Stuck in Orbit

from Collection 1 by Earthbook

lyrics

Some things will always interrupt. Nothing is solid enough to take a punch or withstand the rush that time puts on us. i can't keep up. Clocks hands move too much. I grind my teeth to the gums. I don't know stable or steady. I'll never be ready to look down to my body and accept that I'm done trying, though I never seem to get past just the planning. I'm chewed gum under the table during lunch, a new rusty gun, a barrel full of throat launched laughs and delirium fun. I'm just dust; insignificant enough, roulette lust, stale pizza crust.

Clocks, they hold too much power. The second hand is spinning a hundred miles an hour. Somethings never become clearer even after being focused on for years. The ground is full my mouth is wet, Kentucky poison dripping from my lips. Brain sloshing in my head. Take your time. Grasp the things you leave unsaid.

When we were kids we had leather skin, titanium bones, organs made of stone.
