I got demons at my bed side At night they keep these eyes wide There always a devil to the left or right That I keep in my peripheral sight And theres an angel on my shoulder but he won’t tell me what to do So I’m losing faith in sanity just like I lost faith in you I won’t stick to what I know I keep on looking for something knew This place is full of spectres And they all look just like you The world keeps on turning Stuck on repeat and thats what I hate most So if inspiration should strike me then I’d be a gracious host For now I say fuck it Lets raise glasses Make another toast To used to the monstrous midwest To keep California dreaming of the coast Bumping gums at a juice joint Half seas over A lean away on the make And toots I’m hardboiled Spy a little light shining round the corner How the hoi polloi adored her Oh she aint used to the boredom Oh no one could afford her And this dames a dime piece A minx with moxie Sharpened claws and a bright disease I waltz with the breeze ask if she’s rationed Want to collect a few pennies from heaven Nods with no question Grabs the barkeep and they necking The parlor distracted and clapping Pocketing the mazuma with no flash of my weapon Thats the cue to boot and scoot with no direction Mentioned she’s not the type that would cash him The banks closed he would never cash in And I’m no flapper still a little bashful A little ragamuffin rascal My talons on the billfold not afraid of robes and sickles nix the wooden nickels What a gas she giggled To hell with being civil This way of life is simple Top hats and thimbles Bearcats and Bimbos Bearcats and Bearcats and Bearcats and Bimbos Lets wake the snakes tenfold Lets wake the snakes tenfold Lets wake the snakes and wake the snakes and wake the snakes Make a change Lets wake the snakes in the amber grain I couldn’t help but grin I gave her the wind I couldn’t help but grin she’s subterranean She gave me the wind She gave me the wind She couldn’t help but grin We shared the wind

It’s such a sweet relief when you’re released by the leech Reassess the damage try to fix the leaks Convince the wounds not to weep It really makes you think Was I ever in control It’s such a sweet relief when you’re released by the leech Couples hold on to you singles when jump through the portal Transferred to a new dimension full of racy strippers trying to gain the best pole position Pause hit the switch to reset Lets try not to forget It’s such a sweet relief when you’re released by the leech Drinking whiskey in the champagne room while I get the milk for free Ill need a wet nap after this wet dream Who needs sleep Counting Bo peeps It’s such a sweet relief when you’re released by the leech About to quantum leap Renewed my membership to the Gym Jones My demons are out of shape they need exercising Wipe down the Mystery Machine The ectoplasm is materializing Tell Norville and Scoobert to buy some Visine So the police believe the story when they arrive at the scene Drinking fake piss and vinegar to get clean Making these ends meet Floating to the sea with one foot in the grave running out of steam Burying Samuel Clemens and Mark Twain a fathom a piece It’s such a sweet relief when you’re released by the leech Decaying faster than a leper No cure to the disease People falling apart is a common thing The dead are waltzing When the instruments stop screaming the walls quit talking Does your heart still murmur a skewed belief Such a sweet relief

Melting rocks with words drowning this happy hour Telling others to wait counting change on the counter Smurfing in the streets the yokels hoot and holler Tied my thoughts to a balloon string during thunder shower Brain storming the angered clouds grow louder Their electric veins pulsate and my mind dances on the wire No longer lingering Swinging on satellites Another fever dream on a midsummer night Blue moon walking pulling up daisies In the midnight sun the horizons never shady Sleeping on stairs to keep my head up off the floor Waiting for the sun to rise up and spread the warmth Patience is a virtue best served cold Let it be know Life always pays in full Wheres my earn will be written on my tombstone Your surroundings a reflection of your soul Buried in the Earth uncountable black holes Our universe is parallel Im peering through the veil No longer lingering Swinging on satellites Another fever dream on a midsummer night Blue moon walking pulling up daisies In the midnight sun the horizons never shady Wake up to shed yesterdays dead skin Slide on my chameleon suit but never fit in Not quite lost in the crowd with no-one trying to find me I hear a voice whisper you’re not alone Don’t remind me Caught in a constant rewind Questioning the linear movement of time Memories feel like reading a strangers diary But I know that for one moment This moment was mine No longer lingering Swinging on satellites Another fever dream on a midsummer night Blue moon walking pulling up daisies In the midnight sun the horizons never shady Turning on a dime Deciding instead to pour wine and break bread Holding on to my hypothalamus as I try to clear my flooded head Wondering if your gears are still turning Is that house from your childhood still burning Did you stop teaching or did I just stop learning Still mourning Ghouls in the cemetery tend to misbehave Upset since the day I danced my two left feet out of the grave No longer lingering Swinging on satellites Another fever dream on a midsummer night Blue moon walking pulling up daisies In the midnight sun the horizons never shady

Ive never seen anything clearer Swimming in the red rivers of sclera Locked in your sight Lost in your eyes As I’m drowning in the waves of the iris I tend to black out more since I moved out on my own The only time when this house feels like a home But I’m never alone no matter where the wild things roam And I still have it all including the world in my palm Enough monkeying around In the trees is where I belong Its not a single thing thats wrong Its everything Wishing my mind could speak Instead my brain just leaks Porous from all the psychedelic treats Pour us something to drink Give me something to think Someone to be These lessons don’t come free A broken flat rate fee Not including the cost of living Live, don’t die with regret Don’t doubt the debt Or the master scar left on your Discover card Now you’re lost in the bloom Tearing off your last minute costume You never should have worn Stepping over your donated organs on the floor Continuously knocking on the back of purgatory’s front door Wondering if theres anything more Ive never seen anything clearer Swimming in the red rivers of sclera Locked in your sight Lost in your eyes As I’m drowning in the waves of the iris Im having trouble landing After 12 hours off planet My parents ask where I’m headed and if ill be back Like I planned it I try to explain that navigation is long term for an extraterrestrial Without signs of direction all of my landmarks are celestial And this could be a God complex But theres nothing complex about it I spent 24 years being humble My ego is hungry and my restraint just retired Tried to keep my mouth shut Heard “I’m not racist, but” and my patience expired A nation who feels a right to complacency As long as Ive got apps I don’t care if my phone is tapped But you can’t look me in the eyes and tell me what you see Every blank stare is a prisoner of belief not yet set free Now I swim through the cosmos And the darkness looks back As a thousand iris’s illuminate the black Lost cosmonauts that took different paths The only direction thats clear Is that we’re not going back Ive never seen anything clearer Swimming in the red rivers of sclera Locked in your sight Lost in your eyes As I’m drowning in the waves of the iris
