Glass Cocoon 03:58
Surround me in fragile things I rest deeply like I am fragile too Breakable things Let me break down Like I am fragile too I am learning from glass figurines Flower petals and teacups Abstract feelings Deconstructed through Shattered expectation It’s a good thing It feels like a breakdown of my exhausted masculinity This opening feels like violence to me The kind that forces total transformation Oriented towards heart Like a jellyfish I am thick light Oh I feel it Oh it’s my body And this opening feels like violence to me
2.
My heart smarted with life and built a golden road yes I say my mountain flower one hundred rivers, an omen & the floating smell of jasmine and myrrh before death we slept after life we saw her
 without words, free to undress a collapsing madness half into darkness responding to a practical display of my private thoughts he is patient and pining crescendoing real frequencies discovering the moon and bonus fever dreams naked in your garden slave to soft underneath craving the secrets of pure expression consuming like a wine drunk god transmute your pain from isolation to lesson letting out the primal surge of love in the fearlessness of clarity
3.
Fifty are the gates of understanding And one hundred and six are the seasons thereof And the names of every season is Death And the threshold her open legs To which you give every drop of blood Impregnated in her And then reborn But I’m greedy like a child I want it I want it Yeah im greedy like a child I cry and cry about it I want to hide like a child oh hold me hold me And so I eat or sleep or I die To ignore and distract me She say hold out your heart I will devour She say live like a god Or die a coward But fifty are the gates of understanding And one hundred and six are the seasons thereof And the name of every season is death And the threshold are her open legs To which you give every drop of blood 
impregnated in her And reborn
4.
You're adding layers, walls. You're body so heavy, so big Does that build allow for the sublimation of your total despair Its childhood fear The hatred of all things delicate Realizing you need massive amounts of love Lets cry about it, cry with me! 

but you've prioritized the image over The heart underneath Hyper independence to submit yr tenderness, a slave That which is denied gains power And seeks insidious manifestation Oh hey but you suffer So beautifully Like a red heart Ripped from the chest of a sleeping buck Soft like tearing a rose petal Its a kind of cruelty Archaic violence Destroying paradise Tell me, how do you do it? With all that weight upon you? Atlas wants to know What gym you go to.
5.
Deliverance 04:41
my heart has but one mouth that calls to you I require no validation for words Are not the way of love No I live without expectation this too is love! that too is love! I know the rotting fruit The burning house the blooming branch the suffering and the pleasure The terrifying beauty of existing are all god Its not up to I to decide If I grow strong or weak It is just God within me So I allow and find joy In every facet of the diamond covered in dirt Oh this fragile mind of mine I’m gonna let it die
6.
I am watching my ego want to have, and to hold And this spark is a divine reminder that I can be in love and be alone But I dreamt Of your hair in my mouth And my bed I feel a warm fire I don’t need but I desire I dreamt of fur and sex Of my hands on your chest And I feel you trembling An opened-mouth an interim Together then It’ll be better We can come consider anything for Love The pulse of power The crumbling tower First dissolve and then decide Purify and then collide There is no good, there is no bad there is only this we can consider anything for love All that matters is the kiss, only this Purify and then collide No rules, no book, Transparency, that godly look A lunar Aphrodite Authentic and deep We shall see, we shall see First purify and then collide anguish comes when I realize more naked places to discover And you are the sun on the water A divine spark that makes me want oh so much But I will wait, I will see, I will wait till it comes to me I will wait, then respond Rather than strive or chase, I will wait Purify and then collide
