Adrift

Bleed me out
Check my humors
Close your mouth
Your tongue is a tumor
I’m spinning out
And I lost my grip
I’m adrift
Drift drift drift
I’m adrift
Drift drift drift
I’m adrift
Drift drift drift
drift drift drift
I sifted through the lines
Only to find
Your hand wrapped around mine
If you meet me in the middle
Of this empty plane
I’ll keep saying your name
When it turns a shade of blue
I’ll take care of you

Oh my god
I used to be so fine
Fuck me up
Oh my god
Just pass the weed and fine wine
Fuck me up

If I could feel it all the time
But you’re so happy
In your coma
Where the world just stands in place
Waiting for your golden moment
When they throw you your parade
Hallelujah
It’s a new day
And it’s waiting for you still
Hallelujah
When it’s over
Say you won’t
I bet you will
If I could feel it all the time
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
I’m so happy
I’m so happy
I’m so happy
I’m doomed
I’m doomed
I’m doomed
I’m doomed
I’ll assume
I’ll assume I’ll assume I’ll assume
It’s worth the wait

Minuet For Tomorrow

Is our love too much?
Does it cost us too much?
Can we all be too much?
I can’t decide on my own

What you want
I can give
My love is higher
My love is softer
Just fold into me
My man goes walking in the woods
He’s got a deal with the devil
Now he’s breathing smoke
No police (please)
Don’t clap back
Eyes black
It’s a trap
Feed em’ trash
Make em’ fast
Get that cash back
Keep em high
Keep em high
Move to the shape of my mouth
No stopping until the fear falls out
Lose your hands
Forget your plans
You don’t live there anymore
Just hold on to me
My man goes walking in the woods
He’s got a deal with the devil
Now he’s breathing smoke
No police (please)
Don’t clap back
Eyes black
It’s a trap
Feed em’ trash
Make em’ fast
Get that cash back
Keep em high
Keep em high
Limb by limb
Limb by limb
Limb by limb
Limb by limb

I’ll take you down
Limb by limb
Limb by limb
Limb by limb
Limb by limb
I’ll take you down

Here’s a thought
Or a quandary really
Um, I take a medication that
If I take a certain amount
It makes me feel numb
And like I’m just watching the world.
But if I don’t take it
I am so anxious and depressed
And out of my head
That I feel everything
So nothing or everything
It should be said
that at this point in the voice-memo
Peter cleared his throat
Cough cough
But also though, I’m
I’m working on my
Sniff sniff
It should be said that at this point in the voice-memo
Peter has the sniffles
(he sniffs)
But also though
I’m working on my mindfulness practice
That is just
That is just like
A way to observe and kind of distance yourself
So are these drugs
doing what it would feel like
To be completely immersed in mindfulness?
Or like
Zen Buddhism or something?
I don’t know
Sniffle sniffle
Cough cough
Happy 4th of July

Hold Me Down
03:48

I need someone to hold me down
I need your weight
I need your ground
I need someone to hold me down
I need your weight
I need your ground
I need someone to hold me down
I need your weight
I need your ground
Oh
If you give it to me
I’ll take what I need
Leave you the husk of the seed
The skin of my teeth
Down
I need someone to hold me down
I need your weight
I need your ground
I need someone to hold me down
I need your weight
Wait wait wait wait wait
I know I’m going to die
But I’m not afraid
Not of that
And that’s not a lie
My fear is ancient
Like a rock formation
Formed eras and ages ago
Now it’s strewn with youth faded
And heartbreak
It’s pretty and jaded
pretty and jaded
Professions of devotion
Long since forgotten
That require no emotion

Now you get on the back seat
Heartbeat
Hardly gone
Yeah you get it on the lowkey
Going behind closed doors
Imagine what your family would say
If they know
That you get on the low
Now you get on the back seat
Heartbeat
Long and slow
Yeah you’re diggin’ in the dirt boy
Hurt boy gone to low
And baby if you had to dad
You’d lick it off the bathroom floor
Yeah, you get it on the low
Miss miss miss
I don’t mean to bask in it
I’m droppin’ off topic
Oh no still nomadic
Uh
Zoned in and dying
Is this it
Do we need a bassinet?
Uh uh
Imma just unfasten it
Don’t don’t don’t
I don’t even laugh at it
Fuck
I’m so dramatic
(I’m so dramatic)
Never mind what the man say
Never mind what the doctor say
Never mind what your girl say
It’s the only way
Nevermind what the man say
It’s the only way
It’s the only way

There's no feeling
I'm deaf and dumb and blind
I'm so ready
To leave you at your side
There's no feeling
It's just that I'm alive
I'm so ready
To leave you at your side
I won't get there
Before you can lay it all out
Would you let me in?
It's such a shame
that I feel my best
Soaking in gin
Let me be God this time
Come, Daddy won't you light me on fire?
Make it random
Only following desire
We can be kind
But fuck your fandom
Don't want to be upfront and center
Give me space
Sun, dust or whatever
Til I'm great
But god don't make me star
I don't want to be a
I'll be a shadow on a dead moon
Tending a single flower
Until it blooms
Shouting love and regret
Mr. Floyd Rest in Power
Back home
You will hear me only
Sometimes maybe and never
If I had my way
You would hear me
Sometimes, maybe and never

You put one foot down

And then another one in front that

And keep walking

I feed you lines
