It was you, whom fused, alight
With excuses and polluted lungs
Earthbound, tossing yourself through
Chest
Armpits
Selling yourself thin in a sound stream
Mythologizing your pain
On a stained mattress, switching positions
Fucking hypocrite
Fucking hypocrite
Blaming myself for the way I live
Curiously riding a burning chariot
By swathes of unforgiving votaries
Through thoroughfares, through reveries
Poppy seeds in barrels
And the earthy scent of rhubarb
And the earthy scent of man
I think pleasure is a relic
A sun eclipsed
Masochistic loneliness, it scares me
The lull and the cacophony
When time escapes my hands, I get discursive
I am a missile in the shadows
Genuflecting zealot
Each toothache is onerous
Glittering with false gratitude
Reminding me of the afterglow
Buried beneath an eternal song
It was you, whom fused, alight
With excuses and polluted lungs
Earthbound, tossing yourself through
Chest
Armpits
Selling yourself thin in a sound stream
Mythologizing your pain
On a stained mattress, switching positions
Fucking hypocrite
Fucking hypocrite.
