Death for the Pie

It's a cherry pie for breakfast at noon kind of day.
Fuck.
At least this cherry pie isn't afraid of being close to me.
But it should be.
Because I'm going to eat it.
I love you, cherry pie.
Thanks for being in my refrigerator and sitting with me while I cry.
In a world that wants nothing to do with love, or loving me,
I at least have a delicious plate of pie to remind me that we all die.
I guess there is always a glimmer of hope that it will be a loving, delicious death after all.
Fuck.

Shooting Star
04:52

modulation
focus
constraint
narrowing of bandwidths
the beauty is the curve
the shape
the change we're listening for
the distinct moment
a universe of moments, generated as a multiverse
What is unseen - is it as important as what is seen?
translucent picture frame
the frame is now part of the art of your heart
I'm gonna be a star
I'm gonna die a star

The Deity

i'm only like you 'cause i have a pulse
i'm only like you 'cause i need to scream
i'm only like you 'cause i hunger today
i'm only like you 'cause i still pay
when would you like to escape?
to meet all over again?
when did you first see the wall?
when should we make it fall?
i'm only like you in that i can run
i'm only like you in that i can't hide
i'm only living in the petting zoo
i am the one that you never knew
when would you like to escape?
to meet all over again?
when did you first see the wall?
when should we make it fall?
i'm only like you 'cause i have no mission
we're lovers, we're brothers in the arms of television
we're just two shadows of a greater need
to play games for the deity of greed
when would you like to escape?
to meet all over again?
when did you first see the wall?
when should we make it fall?

Go - sink your head into the fascist sand
Go - take comfort in the womb of denial
Go - turn in all the people not like you
Will it make you feel better
when it happens to you
Ugly echoes of history
Broadcasts of our fallacy
Let's question our sanity
We're comfy, safe, I guess we're free
Semantics lobotomize
the hopes living in the mind's eye
but if we hide and live to rise,
caged in our comfy lifestyle,
we are free
Silent protests to an absent enemy
We keep busy, online, woke, and deep...
asleep
as our responsive plastic thought
squabbling over freedom
already long gone
Oh, you see
Liberation's just a game
When you say you win, you win
But those red hands always stain
You always leave a shroud of rain
You were always just
the perfect light
to illuminate what I'm missing
The right god
The right country
The right sex
The right color
That's the garbage that you're looking for, son.
Oh, you see
Liberation's just a game
When you say you win, you 'win'
But that red hat always screams
Go - run to the arms of America
Go - sink your head into the fascist sand
Go - take comfort in the womb of denial
Go - turn in all the people not like you
Will it make you feel better
when it happens to you?
Will it make you feel better
when you die for the truth?
you always leave a shroud of rain
you always leave a shroud of pain
