lyrics

You shook the dust out of my bones
Stood me up and told me keep on moving
It gets better a few steps further
You brought me back to the lands of freer thinking
Brought me your wine and made me keep on drinking
and spent the night squeezing the banality out of my head
You watched my hands while I was pulling my teeth out
and smiled and cut my nails down so far, they never grew back
I was dragged by the dick | to the edge of the forest of fucking and told never to enter
I was gagged on the grounds of sobriety and told to swallow and be grateful for what I had
I was exposed to my own kind and learned never to trust a single thing I ever heard
My fucking knuckles were busted I learned never to speak out, a single fucking word
I returned to the beautiful unknown, unfollowed, terrified and took my last breath
In the river
I woke as an adolescent with no answers
and a hazy synopsis of a fading childhood
and the dreams I've had terrify me
we are brought up to be ashamed of not being perfect
we are manufactured, jealous, anxious, hateful, ungrateful, greedy fucking cunts
aren't we?
