Dead Wait

What were the odds
That everything we'd thought to plan
Would go down so wrong?
Dead on arrival
It's now clear enough to know
This is how it begins to end
Leave me the room
To set the table for two
If we pull through
To carry on
Carrying that same old
Oppressive minutiae
Then we'll run to the houses up on hillsides
And remain indoors of course
Then ride the landslide through the night of the long knives
Pushing each other overboard
Wade in the turbid mercury
Reinforce hyperbole
For authenticity but really
What you give and what you take and what you make of it will finally Break me
Fools gold
Was stealing the vote
Fools gold
Stole our hope
Now we'll run for our lives miles to the mines
On cobble stone roads
We'll keep on keeping on while the canaries die
Overdosed on life
Reinforce hyperbole
For authenticity but really
What we had and what you took and what you did with it will finally Break me in two
Fools gold
Stole my vote
But i won't play the spawn of a generation
When you blame me for what I am
While forgetting who you're not
When it goes up in smoke
I'll just take a toke and never let it out
Ride out the high for all time
Watch as the vapor greys the horizon
Leave me to choose
From the options of the guillotine or gallows
To distract me from
Writing our swan song

Locusts line the entire path back home
We dance to the cadence
Tinitus had consumed the alarm
Set only to posture
Tetraphobic when it's simply just us four
We sang like a choir
Forlorness blocked the air horn
Wrapping us with eight arms
So I dreamt these dreams for you
It's all I could ever think to do
While you were drowning
In the shallow end
Dormant tactics
Flagrant recall
Scrap the sacrilegious holy grail
No blood on our hands
Evidence held by Aphrodite
Left her speechless again
So I dreamt these dreams for you
It's all I could ever think to do
While you were drowning
In the shallow end
Bailing us out
While you're bailing it back into the bow
Into the panic, we'll go
Either or both of us in tow
Into the void, we'll go
Lock-stepped barefoot
Drunk with hope
Into the panic, we'll go
Either or both of us in tow
Into the void, we'll go
Always stitched together alone
Into the panic, we'll go
Either or both of us in tow
Into the void, we'll go
Side-stepped the old manners of Job
To one day waste away
In harmony
You end where I started

When you're right, you're right
This crow won't eat itself by itself in mid-flight
When you’re right, you’re right
First to know, last to show
The conflict in between your identities
Guess it's me with nothing to lose
Lost value in something to prove
I never thought I'd see this far
We lost value in holding our own
Camping out on a microphone
Dying to hide openly spying
So stay down where you are
Live where you've been in your own blue truth
And just call me when it's over when they finally source the cure
I wish I could recall
Some bullshit metaphor
Of some tree needing all its leaves to die
Just to be reborn
Set it up just to knock it down
You never really needed me around
It required something closer to yourself
So just call me when it's over
When they finally source that fourth sore
When you're right you're right
This crow won't eat itself by itself in mid-flight
So goodbye goodluck
Back to the places that we once had stuck
Out to the degree that you found first found me
How else would I have known
The dress code?
How else would I have known
Everything unspoken
How else would I have known
Such a difficult dress code
Bare

They brought it to a boil
The periphery closed
They wont call it disorder
But you’d already known
They had it at a boil
But it felt like a sprawl
They won’t warn its looming
But you made the call
You were there to look that gifthorse in the mouth
You were there to run the mendacious from the town
Now it seems we might never get there
Now it seems I may never get there
To be measured in stars
To go forth with this march
At what cost?
At what cost?
(Now it seems we may never get there)
So I will prone myself
Expose myself
Sacrifice all wellness
Just for a certain death
I’m wearing you out
For a night on the town
Displaying commonalities
With those that escaped the Pliocene

Too aware not to care for the standards
So why leave us empty-handed?
Too in tune not to see through the veil
So why leave it all behind?
Suspending
Reentry
A close call
Worth mentioning
Opening letters
Forwarded in error
Arrive at the exosphere
Now respirate right
Here, apart
Pixelated promises
A break in the code
Pixelated promises
Augmented
Safe
Too aware not to care for the standards
So why leave us empty-handed?
Too in tune not to see through the veil
So why leave it all behind?
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it “mine”
Carnations grab the whole truth out of you
If only we cared for content control
Calling a spade a spade
Won't ever change a thing
I'm digging my way back to you
Calling the kettle black
A shitty misdirect
I'm kicking out weak excuses
Too aware not to care for the standards
So why leave us empty-handed?
Too in tune not to see through the veil
So why leave it all behind?
Notice the certain stains on the dossier
They've soaked in permanently
You're totally buried
Under the mark
of midlife adjournment
Here, apart
Pixelated promises
A break in the code
Pixelated promises
Augmented
Null and void
Null employ
Null
Safe, in the hands of the past
Safe, out of the chain of command
Safe, in the hands of the past
Safe, far from first but not dead last
Burning up all our blessings
In black lanterns

