The bookshelf was rearranged
With dog ears on certain pages
Someone’d been leafing through
Spider in my room
The laundry once folded neat
Had toppled to some degree
I’ve got ironing to do
Spider in my room
I’m out to catch you and
I’ll trap you in a jar
I know you’re in here somewhere
You cannot have gotten far
A ring on my oaken desk
Where coffee had sat to rest
No coaster had been in use
Spider in my room
—
The closest was left ajar
A string snapped on my guitar
The tuning was different too
Spider in my room
The waste bin held ashy flecks
That dropped from a cigarette
The stench said he smoked a few
Spider in my room
I’m out to catch you and
I’ll crush you with a shoe
I know you’re in here somewhere
I’d skip town if I were you
The drywall was chipped away
The landlord will make me pay
And likewise you will pay too
Spider in my room

Cork bored
Time stands still upon the memory of my corkboard
📌
I cut through realities like butter with a broadsword
🧈🤺
If I gave the end away, would you watch the shadow play?
🎭
how the sausages get made, sharpen up, tools of trade
🌭🤠
A criminal in retrograde, walk like Phil Collins, talk like Spock
🖖
I don’t believe in fate, no, I think you make your luck
🍀
Play around with crazy glue long enough and you’ll get stuck
🔮
I can be your J.B. Flethcer, I can help you deconstruct
👵🏼
Nothing is quite as it seems (the map is not the territory) 🗺️
My lens is smeared with Vaseline (can’t see the forest for the trees) 🎥
I’ll paint sound, if you’re listening (I think I may, I think I might) 🎨
You’re deep and wide and glistening ✨
Run it over and over, and over again, like a continental soldier
💂♀️
Scattered thoughts spread out like dots, across the week, over my shoulder
😵💫
Connected elemental spurts work a body ‘till it hurts
🏋🏻♂️
Push the fundamentals first, obey your thirst
🥤
The world may fall apart at the seams, ripple in an ocean of infinity
♾️
I think I may I think I might be living in a dream, dream, dream, dream
🛌

"Is there a party where we can go to where I don't have to feel like shit?
I'd invite you to the one in my head, but you wouldn't like the guests
It's much better here; no one seems rude
All the outlets are happier and the shadows wear swimsuits
Everything is beautiful when you're young and broken
Everything is beautiful when you're young and broken
She thought you were a method actor, I looked down and barked, ""No""
Reading the chimes and overheard lines from all your midday soaps
I keep telling myself, like everybody else,
I'm looking for a way to incubate my larvae on the go
Everything is beautiful when you're young and broken
Everything is beautiful when you're young and broken
Everything is beautiful when you're young and broken
Everything is beautiful when you're young and broken"

I gotta back back full of that need to know,
I gotta penny stack, hittin that 5 below,
I got super glue holdin up my accord
and i still want more
I got time to talk about this and that,
I got a chemichal mixture without a match,
I know a bit about the body, and what its for
and I still want more
I still want more
I gotta 10 year plan and i’m back in school,
I got blueprints commin and I bought the tools,
got it pinned up nice, on the corkboard,
and i still want more
I got furnature taken up the 10 x 10,
it’s got metal and wood cause i’m in the trend,
I’m cool like that, and self assured,
and I still want more.
Gotta frog in the pocket
gotta fork in the socket
got enough to endure
but I still want more
I still want more
