open eyes, and scream obscenities
clutch the packet of your remedies
beat blood back into extremeties
this is no good

tear yourself up from the floor
swear you won’t do this no more
hate yourself for asking for
–you know
–it’s in your blood

when it’s all inside your head
sun sets up your memory
Keeping up the demon stare
This decay of promiscuity
–let it go

you know

falling down
between the trees
doing what
the birds and bees do

never mind
and never mind
and never mind
and never

we live in a rolling past
and all that you know
the doors we shut at last
never really close

I deal with this in my way
you do in yours
we live in high-rise flats
on different floors

sit back, and admire
the carnage
that we built

and we’re going there
just one more time,
they’ll never never know
as long as there’s some guilt
