Carnation - Jordan Rakei

My memory told me a secret

A breath of its last cigarette

A smokey haze, a scene was set

To question my own interest

My conditioning was fighting now

No butts were asked, so when and how

The settled dust vibrated out

The necessary walk about

My hat bears shade upon my face

The moon creeping my distant gaze

My soul begins an endless chase

To trap the memory in the maze

I held it tight up by the neck

And rose my arms, it’s dangling legs

The wind whispered one final check

Dead it lies at peace, at rest

Capsules will sink before they swim, inform your next of kin

Capsules will sink before they swim, inform your next of kin

On board the ship to manic state

The pill was stored within the freight

She aimed to score but fairly late

She missed the shot, such is to take

I saw she wanted temporary

Guarded it as complementary

Disused all my commentary

Trapped by her own memory

Capsules will sink before they swim, inform your next of kin

Capsules will sink before they swim, inform your next of kin

Capsules will sink before they swim, inform your next of kin

Capsules will sink before they swim, inform your next of kin

It’s taking a hold of me

Oh with my hands tied

It’s taking a hold of me

Oh with my hands tied
