Sleeping Lessons

Go

Without

'Till the need seeps in

Ya low animal

Collect your novel petals

For the stem

And glow

Glow

Melt and flow

Eviscerate your fragile frame

Spill it out on the ragged floor

A thousand different versions of yourself

And if the old guard still offend

They got nothin' left

On which you depend

So enlist every ounce

Of your bright blood

And off with their heads

Jump from the hook

You're not obliged

To swallow anything you despise

See those un-repenting buzzards

Want your life

And they got no right

As sure as you have eyes

They've got no right

Just put yourself

In my new shoes

And see that I

Do what I do

Because the old guard

Still offends (Their pudgy hearts)

(And slimy hands)

They got nothin' left

On which we depend

So enlist every ounce

Of your bright blood

And off with their heads

Jump from the hook

You're not obliged

To swallow anything you despise

That you despise

That you despise

(That you despise)
