GHOST SHIP 03:23
there’s a lot of love in this house so why am i afraid of the ghosts in my peripheral there’s lines on the table but i’m settling on the dab pen underneath the projector and it can be a joke sometimes, yet there’s a light that shines, a light that’s dimming there’s a lot of love in this here so why is it me to not break down when i felt like it was forever going? but there’s a line zig-zagging the Midwest yet i’m settling in the concrete land, the same as my dad did and it can be a joke sometimes, yet there’s a light that shines, a light that’s dimming so when saturday comes we can put a movie on talk until we’re under so when saturday comes we can put a movie on talk until we’re under so when saturday comes we can put a movie on talk until we’re under and it can be a joke sometimes, yet there’s a light that shines, a light there’s a lot of love in this house so why am i afraid of the ghosts in my peripheral there’s lines on the table but i’m settling on the dab pen underneath the projector

reading by the creek in my dirty laundry got enough sun, iron ore beneath me detached but still a part of me garden of stone, iron ore beneath me bird baths and figurines detached but still a part of me wordsmith, and music so detached yet go on reaping reading by the creek in my dirty laundry with a garden of stone, iron ore beneath me bird baths and figurines, detached yet part of me off the onward pathway onto a rough draft yesterday knots in my shoulder, another year older with a fabric of velvet iron ore beneath me, bird baths and figures, detached yet still part of me some do it for survival some do it for the weekend some do it for oblivion some do it for oblivion some do it for the weekend
