Hopeful Overdosed

take a steady breath of oxygen. lose your love and stare into the sun. cogs in a machine that's come undone. everything and everything at once. communicate our useless aims. meaning is our unrequited love. hopelessness our annihilation. cogs in a machine we can't unplug. everything and everyone at once. disseminate each wasted day, each heart we break. misilluminate. grab your favourite things and go with hearts tired. burn your dollars down to coal with wildfire. drop your fears and hit the road with wide eyes. we are hopeful overdosed, beyond high. cauterized by our own sun. disinclined to overcome. sterilized. what have we done? release the kraken!

you're not the kind of man to lose everything that we give to you. all of the hours that we share working to make you feel prepared. all of the nights we lie awake, every happiness we forsake. stripping our passion to the core so you can sell it back for more. it is impossible, what we are yearning for. it is a joke to say that we could resonate. we work to fill the hole, to feed your fragile soul. and it is not enough for you, but it is better than the truth: how we are falling down, we're fading out, we miss the point, we fuck ourselves again and again. there is no good in what you do. once more, for those in the back. we won't take your shit, yeah we're taking it back. open the door, it's not a trap: we're all moving in and we're not paying it back. you left us out in the cold while you passed the buck. this house you built, we're not propping it up . i'll take a shit on your lawn and turn that grass to gold. cuz everything you touch turns to blackened mold. yeah, we're taking it back. all landlords are scum.

plodding slowly through this lonely sacred poisoned life. meditative and escapist thoughts will not conspire tonight. infiltrate me and amaze me, plant your dynamite. your explosions, my absorption. damage clandestine. drawn-out vistas, exorcisms. clearly seeing time as we slowly share this lonely sacred poisoned life. running through my dreams i find there's a renegade, sings me sweet and sanquine songs of another day. smash this obsolete facade and run with it through my field of dreams and into another day. i can feel the change, the smell of after rain. the seeds will germinate, i'm drifting downstream. d-r-e-a-m until you fall asleep. d-r-e-a-m until you're sinking in the deep, deep water.

scratch the soil down to bone. take my hands to work, regenerate the loam. drain the lifeblood, fuel the throne. tear down your house of cards, incinerate the lords. reap the consequence we've sown. dedicate our wounded hearts to what's unknown. never stop, never atone. mountains rise, empires fall to valleys borne. keep the boots upon their throats. sing loud in ancient ruins to recompose the score. hear their resignated moans. lay me down to die, my seeds will be reborn. leave the earth to die alone. hold fast the falling sky, unbound the lands we roam. let me drink from your eternal well. i promise i'll just take my fill. i'll tell your story, i'll tell it all the way. i'll unleash it. i won't take it to my grave. i fell into the void. darkness falls and i'm paranoid. thinking of what i have sought, for time is a vacuum and i'm lost.

when i was three, i knew exactly where i would be when my twilight found me. i'd live with bees under a fern leaf. my buildings trees, my family small and green. and every field contains an army of joyous streets, a tiny reverie. and we will build monuments to gods who we will beg to rescue our souls from the dark, but we'll get it all wrong. and we will give everything we've got to fix the mess our fathers and grandfathers left, but we'll get it all wrong. we could leave everything to chance, spend every day carefree. but we'll get it all wrong.

one by one, effervescent alibis scorch the sun. don't be shy. love deep until you die. let the tears turn into brine, the appetite of your will. make all your own rules. don't be a fucking fool. you've got to run loose. everything is compromised when we try. ferment the lies of your past to rewrite the truth you cast into the vast landscapes that you hold. your power runs wild in a field of wild flowers. breathe in the sensational. your higher self is relational. sick of feeling spent. sick predicament. sick in consequence. sick of waiting. remember: only our sacrifice keeps you high.
