasts for a year)
You and me won’t speak again
Still tell yourself I’ll always be your friend
The leaves will fall slow, unobserved
And I’ll be strong, I’m strong here in this world

Trillium Killer

Young world, misunderstood
Shooting sprees, shade from trees
Pain will dull, will take control
Hand turns fist, slight of violence
When the soil softens, softly decay
Come see my spot on your day off
When the salt’s laid there, nothing will grow
Not like him, trillium
Not my problem, not my fault
The sun burns out, let the sun burn out
Not my body, not my mind
Falling asleep, missing my stop
