Ill pour cereal in the centrifuge
Then get to tyin vellum into pretzel loops
The right timing makes everything a breakfast food
I'm eye spying every exception to every rule
Sidewinding the etched groove of the resolute
Blind psyche thats tempered blue by the exit wounds
Head fueled by hexxed runes and spectral fumes
Negligence the nemesis that left a few friendships ruined
Relax stop its too heavy dude
Collapse all thoughts into cat paws on a metal roof
Ahh yeah that's a lot better wheww
Light as a feather in the cap of a rebel youth
With a can of iron lak in the backpack
Signing on the dotted on the bottom of the amtrak
I used to smoke pot out of tin foil
Now I'm smooth on the joint collagen and fish oil
There's a storm coming that I can't measure
And thats Bad weather for a fact checker
I've ran eschers with every last effort
Despondent from a bondage that I can't sever
There's a storm coming that I can't measure
And thats Bad weather for a fact checker
I've ran eschers with every last effort
Despondent from a bondage that I can't sever
Got an alter with a geode
Opulent occupant of the cosmic and the real
Noble born Oval quartz face melter
Home decor for the no remorse cave dweller
Hunkered down underground
Til the storm pass
The lightning is tightening the chitin in my thorax
Emerging warmth in servitude to bone thaw
Thirsty for and allergic to the photon
So its shades on total eclipse
Focused into a potion my proboscis can sip
I just open up a portal with a hop and skip
I'm a god and a mortal and its awkward as shit
I train corvids with a ball and a stick
To take trinkets from normies with honor roll kids
Foresight with the range that a Llama can spit
I warp drive through the space that a comma can give
I hydroplane on top of the mist
Opportunities they gone in a jiff
I'm crossing thangs off of the list
Like the chance of me droppin the splits
I toggle the switch
I'm either on or off of the fritz
Checking the ledger of every domino flicked
I'm more than an anonymous autonomous blip
Swimming in a cacophony of audible clicks

Chuggin' Bubbles
03:22
|
|||
I'm a human with a crutch
I treat music like a drug
Drink kombucha by the jug
If you ain't got bubbles you in trouble
I'm a sack of flesh and bones
With a mask of jest and prose
One more dance then let it go
If you don't like bubbles kick rubble
You can kick rocks in some flip flops
I can chop wood I got a big ox
Nothin but bubbles up in my drip drops
Every mumbles a puzzle for you to jigsaw
Yeah we chop wood on the daily
Just another hobbit with a daydream
Maybe I'm an otter wit a brain freeze
Belly full of mollusk like damn thats tasty
You can catch me by the wharf
Treasure map tucked in my shorts
And thermos full of borscht
Seadog with a yip and a yeehaw
I chug bubbles by the keg
I leave nothin in my wake
Make me laugh and you'll get sprayed
Seesaw on the tip of the tetons
Gorilla grip in the fist of the king kong
Silicate in the chip for the recon
Vanilla mixed with the militant be calm
Super silly a Supercillious detox
I carry whats buried deep in the peat moss
I been switching bodies for an aeon
Precog with the palms of a tree frog
So I can stick to my dreams and not peel off
Carbon cycles made of stars
Ride em without handlebars
Twinkle twinkle in a jar
Free Mason of the least sacred
From a pit of swallowed grit
I can skip a monolith
Over onyx polished mist
Teeth achin from a weak statement
I could Bleed language in a deep sanguine
Greek phaedrus even when I speak lamens
Green acres with a street flavor
Baby Jesus in a fleece blanket
I been overpayed I've been cheap labor
I been face deep in the heat vapors
Life aint a beach on a screensaver
The only thing guaranteed is cya laters
I'm back on my bubble shit
If you ain't you a sucka fish
New paint on the mothership
You like don't hoverin
well don't stand under it
Chugging bubbles til my throat burn
If I can do it you can do it your turn
Been doing it forever no sojourn
And ima keep chuggin till im nothing but a full urn

