People Pleaser

Listened to 'she she shine on' and wondered why not settle down
Burn my arm
Brand me with your taste of pain today people pleaser
Pour on salt
When I'm not talking, you are talking, you say you know me better than yourself
Touch with ice
Ears filled with crossed fingers, taking in the echos of your own voice
Soaking my head in bleach, I whiten my own teeth
Wiping away my eyes, leave them in bluer skies
Surely I'm ill-prepared, life without comfort gets better
Stayed the line of classic decision, and eyes forward always
Counting the damaged cars, retract your delicate mirrors
Constantly asking what, answering questions with questions
Ignoring a piece unglued, swearing that I've felt sicker
Fielding a heavy doubt, calls are confirming the worst
Hair piled in awful mound, earful of days without sound
Over-extend my reach, retract half a limb gnawed clean
Make a meal of my decision to trust people won't take advantage
Been told I'm too trusting, find light in dark places, I'm too close to humans

Nothing's new, you're learning to live with old ideas
Millions feeling alone in their careered opinions
Enduring the wait for Orwellian politics timely end
Common sense is so fringe its at home in anarchist bookstores
Kill for opinion in wider eye
Showing off your arrangements, they're edible
How the hell can one support on college borrowed time
Thinking hopeful
Our great leader tells no lies
Almighty unknowing, lord of flies
Balsa gavel in trembling hand
Paid to know better, 'cause they smile and boy is he a good guy
Cast yours or swallow your pride
Process yourself into unrelated small collections
Open house, vinyl-sided fiberglass disease
Check for radon
In time still swimming in wet cement
Become foundation
Underfoot agenda suppressed
The motion is making me sick
But who'd replace you from our rank?
A golden child

Away, no sound
I gaze, unwound
A stark ascent
An ocean smell
I see their shape
Absorbing wake
A beam to blind
A loss of time
Ammonia
And cinnamon
I'm washing off
A drowning shell
In space the light
It drips, subsides
Am I awake?
In arms of greys?

Is it open?
Are they Monday (to us?)
I'm not a monster just because I house one
Sense my own feelers like I'm derivative
Awake, no sound I make
A broken understanding of a social disorder (I cave)
Our competition for your omnipotence
Calculate feeling, I'm a machine again
Is it oceans
Away from your own thoughts? (I'd say)
You're just not speaking what you are thinking
I did not kill them, they are just sleeping

Who am I to make decisions?
Commit to capture, I'm imprisoned
In a life of hiding, what is living?
Can't be troubled, we're still stitching
Become a tool of the enigma
Feeling foolish to care so much
Some eyes are green, but yours are yella
Do you have dark intent? There is no telling
Face, is it ungluing? It's itching
Pair, eyes are unblinking, they're deserts now
Fair, few things are
What is the meaning of this problem?
Pull on the kite string ever-present, your name revealed
Fake ground beef and imitation
Piled onto something special, wheat or chaff?
Are you Vick Vinegar's disciple?
Or are you bark with spiny bosses?
A culmination of your senses
Bleeding armor now defenseless
Food, not just for thought
Feed the worms coffee grounds
Taste replacing self
Like a cycle of nutrients
Tongue, culture club
Your noggins are dieting
Numb, deaf in smell
The flavor's just barely there

Who are you tasting whole-head-mouth?
Obvious waste of data collection
Hanging in space will your blood freeze?
The science incomplete, nobody's done that
Pulling a feeling from excess
Magnetic call to security camera stars
Am I achieving whats expected?
Am I too focused on subtext?
Upon finding arcing lens
World saved, boil faster
(R)unner serve on icy floor
Slip well and hold your laughter
(Tyr)annosaurus crick in neck
Fossil cast and finders keepers
(Pers)onally I liked the film
I'm a sucker for a farce thriller
A face-hand is frozen in plaster
Talking in circles around your
Sluggish attempts at collecting
Unfinished business that is stunted
Unworthy oppressor await me
What weighs down your tonsil? Noise gated
Take root in the thought that you're little
And under a shadow of eagle
Counting broken digit swells
Shave keratin, (tin)man is weeping
(In)crease breath-hold capacity
We're choking on asbestos
(Toas)t at the wedding has sparkling moments
"I knew you before they knew you"
(U)ser composed of salvage parts
You're moving on trash-spark combustion
Overwhelmed with self-defense
You're always enemy
Over time makes little sense
Aging under
Confused or misleading, what's sentiment?
I cry when you're in pain
Is it pride or depression, looping station?
Constant entertainment? Fix what broke
