|
I heap on feint praise |
|
That's never getting stronger |
|
No matter how much shit I throw |
|
For it is flawed and dangerous |
|
Hollow ringing in my ears |
|
And the bitter aftertaste, like rust |
|
I make the nice, and sidestep |
|
Anything to dance around a fight |
|
I need to say it aloud |
|
That life is short |
|
And days filled |
|
With rictus smiles |
|
Are wasted, and bring |
|
Dishonour on this house |
|
You must never squeeze |
|
The teabag |
|
Leave it alone |
|
What did it ever do to you? |
|
Trying to be al things to all men |
|
You end up being none |
|
So no more hand wringing |
|
No more anything for an easy life |
|
Call it when I see wrong |
|
So when I am done and wheezing |
|
On my last bed |
|
I won't wish I'd done |
|
Something else instead |
