Neuron 03:58
I’m lost, hollow body adrift. Pieces of my soul swimming through the clouds without me. Body aches. Slowly open myself, so none can see me. I won't let myself be free. Eyes so dark. Fractured, red and black. Familiar sounds spin around, inside and out. Please don't let my feet touch the floor. Light projects, splits me in two. I never know which side to choose. Culture and comforts. Frightened or charmed. Held hostage wherever I lay head. Eyes so dark. Fractured, red and black. Familiar sounds spin around, inside and out. Please don't let my feet touch the floor.

Nerve 05:01
Light comes to me Stir me awake, every nerve reigning over me. Every ache. All my nerves, serpents and snakes. Walls come down when the lights are off. A few drinks to fill the holes in my head. Pick me up from my soul. No clarity, no confidence until I turn over and see you again. Stir me awake, every nerve reigning over me. Every nerve. Every ache. All my nerves, serpents and snakes. She picks me up from the cracks in my soul. The sun reflects and breathes life into my chest. Pull me forward. Promises not to resist. No more rotten fruit, No more bruises to the touch. Cool air inside and out. I can feel the sun from both sides.

Vessel 02:59
Chain gang mind, shattering all reason. Fingers like vultures, piece by piece, tearing myself apart. Nestled against your skin. Fragile steps. Shove it all back into a corner. Close the door. I will not accept your words written on this page. I will tear out the worst, and strike the rest. No more black eyes, swimming through clouds and rain. I will devour this cage and write the next page. I will write the next page.

Amygdala 01:52

Alveoli 05:25
Time stretches slowly. Chaos in the dark. Warm to the touch. Every clock, staring at me. Unending disruption. Empty promises, fragile to the touch. Surrounded by love, but buried in glass. Lavish reflection, I concede this for you. Sing us something sweet. Strike a match, every thought, and exhale these ashes. Prop me up. Carry on. I think I've had enough, but dare not say. Crashed through the wall. Anyone see? Identical secrets, but noneone knows. We breathe the same air, ashes and despair. Lavish reflection, I concede this for you. Sing us something sweet. Strike a match, every thought, and exhale these ashes. Take my arm. Hold my hand. Gentle breeze. Cool to the touch. One step, then two. Below the waves is where we will lose the crowd. Below the waves is where we will share the sound.

Marrow 04:44
A midnight stroll into the ocean, the moon’s gold washes over me. Feast on the marrow, innermost secrets, black sea. Suffocating, under my skin. Which way out? I trip, I stumble, and then I am set free. As simple as a smile, the easiest of gestures. Move from corner to corner. You have yours; I have mine. Similarities, I will trace all the lines, but spin off into distance in spite of all of that. Bruises on both sides of my head. Warm glow inside of my chest. Body gently humming, the quietest of steps. Foolishly thinking, ruminating, this is my own. I am not alone. As simple as a smile, the easiest of gestures. Move from corner to corner. You have yours; I have mine. Similarities, I will trace all the lines, but spin off into distance in spite of all of that. Brush aside the cobwebs and find my corner.

Cortex 10:09
Thief! You stole the inside of me. I think you know why. I think you know how. Beware of what you've become. No illusions or martyrs here. Dark water pulls us down. Come back up for one short breath. Buried below again. Lies! Spoon fed. Taste one more. Dull teeth. Is this supposed to hurt? I will keep quiet if that is how it works. Lend me a disguise. Fade into the crowd. Beware of what you've become and beware of what you've done. No illusions or martyrs here. Dark water pulls us down. Come back up for one short breath. Where is my fire? Buried below again. Villain! Listen closely. I won't let go. I know this room. I've buried this once before. I'll hide the wound.
