you can pretend i'm who you want
and
i can pretend i'm them too
we can close our eyes
and hope these hooks
in the back of our brains
to tug a little bit softer
i'll fuck up quite often
but i will always stay true
and i won't regret a goddamn thing
cuz i'll know it's the best i could do
there's not much i could ask of you
there's so much i would wish of you
i'll just fasten my nose
to the grindstone
til i can make do it what it do:
i'll block out the wayward glances
focus in on fanning chances
till they burst like a bruise::
my fire statue!:::
i will mold it with my hands
and then spread it with each dance
that i'm refining in my room
cut my way up from a gloom
that had ivied over my legs
i got a restless tongue, don't you know?
[/that's] born to unwind all this vex
fitness
debt
craft
sex
next
[i gotta get this out my chest]
i think i'm howard roark
harry potter
what would buffy do?
go harder
go farther
go in
go in
go in!
i think i'm kanye west
shawn carter
what would nicki do?
go farther.
go harder.
go in
go in
go in!
[you know
you've got
nothing to do
but duck down
in this stream
and carve your voice
the white
will find
its way
just keep
your hands
moving as honest
as you
Can]

for sky
for the blue
when the ghosts are hungry
will you breathe out a thought at all?
when our lives aren't touching
for a while
will the meaning fall?
should i not expect a call?

(gain strength from the light like kal-el)
but Glitterfaced Ponderer of Gender
is my super hero name [UNGH]
(at least three of my heroes know my name)
one is at my side or in my mind at ti imes
(i'm a good son, i'm really doing fine)
i really do alright
(my parents know i love them
and my heart is in the right)
if your heart is in the right place
say yeah
(yeah)
(already back in bed, burping smoke out my nose)
weathering a complex, staying most out my clothes
(staying more out my clothes, liking more of my clothes)
getting compliments on more of my clothes!
(crying at britney spears and buffy)
kissing her shoulders really early
(lift every night at 2:40, then
make some cool shit and watch buffy
younger new twincharger
whose seeds have set to barking:
holster your bravado
and be more brave, be auto
auto with your pushing
auto when yr nigga need money for a fish taco
especially if he could outrap you
on your own damn track
boy goddess bless you
(my name now refers to a spirit)
i divorce it from the old testament
(reason, faith, and heart)
may they carry me through to the end
(realest nigga's real talk)
real niggas don't talk
'i won't get to rest if you don't get to rest'
i could write our whole revival
'i won't get to rest if you don't get to rest'
in misheard lyrics and scriptures, that point straight into the clouds
it's all automatic when i do it!
that's why i can't stop
this
self-mythologizing:
[Blood Meridian::]
motherunfucker inscribed on his knuckles
as young teen rubbin nuts off to the Rubbles
fuckin in chat rooms, addict computer
weird fucking kid, no friends from school or
that are even black close ears about that
run late to school run home after that
with the GDs at your back
and the white kids on your mind
looking for some hand-shaped clouds
so you can find
somewhere you can land
with a mouth wide open
find the malcolm x
break the world open
remember cheetos in the summer
laser disc with dad
bad boys blade runner
aliens dumb & dumber
even though th that's your grades
thaddon't mean that that's your fate
catapault from faith
kiss the dirt
splash your face
close your eyes
somewhere that you've never been before
and stick to the greens
like you herbivore, Kid
and when me and the boys went out
we killed, a thousand, butterflies
"so i put their wings into my mouth and said
a prayer for our safe arrival"
a lil behavior modification
never hurt nobody
meaning there's a chip in my brain
and i can't hurt nobody
craft every song into a wonderful leviathan
and board a love train with that angry nigga ty and them
and play board games with the demons that be tying them
tryna read death's mind
somewhat bill and ted
do everything manually
labor under dread

'there was a white girl high on xanax
drunk out of her mind
hooked her arm in mine
and decided she wanted to spill her mind
told me the difference
between
me and a nigger
and a nigga
and it made as much sense to me
as whenever I witness
dudes defending their usage of bxxxh
like "there's Women and there's Them"
there's shelters and statistics
that show you're full of privlege
I mean you're
full of shit
housewife housenigga
i don't mind dick, but that don't mean i'm a faggot- i'm just confused, pops'
'i said i'm
tired of these white girls
looking at me like i look at all
the other black boys'
i used to say
'i'm tired of all these white girls
looking at me like i look at all
the other black boys'
i'm in the noose so like
("your cell phone, i'm complex.")
i'm in your boss so like
("your cell phone, i'm complex.")
i'm in your glance so like
("your cell phone, i'm complex.")
i'm in your hands so like
("your cell phone, i'm complex.")
i'm in your home so like
("your cell phone, i'm complex.")
i'm in your bones so like
("your cell phone, i'm complex.")
i'm in your jokes so like
("your cell phone, i'm complex.")
i'm in your hopes
('i know, i know...it's too late...')
'i know, i know you didn't mean it'
('i know, i know...it's too late...')
i know, i know you're not racist
('i know, i know...it's too late...')
i know you have friends and cousins that are gay
('i know, i know...it's too late...')
i know she decided to have sex with you anyway
i'm in your self like
("your cell phone, i'm complex.")
i'm at your self so like
("your cell phone, i'm complex.")
i'm at your self so like
("your cell phone, i'm complex.")
i'm in your health so like
("your cell phone, i'm complex.")
what i'm talkin bout y'all
it's RACISM

your face (End of Days)
07:12

'your face is at the top of my mountain'
you are my colors
you are my colors
you said you coulda almost made that line
be the words that were on your back
you said but that's crazy
i'd say fine, i'll reciprocate you back
it's the 2.0 two turbo
of everything we been through
it's the sequel
in the sequel
you can break all kinds of rules!
our parents told us stories (UNGH)
to make our bruises feel better (UNGH)
i bet they're smiling now
do you think they think we're better?
better than their 80s
better at what we keep
i think their belief is deep
that is much of a sign to me!
there is never a time
where we don't live far as fuck from each other
two time zones or hours
we've turned ourselves around
so this has gotta be a revolution
'your face your face is at the top of my mountain'
it's awesome
it's such a vivrant thing
that we got
no Hype
no skips
no sides
no playing
but playing
and lots and lots of playing!
and lots and lots of FUN
cuz girl you are the only one
and we are the only two
you are the only you
and i am only i
when you
are lying
by my
ssssssss
(i'd ride...)
you are swinging from the spines of all my best dreams
you are the bomb, you have thoroughly impressed me!!
(side ride...)

when
you see
the Sun
hung up
in the sky
his preferred
family
circling his throne
they don't
know the
blood coating his crown;
the darkest brown,
your mothers
when i rip your heart out
it won't be for me
when i rip your heart out
it won't set me free
but there are ghosts
but there are ghosts
but there are ghosts
but there are ghosts
when i rip your heart out
it won't be for me
when i rip your heart out it won't set me free
but there are ghosts

so i'm liking
this dominance
the breathing and
the tightened wrists
so i'm liking
this submission
when we wind
in the same
direction
so i'm liking
your permission
and i'm loving
the third time
like even more than the first
so i tighten
we jynx
each other
we jynx
each other
we jynx
each other
hey ah i
i love you boy
i love you girl
so
(...)
for when i
wanna hold your hand
