Nothing

From no one,

Never needed anything

But

I get the feeling I was 

Blessed by a black hole,

I use to think 

It was about the distances

Now I can’t make 

No sense of it

Noise Broadcasting

Constantly 

Trying to erase who I am,

What I built up

Now burnt down

They applaud this

They encourage it

They dishearten me 

—And those like me

They worry themselves about how I am

Who I am

What I stand for

And I’m tired yall.

I never needed anything

“Nothing from no one”

That’s what they gave me

So that’s what I got. 

Just heartache and Hors D'oeuvres

And it ain’t got anything to do with

What we deserve

It’s just the way it is,

Cattle calls and the cola fizz flattened

Dog whistles that split the atom

I can name shit that shouldn’ta happened 

But you’ll just shrug in that shapely satin,

Satan waits, darlin’

Our co pilot and captain
