Drown (Phoenixx Skyy) [Unmixed Unmasted Acoustic]
Em
Settle down,
My love
I know you've had
Enough
And I'm all out—
Of Love
And I'm still drowning,
In your…

Thank god
It's like a storm is passed
I gotta keep it up
I would never touch another man
If I could front the cost
All on my own
No wonder ma and pa
Gotta open up shops
It's a long long long way up huh
Took a long long long long walk in the park
2 boroughs I crossed
Just to be remarkable
Ok! I got Dillon Francis.
That's a pigeon.
Well, yeah—he's a pigeon.
Wow! He's a pigeon!
Yeah!
Pigeons are fast! How'd you catch him?
Well, he's a New York pigeon, so he's fat.
Wow.
We gotta change him back!
Ah, we should keep him like that.
I half heartedly agree.
SHAWN EVANS has two strikes in a game where you don't need three.
wtf does that mean.
I don't know about this
Sorry, boss
Okay, you ready?
Yh.
Now you're supacree
Ugh WTF. What for!
A GIANT DISCO BALL
I'm way in over my head now, I think
If I fall all out of love
Then that might be a bad thing
For both of us, I think
But I think too much
And I should be drinking,
But I just washed up on shore
With the rest of us, huh
I'm way in over my head
Like waves over my head
Or gravy on bread and potatoes
—how I miss the others, but
If I fall all out of love now
That could be bad for the rest of us,
All of us, aren't I
Or was once
Was once
It's all by design
The decider resigned at the diner—
But maybe this time we can find her
Dying to write
She's still colorblind
A reminder of all of the limelight
She finds in the mind,
She decided defined her
Lil biiiitzzz.
Alrigtt huh, so fuck Queens.
I had to get out of Queens, you know?
I tried every gym in queens and you know what?
I hated it.
Every fucking gym.
It was gross.
Not as gross as the Bronx—
But it was Bronx-remnicent.
So I'm like, alright, fuck this. I'm gonna save up and go back to MY gym.
MY gym is in Manhattan.
Yeah bud. *rubs fingers together*
I love it.
It's fucking clean.
It smells good.
It has everything—
—Except the rotary torso machine.
But that's okay!
Fair trade.
It's all good.
That's MY gym.
In Manhattan. Yeah.
But I was stuck in Queens for so long, you know what—
I hadn't even been to Manhattan.
I forgot one thing about working out in Manhattan that I didn't have to worry about in Queens.
White dudes everywhere.
Yeah.
Never in Queens.
I totally forgot.
In queens I'm like Man of Steel;
I walk into a gym, all I see is family—
Eyes up here, Daquan.
What up, Matumbo.
Nice Locs, Troy
I go to the gym in Queens, I'm calm.
I go to the gym in Queens, I see non potential mates.
I am STONE.
I walk into a gym in Manhattan?
UGH.
My body's like
“What's that smell?”
My uterus is like
“LOOK OVER THERE.”
I'm like “huh?!l”
Nothing but hot white dudes every damn where—
“Ugh, fuck this”
So what I do, to combat this, is I just find the first hot girl I see—
It's not hard. It's Manhattan.
I'm an androgynous ape-like person— every actual female that exists is in some way somewhat more desirable than I am by far—
—out in public, anyway.
“The socially acceptable prototype”
Meanwhile,! behind closed doors I can take anyone of these motherfuckers home—
—their home—not to queens—
Which also isn't my home—
—or anyone's really—
—but let's just say I've stayed there—
—I've gone to the gym there—
—what up JerOde
—T-Jiggles.
—I've kept my stuff in Queens.
But the publicly—socially acceptable “girlfriend” archetype does not live in Queens.
Nobody “lives in queens”
No. So what I do is I direct all of my sexual anxiety, my lady blue balls—all my deep seated envy for not being that girl —at that girl, as a reminder that she exists and I'm not what they're looking for.
And being honest, I know deep down in my lady blue balls that none of them are really what I'm looking for, either.
No—and though almost all of them are perfect in every single way imaginable—
Especially for my vagina.
I know none of them are my man.
Yeah.
You know why?
My MAN has a home gym, morherfuckers.
Yeah.
Got that bowflex .
Got that peloton. All of it.
And you know what?
He's not even in it!
NO!
He's traveling the whole wide world right now—
Looking for ME.
—(I'm in Manhattan)
MAAAAANhattan.
Yeah.
Dudes on the east coast are hot as fuck.
Like next level attractive.
Chiseled.
Delicious.
California has ridiculously remarkable women.
California's the only actual place I've ever seen whole ass people look like a brand new actual Barbie doll out of the box.
WHAT?! GO AWAY.
I'm not getting NO DICK cause of YOU.
But the dudes here?
Yo!
*slurps*
You are wasting time!
I'm not wasting time.
I'm getting Trim.
How trim are you trying to get?
Ya! You look fine!
Like Fran-Fine-Fine—
What's that mean
It's the 90's, I think.
Or Jennifer Anniston.
Like Jennifer Anniston!
Yeah, on friends.
Speak of the Devil.
How does she DO that?
I do everything.
SATAN has merged with JENNIFER ANNISTON, as SUPACREE continues to keep accidentally summoning THE DEVIL without first understanding how—
But the charges from THE SACRED STONES against the magical charge of her amulet has created a chronically gaping time home in which various entities (and the bampheramphs) are using to travel quickly in between timelines.

