12:00AM it's midnight feeding time 12:34AM it's feeding time it's feeding time it's feeding time it's feeding time midnight it's feeding time 3:33AM check to see that you're still alive 3:45AM check to see that you're still alive 7:00AM alarm when you're working with wood sometimes your hands feel oddly unalive around 9:30AM every ritual, an addiction consume peanuts oil and bread for breakfast sometime 11:00AM oh good, you're still there I've done this many times 11:10AM I don't think I can compromise I don't think I can compromise I don't think I can compromise wishes unfold 12 foot blues 11:11AM 12:00PM meridian my life threatening to unfurl hot coals red coils tissue paper blooming 3:00PM forget to eat I thought I'd be writing more I thought I'd be writing more I thought I'd be at 4:30PM consuming media for social gain a tether tied and untied what if my breath cannot cleanse me use the ghost of my umbilical cord to cut me remember to feed you procrastinate but follow through and what would happen if you filled me up and what would happen if you filled me up and what would happen if you filled me up 5:43PM 21 seconds ago I read the texts and red them and re-read them and read them and read them and read them and read them and the light glowing reading me the reeds in me gloaming your black and blue words looming something waiting for me and someone I'm waiting on 5:55PM now is prune the fruit tree of responsibility respond don't react don't flinch consider not saying a word 6:01PM the chaos kitchen I never know what's mine to take 7:03PM alarm 7:12PM alarm I don't want to do it my life threatening to stay alive my life threatening to stay alive I don't want to do it 8PM stretching Time I thought I'd be writing to you now intrusive thoughts protruding grotesque beginnings like my bank account 8:88PM that Time may not exist I I may be filled with magic idea gas 9:99PM on being alone in a darkened dorm dorm dormir no Domingo unresting 10PM in the year of my most horrible haunting I slept for 36 hours and convinced myself I was not alone someone was calling my old name come smoke in the bathtub with us you are not my friend you are not my friend 11:50PM thinking of how thinking of how thinking of how I might thinking of how I might be to you thinking of how I might be to you in your eyes more than your eyes sometimes 11:52PM is this what it's like? is this what it's like? is this what it's like? 11:55PM anticipate the alarm I know it's something I can actually do 11:57PM will not make the public vision any different 20:20 PM they see it's the big E and how it exists for them it's not in the fine print my last wishes in a bucket I consent to being remembering the penultimate page torn to kindle 12PM 12AM feeding Time feeding Time feeding Time

Is water wet? 02:29
lyrics
is water wet? oh, is water wet? is water wet? oh, is water wet? is water wet? oh, is water wet? or my needs unmet? water itself just is wet itself is just a consequence of water water itself is not wet it just is did you think I wouldn't hear the rain? wet is just a condequence of water itself just is the flood reeks of rain in the basement did you think I wouldn't hear you?
