(The Big One)
I’m milking honey out of dried up hives
I’m cutting onions up with old dull knives
Wonder why I’m crying
I’m macrodosing on the dry brown lawn
I’m selling souls that weren’t mine to pawn
Where’s my foresight gone
If I don’t split I’ll split in two
And that’s not something you can fix with glue
I heard a candle doesn’t lose its flame
By setting something else ablaze
But that’s just not the case
Everything’s burning I can’t empathize
I fall asleep on my last good side
I haven’t been on fire for a while
Trusty canary goes berserk
Living alarm goes right to work
I plug my ears, wait for it to pass
That little birdie chirped its last
When the big one comes
Will I learn to scream in my native tongue?
Somewhere in that losing streak
I will regret this long work week
So have some fun while you are able
Nihilistic joke at the board room table
Will your stocks make dividends
When all your former friends are dead?
Now the coast has ceased to burn
Wondering if you will ever learn
What causes shit to hit the fan
This one’s not in the almighty’s plan
Siberia’s looking better by the minute
Hope that they will let refugees in it

(Greatest Apes)
I could only beg for freedom since the falling out
And atom just divorced itself
Two’s too man feelings to be felt
So by splitting up we split ourselves
Half went to hell
Reaching for sweet seclusion like a rotted rung
That’s when I think the silence stopped being fun
What gods we’ve become
Trebuchet our trash into the sun
Some small spasms in passing on
Let go and let me know what it’s gone
I sure will miss my childhood home
But even the greatest apes crawl under porch to die alone

(Terraforming)
Draining out the swamp you saw a sickly sight
Something you had tried so hard to leave behind
A frog that had your face shared with you its song
“Don’t you remember me? Or has it been that long?
I’m the long abused true muse
To share with you some sordid news
You opened a gate to a fully fucked place
There live a slew of malicious shapes
That’ll crawl on through to spread their hate”
You didn’t quite buy the words he had to say
Pleased with terraforming you had done today
“Hit the road you toad, hater stay away”
Took a well-earned rest beneath a cypress’ shade
Later awoke to the strong smell of smoke
This is behavior even God can’t condone
How do you plan to atone on your own
Bishops and saints don’t pick up the phone
Just canned replies and dial tones
Making lapse in judgment
Leaking facts to public
Sorry sack of nervous ticks
Taking flack for all of it
You thought you knew the truth
Now I’ll fix your point of view
Vile things roam free
Looking like humanity
Hoped that you knew this
But you can’t define “hubris”
You thought you knew the truth
Now I’ll fix your point of view
No mourning earth, it’s just water and dirt