I didn't know what to think, or how to feel, exactly—but in the moment I had more on my mind than what was comfortable, not that anything was exactly comfortable—nor was I aware of what was fully happening. In complete auto-pilot, I stood at the center of the upper platform of the bus, awaiting my stop—and though I had taken the long route back to The Raddison just to read, I found it for whatever reason hard to focus, and although Robert Greene's books almost lasts kept me captivated and intrigued, it nearly boggled my mind into pieces attempting to read even one complete sentence— and as the bus over-filled well-beyond it's capacity, I had abandoned my seat voluntarily, as a man had quite literally sat on top of me, as I'd I were invisible, and besides being accompanied by a mouth-open-coughing man, whatever foreign language I couldn't bear to wrap my mind around placing was bothersome; and I though briefly about my budding republicanism, although I still dredged upon the blackest and poorest realms of society—still finding it wholeheartedly worrisome that so many foreigners thrived In my own country while natural born Americans continued to suffer. Arms above me to hold my place as if handing from a cross, my mind wandered as the bustling underworld around became a blur, as the bus crossed under the bridge I had myself deemed “one of the worst places in New York City,” only falling second to The Bronx, which I found to be as God's running joke “nobody likes the Bronx”, said just about everyone, when the subject was approached—and as my bus approached its stop, someone shouted out,
“SUPACREE!” quite loudly and clearly enough that it startled me—a lot, actually, and as the bus came to a stop, I darted underneath the man who had been eating a Slim Jim, dipping it gratuitously into a full-sized jar of Nutella—the thing that might have boggled me even more than hearing my own ficticious alter-ego shouted out amongst the crowd of an over-stuffed New York City bus— and out of the back doors, pouncing with extremespeed and darting away— towards the corner, nearly amused but more confused than anything; I had discontinued my podcast series nearly a month ago, or rather, had allowed it go to into “suspension”, all four series pulled from the digital marketplaces at which they once lived, and though on this day specifically, after “briefly becoming Skrillex”, I had now been funded with the ability to reclaim my podcasts, I struggled with the thought of such an expenditure—having abandoned less than $10 worth of groceries at several supermarkets over the last couple of days, almost unable completely to let any money that came in back out, and even though I was certainly dehydrated, struggling with…
Struggling with what.
Idk. I stopped writing.
Why.
Well, obviously I got off the bus.
“SUPACREE!”
‘Wtf. Who would even know about SUPACREE?! And HOW?!'
Meanwhile.
Catch me at the Raddison,
Or maybe at the Madison
Square Garden,
Hair blonde and hot as Jennifer Anniston
Class is in Session;
Listen up, freshman
You just got to Fame school,
But this my last semester;
Diamond, under Pressure like Queen
Say “yessir”,
Guess here,
But let's be clear
There's only one answer
(I AM)
I got two twin flames
I'm so famous,
My name changes,
Every day
Just like the weather,
I'm the rain—
The sun on a Sunni(y) day
If you're watching Anime,
I'm pain, Sauake,
I'm 9 tails, 8,
7-6-5, tres—
No quatro biente
Yo vijar tomorrow
El fumes es caliente
They say God is a dancer,
But I'm actually a rapper
They say God is a dancer,
Bur I'm actually a rapper
They say Gos is a dancer,
But I'm actually a rapper
Rolling in the deep
In the red, no bed
I'm dead: Whitney Houston
You will never do what you said;
All bullshit—
I'm the whole church,
I'm the pastor, I'm the pulpit
I'm the nun, I'm the priest,
I'm the muthafuxkin alter:
Mother's Alter Ego:
Hail Mary, I'm the Father!
I do not need a Doctor,
In fact, I'll wear a law suit,
Ya'll so toxic, made me so sick- chicken soup
Now I got you lookin stupid,
Here's an arrow for you, Cupid
Tell ‘em you can bite me if you like em like a toothpick
I might catch the 40
Just to go to Timmy Ho's—
They askin “who that is”— and nobody seems to know
I might catch a case and you still steady catchy colds
I might catch a body, fuck it, I am on a roll
What the role?
Full Hollywood Unfold
Why you blowin up my phone when
I am on the road?
I am the controller;
You old
That ain't money that you stole;
That's my bro
That shit bold
Like a cup of Timmy Hos!
When I pull up—
Shut up
Where the blunt at?
roll up
Oh you hungry?
Pull up
Devil be hunting me

THE HOLLYWOOD PEOPLE have SUPACREE locked into a controlled hyper-simulation environment, out of her element and nestled in a series of inter dimensional portals along the Downtown Los Angeles central area, where old spirits, extra terrestrial beings, magicians, and of course, the filthy rich and famous embark upon missions.

“The Noir Episode”
I first saw her at the Equinox.
I didn't know who she was then,
But I thought to myself—
She must be somebody.
Aww, that's sweet.
So I followed her to the Whole Foods market.
Okay, that's stalking.

Damn.
If I put my heart inside a box;
Maybe I'd forget how cold it was
Or how far you are
Or how much it hurts
There's no harm in God,
If there ever was one
Then, reality sets in:
God was my only friend
No armor on,
I'm at the end
Of a long, long walk
I'm off again
And on again
Nothing's impossible—
stop at the alter and scoff a bit
I left my coat on,
I left my heart on the rooftop,
A sacrifice, love
At the alter,
I wonder a song,
Or a sonnet
A song,
No, what's wrong?
Something's off a bit
God, I woke up in a coffin once
Isn't that awful?
The rest or the song wrote itself,
At the alter
No, I can't stop and talk
Got to get off,
Cause I've never been on
I've never belonged in the world
What have we done?
This is bad, brother.
That's a construct.
Everything's a construct!
Get ahold of yourself.
Get ahold of—you know what?
I do know.
You think you're fuckin' clever.
I am clever.
You're a sick man.
That's my business.
Yeah, well—you made it my business.
I am you.
What a concept.
*construct.
God, help you!

Hehe.
SPAM! ON TACOS!

MERCIFUL GOD IN HEAVEN—
(WhT.)
JUST— DON'T LET IT BE SKRILL
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
Fuxk.
What.
She took the train.
Which fucking train.
I don't know. The train.
THE A TRAIN, or the B TRAIN?!
HEY.
WHAT, you motherfucking idiot?
I THINK I LOVE YOU.
Well, stop thinking.
Ok.
JIMMY FALLON THE COSMIC AVENGER has been kidnapped—
He's like 50 years old.
He's been dad-napped.
—by the MOB.
The MOB?!
He's into some dark shit.
Wait, he is?!
In this series.
He has been tied to a chair, which sits under a single spotlight in a shabby, dark room in NEW JERSEY.
Ew, New Jersey.
JIMMY THE MOBSTER
Hi, Jimmy—
JIMMY FALLON

JIMMY THE MOBSTER
I'm Jimmy.
JIMMY FALLON
Oh, that's ironic.

JIMMY THE MOBSTER
I'm gonna kill you, Jimmy.

If I give you a serious role, how are you gonna handle it?
JIMMY FALLON
like a pro.
GOD
don't lie to me, Jimmy.
JIMMY FALLON
What?! I'm not!
My body, heart, mind, and soul was being attacked—
I had 15 minutes to vacate the property and couldn't even focus—I had to use the bathroom so badly it hurt my soul. I was pacing back and forth, choking back ugly tears—the rude man in the room across the way still occupying the bathroom which I needed, both to clean and relieve myself—but it had been hell, after all, and needs like these had been proven to be in short supply.
Fuck.
This is a gun to your head.
Just do it.
[he moves the pistol into her mouth]
Now it's in your mouth.
[she unhinges her jaw to open it wider, never breaking eye contact and relaxes; he studies his hand on the grip of the tripper, ready to lill]
You'll die today.
[A comfort; as she relaxes, he as well changes—this seems to take the fun of killing away from him, he exacts the gun from her mouth]
CONT'D
You like that?
I love it—
You're dead, bitch!
Yes, I am!
A penniless whore.
Whores get paid—
Then, even less—
What's less than this?
A dead bitch.
Think again.
I don't think, I just shoot;
Sounds like a man.
Oh, I am.
Then kill me with your hands.
Jesus Christ, man.
He can't help.
No one can help you.
So just shoot.

