Hide
Your tongue
Denied, expunged
Lying
Around
In a void, with a smile
The problem wouldn’t happen if you said
What you really meant
It’s really circular before all of the politicking
It’s probably not a promise
But a drug, that’s an insult game
You bring me purpose, meaning, bagels, chicken dinner, brains
To teach a person living as a butt
That’s your mania
Bringing your attention to the scab inside your cranium
Wiping all the crud from under eyes that have been shut for years
Is it holy water is it cum or crocodile tears
Now that I watch out for myself
I can begin to see the patterns prevail
I fear the world can hear the thoughts in my head
I fear that everything might start to make sense
The stupid particles that stick to my hands
Are making nature smell like batteries
I swear there’s got to be a grotto out there
Where people don’t remember shit but your face
And all the innocents are linking their hands
And all the prisoners are licking their plates
I wish that miracles could wipe me away
I hope that Jesus understands my mistakes
I’ll get a job that makes me into a man
Become the thing I was designed to replace
To sip the poison and to call it a show
The naked promise that a liar can make
The understanding that a contract is gold
The very contract I had sworn not to break
Too many icons, big ideas and drugs
The answer’s never what you want it to be
The bitter, battle scarred and ugly are stuck
I’m feeling tricky with the thing I call free
