Coral Snake

You swear you see five times ahead
And for that you deserve the meat in your mouth
And your home ground and every war you impel
But your colors aren't true even for yourself

No one sees you here so you can't be stopped
You can't be dogded and then you know your time
Downright of the weight of your will and lies

But you were not let in willingly
You just broke yourself in through misery
Like a devil watching a moment of doubt
A coral snake waiting to take a life at a bound

When you fell from your liquid sky
Your cloud nine said a lot about what you're not
And you never thought you could be drained like this
But part of you is poison and the other doesn't exist

Low and distorted, you still can't be stopped
As you suck the light and crawl through your fog
Though you're never a damn inch closer to god

It's not like we can't hear each other
Through air shifts of our every move
And now I know better all your ends
And if you don't know consequence
Then I'll bring it to you

Only welcome when not seen
Only left in when not heard
Only allowed when not seeked

Basalt

I'll stay long enough to watch it burn
So much 'til my skin melt beneath the sun
And you can only hold me for so long

I knew hope and fury when they were in hands
Couldn't let it quench and dissolve up in the sky
And right there I still expected truths turn back to lies

There's no chance or choice or amnesty
I cannot lie levity, I'm unchained and in great ablaze
And no belied grace could be this overwhelming
Chaos dwells until I'll be pure basalt

I'll stay long enough to watch it fall
So far to know how fast it'll hit and crawl
And no one will break it in the sake of rue

If there's a truth boiling down below
It's easy to know because it's just who we are
And not who the wind would simply blow for too far