THE BAMPHERAMPS, MOTHERFUCKING BAMPHERAMPHS, and THE ASCENDED MASTERY has assembled in NEW YORK CITY to stage a coup.
It's a coup d'état.
There sure is a lot of French shit over here.
Well yeah, it's Paris.
Wait.
What, what now?
If SUPACREE is in Paris.

Right—then—
Who the fuck are they chasing in New York.
[just waking up]
Why am I in New York?
WHOOPI GOLDBERG
you got anyplace else to be?
…no.
MEANWHILE, IN ROME.
Fanculo!
Really, dude.
Apparently.
A tear in my head;
A rip in my soul,
And the fabric of—
Coming undone at the whole;
I make sense of it all at the alter,
The fall;
To have fought in the war,
And then lost, or to suffer at all
Love was lost,
I was never a martyr—
Blood on the cross,
And the crossroads,
The frost and the stardust,
“There's no God”
For the honorable,
Stuck in New York,
But defrosting my toes,
At the forefront
I haven't once wondered or thought
Of the love that I was,
Since I stopped throwing rocks at the church
Or got off on the wrong stop;
What a puzzle,
To jump off,
Or rot in the heart of
The hub—
World of wonders,
A mother of suns,
Never wanted a daughter so much
Unpunishment,
Loved was the Duchess;
To carry a crutch or a cross—
So unbothered, untouched,
So heartless and dark,
For the marksman—a spark
Or the dog does not bark
At the horses
You're in the clear, hero.
Heartless, she was!
Now, now—settle down.
This is an absolute outrage.
Is it, now?
I say so!
Maybe you shouldn't.
Faro, a word,
I've got three.
I'll go first.
[a smug look]
What's happened here?
A ressurection, sir.
Care to explain?
I said ‘three.'
Where's the King?
My palms grew numb as my throbbing heartache welled up into the back of my throat and sat perched up against my growling stomach, stuffed with beans and rice, perhaps to fill the sadness or satiate my need for protein, either one.
ASCENSION
If you're going to vomit, step away from me.
—I'm not sick.
Actually, step out of my house.
This is your house?
—I live here.
—no one lives here.
What did you think it was?
an elaborate cave.
It is—an elaborwte cave—
—excuse my ignorance.
You're excused entirely.
—I appreciate that.
I meant, from here. You should go.
Faro, wait.
No more waiting; you were uninvited.
Trust me—this visitation is more necessary than voluntary.
That's—a lot of words.
I don't speak caveman.
Just—get out.
Listen:
No more listening—
It's about C'esme't.
It always is.
This is important.
It always is.
It concerns you.
It always does.

Wait.

Come with me.
FARO leads GÍAN towards the back of his quarters.
Close the door.

Nevermind. You're useless.
Ehrm—excuse me.
Excused, your majesty.
FARO opens a SECRET PASSAGEWAY into a FUTURISTIC CORIDOR, leading GÍAN into a vast FORTRESS.
balls.
Uh.
My stomach in knots
And my life is in ruins
Constellations all gone,
And my heart, on the border of hurt—
And mistrust
So unlovable, loveless—
Promises, scars and the art was devoured
Ah— she was awful;
Ah—she must have lost her mind
God, she was homeless,
And loveless,
And wild eyed
All that I wanted,
Was to get lost in the lobby,
Before the whole ball dropped
—and watch the false phropet
Collide wirh the comet
Stop:
I lost God at the crosswalk,
The punishment was
Homeless
Now watch this:
This is what I wanted:
Doesn't really matter now,
Does it?
Oh, doesn't it.
God, this is Lucifer.
Son, it's an honor.
No God for a mother, who walks on her own.
Now it's over or under.
It's over.
It never got started.
I locked up my heart with the piñata.
How irrelevant.

I thought Illuminati wanted hotties and Caucasians.
Well, I guess that'll explain,

Ok.
WHOOPI GOLDBERG has freed herself from the cage in which SUPACREE had skillfully trapped the OWL OF THE GOLDEN EYE.
WhT a prophecy.

Well, here's this instead.
Oh no, it's Skrillex.
Now you have to—

Why.
Cause I've already seen that.

