Sour Salvation; An Invitation to Blaspheme
[A]dept
Halnya Andri:
In a state, of vindictive causality
Raining alchemy, waves pour
Eclipsing gravity, without a purpose
All split from hierarchies, uncertain verses
The nervous, still wordless; servant
Of new affixations, craving desire
From endless lists, and pages
Who am I, to divide your time?
Solidified, in ancient text: retracing lines
Counting steps, each time I left
The gaze of your eyes, carbonized
I'm just steel in the wreckage, collected
Thoughts in stagant efforts, cherished nor neglected
Stolen from public life, excised messages
All I have is, quasi-romances, cynicism and bold stances
No answer, to questions of passion
I'm just entranced with her fashion
Butch swagger, stagger each acquaintance
Swung hips, pinning lips to necks in laughter
I'm just drown in hatred, epilsies in phrases
Useless in my meditation, no mediation
I can't face her, I'm too faceless
Tinted windows, guarded all arrangements
I'm too perplexed to say it, impatient
Potent melodies of fixation, turn love to frustration
Cold intimacy lingering in the rain, it's just
A moment of growing displacement, and I'm
Caught in the winds of beauty of a more powerful fragance
Never could I, move with such solemnless grace
Intoxicated feminine, unsettling deluded aura
New performance, new divorces
Left with now, forgotten images
I reshaped myself in awful viscera
Poignant death, in shameful truths
This is no woman you're used to
Scared the recognition, leads to calamity
Built in image of love in a vaccum, tragedies
Dancing in discordant times, how to move aside without falling?
All of this, collateral damage: scattered glass
Scrambling to preserve beauty as poles-shift
Sifting through boundaries, without a purpose
Standing atop puddles, coursing, too shaky for reflection
Viying for position, twisting sisters into serphents
Trying to put a name to a feeling, uneasy
I get queasy, when solutions aren't solved by a wordsmith
Cosmic binding, polluted by a first kiss
Only as mystical, as I remember it
Captured in comparsion, pleading for importance
Dissecting the self, to find something to offer
Coffer doors and rose gardens
Pardoned, by my sorry appearance
Mourning, the loss of need, never nurture them
As roles, juxtapose as poems finding no worth in
I just can't focus, the underlying curse is
I'm not good enough alone, to love
When the homes are lined with hearses
She said: "Ain't worth love if it can't hurt ya'"
Dangerous interia, mangled by the surface
Tension in domestic service, sold myself
Don't be good at something, you don't want to do
Hide in the coccon, a terror to measuring spoons
Die in your YouTube views, relics forgotten
Plodding hands on a marble coffin
I don't think about it often, often I don't think
All your ambitions, just gone in a blink
20 year olds, living out my wildest dreams
That's just a sacrifice, you breath in
At 30, I'll be dead on my feet
A decade, full of skeletons I can't face
Stumbled out the closet, clavicle offended
All this jaw is sharp for, is cutting myself down
Rifles in the wedding gown, grenades in the garter
If my body were the sea, please part her
That bush doesn't stutter, firestarter
Moses in a sundial, measuring time with pressed pills
Hungry in the sight of strip steak
It's all just music for my ribcage
Who gives a fuck what the bitch at?
I chew glass, before I ask for a gift plate
I'm just a shift meal away from, a mass casuality incident
Whatever you call it, the gaw of a coward
It's a etching on stone at a dead prison
Just be thankful for what you're given
What beauty you can carve out, from humble beginnings
Let the E flow, like tar in the Ohio
Let the cicadas sing, my life on vinyl
Just place my old body at it's mouth
I'm through drowning in a drought
Pray my body never floats south
ITSD:
Think about the raccoon the roadkill used to be
He or she just like me wanted to eat and sleep
Have playful dreams
Wrestle with kids and siblings
Explore find a place to call home at least
But now it’s just meat
Some might say c’est la vie
If that’s what we mean say it again
C’est la vie
C’est la vie
C’est la vie
