Assumption

lately, I've been dining with beggars and thieves
outside on a table that is set serves redemption and regret
while fog rolls in to cover the place,
I rise and float like a Christ with arms wide
feet never touching the grass as I glide beside the table, then pass
I believe these moments that I keep, will soon dissolve into the past
I want my crown of thorns and throne
if you see me bleed then strike your sword
Exodus my mother, in exodus my father
don't you see that I must go?
If my body ascends beyond any sight with eyes closed but taking in light
blood is swimming, spirit is sighing with relief,
closing genesis without crying
I am cleansing my mortal sins
in rebirth they are washed from my skin

Anatomy of the Trinity

know that this came from the garden of good and evil
when i broke the ribs of adam while he'd sleep
that i curse the sun and some son of god
if he wears his appearence on his teeth,
white robes and nails won't save the hair
growing on your face in spikes of grief
he'll give to the men who love him
to take the place and seat of eve
i came carrying thorn and thistle
to ease her nerves, what kind of comforting
would adam be? throwing you under the sky,
a constant blue, as a reminding
that these men wanted you to feel you're wrong
but in due time, you'll see new sun
rising when the sky turns pink and gold
and the light that holds your sex is shown
the anatomy of the trinity caught in your teeth,
fangs, and grips and molars plant your seeds without thieves
if god is a garden, then we'll dig him up,
burn his crops and replace the ash with feminine love

Rosemary (Birds & Bees)
02:43

birds and bees
dirt and leaves
honeysuckle, lying on your back
why do you think like that?
i can bend how you like,
but i will bend according to the light
mind stuck somewhere, but besides i know
i'm confused on just where I should go
i didn't think it'd take so much
just pour the water in so i won't lose touch
birds and bees
dirt and leaves

a light beam and endless sun
when the moon falls out it comes
to be born in light and love
my body freed from pain above
beds of clouds and growing fun
a light beam and endless sun
nothing glows, just constant shine
the lifes been sucked out of the night
an absence of our rising pearl
we are now a drying world
sunlight keeps pouring in
with no tide and oceans thin
let the moon go,
let the stars go,
In the morning we became the sun
let the moon go,
let the stars show,
In the morning we became the sun

"You have to come down off the mountain, right? You come back down and you have to deal with all kinds of things, I do know about that, very well.”
"Yes, but when they get down to the bottom of the mountain, remember, everybody was yelling at the apostles and they couldn't do anything right, and they couldn't expel the demon, so-"
"You know that the precious blood of Jesus covers you and you will get through it."

i see the sun stuck between your gums and teeth
again, you're drinking gasoline to make it seem
like this ain't all too sweet, like I may need to leave
i feel your mouth heat beating in on me,
get yours in mine and i'll let you feed, please
leave it to the open wound to talk about how you moved,
i know your color theory don't work well in just speech
it's a head game too lame for going through the time it takes to tame
what i've got caught in my hands are my guts, or baby teeth & shark brains
so If i stole the moon and lassoed it down before you,
to your bowl and to your spoon, would you take her glow?
would you make her something of good luck?
aw, did you cut her toe and thread it through
your key ring slow?

the bells that ring through the cold air,
not in spring but when a winters near
they're gonna call you back again
and when you see the birds take flight,
in the dead of night, the birds that sing through the whole year
they're gonna give some peace to your head
or when you sleep through the night,
on sheets of plaid blue, gray, and white
you'll feel yourself rest again
you don't ever have to go,
if you want you'll turn to stone
but i suggest you come and go
away for good when the wind blows
maybe i'm just not seeing the way it gleams
or maybe i've got it more figuered out than it seems
either way i know my worlds been white and green
and I need to turn it down and reteach myself to breath
you don't ever have to go,
if you want you'll turn to stone
but i suggest you come and go
away for good when those winds blow

Sunshine
03:59
|

maybe its the way things are in bloom,
or perhaps, its the color in your space
i am welcomed to janis joplin's face
clouded with real embrace of the way i think
when you see the heat grow in the dark
you are confronting me with grassy knees
and some beast that can bark
you move from my chest to the rest
of the space on the mess of a blanket
that I am calling my island soon
but how come it's you?
i know i'm going to miss you,
i know the sun will stay up,
but the best kept secret i won't admit
keeps creeping up on my face
i can taste it coming soon,
can you taste the ocean, too?
sunshine, sunlight, the sun is fine
sunshine, sunlight, the sun is fine
sunshine, sunlight, the sun is fine
and i will be too
with or without you