LIL' BIIIITZ
Yo! New York is CRAZY
First of all, how is it all of a sudden CLEANER THAN LA?!
New York's like: here —we sent all the nasty people to LA. All better.
Polarity shift!
LA is gross now!
New York cleaned up!
The trains are nice —shit—
All the trash is in BAGS.
I was like
“Whaaaaaaat” this is nice.
What the fuck. This shit different!
Unh.
they exported all the nasty, crazy motherfuxkers to LA. On GOD.
Cause every other psychologically twisted individual I talk to in LA is like:
“I'M FROM NEW YORK”
*hawks loogie, spits*
Uhhhhh…
I was going on a little European adventure;
New York's like:
“You know, you never stay long…”
I'm like
“There's a reason for that…welp, gotta go.”
The whole universe fucked around and was like—
“You know what? We like you here. Stay. “
What.
“STAY.”
Fuck.
New York is different.
Won't say I love it —
But goddamn, I like it!
People are rude.
People are rude as fuck.
I'm used to LA where people are fake nice
For fuckin tips and shit, you know?
Everybody's trying to get famous for something,
Or something. Idk. Fake as fuck.
Fake nice. Fake happy. Fake titties. Fake lips.
Just fucking fake. fake everything. Everything is plastic.
—and it's not tied up in garbage bags, either. It's just plastic, and trash, and piss everywhere. It's so gross.
You see Venice Beach on the movies:
It's all clean and beautiful, and picturesque.
You get there, it's like Skid Row +
Skid Row Coastal.
LA has millions of homeless people everywhere.
In cars, in tents. Under bridges. Everywhere.
And I love LA! I really do. But it's fake. Everything is fake.
New York is real as fuck.
Yeaaah.
Almost too real.
But I like it.
You don't have to fuckin fake shit.
People don't say “excuse me—“
No.
You're never forced to say “good morning “ before you had your coffee! Yuh!
New York is doing it right.
People sleep on the train—
But nobody lives on that motherfucker!
I was in New York like a week before the shock wore off that there were not hundreds of individuals on every train wreaking of piss and smoking crack openly—YES—illicit drug use on trains in LA is extremely casual.
Everything in LA is casual. People wear pajamas to work. Yeah—that.
Everyone in New York looks like they're going to eat at a five-star restaurant. Like all the time.
No socks-with-slides. EW.
I swore to God socks with slides was a sign of the apocalypse; I get to New York, none of that—but the cringy thing in New York is Crocs With Socs.
Now mmmm we're bi-coastal.
Socks-with-slides;
Crocs-with-socks.
Knock that shit off. TACKY.
other than that, though…
NY is cool. It's chic. It's fun.
You gotta be careful though.
You gotta watch out.
I thought LA drivers were crazy.
New York drivers are fucking psychotic.
Pedestrians don't have the right of way.
At all.
If you're in a crosswalk in LA even if the light is red, people will stop and let you go.
In New York you better wait for the fuckin walk sign.
They will kill you.
It's okay.
6 millions ways to die: choose one!
Just kidding. That's some west coast shit.
But I did see a whole ass mural of Snoop Dogg in Brooklyn and get slightly confused—
Till I realized everything on it was the color blue, and I was deadass in the middle of Brooklyn going
“What? Ohhhhh! Wait! The Crips!”
“Those guys are everywhere!”
Lol.
Its a nation wide disorganization.
Lol. Whatever.
I like New York.
Doing my best not to love it,
So the universe doesn't balance me out by showing me what to hate about it
So far, so good
New York drivers don't play.
I never seen a school bus drift before!
DAMN.
Almost got hit by a short bus.
Oh, the irony.
I saw a dude do a whole ass wheelie on an electric scooter.
Not a moped, by the way.
An electric scooter.
Yup. New Yoooooork.
BEDFORD AVENUE, BROOKLYN, NY.
THE BAMPHERAMPHS have initiated SEQUENCE C
I like New York. I gotta say.
It IS like LA In the way that I know I can't live in New York if I'm not just filthy fucking rich.
Cause, you know—there's still homelessness;
But unlike in LA, where you just wander around, smelling like piss, begging for change—
You freeze to death.
A quick solution!
Haha!
(It's not funny.) but whatever. America.
I thought I was leaving; I got trapped in the matrix.
I was like
“Fuck this place.”
They're like: “stay! We need slaves!”
I'm like FUCK.
So I got stuck in New York.
Ugh.
At least it's a “free state”
I made it north, ma!
Not exactly the safest place to get stuck with no money, either, is it?
Really nowhere is safe with no money.
I mean, I know of some places south of the border you can live, basically free and just, you know—sleep in a hammock, sing for change and shit. Roam the beach. I know people that do that— it's just-
I like showers.
I don't love showers.
Cause then, I'm sure God would find a way to take that away, too.
I don't love anything anymore.
Once you love something—it either goes away, or it burns you.
Or both.
Can't love things.
Can't love people.
No more love.
Just—appreciate—things.
Just—like—things, you know?
Don't love anything.
Speaking of suicidal tendencies.
Hahah.
You know what else is cool about New York?
The trains actually come into the station fast enough to kill you.
Like—you've had enough? Okay: here it is.
Just to save you a trip to the Empire State Building.
This train is coming in at 304 miles an hour and is somehow gonna stop in 3 seconds.
—maybe 2 seconds, if you do jump—
Better think fast!
They almost come too fast, for suicide.
Ready, set—
Dammit.
Missed it again.
They're so fast.
The trains in LA stopped going suicide-fast like, a couple years ago—maybe, just before the pandemic—I think.
They're like
“You know what! This is happening too often. I am ALWAYS late to my other two jobs ‘cause someone killed themselves on my train! Fuck!”
LA's like:
“Well fuck this, all the slaves are killing themselves on the trains.”
“Damn, that sucks”
LA's like
“Yeah, okay so: here's what we do; we'll put up signs for a suicide hotline at the popular jumping points”
“LA's like: okay”
“And—we'll tell the train operators they gotta slow down coming into the station—“
“That'll do it!”
“—that way, If they still do decide to jump, they'll just get paralyzed, and contribute to the opioid crisis: more funding for big pharma!”
“Yes, it's genius!”
“—unless they're black, or on Medicaid, then: we'll send em home with some ibuprofen and make sure they collect disability, so that they can become addicted to crack, or something like that —you know.”
“Yes. That's perfect.”
Good Job LA.
I get lost in New York.
I'll be on New York like
“YO, WHERE THE FUCK AM I AT?”
“In New York”
GODDAMMIT.
You know what else is weird about New York?
Personal space is not a thing.
I mean, “space” is not a thing at all, anyway.
But
“Personal space”?
No.
People will not only sit by you;
The'll siT ON you.
Yo.
I had just got to New York—
I had all my luggage with me—
And this lady gets on the train;
She's got a broom.
Idk what for, but okay;
She gets onto the train,
She looks around, and I guess she decides she wants the seat next to me.
So like I said, I have all my stuff l so I'm a little spread out, but there's room—
But you know what she does?
She looks me straight in the eye
And then just hits me with her broom.
I was like —-?!?
I'm thinking,
“Okay is she racist or is that just a New York thing?”
Like, “you can just hit people with shit!? damn!”
What's funny is, I kinda respected her for that. She was old. Didn't say a word, just “bam”
Like—- ‘move!' I'm like “okay!”
New York is so classy.
Girls wear panty hose, and stockings.
I'm like “wow, that's actually nice. That's so wholesome! Tights?! Yeah!”
It's so classy.
I don't think girls in LA even wear regular panties.
Let alone panty hose.
Get it—panty—Hoes.
I see correlation.
You know what else is cool about New York.
It's less racist.
I mean-
There's so much diversity, there's almost no room to be racist.
It's crazy.
So many people. So many colors. So much culture. So many languages!
I hear languages I can't even place.
I thought I was good. I'm in LA, I'm like,
“Okay, that's Chinese—“
“That's Japanese”
“That's Korean”
“Farsi”
I get to New York—
I'm in the Delicstessen.
Thats another thing.
Nothing like a real, New York delicatessen.
That's what “deli” is short for, by the way, everyone not from New York.
It's “delicatessen”
Lol.
Anyway.
I'm standing in the Deli and I hear some shit that—I'm not gonna lie— was actually quite alarming, as a native English speaker.
I'm standing there, and this guy behind me literally over my shoulder says,
“Blooppnsmabhoan ammaoakb amansbaiL aannaoka snkaoakmnlblblblnlnl!!!!”
I'm like
what the FUCK.
This isn't REAL.
“Blblblana. Akakma alak
Akakamaamna!”
I'm shoooook.
What IS that!!?
I like New York.
The girls aren't all evil soulless heart eating demons.
They're just “regular”
I have to run back to LA and tell all my guy friends, they're like
“Women are evil”
I'm like—
“Nooo, that's just out here.”
Maybe.
I don't know.
I like New York.
I bet it's wonderful when it's warm.
I don't know!
Maybe that's when shit hits the fan!
Maybe it's like Chicago.
EVERYBODY DIES IN THE SUMMER—
Who said that.
Chance the Rapper, I think.
I don't know.

