Projection 02:07
I cut my knuckle at this desk learning steely-browed discipline I was proud of the idea others take my ideas and listen I held them in confidence I shook my head in diffidence my heart remained on the defense I couldn't tell the difference I'll tell you all I understand everything is at least third hand will the future be so unkind out of spite, out of mind? I earned my own office I worked myself lifeless my desk became a chopping block my replacement had my likeness such powers of projection you wear your conviction without hurt, but like a victim can you tell the difference? I'll tell you all I understand everything is at least third hand will the future be so unkind out of spite, out of mind?

my life, you can’t sublimate into something only you might appreciate but if you’d only ask I break you’re even stingy with your hate you can lash out and it’ll hurt make sure you get your money’s worth am I crippled or just a fool with the salt of the earth rubbed in my wounds? did I ruin your plans to sit still? did I swipe the pennies from your till? no I didn’t, but maybe I will I’m nothing if not a cheap thrill you like to flaunt your false humility your poverty is something no one else can ever see you’ll shiver in that spot convinced your misery’s my fault I scraped together the lot, you bet I’d forgot you can lash out and it’ll hurt make sure you get your money’s worth am I crippled or just a fool? with the salt of the earth rubbed in my wounds did I ruin your plans to sit still? did I swipe the pennies from your till? no I didn’t, but maybe I will I’m nothing if not a cheap thrill

every bit of equal importance an audience built in memoirs posted in real time the only thing to lapse is life self-promoter they’re gonna show her self-promoter they’re gonna show her she hunts what’s in the way of what she really wants to say but it’s staring right at her those words are her mirror her thoughts are well-phrased as though they have weight but the ideas dancing behind them have long since escaped self-promoter they’re gonna show her self-promoter they’re gonna show her she doesn’t build other women she’s never been a mentor she’s never built herself she’s never needed help you don’t put pen to paper and you don’t make new creations but what does come out is as whole as your mouth

you ain’t gotta take a risk just lean in for a kiss I believe in your laughter I believe in all of this we are not like everyone we trip on our insight everyone pretends to see but they grope in the daylight illuminate our mishaps aggravate a synapse but I don’t care, I don’t care there are no more traps you lean out the window you’ll make me a widow but I don’t care, I don’t care we’ll never be alone because we are not like everyone we live, not reminisce I believe in your laughter I believe in all of this

Survivalist 01:13
kill it if it feels right I don’t have the luxury I don’t have a flesh cushion waiting for me my luxury is self-efficacy nobody scurries to justify me kill it without motive, with a scoff your limbs grow back when you cut them off I can’t afford the burial costs I’ve got no excuses I pay for my exhaust if it feels right x8 your body is sturdy you’re not like a child your eyes, they dim and usher out bile kill it like an infant kill it with your might you got no excuses and you ain’t got all night
