Replacements
replace my love
with an emoji
replace your hug
with something shiny
replace a kiss
with animation lips
Replace my skin
With hashtaged movements
We replaced us
real life is made up
edited Replicas
all replaced ya
replace my tongue
with a group chat
replace my dog
with a viral cat
replace a protest
with selfies and page hits
replace a corporate vulture
slaves all chained to popular culture
we replaced
a pretty face

UnitedStatesofSoCal
golf courses
polo horses
tennis gardens
expensive
sun sets
car dealerships
skeletons
on vacay they
stroll down highway
an old man
with a sick tan
under the sun
burns through his cash
super fast
just for fun
a Mosquito smoking a cigar on the patio
i asked him for directions to the casino
just looked at me and gave out a wink
i think I finally get what he means
The United States of Southern California
perfect rolls of palm trees like your vegan lasagna
people in facemasks give each other high fives
can’t tell if it’s hotter in here or outside
The United States of Southern California
the light pollution makes the sky look cool huh?

WeOk
sleeping in next to you
frozen in the afternoon
we float in the milky way
The world on fire but we ok
just wanna stay in bed
just wanna live in my head
just wanna stare out and binge
just wanna forget
next to you just sleeping in
ignore the notification
put my phone on silent
put you on repeat and I listen again
we float on the milky way
the world on fire but we ok
just wanna close my eyes
just wanna turn my head
just wanna wave goodbye
just waiting for the end

iWish
i wish you would just trust me
i wish we could swipe away ugly
i wish you were always around
i wish i got out of this town
i wish We had a great king
to live out his great king fantasies
i wish it wasn’t like this
i wish it wasn’t but it is
isn’t it funny how it goes down?
didn’t wish for you but i’ve got you now
isn’t it funny how it all happens?
wish for a new start at the end
i wish you saw what i see
i wish you’d break up with TV
i wish i knew what i know
i wish we could just come and go
i wish it wasn’t like this
i wish it wasn’t but it is
i wish i
could be more like ya
i wish we
had more tequila
i wish You
weren’t so far away
i wish we
had just one more day
i wish we
had more tequila
i wish i
was more like ya

WithU
when i’m with you
i don’t read the news
stories that the birdies tweet
disappear under our feet
comin up
is our stop
but when the world ends
We’ll get off
when i’m with you
i know i should care
but when i’m with you
the headlines disappear
with you

SystemRestart
the cup is clean but the water is poisoned
We pass a drink to the next generation
‘cause this new paint job only covers the top
hidden underneath what slowly rots
hand me downs with a bloodstained pocket
tell the next wearer that’s just how they designed it
our country’s past visits us with a noose
tells American pride, “hey you know what to do”
Police Beatings in HD
how funny-the ugly thing
carried on all our screens
it’s our own past-and it’s repeating
Killer Cop badge shining under the sun
while we get loaded as his bulging gun
body cam footage leaks and goes viral
We the people a downward spiral
the protesters cry out loud
the tear gas lullaby’s the crowd
the people all spill a top
then the system restarts or it stops
handcuffed in custody
death by kneeling
how ugly-the funny thing
it’s our own past- repeating
