exquisite ignorance it glistens on spittled lips, spittled lips pure dullness resonates reflected on the face, on the face the hatred galvanized incendiary in the eyes, in the eyes yer made up of not much a near life experience, experience yer made up of not much a near life experience yer timid insipidity l - leaks down on you & me, you & me c - clueless ostrich head buried on the beach, on the beach five senses now benumbed take cover, here it comes, here it comes yer made up of not much a near life experience, experience

floating through nebulous light falling through incongruous night somewhere in-between two worlds shattering dimensions spinning off the axis of a world that caved in downtown at the space between things, anymore? spinning off the axis of a world that caved in downtown at the space between things, anymore?

untitled 02:23
when I, I see this long lost friend he never fails to mention how I summoned flame little ghosty scampering from me crazy? Oh yay for me down on The Esplanade this raggedy guy says "I've got what you want," he informs me casually he was right entirely how he knew escapes me Oh yay for me

wait by the side of the road here to go slowly turns to rust the needs must as the devil does all unsaid in time wait under sufferance the bleak tomes of the worthless slowly turns to rust the needs must as the devil does all unsaid in time wait by the side of the road here to go wait behind yer eye the day folds & the time's awry all unsaid in time

bitching 03:35
ain't no good, ain't no good bitching, bitching the night away, I'm... it ain't fair, it ain't fair plumb unfair bitching, bitching the night away, I'm... woe is me, woe is me this is a rare introspection of a third person vermin who will live & die for no reason bitching, bitching the night away, I'm...

oh, delirium 03:23
time crawls through 'til morning, I sweat bell of doomsday tolling in my head voices cut right through me like nails vision blurred & hectic, it fails oh, delirium footpath undulating, I writhe dodge the stranger's arrows, a slow dive in the local gardens, sink down the sky, she tears & ripples, spins 'round oh, delirium in-between a dream, all sights unseen heat flash flickering, subsuming me the day consents to mercy, winking taps me on the shoulder, I'm thinking... oh, delirium

I was as happy as a cloud as happy & gay as could be when you stepped from my "dream" into "real" the day you said hello to me It was as if there were just us just me & you in this big, dumb world no sillies walking by to say, "you're wrong!?!" the day you said hello to me my heart swelled as big as could be as big as a big ol' peach that I could share with you, my only the day you said hello to me
