One seventh nitrogen

Lips so swollen, try again, try again

There were others, but I think I could forget them, forget them

Rotating like a single cell in a heart pump lying in a spent fuel well

I’m an engine of mercy in search of a sail

My frame won’t float, water runs off the rail

Real time echoes landing right in front of the source

I’m an endless amusement, an abandoned race course

Skyline adjusting the to edge of the park

Let the lions lay me down, now, I’m lighting off with the larks

Time, make me superwise

Make all my choices anodyne

Just laugh at me when you want to reduce me, but

I’m summer’s high

I gotta get outta here

I’m just flesh pulled thru skin and a lazy tear

Nine worlds to conquer, interior, interior, interior

Blood flows, but the limbs are still cold

It’s a death sentence if you know how far north you can go

I’m a teenage monolith, and I forgo pleasure for the sake of a whim

It starts when the swallows all abandon their nests

Just to line up for handouts they can feed to their pets, and

Everybody thought it was cool

Til the blood banks pressed us down and carbon made us a jewel

Time, make me superwise

Make all my choices anodize

Just laugh at me when you want to reduce me, but

I’m summer’s high

I refuse to go quietly down

All I said was sorry but now I’m saying thank you thank you thank you

All I said was sorry but now I’m saying thank you thank you thank you

All I said was sorry but now I’m sorry I said it
