I’m not staying up To do enough Or leaving much at all And it’s not slight enough To be slept off Or be forgotten at all And if it were up to me I’d say it loud Posthumously Cause I’m not capable Of much at all No not at all it seems I’m still straining to make out The painting from your parent’s house Whilst lying sleepless face down on the couch it wears me out And somehow I’m still only half inclined to work it out And remain unchanged forever on the edge or thereabouts I’m still straining to make out The painting from your parent’s house Whilst lying sleepless face down on the couch it wears me out And I know I’m still only half inclined to work it out What a way to spend forever on the edge or thereabouts

Somewhere 04:38
It’s always been ineffective Always been enough to stave the symptoms off It’s always been ineffective And it was learnt so late And leaves there dwindling leaves alone Cut up and cast apart again And leaves there dwindling leaves alone Deep into ill dealt discordance It was not in perspective Wasn’t quite close enough to walk across It was not in perspective Though it was light so late Pull down the blinds, Don’t let the light in Cover your eyes Maybe if you sleep for years The outside will morph Into something more Something that you Can finally relate to There is a home Behind each door Flooded with light Still there is no home for you

300 Hz 04:30
With talk of the armament And forcibly Had you surrounded 300hz frequencies Purposely Were never accounted 0 5 0 2 ninety four This is not your lot in life But how will you ever make it out When there is such little light And strong divide And in the end we both showed signs of parts unfolding In the end with parts left uncombined And in the end we both showed signs of parts unfolding In the end with parts left undefined

When I think what could have come of us, If I’d have seen better things instead and the days hadn't seemed quite so dark, close to the border and nothing feels real anymore. The last light, and hallowed hollow of your words To find a subtle humor as I step towards that line You perceived it with patience but powerless to inherit your father’s line Shaped to befit his cadence and introspect hard to resist but ill-consigned (It’s not the point of it It’s just the truth And that is all I want for you)
5.
This planetary fascination can make things hard to explain Drafting lines from A to somewhere you can’t see Maybe I’ll try maybe I will but I doubt it When at last I tried it was later than I thought So fortunate, you fall upon your feet this time This time the fail safe luck you count on keeps you But it won’t work out again