Straightjacket Calculus
03:44
|

If my savior was a glacier
I wouldn’t hold my breath with paper weighters
Vapors blur safety words into pain n anger
Crate train em and bank em in a plane that never left the hangar
Aphrodite in centerfolds
Appetite of a wendigo
Patricide on a sundial
Cannonize the Apocrypha
Asinine as a thumbnail
Pantomime the anomolous
Dragonfire on the gunwales
Malachite in the pocketbook
Alibi for the blood spilt
Maximizing the aquifer
Dataminin the mud shale
Labyrinth inside a polymer
This is straightjacket calculus
Im a wastebasket alchemist
Paybacks a counterfeit
Ain’ t that about a bitch
This is straightjacket calculus
Im a wastebasket alchemist
Way past the outer edge
Stay back im out of it
Brakepads build patience
Stained glass in a still stasis
Race track whale chasin’ll Get ya
Ahab’d in a krill blanket
Pack the pipe full of ambergris
Acolyte of the macro lens
Saccharides are my nanotech
Granite eyes of a basilisk
Lazy eyed speak the circumference is undetected
In a game of minesweeper with nothin but lucky 7s
A Nascent mind reader I’ll butter up the collective
But my stay alive meters humongously un-effective
Anchor my ideas in acres of pine needles
And lace em with dyneema the betas a tight sequence
A plaintiff of high leisure and hovery rubbernecking
Omega the live feature of buffering all conventions
This is straightjacket calculus
I’m a wastebasket alchemist
Paybacks a counterfeit
Aint that about a
This is straightjacket calculus
Im a wastebasket alchemist
Way past the outer edge
Stay back im out of it
Too out of shape to levitate the stairway to heavens gate
Tryna excavate a better way
There’s a gap growing
In my soul where Im back hoeing
And I can show you the ropes around that hole I’m lassoeing
John Wayne cosplay Flambe’d crawlspace
Crossfade all day
from enclave to enclave
Over Bronze Age saw waves
Swan lake Ariana grande on skates
Verses the get off of my lawn face
Id rather See an autobahn dogleg
Then hear a monologue from Soccermom yaweh
Stargaze opera at a Gondola soiree
Baclava bombay and Otter pop entrees
You’da thought it was hakuna matata in the shark tank
These Apostles ain’t wearin balaclavas cause their artsy
This is straightjacket calculus
I’m a wastebasket alchemist
Paybacks a counterfeit
Aint that about a
This is straightjacket calculus
Im a wastebasket alchemist
Way past the outer edge
Stay back im out of it

Chop Wood
03:41
|

I m more chop woody than snap fingery
Bored onlooking I act eagerly
Ive forgone cooking to snack fiendishly
Smores on cookies in craft eateries
Transpose Oreos into high art
Tableau scorpio in a sidecar
Back road morning glow made of pine tar
Lab coat for the pulp when I grind hard
Antidote for the broke is a pry bar
Manifold mortal soul in a brine jar
Animal sporting clothes and a blind spot
Animals forage openly in my yard
I hit a deer with a head nod
He hits me back with a head twitch
We picking up where we left off
A couple nodes in the nexus
With the tendency get lost
And some greens in our breakfast
Souls sing with our best thoughts
Flesh crawls with a death wish
Made friends with the frostbite
Say amen to the long night
Wavelengths gone sloth like
Frames get cropped like maize in a combine
Its okay I’m alright
No my pain aint all mine
Throw another log on the crossfire
Sometimes too slow is on time
Hands rough and the woodshed full
Stashed up cause it could get cold
Belly is a hearth skin is a windmill
Elements are harsh
I’m a bard with a windchill
Three years on a farm was a big deal
Ten years on a farm is a bit real
No Im really not a quitter no
But I was faced with a decision yes
It was make it home for dinner
Or a winter in the fissure
With a mitten full of splinters
Now its me and the mischief
And she’s in my best interest
Its a gift just to exist
But I got things on my wishlist
Still I chop wood and its all good
Im mixing pleasure with business
Made friends with the frostbite
Say amen to the long night
Wavelengths gone sloth like
Frames get cropped like maize in a combine
Its okay I’m alright
No my pain aint all mine
Throw another log on the crossfire
Sometimes too slow is on time

