what a waste Aug 2016
I'm just a kid trying to have fun
who happens to have a jungle gym
for a tongue.
what a waste Aug 2016
No wonder my clay pigeon utterances
suffer that upper class belittlement.
Raised chins only face one way
and the sun only knows one thing.
You gotta see to shoot, so who's to blame:
me, the game, or those who blindly partake?

Eat my metaphors.
Let 'em bubble up in your gut then
metamorph into hiccups wickeder than anything this side of the thicket has ever witnessed.

Preach from the streets,

how you heard from the greatest

and she replied, "Just fine."
then smiled me a goodnight

Probably not
Coincidental

Gravity falls
sweep me up

In a grand game of cat and mouse cadence
what a waste Aug 2016
Wake me up after
the comet becomes crater
And the impact radius
breaks the sound barrier
Pushing your eyelids back past
your misplaced judgements
Splintering your precious pendants
to their brittle core
Let me dream a little more,
it's the futile things
that I adore
