nests

pressing her palms together
she recalls someone saying
you need to build a nest
don't forget
THEN you can rest
only then you can rest
but she did forgot
and she dun nuthin
in her head
but her head tells lies
all the time
and then she is convinced and everyone is convinced
and nobody cares
nobody cares
what she thinks about what people think about her
and they don't and it doesn't matter
so she builds a nest
in the mean time
she listened to her friend

clear the deck...

...then maybe there will be space to rest
disease
eats me
my mouth
my head
my eyes
my feet
I am in the floor again
knowing nothing of my mind or what's true
mind says it knows better than I do about you
reality escapes me
but one literal glimmer
the sun
on opposite windows
is orange
and takes them all up
and the motorway is the sea
and the flats are the hotels
and we are on a cold beach
talking shit
and it's all okay
can you feel it?

And all these times I said to all these different people
I'll show you
And I said I'll never show you once, foretelling
That this is something extraordinary
Not just an excuse not to have the courage to speak
Maybe it's better that way
Not to speak
In this age of delusion
For now
Now I am spent
I will sleep
And stop walking into things

unimpressed

So I namedrop
You are
Unimpressed

I sing
You look
You seem unimpressed

But you look at me
You are impressed
I am happy