Did you think that I would give away your location?
Should you know mine
I tried to give it to you before
Twice
When you can't sell your false equivalency
How will you maintain the flame held to my feet?
What was that name you gave the shallow graves
All those archetypes would demonstrate in corpse paint
What was that line you'd
always let fly
everytime i missed the mark just barely
Even if you tried
Quite frankly we're on divergent sides
I know you know I know you fucked me twice
When you let the darkness in to begin with
To begin with
a retrofit
To begin with
An apocalypse
Shapeless in the shadows
Clear in the mirror
No one saw that cross to bear
Hanging us bare
Were you really afraid that I
Would give away your location
Should you know mine
You don't elude me this day and this (time)
Even if you tried
statistically we're too late in life
I know you know you really fucked me twice
when you
Let the darkness in to begin with
Even if I tried
Something tells me
we're too deep in time
You've known I knew you really fucked me twice
When you let the darkness in to begin with an apocalypse
Not afraid to change my name
If I know that you'll regard it as
Cowardice (to ice your veins)
Spoon fed as lessons
Disguised as questions
Spoon fed (and)
Marked the devil

A poor performance out in the vestibule
To a closed casket
down the center of the New Year's Day parade
A poorly attended convention
To a spate of legionnaires
Packed into the passages
Ventilator
You owe me your life
Each breath was mine to deny
But you hold the lever
Gatekeeper
You owe me access
You owe me a final breath
Ignite the bottom floor
Xylene skin
Charring every choice
But to start once again
Of all the places to pick your battles
None were warm
Nothing freed is ever subtle
Long ignored
A description to save all the suitors' time
To reconcile a once-disgraced anemic bloodline
Elimate
Elimate
Deaf to the pitter-patter
Primed for vacancy
Room for thunder
Blind at the top of a ladder
Primed for atrocity
Room for flame
Drawl it out for days
Drag it out of me
An ellipted deliverance gone by
To the moment the moth swam it's last race through the sunrise
No concern will make the tables turn
Contractions only known to nurse
Ventilator
You owe me your life
Each breath was mine to deny
But you hold the lever
Gatekeeper
You owe me access
You owe me a final breath
To squeeze
It out
of me
Finally

Smooth over loosened vacancies
Enough just to fake some sort of fulfillment
Phone in creature comforts between us
Enough just to feel some sort of convincement
I must have missed it
Opia only left her first name with me
When I kept on staring
Then checked her bags only moments before disappearing
Under the coals
Glowing cold
Closely toeing a line
At brackish and brine
It's just fine
She'll break open containers
Of silt on new pavement
Still singing her praises
Votes won't be counted
No votes will be counted
Fool the courier
With subtle discretion
An honorable mention
Votes won't be counted
No votes will be counted
Fool the jeweler
Buttressed against empty partitions
She'll throw her weight into this world
Uncoiled
Opia only left her first name with me
When I kept on staring and staring
Then checked her bags only moments before disappearing
Under the coals
Glowing cold
Votes won't be counted
No votes will be counted
Fool the reaper
So clever with her carnage
"So-so" clever with her carnage
Votes won't be counted
No votes will be counted
Fool the publican
Internment Condo
Complete with a
Future primary guesthouse
The closest thing to get us to
Convalesce
Quietly
Hover above
Aerial level to implode
Crude usage
Undetermined movement
Low hanging fruit
A reach beyond headstone
Engaged with a root
Pulling
Roosting on bare nest
Roosting on bare nest
Pulling past arms length
Glowing cold
Subsystem truths
Subway beneath her
Subsystem truths
Subway beneath her
Bowing out of servitude
Opting out of electing
Haunting myself
With her body
Haunting myself
With her body
To protect from
A misunderstanding
To protect from
A fatal
Protist closing eyelids in time,
Synced with everything opposite:
Real name
Fake lane
Bedroom
Vacant
Again
Braced for fatal landing
Desire is reckless
Desire is love
Desire is aimless
Desire is death
