lyrics

I was always told I could be anything I want to be
So I'll be...
yes I'll be, I'll be anything, anything
Soon

My permanent punctuation on this earth is cursed
Will I be the fertile lily in chimney seeking sun’s sights?
With new lows at great height
My life needs meaning
And my life needs meaning...

And some kind of stressed impact with less of a strife filled marker; staged hot pink
Splashed Indian ink on face
The taste, the taste, the taste is a wait worth fading
and the great, the great, the great, make, and make, and make

And I was a cat in fashion cloaked in a possible ratio from claw to face
Stereo’s bumping tracks I then say that I’ll match in fury and attitude
While I rip the callus caught on my palms; tearing flesh
Sprinkling pieces of my dead skin in remembrance
Feeling as though I’ll be remembered then

I just need a history then you can kill me in my head again
Free verse is absurd if you don’t fucking mean it
Fuck your jeans poem
Leave “I’s” out my life
Think only in “me’s;” that’s fucking genius

Screaming Bach syndrome ‘til the cows come home is not a life worth leading
I want to be praised while breathing
I want to bathe in freedom
Freedom from myself needing freedom from something else
Needing “meaning”; something not held in the hands of those needing feeding

Now my life is depleting
and my plight isn't leaving
and my throat is fucking bleeding because I haven’t been speaking

My life is depleting
and my plight isn't leaving
and my throat is fucking bleeding because I haven’t been speaking

Participate and observe,
Participate and observe,
Participate and observe,
There’s so much work

Participate and observe,
Participate and observe,
Participate and observe,
There’s so much work
Soon

I heard about you and the word is that you died, died
In your mind
You can't find the time to feel alive
just stay alive

The pretty kids can't say shit
the gifted tongues ask for nothing

The pretty kids can't say shit
and the gifted tongues ask for nothing

The royal kids cant say shit
the gifted tongues ask for nothing
soon...