Floatin'
04:32

I grew up with the misfits n the mutants
Flip tricks in my supras
Chewin sticks of bazooka
Thick spliffs and visions of big shit in the future
A quick twitchin medulla
From wind sprinting with koopa
Clever sensitive human
Obsessed wit the minutia
A gymnast who flips
Over mischief and illusions
Eclipse this im a luna
Tick tick and im booming
Investin in a tube of
Fresh mint and a lufa
Ginger lemon n licorice in the juicer
Mixing medicine pestle pen and a sutra
Sentiment reticent with my head up in the Bermuda
Questioning every lemming in ceremonial hoopla
Non sequiturs left him wounded no Leatherman for the suture
No measurement for the sediment left from reckless maneuvers
Just ancestral messages resurrected from humus
A denizen of the vestiges detrimentally human
First impression he possesses the pre requisite humor
On the second you can tell he's introspective thats a 2fer
Dialectic niacin breakfast to flush the rumors
Or projections'll turn into a metric ton of tumors
Pair of deuces he uses his plumage for the coup de grace
No jewelers loupe needed to tell whether he's smooth or not
I build cocoons silken rooms for my brooding thoughts
Gilded wombs overfilled Balloons soon to pop
Floating on the thermals of cupids booster shot
Extra sensory helium in the fuselage
To lift my spirits when its clear I lack the luminance
To not tie a noose with the looney thoughts in my glue collage
Its 20 second hugs and Communion talk
Til we need the poopdeck on the Schooner swabbed
Country living man it ain't all ooh la la
There's a lot of motherfucking wood to chop
Floatin
Lil dip In a bubble bath
Floatin
Lift kit on the hovercraft
Floatin
Got my floaties on
And im goin goin goin goin gone
Floatin turn the gravity down
It'll be a week fore you back on the ground
Floatin let's evaporate
Ima dance on a raft while I castaway
Chuggin bubbles can't slow down
No float valve hopin that I dont drown
This a stone ground ho down
In a ghost town locale
I could throw a rope round a snow plow
And ride it til my soles done blown out
All in can't fold now
No drought til the juice gets squoze out
Halos and helicopter hats
Sailboat in a terracotta flask
Rainbows and pot of mashed
Poatoes wit a gremolata dash
Float buoyant where they won't voyage
In the liminal where ya don't loiter
Interlope wit icaro'd voices
Hit the road little Tom Sawyer
Huck finn wit a butt chin
Bump this for the unsung on pointers
Gold compass in a cold dungeon
True north might take you where the moths coitus
Drop coinage in a rock toilet
Make a wish made of soft poignance
Skinny dip in a long silence
Sit a minute in a thought broiler
Floatin in Sensory depravation
Arc full of pedigree entropy in the makin
March forward with centipede innovation
Charged mortars and destiny for the taking
Barn doorin the getaway from the matrix
Stars born in the form of an orchid
Settin straight the Weathervane in my spaceship
Floatin on the warmth of the formless
Floatin
Lil dip In a bubble bath
Floatin
Lift kit on the hovercraft
Floatin
Got my floaties on
And im goin goin goin goin gone
Floatin turn the gravity down
It'll be a week fore you back on the ground
Floatin let's evaporate
Ima dance on a raft while I castaway

Dustpan Effigy
04:31

Eye pillow of bright filament flashbacks
My silhouette'll pirouette around the abstract
Nerve endins prefer epsom to the rat trap
But addicted to the kick when it snap back
Never the kid to be convinced by the that's that
Mineral grit sticks to my kicks made of brass tacks
Blue moon catch me with a broom and a black hat
Mistletoe over the ephemeral for my last dance
Not keeping score with the either or's
Halfway through season four of what the fuck is reason for?
Sandman can't stand that he's not dreaming more
Every days a collegiate course in how to take the scenic tour
Meteor with pre flight anxiety
A look on my face you could read like a diary
Like everything's all good
Truman show everybody knows thats a false-hood
Stoic poet with toes dipped in a foampit
Slow roasting my growth edge on a bone spit
Pinion snacks and hymnals stacked to the ziggurat
River rat skipper of a wicker man ghost ship
Not a soul on board
Not a single reason for me to hold on for
So its plank struts a jacknife and watery grave lust
No grief RIP cards or bagpipes n black ties
Just Black tides and blink sharks with Halloween taste buds
Heart locked in a chest where the anchors live
That hides from the light when its passed by an angler fish
Unlocked by the whispers of lost languages
Festering as the Centerpiece of gods aquarium
Got a fruity pebble sea floor
Last name boats first name Seymour
Saline solution being brewed in the deepest womb
Bathosphere with a magic mirror playing peek a boo
And it keeps getting wierder too
Listen kids this the type of shit they don't teach in schools
But they do teach home ec
Safe phone sex and how to groom a cloned pet
Yup the roombas got fleas again
All them hairballs short circuited its sequencing
So long as it can still brew the coffee
Otherwise it's Cullen are you there do you copy?
Nope
Brain fog pools around my futon
Hip joint sound like its stuffed full of croutons
Crowd hypes all sound byte no nuance
Out here tryna love all my quarks and my gluons
Is it the birth of a legacy
Or nothing but a dustpan effigy
A Quick burst of energy
Is Nothing but a dustpan effigy
There is not a cure or a remedy
I'm nothing but a dustpan effigy
Everything is perfect ill just let it be
Nothing but a dustpan effigy
It's nothing but unconditional loving
Til its time for you to sacrifice something
I could rap about navigating the umbra
But I'd rather carry on with daily functions
Country bumpkin who waits too long to change the sponges
And can stomach raw onion like its nothin
True statement i can eat two plain grapefruits
After a toothpaste deluge no frontin
Forever unbathed river otter water in the dunk tank
Brainfood spoiled by day two
Mondays its a new wave breakthrough
Tuesday its fake news
Wednesday its nothing you could ever hold a flame to
Everybody got a truth claim
But wouldn't know it if it hit em on the head and got a goose egg
Them arguments are two week like a moon phase
But they drink it up cause some people love kool aid
Not me I'm on that fresh pressed ginger drank
Life gave me lemons I ain't fuckin with that minute maid
Hard pressed to find excess in my piggy bank
Cause I ain't counting chicken eggs
I'm counting on myself to not make any big mistakes
Thats a laughable attempt
I calibrate a counterweight to catapult the stress
Enough Inertia will divert the need to grapple with the mess
And ill get to it after a little caffeine and some chess
I mean how bad could it get
The lab works on the desk
Its bad and there's only one radical treatment left
All side effects remain adverse at best
Riiiight... can we talk about this later
I got a date with a cat and a laser
Have your people hit my people my people will hit my pager
And auto sign yes I agree on all the waivers
Meanwhile its me and Zoe midnight
Arguing over whether they're rats or really big mice
Shes got an Affinity for the tick bite
Then off into infinity epitome of insight
Sandman better get to sleep
Quicksand under feathered feet
Sand castle on a pebble beach
Getting sweeped like a dustpan effigy
Is it the birth of a legacy
Or nothing but a dustpan effigy
A Quick burst of energy
Is Nothing but a dustpan effigy
There is not a cure or a remedy
I'm nothing but a dustpan effigy
Everything is perfect ill just let it be
Nothing but a dustpan effigy

