Sleeping Lessons

[Reality101]

Beautiful. Brilliant. Gives me chills every time.

​

Go without,
'Til the need seeps in,
You low animal,
Collect your novel petals for the stem,

Glow,
Glow,
Melt and flow,
Eviscerate your fragile frame,
Spill it out on the ragged floor,
The thousand different versions of yourself,

And if the old guards still offend,
They got nothing 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,
That you despise,
See, those unrepentant buzzards want your life,
And they got no right,
As sure as you have eyes,
Yea they got no right,

Just put yourself in my new shoes,
And see that I do what I do,
Because the old guards still offend,
We got nothing left on which we depend,
So we enlist every ounce,
Of your bright blood,
And off with their heads,

Jump from the hook,
You're not obliged to swallow anything,
That you despise,

Glow,
Glow,
Melt and flow,
Eviscerate your fragile frame,
Spill it out on the ragged floor,
The thousand different versions of yourself,

And if the old guards still offend,
They got nothing 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,
That you despise,
That you despise,
That you despise,
That you despise.
