half pass 00:57
you ride a horse? they give out scholarships for this? to ride an animal for sport like 1812? old money old sport, you ride a fucking horse old money old sport, the canter of your colt it makes you see truly how a horse girl thinks when you can’t keep up with how much they drink now let me guess i bet you work in wyoming? or an agriculture job somewhere outside new york old money old sport, you ride a fucking horse

tape your mouth shut i can hear every whisper that you say, it’s as if you want them to listen i think that i can talk my way out of this there is no finer speciality then a load of horseshit i think you like that, you don’t want the truth you only want to hear what satisfies you wait, i feel the clench of my teeth, the air dissolve around me do you believe what you hear to be seen? the blood seeps into my lungs, my first instinct is to run into the arms of your embrace i fall away from grace, as i lie through my teeth to survive another day i fall away from grace, as i lie through my teeth to count my money here in peace

processing / error code processing / detaching now from a year built in this empty house filled with delusions things will work out to watch slowly as lovers fallout take on new forms of doubt well, this is useless. that i know. to construct on foundation this broke there is no sense, hanging on. when it’s been made clear there’s more than one this is useless. that i know. to construct on foundation this broke i can’t make you stick around, a new fish in the pond must explore all the options presented to her, and to realize that i’m a bore

core charge 00:46
stuck, inside this box of bad dreams freezing with no heat stop, to smell the roses and ask yourself is it ethical to throw my body down a well? i think there’s benefits, to give my conscious a break and gift the world a bit of silence from my crooked beak my battery’s dead, it simply won’t take a charge, drag my limp body to the store a for a new one
5.
still, the quiet of night but don’t let your guard down, not now the british are sneaky, they want back their land no news of ghent wait for the whites of their eyes then it’s time, to show them demise press on, flank them with shell and fire, show them their god thousands will die in new orleans on this night
6.
wake myself up before the game and get my ass in the car to get down to 75th and state line to gamble my last dime to recoup my loss from last night i don’t have a problem i swear i’m just up a 100 here and there, maybe down 12(k) but that don’t matter cause i’ll just make it back one day on some left field parlay with my luck i’ve been known to make a bad choice or two and i think maybe that this could qualify as one of those things but when the money hits the endorphins kick and you think no wonder why that you’re hooked on it you take a bite of it, and next thing you the know they find you in a pit are you in? let’s make this game interesting the dollar rules my life, corrupting sport to vice in 5 years don’t be surprised, if i’m found dead playing dice
7.
waking up with a disease that forever changes me punishing me for my time spent chasing down dead end temptations scarring delicate flesh just to feel something again demoralizing extent of your body’s natural function yet why can i not die? i’ve seem to lost track of time once again holding this gun in my hand i cannot wrap my head around this question if not for you, then how did i contract this thing that bars me from love and intimacy til i die, I’m marked for life ain’t it a shame
