From the Destination
03:21
|
|||
It all happened fast/An absent-minded climb/Sped up the arrival/Here in record time/An improvised script/A toneless dialogue/Bracketed sarcasm/Labeled for the log/Compromising focus /On our way to Expectations/Dismissing the map and letting down our guard/Stopping by/Logging in/Name any verb preposition/Full value of the control card/Pocket buzz and dings/The 8 O'Clocking glance/Lit up face and
Neck/Hunched forward in a trance/Six minutes later/Statistically a lock/To forget what we just did/To just forget the clock/Touching Base/Checking In/Hello from the destination/And the surface feeling we're where we belongIf liked then we recommend/Agree to terms and conditions/The algorithms likely can't be wrong/We can do anything as long as it's nothing in real time/Don't look up there's nothing to see the control is down here/We've been warned and we should know/ Of the Doldrums decades ago/We just never needed the car/Waiting for defense from the swarm/Reminding time bark in dog form/Where should be and where we are now

The Implication
03:31
|
|||
I can assign you a title and invoke it when giving a gold star/But I can’t tell you you’re special however I can listen when they say you are/That’d make your talents and choices a powerful engine no direction bestowed/So you’re a series of noises revving loud but never hitting the road/Outbursts tantrums straws of wishes grasped as a means to cope/Just because I don’t have faith doesn’t mean I’m not brimming with hope/I’m just a creature of habit/Execution in spite of hormonal moods/They bounce up just like a rabbit/A vision of awe while self-doubt eludes/Mondays no longer seem so bad admitting it makes me afraid/Maybe it was bad advice to love how we get paid/You’re the implication of when I acted or refused to budge/The implication for everyone to judge/Time’s temporary construction documented by your age’s numeral/Inevitable destruction Your next birthday serves as the funeral/Cynicism’s but a device for seeking cheap self-esteem/Death’s the current and we’re lucky for decades to swim upstream/You’re the implication of when I acted or refused to budge/The implication for everyone to judge

Other
03:53
|
|||
I can see an unjust other typing along in the absence of a mother/Probably stiff arming a hand in the face of everything for which we stand/I believe the worst of the other/Without your support we could be facing yet another/I know the other is on the wrong side/My cruelty is officially justified/Oh he’d love to live his idealist dreams but we know they can be taken to the deep extremes/Do we really want to live in the vision of the other/When you look at the cycle of history somehow you’ll see what I want to see/We’re headed straight into the excesses of the other/We’ve got to stop the other/We’ll have right on our side as long as we’re victims/Always be victims/We can never be wrong as long as we’re victims/Always be victims/We’ve got to stop the other

Six Month Friend
04:40
|
|||
With so many new reach out avenues/No urgent sense to see you/It’s not the message I want to send/To my best six month friend/Seven O’Clock caffeine/To be my best out of my routine/It’s not the energy I want to expend/With my best six month friend/They’ll be there until the day you discover they’re lying/A one-time coupon sold with a membership’s tone/Without expectations nothing can be disappointing/The peace comes from realizing you’re all alone/That’s how I find peace in the end my six month friend

Time We're Working
04:41
|
|||
Empty wishes/Dirty dishes/A new set of each waiting for us in 24 hours/A different joy to employ/The loss of the old throws a tantrum before it cowers/Because I just can't stand the thought of losing you/Not to someone else but the process that we choose/And the time we're working to apply the glue/Magic wand/Metallic bond/The finite duration of the sensation of forever/Dance and duel/A new molecule/Unwillingness to accept its possible to sever/Because I just forgive and find parity/Fester bitterness and animosity/And the time we're working my skin's density/The wise that I crack from the corner of my mouth/You just can't take me so seriously/From nine moving clockwise, over the top/To dead end frustration at three/Because I find if time is a distance what is one more/Mile on a road either 2 or 394/And the time to discover something to explore

Razor's Edge Time
04:25
|
|||
Why be a stick in the mud/Why wonder what's in store/Why even put in the time/Why ask for anything more/How could this just happen/How come you gotta be like that/How about you take a seat/How come you can't relax/How is it comfort's become/But a past life's memento/I figure I’m in for a Razor’s Edge time coming back/Thinking these topics are nothing but a stall/I wonder with the impending Razor’s Edge time how you’ll react/It’s tough to say if I’ll be back at all/What if I'm trying too hard/What if I'm doing it wrong/I should reconsider/And I do belong/Who can tell the difference/Who is a friend/Who's using automation/Who knows to spot a good when/When I'm on a wagon/Awaiting inevitable lapse and fall/I figure I’m in for a Razor’s Edge time coming back/Thinking these topics are nothing but a stall/I wonder with the impending Razor’s Edge time how you’ll react/It’s tough to say if I’ll be back at all

The Man
03:53
|
|||
The careful confuse caution with intellect/Mistaking themselves for a good choice to select/The wise fool with the credit score to be proud of/He's got nothing on the kid who gained your love/My hero is the man that you loved/Sometimes you have to wonder if I've outgrown/The charm I had out of my comfort zone/The isn't a crisis more of an inward plea/Not denying age or its prophesy/But finding a way to once again be the man you loved/Pragmatism is worthless without passion behind it/The isn't a crisis more of an inward plea/Not denying age or its prophesy/But finding a way to once again be the man you loved

Offline
03:50
|

Waiting to be the one you picked/I'm blue/A hyperlink unclicked/A circle of red urgency generation/An emboldened tone notification/I'm feeling minimized/Or worse sent to the archives/I'm not selling books electronics or toys/I'm the signal amongst the noise/Soon my love will be nothing but stored text/To you it doesn't matter because data never forgets/Learn your lesson from this fable/I'm showing a green dot available/But soon I'll be orange with a clock/There but not present gone for a walk/Soon my love will be nothing but stored text/To you it doesn't matter because data never forgets/When you can see my entered address/No page found the code's a mess/You waited too long if I may opine/My screen's gone black and I'm offline