Junk Drawer

You couldn't find odder colors in Picassos cupboards
Topless tuppers and art sparked from jostled jumpers
Fossil duster with a lot to uncover
And its a grind when im inside of the sprocket cluster
Why am I always buffin off the luster
Just to identify all the spots where I'm rusted
Then stash it away in my cache of aww fuck it
Folly spotter comical blunders my alma mater
Heigene is aieeeght you can fault my father
High priest of the cabal of the constant flosser
Kid with fidgets and digits with olives on em
Last call for the squadron of the pie faced high five gang
My pillow is a bag of spent rye grains
My fingers dream of shadow dancing on Steinways
In the wake they grind grains into wide planks
For me to glide straight over avalanche migraines
No trolley problems on TGI Fridays
Or CGI highways
I'd rather feast my eyes on a Lightwave
Tree rings live I could peek inside an ice age
Even eden had a dry phase
Still ima pray for sideways rain until my shrine breaks
I could have it and eat it but I don't even like cake
I dont like jello but I like the way it gyrates
I dont judge a book by how the spines shaped
But I do judge a foot by how it looks in some wine grapes
No MySpace blind dates
Just blind rage at all of life's dice games
Like I need a spy plane
Just to find the right way
To manage trying to write thangs on a tight time frame
Eyes trained on the brightside of the pyrite claim
It might take more than a croissant and a bite of melange spice cake
To get the neck of the zeitgeist craned
Five days of brined waste in a can in the driveway
Vs sustainable as a trite phrase
It leaves a bitter smack on the palate
And I could cringe at that but this ship'll wreck
If we dont mix some bags of cemented facts in the ballast
Theres food a plenty enough detritus in these ruined cities
To keep the looters busy and forevor stoop the pigeons
Remove the splinters upcycle em into tools for finches
Two for flinchin ain't a new invention
Crickets bats and nuclear weapons leveled up the losers grimace
No longer a youth on a mission thats a euphemism for crucifixion
My muse is my engine a hemi with mini Cooper pistons
But she gets super pissed when I use the kitchen and don't do my dishes
This is music for any human who is or isn't superstitious
Whats a brush for whats a brush for
Besides getting lost inside a junk drawer
Whats a brush for whats a paint brush for
Lived my whole life inside a junk drawer
Whats a brush for whats a brush for
The whole God damn world is a junk drawer
Whats a brush for
For the slight chance it might breathe some life into the unformed
Birds aren't real their imaginary avians
Inside job from back in the pre Cambrian
I Hail from the clan of the meek sapiens
Scapula reshaping into wings while I scream Adrian
From what their gathering gravity keeps failing him
So please please take me off your freaking mailing list
Yall are boring id rather gather stories from a trees radius
Wee baby steps gotta crawl before you marathon
But straight out the hole I been a head like a prairie dog
Larynx with merits from dropping carrots in the swearing jar
All aboard the carriage fore the pheromones start wearing off
This merry go is older than Jericho
The oldest polstice of flesh sulfur and sweat
On the fulcrum's edge holding my breath im still not over it yet
But even if I was id rather chew erasers for a buzz then turn Graphite into fuzz
Ill turn a halflife into a cabride with my buds
Like its my last night under the flashlight from above
No fadeaways just echoes in the alpine
And angels that breakdance on needlepoint soundbytes
Ether void outlines lost hope noises
All roads and choices lead to compost toilets
