Episode 1: Little Star

"Little Star"

(dedicated to you)

there you are

my little star

blinking on and on

euphoric phenomenon

releasing me

from this fantasy

that i can't believe in

my demons are unwelcome

here this season

so tune in to the music

my friend, we're more than human

don't fret, it's just illusion

don't get caught up in confusion

no one knows

no, no one knows

even if they say they do

they're probably trying

to sell something to you

yeah, no one knows

seaside skyline

coming at you live

i fixate on the light

i softly shut my eyes

i see it from within

watch it fade to nothin'

unattached to all sensation

sight and sound

i'm nowhere bound

but what do i know

i know no one knows

even if you think you do

it might be just your mind

controlling you

yeah, no one knows

no, no one knows

no, no one knows no's nose

head shoulders

knees and toes.

Episode 2: He He He

"He He He"

(dedicated to @fakefan333)

passive agression

isn't a fair reaction

to implicit biases

my apologies

i have a tendency to

write people off if they

unwittingly mislabel me

idiosyncrasystematically

he he he

he is not me

you’ve got the wrong guy

no, he is not i

god in disguise

only fulfilling a role

until the body dies

no need for me to be an asshole

i am not defined

by these imaginary boundaries

just dissatisfied

with this arbitrary binary machi-

he he he, no

she is not me

you’ve got the wrong guy

no, she is not i

i am, i am, i am

i am, and that’s it

i am, i am, and this is

as is as it gets.

Episode 3: No Sense

"No Sense"

(dedicated to those i've let down)

it’s exhausting

simply existing

with people unable to be

on the off-beat

is where i find my peace

in between breath

living alongside death

work in progress

no sense in rushing

it’s a process

oh, oh

legerdemain

no, no

one-word refrain

maltodextrin

oil of turpentine

got defensive over

somethin’ never mine

a phonetic checklist

a shallow alibi

bland and ambiguous

disguised in/sincere design

got nothing to say and

so many ways to say it

been trying to see

the commonality

between you and me

but all i could find with

these widened eyes

is i’m gonna die

oh, oh

legerdemain

no, no

one-word refrain
