not because 03:54
at what cost is a dream? ignites the blood in our stream, at what line do we draw? desire comes and its taking everything in sight no matter how you lie, there's always that one thing that you could never have... and it will never be enough to satisfy your lust for more than this feed, fuck, multiply until another life procrastinating the lessons, that you choose to ignore like a river flowing down balloon head up in the clouds, feet not anchored on the ground deafening silence of the proud

to think we try to patch it up, our minds alone are not enough tune out to the TV news anything to find the next excuse and I find this all frustrating, thoughts not worth interpolating. it happens a million different ways we're sending it out to space, and when it comes I'll be in charge of all the missiles and the bombs, the words upon the wall. to think the same thing every day, phones in hand, eyes closed we pray tune out to sing the blues anything to find the next excuse. I find this all frustrating, a picture not worth illustrating.

modern epoch 03:45
don't believe what you hear don't believe what you do everything's a myth waiting to be pursued. the price of love is loss, the game is rigged to lose I stepped into life today with the wrong pair of shoes. the business of nothing, selling what we do. finding new ways of suffering, on our fruitless search for truth.

hung my keys next to the door decided i won't be so present anymore buried behind a boundary that doesn't exist syntax world with constant stream of emptiness think i'll read the boy a book the world burns silently while we refuse to look take a second glance at the path we made second chances burn when the dishes break oh i know just how it feels now the structure's compromised, and it's all just crashing down oh i know just how to deal now if the foundation holds we can figure something out think i'll sing the boy to sleep soothing songs about the promises we'll keep working overtime to fix ourselves open sores and character flaws hold us in these hells

about

in the land of the sleepwalkers, character flaws are hidden behind the glow of an automatically dimming phone screen. in a humid violet chamber, tony appleseed strums late into the hours of the night, contemplating new approaches to navigating this carbon sack of star stuff through the frames of time.

a subtle blend of lullabies for the blind and a self-help manual, the pieces are methodically stitched together with the help of a few familiar friends and blood.
