Latex Gloves 02:36
With latex gloves we mime embraces unto the outside world with bitter lips our silence tasteless kiss like the other girls With protection from connection We are touching glass and plastic pearls In rescission and reserve We are safe eyes and spoken words Without our hands we raise our faces lashes to the young Sounds on demand with strings we strung to lace my wrists and tie my tongue
2.
Vine 03:32
I'm here to tell you
 about it again
 Agitated addiction
 and the means to our end
 Battled by institutions beneath borderlines
 Underestimate us
, it wont change the crime
 if you ever see the kids down on third and vine
 they're playing doctor with death tasting treatments for time lithium means light come along for the ride
 kaleidoscope orphans
 discover the night Gutter glam grandeur
 is booming again
 pretty pills pushing pleasure
, pacify to pretend
 diagnose this destruction
, xerox this delight 
 send this zig zagging zombie
 strung out to the night
 if you ever see the kids down on third and vine
 they're playing doctor with death tasting treatments for time lithium means light come along for the ride
 kaleidoscope orphans
 out for the night yesterday's yellowed
, vicious verses reread
 fascination has faded
, he hangs helplessly fed
 Misused muse is murdered
 by medical greed
 this advancement decays
 our obscurity Optical oracle of opiates operatively opens our orifice.

Contract 02:50
Privatized prisons, built with profiteer precision 
I shed a tear incision, wet the paper algorithm
 of contracts signed and driven by the war-machine’s rhythm contracts signed and driven by the war-machine Sheet meets salted scalpel, extract insurgence from the choke-hold
 of lawful legal shrapnel wrapped round the wrists of cattle
 our fallen pawns of battle and the serf who stole the apple 
they were picking for the master and his heirs of alabaster 
my rip is tearing faster through this space-time’s case and casters
 breaking through the white-washed wall a wrecking ball that crumbles plaster 
the color of the page on which they stage our great disaster color of the page Shredded paperwork. 
Double Windsor jerk pulled to his knees and worse
 by the scarcity that lurks with safety's shadow casting protection from the class-fiends 
and the gypsy fingers grasping for our passcode throats and laughing
 
Profiteer, I shed a tear
and tear my paper contract 
like wet tissue. I take issue 
and shred it upon contact.
 Salt-trail incision. I'm bound for prison for questioning the concept. Quest for truth, I'm bound to you by the capitalist context. Contract.

Puppet 03:08
hearing the creature narrate my memoir who is the captain take me to your leader I’m directionless so film my scene torn in between around or through or in the seams microcosm spins under my skin multiverses string wing to wing moving through hallways no place to stay cerebral landscape the cortex i made I’m just below so excavate erosion process wrapped in sand and waves microcosm spins under my skin multiverses string wing to wing noticing patterns connective tissue sing songs for spiders spin the tangled tunes forget the shape of this diaphragm you are the puppet and you are the hand

Reflection 03:30
Baby your eyes are a shallow pool Reflection of my face I see myself inside you When you put me in my place Reflection I’m looking for something true Oh mirror Flip me around and hold me smooth See my expression as it stagnates From dimensions to my best angle I see myself inside you Perfect sky-blue and so strangled Reflection I’m looking for something true Oh mirror mirror Flip me around and hold me smooth Now if you look away I’ll dissolve But if you don’t blink I’ll melt I have seen myself inside you But I can’t see how I felt Reflection I’m looking for something true Oh mirror mirror Flip me around and hold me smooth Baby your eyes are a shallow pool Reflection of my face I see myself inside you When you put me in my place Reflection I’m looking for something true Oh mirror mirror Flip me around and hold me smooth

Yesbody 03:26
I don’t want to be your eyes I just want to be your nervous system I don’t want to be your eyes I just want to be your nervous system Where do you go When you come back home Melt into marrow And inhabit your bones Hold me in Be my skin So i can swim Beneath the tension Where do you go When you come back home Melt into marrow And inhabit your bones Hold me in Be my skin So i can swim Beneath the tension I don’t want to be your eyes I just want to be your nervous system I don’t want to be your eyes I just want to be your nervous system Yesbody, know body Yes body knows Yesbody, know body Yes body knows Yesbody, know body Your body knows.