Come, take my hand—
(I took off my ring)
Do you want to do a half, or a whole thing
Come, take my hand
Let's sit on this swing
Do you want to do a half, or a whole thing?
I powered on my phone to find the digital clock exactly at 1:15, which had seemed to be creeping up again as a recurring theme, along with some other unsettling figurines—if it was a race against time, I was losing—and If, perhaps, a Holy War, I must have been some sort of Holy, as it had seemed the world's good graces had turned her back on me, and that faith dwindled more quickly in the cold than any other condition.
Lay your head on my shoulder,
Your cheek on my cheek,
Wrap your arm round my waist,
You can think what I think
You can skate on thin ice
You can sing what I sing
And when the ice breaks;
You can sink when I sink
Come, take my hand—
(I took off my ring)
Do you want to do a half, or a whole thing
Come, take my hand
Let's sit on this swing
Do you want to do a half, or a whole thing?
It had been strange waves of everything—more than I was ready for and much more than intentionally took on, all things considered. I burned my tongue on piping hot oatmeal, trying to eat rather than write, as it seemed the time had come that I could no longer skip meals and properly function. Nearing thirty like a bullet—and at least metaphorically bleeding as if I had actually been shot, my heart and soul throbbing and gushing into a paralyzing twist or fears and woes, trapped in a foreign city with almost nothing to my name, lugging around my music equipment and very few belongings, which—when put away neatly even in the smallest room— seemed like almost nothing, but was certainly too much to carry around, especially alone. And I was, so very alone.
Drake Bell and the Hollywood Spell
My newest and strangest muse yet had again insisted on appearing into my dream world, for the third time, anyway—which seemed a cruel and almost disturbing subconscious attempt to conjur up what might have been the entirety of my energy to complete the 6th Season of Enter The Multiverse, at this point which had even interested me, reinvigorating my senses and at least partially restoring my faith in something, even if it was just Hollywood being Hollywood. But now, even miles away from Hollywoodland, and stranded far, far away with no conceivable way to find my way back, even if I did have a home there waiting for me—and there wasn't—there didn't seem to be a home anywhere for me at all, and with my money running well towards dry I had spent most the week dry heaving into panic attacks about where I would go, or what I would do/—especially dragging around all of my luggage and equipment, and while it was true my equipment could have easily found it's way into a pawn shop, to at least offset the impending homelessness by maybe a couple days, and a couple hundred dollars—it didn't seem quite worth it to sell my dream again, especially for the miserable existence of sharing a hostel room with whoever decided to snore or cough their way into my hellish realm of corporate slavery, lovelessness, and lack of privacy.
Yes, my conciousness had summoned up this man into my dreamworld now three times, and for whatever reason, if there was one — I could consider it a charm. Had I not been working at the smokeshop what now seemed like ages ago, I might have forgotten entirely that such a person had ever existed—which I had, since the experience, for the record, at least tried to—but for some reason, disasterously couldnt; it had all awakened something serious and spiritual within my outer world, piquing my ultra conscious into a rare and bewildering curiosity that had done well to slay and murder the cat in all of its nine lives, and then some. It wasn't entirely on purpose, or without guilt that my mind seemed to inquisitively structure an entire hidden world and to form a strange and illicit bond with this fragile man creature, not that my social status or overwhelmingly average, unattractive, stranded and abandoned wastebasket of a demon, or diety whatever I was in whatever kind of light, would have much at all to do but suffer the result of having missed the bar by far, stumbling into the lower realms of the world by mere circumstance, on occasion, without notice.
I was certainly thinking about it too much, and hating myself for it, a certain spark or inspiration for the Timmy Turner timelines met with the sudden flash of what may have even been a lost memory of not for all this Hollywood trauma, or dogma, whichever made sense—because none of it did, at all, besides to reverse what time had done by allowing me to forget my turbulent childhood, which couldn't matter anymore in this moment as it ever had; and though I was producing a fruitful workout at Equinox, squatting deeply into the Smith Machine and breathing deeply into my lower back, where the tension from the weight of my leftover skin met the pain in the whole of my torso, an apparent rush sent a splash of slobber out of the side of my mouth, my third eye a gaping and burning hole streaking heat across the middle of my forehead—all of a sudden the high of Nitrous Oxide filled my mind, if only for a moment—flung back into a memory nearly two decades old.
“That's it.” I remembered thinking.
“No more of this.”
I sat down the can of keyboard cleaner on the bathroom floor. I had scared myself straight, long before I even knew what I was doing—and I didn't know at all, having been nine, or maybe 10–long before I would ever *want* to get high, not understanding that or why I needed to, anyway—or that getting “high” was what I was doing at all.
No, at the time, it simply ‘felt really good', until it didn't—the particular memory which struck me in the dead center of the Equinox floor—and snapping back into my body, shaking myself out of it and leaning into the bar to stretch, taking in a deep breath and choking back an ocean of tears.
“Idiot.”
I'm still lost in your eyes
I'll be in love with you forever
Dreams Wil Be Dreams.
Since departing LA, all my dreams had been strange, and I found myself growing more distant from myself, or from anything real at all, my dreams skewing into a horrid soundscape of rampant memories and false hopes of love. Finally able to seek refuge in meditation, I had been bombarded with images of Dillon Francis balancing some pretty little white girl in his lap—and though I couldn't quite unhinge the Amethyst from my possession, I had been giving it the distance I needed for something like peace of mind, without the actual peace itself at play. There had been quite the spell to break, and though it hadn't even been moderately broken—I at least knew now what magic I was dealing with. Dillon Hart Francis was a powerful magician—perhaps too powerful, and with that I took my strides into gatekeeping at the very least, since no peace could be made. I could love with a wholesome heart, but a tarnished mind and a gated soul would simply not outlast the infinite journey. Though I had been illicitly carfeful not to look him in the eye last we did meet, there was a remarkable force in place far beyond control—or at least my control— which kept such power from being apprehended; I had done my best to let go, knowing it was indeed a spell at play, and rather than a curse no need to worry or fear it's users intentions. Magic was a give-and-take, and so much had been at this point taken from me that the bruises of jealousy for whatever it was being waved about my psyche as ‘better than' could do no more than to rip the rest of my heart from its crevice as I pondered on what I might have done right, or might have done wrong—if there were such things.
‘White girls get all the love.'
It was only true in my heart and my mind, and so it must have sat in my soul a certain way. I had never intended really to fall into what I had fallen into with Dillon Francis—not that it couldn't or wouldn't be undone, eventually, as I was inraveling myself into an unremarkable, unastonishing whisp — a fracture in time to do much less than even be though of, or forgotten.
I'm still lost in your eyes
I'll be in love with you forever
A piece of my rock had shattered on the floor of the shower at Equinox—the only stone I kept for myself, and often forgotten about, as I did myself, not that i mattered much. It shattered unevenly into three pieces, one of which I left in the sauna, quickly before departing—and the other which I had dropped in Times Square, begrudgingly under the LCD American flag by which I felt betrayed: How could our nation not only allow, but create homelessness as a scare tactic to keep the working poor working as slaves, to saciate the wealthy's wants and needs?
“Whatever.”
I'm not going to hurt you,
You can't hurt me anymore than I can hurt myself.
I'm glad you know that.
I don't know anything.
Suicide fucking sucks.
I know that.
It might be time for me to go
But I just want to let you know
I still got love for you;
And there's still hope;
I left the door open
I gotta go, you know,
It's hopeless for some
At the end of my rope
—and it's a long way home,
But it's home at the end
It's home at the end of a long, lond road
I took the wrong one,
But at least now I know you
I'll go on
It seems that I still have a soul, somewhere
I walked in on thin air,
And now I'm here;
I don't know where
I'm still lost in your eyes
I'll be in love with you forever

