Psychic streams of crimson shimmering a vigilante
Prism waves are swept through all of us
On a canvas I could feel the flow of sound below me
And it’s almost all too beautiful to bear
On a high wire I’m alive on the wings
And I can’t stop ‘cause I don’t know how it ends
It’s a simple thing, it haunts you with a blank intention
Carousel your thoughts and autoclave your dreams
It’s the closest thing that you and I will ever know
And we’ll never quite know what it’s supposed to mean
On a high wire I’m alive on the wings
And I can’t stop ‘cause I don’t know how it ends
We don’t ask why
We won’t follow

I’m good at turning a friend to an enemy
I revel in your stupid frown
You gave me silk and preached with impunity
I spun a web all over town.
I’ve got the untrained legs of a centipede
I’ve never done much walking ‘round
That’s what I get for a lifetime of smoking weed
Wrapped my cocoon deep underground.
Tell me what you want
Only if it counts as what I need
Only up at night, awake to feed
Hanging by a live wire thread, upside down
I vilified my place in humanity
By standing still, frothing at the mouth
My mandibles spew heresay and silly string
I’m better off not making sounds.
I’m good at turning my friends into enemies
I spin my web too tighly wound.
Moon’s aglow
Noose too low
Moon’s aglow
Noose too low

A wink, a double take, a whisper,
A glance, a lingering look… A shiver:
I shudder as I mull it over;
A stupid grin, a shrug of shoulder.
And you all laughed
And I laughed too so I wouldn’t look bad
Tried to hide it, can’t deny it
And I swear at myself in my head while I’m sighing.
It seemed to last for fucking ever:
The storm that I was forced to weather.
My face it couldn’t have been redder,
Your girlfrind couldn’t cackle louder.
And I can’t lie
You just had to go and call out my down fly
And I know it’s not the worst crime
But now you’ll bring it up for the rest of all time
‘Cause you pointed, and you all laughed
And I laughed too so I wouldn’t look bad
Tried to hide it, can’t deny it
And I swear at myself in my head while I’m sighing.
I didn’t realize my fly was down,
I didn’t realize…
