Palm Squeeze

Sixty six serpents slithered from the citadel

all were bred of tremulants while one is just skilled

and that was me the spine amber column illusionist

cause in reality I got a splintered mind

severed seven ways from bellies term diagnosis

like turmoil and when the oil pours from the sky

and it's the tallest gentlemen that are the first to die

I pray with a sigh that I could fetch this allegiance

with at long last a universe that was going to let me know

what it was like to be free versed and legless


I got my palms pressed to my belly

like god is speaking through the grass

while you thought I was reaching for a dagger

then slew me before you got the chance to just ask


high in might

while at the same time stair stepping

with an aim blessed along the wider grounds

I found seeds and valuable insects whispering secrets

you can only uncurl in the dirt kind of darkness

and so once again on another moon rise

I perpetually relieve the disguise

that there ain't a good grin to be had

against those who've no palms to squeeze

in thirsty rows sequentially and don't ask please

cause we know what it's like to have and to be had

the clean air and the dust down there

get along fine as surely as I have limbs to spare

and honestly it ain't that bad

so on every night and on the in betweens

I pray with a sigh that i could fetch this allegiance

with at long last a universe that would let me know

what it was like to be free versed and legless


I got my palms pressed to my belly

like god is speaking through the grass

while you thought I was reaching for a dagger

then slew me before you got the chance to just ask


and yea I got a tongue split in half

as pie values licked long digits

up over and on every hour of the clock

a different babe across the planet worshipped

numbers in an uncountable amount of languages

and that's fine cause every alphabet

curves in relation to the topography

and the elders accusation of the passing of time

and a limited array of vantages and colour-blind sight

where between horizon and sky

the spit stuck at one point

and now it just bleeds against the canopy

drawing thunder and hunger penciled to the pixel

practically paint bucketed present preconceptions

parallel only to the gallows

I slipped through the noose

cause while smoke only rises

I guess that I'm neck less

with two sharp fangs and not a tooth

but a positive suggestion stolen away

with my trap door disappearance

a carved skull full of gas resin

to remind the organ master

it ain't nothing personal

but I ganked those old tremulants by the hand full

for they compliment my skills my will and my vision

and I know the pragmatic seething

choked on it's own hypocrisy

smothered overabundance

of soaked drift wood kindling

so I set about to ignite it's righteous relighting

and dig out a shallow space slight enough to go into hiding

to find instead of finding

in order to fuck my remorse

I'm just here to burrow out a purpose

'til I reach the light and it's source


I got my palms pressed to my belly

like god is speaking through the grass

while you thought I was reaching for a dagger

then slew me before you got the chance to just ask

I got my palms pressed to my belly
like god is speaking through the grass
like god is speaking
through the transparency and reflection in the glass
