Sleeping Lessons

Lyrics

Go without 'til the need seeps in your love anymore
Collect your novel petals for the stem
And glow, glow, melt and flow
Eviscerate your fragile frame and spill it out on the ragged floor
A thousand different versions of yourself
And if the old guards still offend
They got nothing left on which you depend
So enlist every ounce of your bright blood
And off with their heads
Jump from the hook
You're not obliged to swallow anything you despise
See, those unrepenting buzzards want your life
And they got no right
As sure as you have eyes
They got no right
Just put yourself in my new shoes
And see that I do what I do
Because the old guards still offend (petty guards and shiny hands)
They got nothing left on which we depend
So enlist every ounce of your bright blood
And off with their heads
Jump from the hook
You're not obliged to swallow anything you despise, you despise, you despise, you despise, you despise
