Non-Objective Portrait Of Karma

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Ignorance is bliss no wise woman's failed to mention

and surely some koan suggests 'neglect leads to perfection'

but the more I turn my face from the crowd

the more I feel my backs' increasingly compelled

for the sake of escape, to turn a knife on itself,

a knife of relief, from all the petty insight

and finally I'll sleep, I'll sleep through the night.

Bored as fuck with this street corner-cover.

study of a face in a figure. surveying this language as a game

surveilence of this language as the plague.

the dimension of persistence condemns.

This portrait of karma, crafted in accident

text book seduction, minus the text in the language of ghosts

and so we ran, like the wolves were biting,

the inhibitions of their prey kept them from screaming

"scratch my back and I will stab you in yours"

so I chose to live this life alone, without the teeth marks

but I predict, I'll have to sink my fangs in someone else's heart to heal my own.

just a victim's split, one part for the wolves, one part for you.

but I'll grow weary soon, weary of this fractal code,

weary of this hallway lined with ghosts.

just a scratch upon the skin, a drop of blood to let them in

their words will cause the sweetest fracture from a stone's throw

just a scratch upon the skin, a drop of blood to welcome them

parasitic, viral critics, or lovers, like spirits mingling in the mist

that we crafted, a starving jury, let them eat shit from our trembling hands.

The heat for heat's sake, on this Barnard block of Congress

deductively speaking, the polar of progress

well maybe I put too much faith in the accident

entranced, we danced toward the ripest display of escape

let the starving ghosts feats, from this flesh, from these bones,

let them all feast. In this chess game of language, forced to sit so I play all alone, watch the bathos drift forth like the petals from a wild crafted rose.
