Eden

Lost inside the garden of eden eating my pride Sleep deprived every evening I’m sleeping beneath the stars Beat the odds, let em see all the scars secrets & all Follow heart til they feed on my carcass we could be gods Singing songs for the elegy I can still hear the melodies People wrapped up in cellophane moonlight cuts through the ebony Spinal column still shivering lately it’s like a centipede Crawling across the desert I’m hollower now than ever All the trees are neon I see while I dream I’m free And I’m beyond the reach of reason to be or just not to be? I feel empty when you’re not with me I’ve seen all the scenery Out to sea on a piece you left me I’m ready to sink beneath In LA it’s been raining all day I’m paper mache & wallpaper Heart is a broken fish-tank my limbs are just vacant hallways You wander for your escape and I’ll still mistake it for always The long days of this malaise made me patient amidst the cobwebs Mister melancholy calling turned holidays into hollow days While I went from flower to flower looking to pollinate We’re far away and wallow we wanted to walk on water Take all of the autumn sorrows & watch em dissolve away The weight I wake up to accumulates all my thoughts are so cumulus All our energy’s nuclear you look into my nucleus Tell me I’m too lugubrious beautiful views elusive We planted our darkest secrets they’re blooming into petunias Pent up pendulum pulsing just like a metronome Poisoned, mourning my mornings impulsive Smelling the petrichor sepulcher head I’m better off dead the weather is never enough When effervescent second efforts get me left in the mud Just up above us is a galaxy grounds all crumble below me A thousand people surround us inside of me’s only lonely The fireflies used to visit to sit on my skin I miss it When mystery dissipated you drifted into the distance.
