The Awaking Sound

I was somebody else when I woke up in your bed this morning
Staring through your mirror into infinitely empty space
I thought I saw your body standing just outside my window
It looked in my direction with a somewhat familiar face
All of the beds were turning upside down
Gold pastels and the awaking sound
But there was no one there
There was nothing there
I couldn’t move my hands when I felt it coming back around me
An amnesiatic breeze was blowing all around my head
Falling through the ceiling, running through the empty forest
Black inside of black inside of black inside of everything
A luminiferous aether on the ground
Outside in was turning inside out
Breathing the slowing air
The slowing air
I was somebody else when I woke up in your bed this morning
Staring through your mirror into infinitely empty space
I thought I saw your body standing in the closet window
It looked in my direction with a somewhat familiar face
All of the beds were turning upside down
Gold pastels and the awaking sound
But there was no one there
There was nothing there.

Slow Air

I lit the lantern light in the river
and I saw you there upon its bank
You made a motion to come but I was already there
I slid my icy hand up the middle
of your paralyzing shoulder blades
I had been meaning to tell you but you would figure it out
We cut the night into earth and a morning made of
flower petal ornaments
I heard you laughing and knew we wouldn’t turn back around
The sky had opened right up the middle
and the face was white and permanent
It was under our feet, it was a blanket of sound
We were eloping in the slowing air
Calming water, soil and peat as our bed, as our home
We choose our own
We don’t need anymore
In your eyes I see myself
In your ideal selfless love
We don’t talk
We don’t need anymore
We are eloping
While the earth is loaming
We are lost in the slowing air.

Someone Else's Morning
03:54

I know that you have thought of me
I appreciate your honesty
But I don’t know what I am or where I go
This morning I was quite ok
For several minutes then it came
I tried to write it down but I forgot
Forgot it all
Organs in my brittle shell
Quivering as fast as hell
I tried to slow them down but I could not
Alcohol and razor blades
Nip and cut and start again
I roll myself in dirt and sleep in the pines
And feel so odd
You pray for me and I will pray for you
Hold my hand and tell me it’s not true
Someday I’ll turn back into what I thought I was
All I am and will ever be
Sickness and anomaly
I tried to write it down but I forgot.

Tell them that I got what I came for
Tell them they were right all along
Tell them it was worth it just to sit in the sun
And emptiness is all you will ever know
Tell them I was happy to be there
Tell them it was genuine love
Tell them that I found it but I left it alone
Into the aether I will go.
