What does one do when the inspiration is merely sensory? |
|
A mind set fast on satisfaction, a heart riddled by uncertainty |
|
I found myself befuddled by the tragic rapture of reverie |
|
Teacher, isn't this straddling lesson a tiny bit extreme? |
|
I need an ear |
|
But you bring your gavel along |
|
I need calm, I need silence, forgiving eyelids, and arms that I can fall into |
|
I need an ear |
|
And you call yourselves open-minded |
|
And you claim that you're quite tolerant |
|
And you pride yourselves as anti-superficial |
|
But what are these whispers I hear behind my back? |
|
I threw back the glass not once but five times, destroying the cells of misery |
|
I laughed and smiled the whole night long and never once did I feel guilty |
|
Walk and walk and walk and walk and talk and talk and talk and talk - that's all I ever want to do anymore |
|
Shot up the classroom, raped in the bathroom, but can't find love? Life's a whore |
|
I need an ear |
|
But you bring your gavel along |
|
I need calm, I need silence, forgiving eyelids, and arms that I can fall into |
|
I need an ear |