WHO INVITED HIM, ANYWAY.
I didn't.
NOBODY INVITED HIM.
The inspiration to music hit at just the right and the wrong time—I had finally found my way to the butt machine, only after visiting every other floor and guessing incorrectly—only to make it to the machine in just enough time to realize that I was for some reason exhausted—perhaps having just blown my last fuse, realizing I was literally down to my last, few pennies— and, unknowing of how to escape the hole I had dug myself into, falling into a carful and unsecured ‘lust' with New York, surely never to fall in love with another city as I had LA, learning my lessons well, and knowing all too well that nowhere and no one like me was safe from homelessness in the US—now having proven itself to be a hostile entity, in a full police state. It didn't seem to matter, though, as I had narrowly missed my escape nearly on purpose, but not— it seemed something entirely outward was keeping me at bay and in the US, not that I had wanted to leave out of fear for my life as much as I wanted adventure and exploration—but either way was going nowhere at all fast, and running out or money even faster.
“Fuck, I hate my life”
I had probably over caffeinated, at least half the reason I couldn't budge to top speed, even blasting bangarang into my eardrums at nearly top volume—this day, it only emotionally weakened me, having demoted myself entirely from any sort of elite status, back into the realm of obsessive fandom, and perhaps even schizophrenia, per Dane Cook's shenanigans.
Yeah, I'm tired and I need to take like ten shits.
Just finish then.
If I leave early I have to come back early.
Well, go, then.
Muscle fatigue, check
Dehydration, check

