All the stars aligned just right and set in motion something comically complex set a fire behind your eyes a microcosm of corporate interest we know exactly who you are we're gonna drown you out with substances and dampen your olight and convolute your dreams with product placement product placement you don't get to make a decision my body was (is) my body is (was) my own when did your box get so rigid that it could only shape and one kind of person did you learn it? well unlearn it I wonder what it'd be like if you just stopped trying to sell me something I don't want or need I can't be that because it's not how I want to be seen and now I'm trying to unlearn everything that you taught me you don't get to make a decision my body was (is) my body is (was) my own when did your box get so rigid that it could only shape and one kind of person did you learn it? well unlearn it

Chill Murray 03:02
Every day's the same for me shake off your dreams and wipe the crust out of your eyes the repetitive sunrise is driving me insane and I can't do anything about it because every day's the same but I ain't no Bill Murray I ain't no Andie MacDowell I ain't no Bill Murray and this ain't Groundhog Day I forget what you were saying entire conversations relating to the angle of a turning point but once I get my math right and make important calculations I can leave this axis of rotation because I am spinning out of control and I am falling in and out of line with my own patience I wish I was Bill Murray I wish I was Andie MacDowell and I know this ain't no move but I wish it was every day's the same I gotta change that somehow

I've been trying to scream but the words won't come out I've been trying all my life now I feel I hold a debt to every script rehearsed inside my head everything I wanted to say but didn't you never sound the same when you're speaking through my membranes saying all the things I want to hear setting up the perfect chance to tell you how I really feel terra cotta you are meant to sit in sunshine thought I'd lost ya thought I'd found a way to close the blinds self reflection, convalescence, days spent in the deepest, darkest, dampest darkness sick all of my enamel slowly dripping as I swear to comfort trying to trick my brain into snuggling up to everything I hate feigning the dark arts so I feel more comfortable in darkness scrubbing off my skin just to erase tattoos of your name from my face terra cotta heart melting in my chest the fragile mold couldn't hold in the shade you live in I wet my lips with clay that drips and with a kiss send my bon voyage on parchment the hardest part is all those promises evaporate when I let the sunlight back in it's not all about an ill contempt I just know that things will change when my true mold hardens terra cotta you are meant to sit in sunshine thought I'd lost ya thought I'd found a way to close the blinds the omnipresent, unfinished sentence I can't even read the words that I wrote down at all terra cotta you are meant to stand the rainstorm thought I'd lost ya thought I'd found a way to stay inside broke umbrella, drowned the well I jumped into a puddle thinking that it was a pond convinced myself I had forgotten how to swim

I was fading, now my pants are sweaty I was dreaming, and reality's heavy so out of my body I go into the endless and ageless echo chamber the place where the time moves the slowest I changed the time to correct in the kitchen the clock was set 10 minutes ahead I went out and smoked a cigarette the space between seconds and minutes I started to notice different I was floating in a smoke cloud and decided to go in what I felt there and then: like a difference of 10 minutes of who I was in that moment and where I could be converged at an instant and all that was left was me I admit I'm a little embarrassed of who I claim to be put your actions where your mouth is and then we'll see what happens when patience and promise meet and karmic cycles complete I was dancing, now my pants are sweaty I was dreaming, and reality's heavy so out of my body I go into the endless and ageless echo chamber the place where the time moves the slowest the place where the time moves so slowly

I'm hurt I feel cursed thank god no one in this town fucks with black magic because I've had it with shadows peering over my spine I love when the "boys" wear makeup I love when the "boys" wear padded bras I know I'm not what you say I are Do I have to show you that I'm bleeding to get you to believe me do I have to fit into the shape you've made to keep all your fears locked away nothing terminates the dream like staying silent the world will pass me by if I remain on autopilot nothing terminates the dream by staying silent I need you to believe me

Lily boy, who gave you your flowers? you're a silly boy, why didn't you pick them yourself? I was a little coy when I gave them my answer, disregarding the question for something entirely else Petal girl, who gave you your roses? You're a stupid girl, why didn't you grow them yourself? Well, I was misinformed and now I'm begging the question what's the spring to the daisy, the summertime to the belles? Why do I crave the sword on either shoulder? It's right there in front of me I could pull it from the stone instead of getting stoned in my parents' home fall into place and not fall hard The lilies fall from the birthday card They say this one is different, this gift is something better we've brought you a permission, we've brought puppies for your sweater I can do that myself, don't need a slip to get signed I wait forever for this pen to click and not leave me behind I can't be left behind I can't be left behind I see no flowers in your hair, no stars in your eye You show all the gusto of a passionate fly when the world comes to eat you, you'll know why I want those flowers in my hair, those stars in my sky
