"you're trying not to grasp
not to start grasping
at straws or sticks or stones
you're trying to learn to just sit inside your sadness
even if you're sitting there alone
cuz just like icarus ascending
never intending to look back
nature's law and your tragic flaw
send you flying into the arms of another venus fly trap
guzzle till the buzzing stops
guzzle till the buzzing stops
guzzle till the buzzing stops"

"I bet you're wondering if you woke today
just to learn why the caged bird sings
I bet you're wondering if the goddesses are all crazy
or just keeping it interesting
situated slightly outside society
at odds with its odd offerings
I bet you're teetering on the edge of sobriety
just to alleviate a few things

like the fear that you're standing here
because you want to be liked
like you know you need your instrument
but does your instrument need to be mic'd
and you keep imagining that pretty soon
you will just disappear
and thinking that one thing is what saves you from
your fear of being here
here for now, you're here for now, you're here for now"

"I know my mind is made of matter
But I need to know exactly
What is the matter at it's core?
Because my heart is just a muscle
And simply put, it's sore"
