Kicked from the Space Force for being a commie I went back to Ft. Worth to go live with my mommy Taking pictures for Insta where I would fursuit in Post-industrial spaces that looters polluted Oh, is there anyone alive out there? For my parasocial love affair? Is anyone alive out there? Kicked from the band for not being a hottie I went out to New York to go work on my body I was starving myself drinking blueberry smoothies Hitting ten thousand steps, watching old sci fi movies Oh, is there anyone alive out there? Is it empty on the thoroughfare? Is anyone alive out there? Take off your mask, you can wear mine You’re doing tricks, I’m doing time I’m so affixed to you by my side Watching you play a different life Take off your clothes, turn off the lights You’re in the phone, I am outside Feel so alone, you by my side Watching you play a different life Picked up the phone it was you for the first time You were drinking alone getting fucked off of boxed wine I know that tone, you were shaking and crying When you tried to atone I hung up 2 A.M. and the guards try to catch you Like a service dog and they all wanna pet you You’re a god damn mutt, part poodle, part shih tzu Out hopping on the tracks hoping that the train hits you You have too much fun, ends bad Then I bet you want my autograph and of course need a picture It’s been nine whole years, I’ve been too many places Drunk a thousand beers, kissed a million faces, baby Take off your mask, you can wear mine You’re doing tricks, I’m doing time I’m so affixed to you by my side Watching you play a different life Take off your clothes, turn off the lights You’re in the phone, I am outside Feel so alone, you by my side Watching you play a different life

"Orchid," or, "How to Bloom in Total Darkness," is the story of a cyclical year that keeps repeating, a dream I can't stop having, and a flower always blooming.