Pollen on my lips,
I love to kiss you;
Missing the elliptical at Equinox
A full eclipse
And I've never known anything to smell to sweet as this,
Just naturally
I'd loved to be loved
But I'm just getting famous
I guess that's the trade, then
A sacrifice, as if I'd not already lost my life,
—Or slit my wrists
Intermittent 5th dimension
Tim, or what they used to call him…
But he can't remember.
This is major Tom,
Another psalm
Or poem,
From Ms. Gypsy
Spinning into mixes,
Drifting into spiderwebs as a reminder
She would write for The Times,
Like the power, or a webinar
She borrowed the guitar.
Which then, became a gift
So she dismissed him—the minister.
Or who administers the medicine
Of the administration
Menustration , under stress of course
Or as she keeps on fasting
For Last Earth
Seeing things?
Certainly!
I've been fasting, and under the influence of Dillon Francis
God Dammit Hanzel
Did you have to
Hold her hand
And have the other one
Covered in Kandi
On that album cover?!
I can't stand it
Whatever the master plan is
Give me the schematics, quick
So I can land a man to match with
That holds a candle
To that piñata
Maybe I should shapeshift into Taylor Swift
So I can get some dick in
The right complexion…
Is that too explicit?
Or maybe I should just stick to Skrillex
The first on my wishlist—
Until Kayla Lauren
(Or the other ones—
And there's a lot of em;
The rabbit's always on the run)
Hey Allison
Or Alex—
Yeah, that's it
I'm still an insomniac
Just trying to forget that I'm black
And only mildly attractive
With a New New York accent
And sudden onset passive aggression
From the stress and pressure of synethesia
And mastering my tracks
Without another expensive subscription
And another one
Here comes another one
The sun just spins in circles and whistles
This is the worst I've ever written with indifference
‘Fear nothing'
On, the fire burns
And nothing more she ever feared
It only gets better from here
It only get better from here
It only gets better from here
Still, my love burns
Like a smouldering flame
Here, a star was born from the ashes,
Destined for fame
‘Avarita,'
She called, from the caverns of lust—
The curse has been broken
Come dawn, from the dusk
So much for purpose—
Gone was the suffering;
Sending smoke signals to dieties
Laying beneath all the names,
The labels so sacred
Such secrets and fables,
The table of
L E G E N D S
All worlds collide in collisions of conciousness, space, and time as we travel the ever-infinite multidimensions of existence as we know it…
(Or—Don't.)
Rules of Time Travel:
Don't
‘That one was hard', i thought loudly to myself, finishing one banana and reaching to quickly peel another–I had been famished, and by force of nature had broken the predominant rule of fast–not to interact with the public, and therefore had been quick to hurry the fast to a finish; now that it had been s long in the understanding of the spiritual connotations of fasting, i knew never to attempt a show–especially a long DJ set, without having eaten, especially well; I needed to maintain focus, and as my career began to shift heavily, I became quite religious to certain superstition and routine of course, never allowing myself to fall prey to anything too ridiculous; I had been thoroughly taken advantage of–and knew certainly by now there was no room for error or mistakes, misjudgement of character– and I myself, perhaps just a canvas–rather than an unfriendly mirror most would be unwilling to face.
The last and first thing I had consumed had been coffee– a lightly brewed vanilla bean which had exceeded most of the coffee I had consumed during my time in new york by far –a daily staple and absolute necessity, learning harshly from having spent tolerance breaks and unwilling days without coffee begging God for a glimpse of light; Alas, it had come to the point in my adulthood that certain things were just part of me–and coffee was one of them, a welcome and at least usually warm antidote for what seemed to be more often than not a cold, heartless world.
But today, the sun shone and spread light and joy into my heart and mind a I trekked the nearly one mile walk to a nearby asian fusion restaurant that I had avoided before, but now was unwilling to suffer the consequences of a 4-hour set during a fast in which I spent a devoted amount of time and energy in the early morning amidst the miserable and robotic drones of the early morning commute–I was at least happy to have poured through a decent chapter or two of the books that I had finally climbed from the plateau of reading–a book about the rich history of the underground–a well-written journey into the past of a world I loved, but had become so distant from, in my heart and mind, but never in my soul– my own collection of unique and eclectic mixtapes growing daily, my own skill surpassing even my expectations–but it wasn'tmy expectation that I needed to surpass: i had yet to attract the attention of the greats–or even the lower-level promoters and managers which would spark my entry into the dance-club scene, elevating my professional DJ career from playing in parties, bars, and strip clubs and into the actual raves, clubs, and festivals that my soul came from –and called back out to, between the lines and hidden subliminal messages coded deep in the basslines, drops, and 4-to-the-floor anthems I curated with such forceful thought and empathy into my sets and mixes–mixes made of course with love on the mind and deep in my soul but seemingly nowhere to be found, lost in translation and unrequited, reverberated in the emotional undertones of the music I played day in, and day out, sometimes with tears in my eyes, but always with God on my shoulders, most often whispering the next selection into my mind's eye – my music a leap in blind faith.
‘Fuck, I do feel better.'
The Pad Thai hadn't been great at all, but it had been enough to soothe the intense waves of dissociative dissolution and disconnect that came with each and every passing fast–and with each one an honorable lesson in gratitude, for all that had come with my sacred journey: Now, I was a true DJ.
I don't know why imm looking for
Platinum delusions
“I have a question”,
Well, there goes your l answer l;
There goes your skeleton, creeping out the back door—
There goes your relevance,
An acelance,
A metaphor
Is that what you asked for?
You looked in the wrong mirror today
Is this what you wanted or not?
Delusions of grandeur
Emotions and saw what you bought from the storefront
Gobbler it up, and wanted more
More important words, for the chauffeur
Are you sure, dear
On a short order
Or a show with a shirt run
You saw the short
So you order it
Abort mission at once—
They'll call you up when all the smoke is up
In the rooftop of the cathedral
Is that what you wanted
Is that what your question was?
More discoveries, coming right up
At water Michael makers in a room full of synthesizers you could only wish you were in
It's fittinf, the description for the symptoms of schizophrenia
If everything relates, it should be an easy diagnosis—
But it isn't
It's real as hell,
But isn't
I just want a feel for who you are
So I can stop myself from loving your accomplishments
And settle for less
Like the rest of the talentless miscreants
With financial constraints
And too many problems
To overcome
Into abundance
Your works is my music and I just dance to it;
Meanwhile imm miserable and you're courting princesses
Soon to be queens, co conspirators, aqua rain es
And I'm still crying in the door idiots you opened and then left me in
To sift though this
Infinite
Disaster of indifference
I found you in the kitchen sink
So was bound to drown you in it
A katy for your baby again—
A calamity of mastery,
An actor for your Gem—another character I'd written out of affinity for abandonment
Flattened my abdomen for him
But still couldn't change my skin color
If I wanted
Dillon Francis seems more obnoxious than usual
[DILLON FRANCIS BEING EXTRA]
Mm–I don't think so.
This is out of control.
It's not out of control I'm in control
This is out of control.
we're going to play a game.
What kind of game.
A minigame.
What does this game entail.
haha.
**sidenote:
Laidback Luke is not laidback at all.
He seems calm.
That's just his demeanor.
Haha.
Okie. Whats wrong with al these guys
Nobody sleeps here.
What about him. He looks asleep.
No.
[waves hand gently]
See he's–
You're on in 5.
[Suddenly, Very awake.]
Oh wow.
See. Superstar DJ.
Well, fuck, man.
What is this
Just stand here
What. For what
Just– wait here.
Wait?! For what?!
Just – [Leaves]
LAIDBACK LUKE
(eyes)
I don't like this.
(eyes)
I don't like this at all.
MA, MORE COFFEE.
WAAAT?
MORE COFFEE, MA!!!
Lol these guys again.
I love these guys.
How did we get here?
Technically, we're still in a deadmau5 construct.
I dont think he's okay.
I Don't think anybody's okay.
Are you okay?
No.
(eyes)
…
Oh.
“Oh”
What are you doing here.
Whatever I'm doing.
You're a madman.
I fucking wish.
Be careful now—-
—careful for what—
Don't you know—wishes come true.
If that were the case I'd be the richest man in the world.
—maybe you are.
[A mysterious stone is presented.]
What is this?
[a myateriius half—smirk]
Your fortune, sir.
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS.
What—?
You know what.
The Lakers Won?
Don't be smart!
—but—I'm a genius!
[he launches towards him with fury—a coffee table comes between the two men
