Presence Presents


charm eyed stare down honey I see you shrinking did you know drunk men aren’t always drinking? no more vigor today they’ve caged the lion and buzzed his mane You’ve trapped the noun you cast around within that phantoms’ mouth brainwash backwash time untold pretty princes pose now in place of paragons while the tongue usurps your voice reciting prehistoric roles well embrace your whole, Mother of The World men, admit your broken heads to the Soul reframe the nameless truth we’ve stained and unwind, the passage of time and the tightening mind grip hold oh what do we know? under the influence of the ego? oh what don’t we know? in the presence of our own wise counsel? stained glass eyes can only perceive so who has faith in hues unseen? humankind was born to bleed should sanguine blues define misery? restless minds will never be free light hearted life, take leave of Darwin’s Tree Presence Presents premonition reminiscence reminiscent premonitions you’ll never get another like this
