two weeks in this privileged lens these time-like frames are all the same I'd cut them into intervals if those geometries were possible if there's an into it I hope I get it if there's an end to it I hope it ends ok many worlds filled up with laws causal pasts false algebras

Your Teeth 03:06
sometimes your teeth get it in the way of mine and things you want to say your past still haunts you but I don't want to I'll try averting my eyes meditation and peroxide your past still haunts you but I don't want to I want to believe you're learning to let it go

looping the laces trying on the shoes is 10,000 paces to you swiping at faces could kill an afternoon what is it doing to you don't wanna waste a day leading today's inactive lifestyles taking your chances isn't much the same with 10,000 answers a day turning the pages is more than you can do when no one's expecting you to don't wanna waste a day leading today's inactive lifestyles out in the ether sprawled around your room 10,000 pieces of you trying to shape them into a point of view is more than you're willing to do don't wanna waste a day leading today's inactive lifestyles

Off White 02:42
waiting for the word on digital display I wish I had the nerve to keep my nerves at bay holding to a pole to still my shaking hand I still don't understand where all of this began could've lived unknowing my whole life now it's keeping me up at night is it off white? eggshell? the truth is I can't tell I'm overthinking it so long on this beach with service out of reach and every grain of sand searching me for grief I don't wanna know how it all unfolds speaking paragraphs into an answer phone

Todo es Todo 03:36
I stepped into a purple dawn collapsed within myself focused in on all imagined sounds what was left of my frozen breath I rationed up for running the pavement was indifferent to it all in the fog of labored thought that spun so tight around me it wasn't much to chase me up the wall then a simple fact emerged among the sanitation carts: "the chicken lady hardly knew at all" now I see everything is everything and nothing at all

take it slow you're so dizzy taking time between sighs take it slow you're uneasy take it so you won't die take it slow you're so healthy cutting back on sulfites take it slow you're still breathing take it so you won't die take it slow you're still breathing take it so you're not trying take it so soon you'll be leaving take it so you won't die take it slow you're so dizzy taking time between sighs take it slow you're uneasy take it so you won't die

Lying Flat 04:05
never really notice things vision's so unclear to me falling deep in barreled sleep lying flat on my back don't really miss anything doesn't make me precious living apart it's a sense of self-regard I feel the rhythm of the leaves a firmament of energy I don't care who laughs last gone unseen in my warm machine pictures seem too real to me don't really need them at all
