lyrics

we were all born dunked in the blood sea, the chemical bath,
a couple hundred bubbles up on the glass
the funny smell of copper in the current is affecting the senses of all the
cellular submersible jellies up in a hurry
when a pulse from the deep end vertically aligns
all the critters into swimmers syncopated in time
because this has been a place, this has been a place,
this has been a place for change

I’m lost...

lost my appetite for chemies and light,
I got a taste for the....taste for the (oxygen)
laced with gas from the big mother bubble
suck in for the system out for the rest of them
now is a hell of a time to be an organism
born again of fission and fishin for other livin (things)
cuz this has been a place, (shifting out of phase)
this has been a place for change

member my yellow belly? now i got a backbone
I move it in a wave to send a sin back home
bend the feather spine and forget to remember why
because the gift of repetition is intrinsically mine
at surface level, the lumen appears, a curious sphere, a symbol of the aerial nears, my better
half better have a plan to gather the pieces that scattered the coast, marry them, capture the probe

land ho!__ belly on the shell bits,
rough on the stomach till the
plush of the fungus and the fern beds spread,
spread like a carpet bomb,
take ground cover where the wild things are
leave tracks in the sand and the mud,
treasure map path dotted out for the herons above
because this has been a place, this has been a place (or sampled dialogue)
this has been a place for change

2 feet planted in the earth, Illinois black gold
is the cradle and the hearse,
heat on my chest, spine in my back
river rock in my palm when the thought just snaps
and the sound that is made when a stone cracks stone
is forever engrained in the deepest part of my brain
because this has been a place, this has been a place,
this has been a place for change

this has been a place, systematically encased in a flux state
ripping matter into multiple configurations
shredding confetti until ribbon threads break down
into silly string mannequin manifestations
now break it down.
