sustainability
draped with a conscious
move past it
you will only
help prevent it
policy and debate
heat is a permit
a slice of wedding cake
your nameless cat
her daughter Liberty
don't try to tell me
because when i cover my ears
i'll only say back to you
yeah i can't really hear
i can't really hear
i can't really hear
i can't really hear
i can't really hear
i can't really hear
can't
can't really hear
can't really hear

hid under a bed
your love for me
is divided equally among other 4 other children
that you watch over
like a father
punch a window
get rid of something you don't want
tell your son about God
and the love he put inside of me
the love you labeled, yours
i am gullible
like your eldest
but i'm fucking over it
well i will be
as soon as i change my mailing address
(im wearing a dress)

almost took a train
in daylight
to see something
in daylight
the swedish flag
made a place
in my heart
with real light surrounding
end a phone call
with a darker light around
i'll call you back
and start it then
fear is the only thing
other than anxiety
that has been resting at my ankles
the past 4 months
a heavy friend
wanting the pressure lifted
asking for a favor
to be considered light
but he's not light
almost walked
in daylight

ethics kissing
ethics, kissing
fracking, is a kind friend
one, that i've forgiven
water boiling
oh, sleep soundly
an assumption, off to sea
sudden realization
that some of the worst tragedies
include, my good friend fracking
yeah my good friend
brush it off, her hair
revolving door
speak a language that doesn't exist
she gets so upset, over
how you interpret her ethics
because she only buries a threat
after you theorize it
but she, remembers that simile with snow
let fracking,
let fracking go
let fracking go
let fracking go

clocks laugh
Mr. Anders told me "head outside"
so i did, and it was out of the corner of my eye
where i saw where flowers rest
i gifted my condolences
as "i'm here for you"
he didn't ask but if he did
i wouldn't know what to say to him
maybe something like
"if my sister died, i would die
to know where she
would finally rest"
and then he'd probably ask me
"but you have another sister,
and two brothers,
what about them?"
"well of course them too,
i was just trying to relate
to what you had lost
on Tuesday
i mean, i'm very sorry, i am
i don't want to encourage patience
but i once thought,
that i'd never see this flowerbed"
