All the words in my mouth

that the scene deemed unworthy of letting out

banded together

To form a makeshift militia and burrowed bloodily through my tongue and my teeth.

I stood proud in the gallery

with my open socket of a mouth for them to see.

They all just laughed and said "That boy , he, that boy's got

woe.(woe.) He lives with woe.(woe.)"

And this girl who I met

whose pride makes her hard to forget,

She took pity on me (horizontally)

but most likely because of my band.(hey)

It's all I can get when I'm lonely

and these visions of death seem to own me

In the quiet of the classrooms all across the stacked United States of

Woe. We live with woe.

She said "I can't get laid in this town without these pointy fucking shoes.

My feet are so black and blue and so are you."

Please take me out of my body up through the palm trees to smell California in sweet

hypocrisy.

Floating. My senses surround my body.

I wake my nose to smell that ocean burn.

La da da la da da

So now I'm forging ahead past all the plutocrats who sold me out.

Go sob in your bed. If life is twice as pretty once your dead then send me a card.

I'm still the optimist though it is hard when all you want to be is in a dream

La da da la da da
