Pretty White Lies

DEAD BIRD

Cat swapped your tongue for a dead little bird
you were in bed; she was purring on your chest
She put in clean stitches with thread pulled from a sock
the morbid little scene put us all on edge

you try to push air into the shapes of words
poor little bird just flits n jerks
You still seem vaguely vital but your face is a dead mess
with limping, thumping thoughts on the roof of your mouth

now your every dumb grievance is beyond redress x3
You’ve a dead bird in your mouth and you look a damned fright

Scrappy little tabby with a swollen god complex
Scratches her initials into everything she touches
Sprinkled seeds across your glossa and she put it in the garden
Leave it where it is cuz it’s never gonna work again

Now your every dumb thought that you’ve ever had
Rolls around inside your head & it's never gonna let up
Now you’re every dumb thought that you’ve ever had
Locked inside yourself & you’ll never be whole again

And your every dumb grievance is beyond redress x3
You’ve a dead bird for a tongue & that’s just what it sounds like

Stay Gold

I place no faith at all in experts or authority
Don't ask me to believe in their infallibility
Cause I'll say no
No
All I can ever know are things as they appear to me
I eschew absolutes and scoff at all your certainty
It's gotta go
Go

They'll tell you lies and then
They'll tell you lies again
They'll tell you lies and then
They'll sell you your own misery
They'll steal your mind and then
They'll own you life and limb
They'll string you right along
And tell you freedom's slavery
They'll say it's actual
They'll say it's factual
They'll say it's natural

Religious, scientific and political realities
Literal minds clinging to realist philosophies
But they don't know
Don't know
Don't need their structures of se;f-appointed hierarchy
Our evolution stunted by the shackles of their authority
We gotta grow
Grow

Take nobody's word
Take nobody's word for it
