Stevie: I wanna say one thing, because I have it here and I want to get it out of the way, I don't want to forget to do it before we hang up. I would've thought that you would've written more like me, and now I don't know if you or George wrote this part, but I'm just gonna read you something that makes me think that you would take your formal poems. But also there's a line in this that's one of the reasons that I totally fell in love with your lyrics, because… Anyway, I'm just gonna read this to you, okay? So it says, ​"She's inducing sleep to avoid pain/​And I think she's got a gun /​Divinely decreed and custom made /​She calls on the phone like the old days, expecting the world /​Don't fall in love with the moment and think you're in love with the girl". I think that ​"Don't fall in love with the moment and think you're in love with the girl," first of all, that's just like my life, right? Matty: Yeah, right? Stevie: That made me… The way that these words are, I would think that you actually started with words and that you didn't start with music. Between you and George, and I don't know where you begin and he ends because you know, I understand that symbiotic thing that you guys have. Unless you tell them, nobody's ever gonna know, but the fact is that your lyrics are – and I don't even wanna say lyrics, your poetry is like, so good and so seductive and so intriguing. I mean there's all kinds of great sexy words I could use, but it's like… I just love it.

I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately... I wanted to live deep and suck all the marrow out of life! To put to rout.. all that was not life, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. - Henry David Thoreau

Rainbow.
The rainbow is 
God’s promise
That we will not be destroyed
No wave of terror
Swallowing all of us before our very eyes.
.
I think of this,
God's promise
In the wake of another hateful act
My beloved and I holding each other tightly
Saying I Love You I Love You I Love You
God Help Us God Help Us
Repetition gets Your attention
At least so my study Bible says
.
I look for
God's Promise
In the spray of the road
In windows
On cars and clothes
And the sky
To see the bow hung up
To see signs of safety
.
We hang flags and
God's promise
At every door post
On our bodies
Like the blood of the Lamb
Angel, Pass over us
Beloved
There is sanctuary here
.
I am holding to
God's Promise
Gripping at the colors that symbolize
The wholeness of me 
And I plead:
Hear Your grieving children, God
Do not destroy us
Do not let us be destroyed
Amen, Amen, Amen.

"The poetry aspect is the fact that the music does come first, but it's about, I suppose, that I write what I see and I write what I hear a lot. So I tend to be somewhere and voyeuristically overhear something and I'll write it down. I write down a lot of concepts, I write down a lot of stuff that doesn't rhyme. The biggest moment that I've had with that is, we have this song called Love It If We Made It, which has kind of become I suppose our biggest song, it's our big kind of political moment. It talks about everything that was kind of messed up in the world from 2018 onwards. There's kind of references to this and references to Trump. I remember having this moment in the song where the lyrics, the melody had to go bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah-bah, 1 – 2‑3 – 4‑5 – 6‑7, and I needed seven syllables. So I was thinking, what are these powerful syllables? What are seven syllables that really reach the time? And then I found Donald Trump's quote of, ​'I moved on her like a bitch.' And I just screamed, I moved on her like a bitch! And that is the synthesis that I'm always searching, finding… It's like painting by numbers but not making it rudimentary, do you know what I mean? I need to let the music inspire the poetry and then make musical poetry around it. That's kind of what I do."

IAMUURME
The walls are closing in upon my expectations
like fogbanks assaulting the windows, dripping
their message down the panes in streaks of wet
delineation, erasing the lines between inside and
out, day and night, you and I and all the minutes
spent within the space of ourselves overlapping

tales of entombed
"Deep in the caves there's a lady stone-cold Who tells only secrets and stories untold And if you despair, listen if you dare To tales of watchers, of fools and gold." - The Lady's Lullaby
some are brave enough to heed the age-old lullaby. they descend into the deep and the dark, to where only a silent silver statue awaits them. no matter where they delve, they will find her eventually. and once they do, nothing will ever be quite the same.
she pulls them into her endless tales of lives long-gone. dream with me, she says without saying. dream of starry eyes, of the blood-red life, of a rift that will only spell destruction.
take her hand, she says. sit and listen. and now you have no choice but to hear, and to join her dreams until your lives run out. she cares for you. she is not lying.
and when that time comes, she will take your hand one more time, and she will guide you through where no light ever reaches. but when she returns, well...
your life is only ever one more story to tell.

Conversations with god
I am ten years old
my parents left me home alone
only for a short while but still
alone in a not-quite-home of a house
I go into their bedroom
it was always off limits
I crawl into their bed and feel so so small
insignificant
I kneel at the end of their bed
my hands clasp in a desperate prayer
sobbing begging to be stricken down
pleading to anyone who heard
my prayer unanswered I curl into a ball
right onto the slick wooden floor
and cry for my mommy
my parents found me sitting on the couch
right where they left me
as always the well behaved easy kid
knowing their love was conditional
I am twelve years old
I sneak out of bed at four am
I go to the bathroom, close the door behind me
hunch over the sink
why am I like this?
I stare in the mirror
as tears streak down my face
why can't I change no matter how hard I try
please
I scream out
please fix me
I beg to anyone who will listen
please make me whole make me right again
there is no answer
just my own face that I barely recognize
staring blankly back at me
I go back to bed
I woke up the next morning wondering why I did
I am fourteen years old
I didn't think to look how much it would take
I simply take as many as I can
I'm laying on my bedroom floor
the carpet scratches my face painfully
but I find I can't move more than a finger twitch
my vision starts to blacken like curtains closing
the music I put on goes in and out
I send my last thoughts to the universe
to anyone who will listen
please let me pass peacefully
into whatever may be next
I woke up two days later
still on my bedroom floor
I went downstairs and drank water
more parched than I had ever been
my mother laughed when she saw me
said I looked like shit
and she was glad I wasn't dead up there
what an inconvenience that would be
I am sixteen years old
I stay inside all day for months
everyone does it's a pandemic
I don't talk to my friends
I know they all think I'm annoying
they're happier without me
no one tried to reach out
no one asked me how I am
my teachers don't notice I sleep through class
and stay up all night long
one night I'm alone- always a dangerous thing
I think that tonight is my last night
I cook a nice dinner and watch my favorite show
I take a shower and a bubble bath
I make my bed, to finally lie down and rest
I make sure my rat is fed, extra food too
in case it takes long for them to notice
I give him treats and pets, I will miss him greatly
I write my note and take far more than last time
I thought I learned my lesson
I tuck myself into bed one final time
it's more violent this time
I feel like I'm floating and drowning and burning
all at once
I have no final thoughts this time
I woke up the next day
vomit already crusting on my blankets
"thank god you were on your side"
is all that mother said to me
when she caught me cleaning up
"thank god" I scoffed
as if that prick had helped before
as if any god would ever listen to me
I am eighteen years old
I step into a church for the first time
in what feels like lifetimes
for a school project on new experiences
I sit with an old friend in a pew towards the back
and try to feel the embrace of god
or anything really
the most I felt was mild discomfort
and a nosebleed in the bathroom
some might say that's an omen
that I'm of the devil
that there's something unholy in me
that needs to be purged or cleansed
maybe they're right
but I decided to stop praying that day
no more free for all calls to the universe
I was tired of the crippling loneliness
that came with unanswered calls
if no one would pick up I had to rely on myself
the only one talking back to me
in these conversations with god

Sometimes I play with the young, And sometimes I grant rest to the old, But sometimes it's the other way around, And I cry tears in the arms of my lover cold.
