about

(Part of what will eventually be a series of songs dealing with the concept of judgment in the context of a disgustingly masculine collective consciousness. In other words, this will make more sense later on I guess.)

lyrics

You little rose petal puzzle piece
hanging perfectly aligned
with all the $14.99
little picture frames
and cellophane-wrapped indecision,
next to Made-in-China's little
'Home is Where the Heart is" sign.

When you fuck
and you fuck up
and you settle down,

And you drink
until your nerves amplify
honest sounds,

And when you're on your knees
swallowing Jesus
and honey's bees,

Does it taste
like compromise?

(Hollow faces stare)

Little bird in a a garden, are you happy with your life?
Little fragment of sunlight, is there passion in your life?

(Every night the woman hurries by and glances. In her eyes, a dead-end daughter coughs in flames, and silent fire answers the question:

Son, I'll never die, just wait and see.)
If you feel a heartbeat, let me know.

(I am more alive than you'll ever be.)
If you feel a heartbeat, let me know.

(I am beauty clawing at the seams.)
If you feel a heartbeat let me know.

(I am filled with horrors you've never seen.)
If you feel a heartbeat let me know.

(I am the crimson fog of a broken dream.)
If you feel a heartbeat
let me know.
