something 05:06
i found something in the ground whispering softly to itself it spoke of the whole world working in tow with the resonant hum of the universe that something was stuck in a world of dust but it had wisdom in its eyes dont think it liked it there anyway so i chomped it down and thought maybe now i can feel the wholeness ive been looking for is this how it is to be complete? to feel controlled by your meat? id stomp this earthly town to know the answer that something said id rather lose my head than ever be beneath one of your boots when morning came i saw id been rotting away decaying with the habits i didnt want to perpetuate that something was the only remaining cause for the misery id swallowed and hoarded (slow the ground beneath your feet, ill let you breathe just let me eat. i need a host to feed on, so sing your songs and smoke your weed. plz stop. you dont know what your saying, without me you're vacant, reverse the awakening, go back to when your body was my plaything, just say that you're faking, dont end this relation. dwell in ur head, dont leave ur bed, who am i kidding? this is the end.) i stuck my hand down my throat for the something that had plagued me most and now was blocking up all of my passageways by now id probably torn my insides up but it was better than living without clarity that something said i am soon to be dead so thank you for all the food you have given me

sauce toss 04:48
Saw your face by a colored light Woke up late got me feeling alright And the sight of you was quite astounding The sound of your giggle has the earth resounding Put a crown on you, you can do what you want to All I require is some attention from you Whoever molded that skin was skilled with clay Whatever fears you got I’ll wash em all away But grass stains litter your pretty white dress And every time you speak I start to feel obsessed And messes in my room turn into confessions Bout late night crafting and much needed lessons Sleepy eyes glitter, not a sitter, but I’ll fit her Into my cigarette case laced with joints And crystal topaz Intrusive thoughts ain't never been this bad But had you not come along I think I would have squandered Any possibility of loneliness conquered Let's wander the ashes of last love lost Your softness is appealing let me make you A sauced tossed salad Or sing you another fuckin ballad How valid would these words be when rapidly processing Them into something that could be spoken I’ll never judge you when your skin is broken And I’m looking forward to when we can create A fairy house that rests by the lake Or a song that shows our musical intake Or something that makes us wanna be awake For the taking of liberties and erasure of atrocities I wanna be your 3 am call for relief I wanna know the way you paint colors on my sheets I’ll save you from the chaos of dirty old streets Ill fearlessly fight off corrupt OPD As long as I can look to you beside me Cuz B, I’m new to this Just wanna try you out, hope ur cool with it I'll tie your shoes and squeeze your tits Make the best crude pair of rebellious kids Like we don't even know what real love is But that's the fun of doing this shit Taste it, breathe it, kill it, be it Melt away into a puddle of secrets Believe it, I’m here for you I'll break my back til my lips turn blue Less shudder a smack from your mother too Desire to be wired through and through With cords unless they're made of you Take a sip of my cosmic love brew Cuz you always will be worth it World is your body and your mind is a circus Promise to never leave you deserted Keep on coming as the world keeps turnin Burnin desire stays ripe on the fire A proprietor with not much to require Fly higher like you didn’t know you could Yes, lil mama, I will do you good And I probably should It’s what you deserve Gotta work up the nerve Work up the nerve Got the type of aura that emanates a glow Bubbles in my vision and dirt under my toes Now I’ve got the faith of puppy love sticking to my feet And my combat boots are stepping to a beat And I think being with you makes me able to eat No pain in this defeat, only humbleness Your body tastes sweet, let me buy you succulents I'll only use my knife for cutting off tattoos And when the day’s over pour rocks from my shoes With you?

scandal 04:39
Sick with an attraction to the criminal mind Inclined to smarts but not yet refined Swallow pseudonyms and juggle lines of Love for a bigger gap in time The silhouette in an open window The girth of hands hitherto unknown A face unseen but an unmatched kisser A hungry beast who dyes his whiskers (Oh oh) Won't you please be my scandal? Won't you please be my scandal? I’ll handle The dripping mouth of tainted taste, The butterflies, the growing waste, Gashing thighs, tempting fate, The headlines this would make (Oh oh) This is the bear’s stomach: Filled with honey bees A name you whispered, eyes that blister Yellow turn my knees A tempt you ooze like poison oak I’ll scratch you til my skin is broke But it won't ever be enough, Forgive the bluff, forbidden stuff Won't you please be my scandal? Won't you please be my scandal? I’ll handle The dripping mouth of tainted taste, The butterflies, the growing waste, Gashing thighs, tempting fate, The headlines this would make (Oh oh) This is the taste of innocence Whose boiling point is vengence Do I hum in dissonance? Must condemnation be imminent? Within the cast and boiled coat My skin will rot, my voice will float The messy ties of cyber ropes Suspended lies, dashing hopes Won't you please be my scandal? Won't you please be my scandal? I’ll handle The dripping mouth of tainted taste, The butterflies, the growing waste, Gashing thighs, tempting fate, The headlines this would make I am silk, and soft, and altogether mine I’m in control, I know I will be alright I learn this way So tell me do I get an A? Gotta be safe for another week more Your mastery has left me floured A fantasy, but I still want more Fellas my age are such a bore Won't you please be my scandal? Won't you please be my scandal? I’ll handle The dripping mouth of tainted taste, The butterflies, the growing waste, Gashing thighs, tempting fate, The headlines this would make (Oh oh)

Gaia 05:02
wake up to the sound of the earth communing with the ground sit up and stretch my arms high well the thunder likes it loud and lightning illuminates the clouds and water crashes down from the sky i wanna dance for a while in bad weather i am so floured by the way the world works i wanna fall in love with every creature humans need to be respectful to you, Gaia, let me be your preacher grey mixes with blue and dirt clumps onto my shoes as nature's temper tantrum subsides i see creepy crawlies awaken all the things that had been waiting for momma to expend her need to cry to the trees they will cling all my friends in the woods i wanna have pretty wings like my friends in the woods i am so floured by the way the world works i wanna fall in love with every creature humans need to be respectful to you, Gaia, let me be your preacher my joy for life runs deep like a sappy thing ill seep creativity like never seen before all the faeries start to sing and dance around in a ring an abundant celebration to explore how i wish it could be this way for everyone i am so floured by the way the world works i wanna fall in love with every creature humans need to be respectful to you, Gaia, let me be your preacher dance and repeat, i'm grateful for all i have every part of me is grateful for all i have
