Never Trust A Venomous Tongue

The Earth

I can feel her ash dance across my skin

We’re all suffocating.

Breathing in our rash decisions

Temporary healing with desensitize destruction

Blunt force trauma

We have ruptured.

Our fear spewing turmoil

Ignorance vomiting toxic waste but we eat it up…

We eat it up

We love the sweet taste of selfishness

This self-absorbed meaning of existence

We have built up our own consequences

Our fall back in fairy tales

And I’ll tell you,

Never trust a venomous tongue

The dirt is soft

That sensational feeling

So electrifying

The feeling of home that shoots through your veins

The smell of morning dew

Like fresh cut grass after a rainy day

Home…

Freshly picked wheat grinding between your teeth

The sweet rhythm of the waves crashing beneath your feet

The vibration of the wind as we glide our hands through the sky on a sunset summer day enjoying a dirt road car ride

The magic when you tried to look beyond the moon while the crickets sing and the locus screamed too,

Never trust a venomous tongue

The Earth

Breath that in

Toxic vibration pulsing beneath your skin

Your suffocating on your own virus

Do you see how pretty that ash is dancing across your skin

You're suffocating on your own consequences for believing in meaningless words from a venomous tongue when a life is at stake.

And were all still sitting here foolishly

Drinking up our own toxic waste

We drink it up, We drink it up

While species are evaporating from existence

We heal ourselves with blunt force trauma

Immobilized in our self-destruction

We are suffocating on our own comprehension

We sit here foolishly drinking up our own toxic waste

We drink it up, We drink it up

Breathing in our rash decisions

Temporarily healing with desensitized destruction And we love the taste of selfishness

We drink it up

Never trust a venomous tongue
