The Earth Was Empty

(album: Bring Me Back When The World Is Cured - 2022)

If the earth is empty so am I
I don't like to socialize
I'm so like the ocean tide
Back and forth so polarized
Used to be so Ultraviolet
You should see me open fire
Usually the ghostly type
Eulogies with no goodbyes
Hide my body below barren trees
Then spare me from the caring when despair comes from disparity
They'll probably throw a party when they bury me
Stars and Saturns are just target practice when my barrels ring
Parity's a parody these parakeets keep parroting
Anything they hear or see even if it's heresy
Caroling carrying the notes they know no clarity
In Paris smoking kerosene to periscope in stereo
I toke until I'm aerial veins very varicose
Pain-bearing Dario Argento gentle terror strokes
Paranormal voices sound like karaoke
Echoes getting very low wary souls got buried with the marigolds

Looked up to father broke my neck everything got so complex
Reflections seeming older yet I know I haven't grown up yet
Is this how it's supposed to get? Kiss abyss til co-dependent
Sisyphus got stoned again lit candles wicks on both their ends
Acid spit til no ones left manuscript like rhododendrons
No descendants cold descent smoke arose with no dissent
Choke on roses poems left no one knows or noticed yet
Grow a lotus hope it's kept in focus quotes are so inventive
All my thoughts are constellations
Leave the population on the surface lost in observation
God is not who made him watch him talk amongst the ravens
Plus the piece I keep's unregistered no Asalamalakum
I'm so vacant always seeking closure from the destitute
Lungs becoming numb its from exposure to the metal fumes
Locusts in my central view hopeless sentimental tunes
The earth is empty so are you its growing in my ventricles

Empty as the moon when the light glows
Empty as my view when the night falls
Emptiness consumes all my diodes
Empty as my tomb if I die old
