we gonna breathe this whole thing. the more i think about it we were never on the same page. you never thought i would be so involved, no you never thought i would be so involved. the more i think about it we were always solving mistakes. i would climb inside your little mind and now your eyes are opaque. it’s hazy kind of safe. like a bath that i’m sitting in, skin begins wrinkling. believe that’s all that i could take. and i made you my indulgence because indulgent was the way that you stayed, and one of us had to change. now i’m searching for a sound to drown out the pound of my heart that says our moment of darkness was a permanent phase. but you probably got afraid. the topography has changed. i’m imploding in your wake. and escape from an escape. i don’t think that i was ever meant to be your resident sage. i never thought it would be so involved, no i never thought it would be so involved. i would try to guide you but you locked yourself inside your own cage. you were like an alkaseltzer tossed into infinity’s shore. you dissolved down to your core. but then your core became a sponge and in the psychedelic struggling you’re saturated, all absorbed. you’re a herald to the chaos and you’re excellent at finding it more. you revel in staying sore. now you’re picking at a scab, elaborate fantastical fight because a permanent plight will make for better folklore. your problem with books and your problem with bugs. what a massive cackle from a frame that was so fragile and frail. too ecstatic to inhale. and the wings of your skittishness didn’t merely flitter they just spanned so wide they had to flail. obsessed about an energy you generated naturally yourself. you didn’t need extra help. now your physical expired, retired to separate peace to finally get off your feet and take a hejira trail.
