lyrics

I'm no telephony guy
I push infinity rods
entangle light
and sit and wright
and trip on riverbed floors -
'til I fucked up and got lost
then found my way like a boss
and in that moment realized
what the mushroom
had intended this for -
she said; "get back to the source,
you aint so soft, you're hardcore
but if you're gonna hold the light
then that's what deep breathing's for."
[...]
and then the river went calm
and she extended her palm
and I became the withered sentiment
of the sediment's psalm.

the diasporic embalming,
this tour is always evolving
and when it fails
become the nail
in the harmonic enlightening.

I boiled lavender envy
and sniffed it out of the neti
and held the hand of my yeti
until my psyche was ready
to reconcile the pretending,
this archetypical rendering
is the result of defending
all of this ego in frenzy,
when it's more about
the surrendering.

heart broken, heart open
is the same orphan unspoken
and in the morning we morph
into the glowing and groaning
and all the growing and owning,
floating, twisting, uproaring
channeling in a greater devotion
to a more meaningful moment.
