I'm a little afraid
More like a pitiable wretch state of affairs
Fuck the transplants
Fuck all of you
Desperate melancholy attaches to him
Screaming in the waiting rooms
Harsh backbeat pity
Echoes though their disjointed minds
Isolated exasperated harsh rimmed cold cocked broom-maidens
Clean up his porcelain shades that smashed on their floor
Rope binded and stiff still dignity
Perfect face that's just as easy to break
Inner voices rocking back and forth silent chair on high wheels
A child again stiletto heeled-nightmares in cadence and
Somnambulistic memories through empty stale corridors
Restrain him again because he'll finish us all off
Demand me because you're afraid to die
And it's all for me that you have to live selfish bastard let him die
Time is up, clock shuts up and there's no noises
Anemic children poison blooded babies in dim resonance
He's afraid of them the sick the fat the hideously twisted shapes in lamps
And porcupine quills make up for dying flowers happy music plays on and on and on
And he's so sick; fluorescent paintings of the dim hallways
They're the only light way to his homeplace crawl back into bed
And forget about the grim steel-faced mediocrity that forgets you when you die