—now, you're a rational man—
—AGHH—
—I wouldn't expect you to succumb to such violence.
If I don't kill you with my own hands, someone else will.
—kill me? With your own hands? Someone else?!
AGH!!
[he crushes the coffee table]
That was redwood!
—it's still redwood.
[he picks up a pointy table leg]
Where is it?
Where is what?
I'm ugly
Nobody loves me
Somebody hug me
Move over,
You need a mother;
I'm just your lover—
You're lucky
And woah
I think I want some Timmy hos
I catch the 40
Gross
Everybody's broke
What is this place?
—is that still happening?
The ashes, falling
Almost forgot about the raindrops
Something's calling me
The bus is coming
What day is it?
Last summer,
I suffered longer
Last summer still isn't over
Last summer
I came back to make money
And have none now
Last summer,
You laughed at me
Last summer,
I got my hat back
Last summer
I worked harder
Last summer I sold my hatch back
I have a whole bachelor's degree waiting for me
At my bachelorette party
(I never had one)
I came to this country last summer
With nothing but a gym bag
And this hat on
Though it might have been another one
—I always have a hat on
I like the way his legs are crossed
And it's just so awful
How lost in my thoughts I am
I'm simply anonymous,
Unworthy of womanhood
Stopped in androgynous
God,
This is all of us calling
We're lost again
Someone took all of my coffee
And poured it on top of my coffin
—I'm sad,
I've been here a long time
Without good money
—I'm sad,
I've been here a long time
I just keep writing
—I'm sad
I've been all alone,
But I'm still made of stardust
—I'm sad
I've been here a long time
I keep falling in lust with my projects
I build matrixes—
I just— thought you should know that
I never had my own show before
Why would I go back to
Being the most affordable whore in sun valley
Or something
I've got stars in my eyes—
But I guess I deserved that
I shot myself in the head
I guess this is the blow back
A throwback
You owe me money
But I don't want money—
I just want love
But nobody loves the impartially ugly
Satan said nobody loves me
All dressed up as a Japanese lady
Who couldn't contain me
And tried to control me—
But I have a hole in my head, you know
It makes everyone quite uncomfortable.
When I sat down on the bus,
I just lost myself
I just keep fighting off lust
And biting my fingernail polish, and honestly—god?
Just take my life
Before I do
I'm not suicidal
I just can't buy things
Right when I like to
I just can't find the right guy
To go home to
So you know
(So you know)
(So you know)
(So you know)
I love you
Victory, Victory ,Victory!!!
Do you want to come with me?
Victory, Victory Victory!
I'm mobile now,
Do you want me to pull up?
Victory, Victory, Victory!
If I pull up,
Do you want to come with me?
Victory, Victory, Victory!
I just want you with me
As I fight feelings of shame and disgust
I'm in the window now
Robbed of my lust
And my last few dollars
If only for the moment
I'm in the window now
Like a puppy
I have to wonder
If anybody wants me
—apparently nobody loves me
I'm in the window now
Thinking about how
Nothing I've ever done matters
Not even this
What a lovely display it is
It is ironic, you know.
I would kill myself tonight
Just never to be reminded
Of —-
I would kill muself tonight
If I could know that on the other side
It was warm and bright
And this life
Never even happened
I might kill myself tonight
Or just ride it out
And try to write about
How I arrived here
Something's apparently important
Imports and exports
Inbreds and ex husbands, wives
And Ex doctors
Sometimes I'm Michael
There's a lot of love in this parking lot
I never thought about how right or wrong I was
Until I stopped and watched it al on camera
Vandalism in a stolen prison
The whole world revolves around a blue eyed white man
The whole world revolves around his blue eyed children taking all my husbands
The whole world revolves around a lousy dollar —
All I've got is this flower;
What can I buy with that ?
The whole world's rotten
Just like this Apple
It's in my pocket
And I'm gonna light it on fire
On purpose
(Or with purpose)
Hello?
Which phone did you call from?
I don't have this number
Excuse my stream of conciousness
I was trying to fight off suicidal thoughts
not so creatively
This is my job,
Like this is your job
I look at the jaw
I want what you want
This is my planet we're on
This is is my plan, I got lost in it
Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm not
You just want a nut with a butt
I just want a bud
[Sample, Dillon Francis: Hey Buddy! (The Coffee Run)]
I'm not your buddy.
Ah.
Look at that car;
I'm on a coffee run at McDonald's
How much does it cost?
A dollar, one—
It's like putting gas in my car,
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
Call Jimmy Fallon to borrow a dollar.
It's a coffe run
A coffee run
A coffee run;
You cough, I run
You like? I'm fun
The west was won by everything under the Sun,
Run it
Equinox+ (EP)
Love brings me out of my shell;
—I could love you, I
I could love you, I
Could love you, I
Could love you,
I love you
I love you, I
This isn't good for my health;
If you don't love me,oh well —
(I could love you, I)
This is just passing the time,
Count my dimes and,
I'm wealthy, you build me up
Shining, I wake you up
Diamond of mine,
I love you, I
Love you I
Do what I want most the time,
Cause nothing else matters but
Making you mine
I, so what I want most the time
I can't get out
Out of my mind,
Cause I love you
I love you I,
Wasting my time,
I could love you but
Nevermind
Drunk,
And I'm stumbling up to my apartment for
The 30th time this month,
My rent's due tomorrow, but
I got it,
Woah,
I've got just enough
Just to keep fuxkin up
Getting fucked up
And filling my cup
Like it's something,
But it's nothing,
Not really
Nothing,
Not really
Be good
Work it out
Come on
Work it odd
Be good
Shake it off
Work it out
Come on
Be good,
Work it off,
Work it out—
Come on
Be good
Work it out
Shake it off
Come on
—
We all know
There's a monster in there
And it wants let out;
All man, beware—
Yeah
We all know
There's a monster in her—
And,
Someone will let it go
Oh,
Someone let it go
Oh, no (oh yeah)
Oh, no
That's no good
That's no good
Oh no
(Oh yeah)
Oh no
(Oh yeah!)
No, no
You just had to let it go
You just had to let it go
Oh, no!
—
I need time
To rationalize my genius
I can't write light this
Alt right all white nationalists
I can fantazize, right?
I could die like this
It's a damn good life
What fucking time is it, anyway?
Right?
I can't rationalize, this
Fascist rats at The Fashion district
Bam, I had it—
I had to get right, man
I had to get God on my Mantras
I fucked up tomorrow,
I'm off in Toronto with problems
And dogma—
Who's dog is this
Tied up at the Whole Foods market
I tried it, I died in the in
I can't idolize idols, man
Cry, though,
Dip my bicoff in Chiapas coffee
All pissed off,
Woah
It's the wrong morning to wallow in
Caught me off guard at the offering
Sha, there's no mother here,
No other one,
You're wrong God,
I stopped to cross at all of them,
I suffered when I swallowed,
Rah,
What's wrong?
I'm feeling solemn on my sodomist
Wishes of
This centrifugal
—‘swimming with the fishes,
Get it?
Woah,
It's a whole open world of
Wizards and witches
I wish I could ditch this
—the center or attention is this city—
That's Alex Tribec, for the record
Fuck the TriBeCa fest
Rest in Los Angeles
Rest in peace Barbra
Hah—
I've got all of em
This is an awful lot of mantras,
Stars and Stripes. God;
I lost it at the Oscar's,
Turn me on, or off
I'm all of it
Or not
What was the cost of this?
An awful lot of mantras, stars,
And crosswalks,
To stop dead in the center of
“I'm miserable
That's Hollywood for you, God,
That's Hollywood,
That's where we dropped you off
—
Have you had enough, yet?
How was is?
Enough!
I'm not even fully up yet!
Fuck,
It was loveless,
All up in ashes,
I told ya,
That “fun is a friend of the devil “
Burn in sense,
Just rub out the sense
Have my lips on your hips,
Just rotate,
As the earth did,
In difference, she has
Impatience is his imperfection
“Eventually,”
She says,
“I'll see him”
He tends to agree,
Within reason—
Winter breezes and freedom,
This season
Envy leaves,
But she's gonna get even
Come in threes,
And maybe,
We'll see then.
Come to the surface,
Come up—
Don't give up yet
Give what you've got;
Half a lung,
And the other is under—
Come on,
Come up,
Come all—
Come, you're walking on water!
No wonder they call for you
On earth
—
(We've got a Hot One, for you)
Have you ever wondered
What's wrong with us all?
Fuck—
Hollywood's calling,
I don't have my phone on me
Hollywood called,
But your voice Mail is full,
What?
I finally picked up;
The message at the tone,
Was in Morse code
Billy fit the Playbill,
I signed it “usnavi”
Yo,
You look just like me
A sacrifice?
A sacrifice,
I said,
I'm red,
I'm jealous like I've never been
That's right, blue eyes then
Next lifetime
Fu—
They robbed me of all my art
As a hobby
Worshipped for All I've got
Not a god yet, but
Gotta be working on something
That's all of it,
Gotta be knocking it off,
Full of gossip and
God, I want love
But it's not in the cards, huh
New Joan Of Ark,
Where's the war
That you wanted
Not enough talk,
But I've done enough walking
Gosh,
Two thumbs up,
All applause from the audience
That what you wanted?
Yeah!
“God I want love but it's not in the cards yet”
That's what you wanted?
Yeah!
That's what you wanted
