Exit Wounds

The sky is full of exit wounds of light tonight

Silly child, it's your dime

On the table butt dial mai tai

Plastic eyes, dirty socks

A daytime drug for throwing rocks

Rebellion of joy

For you a leash, for me a toy

No regrets

This could have been your best birth, film, death

If you don't know what it's for

Open up then open up some more

One more thing discovered

By a cruel and jealous lover

Who needs to win

Who needs to bother

To discover some other

One day you will wake and mistake these walls for skin

As soon as you concede

Childhood breaks at the link

Spitting teeth in reverse

First one in is never first

Fingerpainting on her dress

Naked when you pull the thread

One more cigarette

This has to be your best birth, film, death

If you don't know what it's for

Open up then open up some more

One more thing discovered

By a cruel and jealous lover

Who needs to win

Who needs to bother

To discover some other

The sky is full of exit wounds of light

Tonight
