Calico and a dove

Dominos mirrored in the windowpane

Vertigo, as above

So below, locking eyes with hurricanes

Do you know what you love

Will it grow, will it fade or stay the same

Sharp needle drawing blood

From a stone, chlorophylling up my veins

I caught a dangerous bouquet

Is this the last time I'll see ivy grow and die

I watched my body float away

A spark to objectify, flying unidentified

Promise to stop depending

On you for comfort and maybe

Pulling the rug from my feet

Would make my standing less shaky

Promise to block the ember

Don't let my body burn baby

I think the world is ending

So won't you bury me in the

Tornado and a flood

Reap and sow, cutting down the cherry tree

Landscape won't survive on

Status quo map of ideology

Tomorrow will become

A shadow covering society

Afterglow of the Sun

Will overflow eyes with sparklers of phosphenes

I saw a comet of debris

Bleeding the moonlight out of your starry eyes

I tried to read the lines between

Sorry that's classified, at least we can say we tried

Promise to stop pretending

That I've been sleeping well lately

Daydreams of pepper and Peach

But I don't need you to save me

Promise to block the ember

Until it's cloudy and raining

I think the world is ending

So won't you bury me in the

Burning sandcastles turning into glass

Figure 8 rotate to reset the past

Burning letter sign turning into ash

Double 8 on a pill and photograph

Burning sandcastles turning into glass

Figure 8 rotate to reset the past

Burning letter sign turning into ash

An 8th is a 4th changing form and exploring

Oromise to stop contending

If we could make it back safely

I'm scaling bluffs on muir beach

But I can't feel my heart racing

(I saw a comet of debris)

Promise to block the ember

(Bleeding the moonlight out of your starry eyes)

Until your vision gets hazy

(I tried to read the lines between)

II think the world is ending

Don't let it bury me in the ground
