rhys langston - reflections for a fly-by-night lyrics

Loading...

next time i look in that mirror
the past should float off

wings cracked through my back
all debts wrote off

i want to embrace the “i”
while the arms wrap around “me”

direct objection to
a mind’s munic-p-l court fee

no more syntax for broken reason
hiding feelings

depression turned to self-abstraction
a par for the course of healing

though
stripped my politics by scr-w-ng them too tight

i found an insecure fixture obscuring
sense of right

(reflections for a fly-by-night)

————

oh to breathe slow as to open
these hinges gaslit, washed, frozen

but breaking clichés will not earn you tokens
you must learn that

————

next time i look in that mirror
the past should float off

but i’m a coward and maybe
i should f-ck off

to think a history can be
disembodied

that’s playing a self
pre-shuffled card hobby

you see, i was indebted
to a mind’s manufacture

and i’m a great factory worker
child of two actors

on the -ssembly line
my scrambled parts

compartmentalized actions
toward others’ hearts

(cope by hiding it in art)

————

my inner comment section
fed by these headlines

they vocalize as my other selves
line up for indicted crimes

heights in all

reflections for a fly-by-night

and i feel small
