The superficiality of
my world astounds me
holier than thou
you know you know
nobody understands me
my minds a twist and twine
nobody understands me
set me apart set me aside
tear me apart tear me a side
such a temptation such a temptress
you know you know
who are you to cause me stress?
now even after you know
I tumble through words
roll and fumble books on the brain
they ease the joy tame the pain
you know you know
nobody understands me
I'm a scream I'm a shock
cold water on a hot day
when you sleep when you wake
give me a tail give me a tale
something great something good
'twas just an escape an exit
somewhere I can rest
from the fearing and the tearing
the crunchy smunchy staring
like a dog shown a card trick
like a cat treading broken glass
like a mouse on a wire on fire
you never saw me I wasn't here
bearing my soul telling all
all lies all lies
all rise for the judge
who am I? what do I want?
you know you know
nobody understands me
but the white wig big wig
black coat black frown
dark omen dark stares
how they gawk how they gape
"How could he?" they say
I never I never I couldn't
she always came onto me
looking that way this way
but the big wig white wig
nobody understands me
the chitter chatter nitter natter
the white noise the loud voice
always gets to me out to get me
I didn't deserve such
she didn't deserve such
"you the accused" accused me?
excuse me?
You don't understand
superficial
staring glaring how they gloat
"another weak one a lone wolf
we shall ogle we shall quiz
stand aghast peer penetrate
expose him depose him
have him our way
served on a silver platter
meat and batter"
I can see the shiny whites
whiney shites glitter teeth
they eye me
distastefully tasty me
She eyed me goggle eyed
I never I never I couldn't
"you're not a man"
"an animal" those wolfish whites
glinting down at me right
"It's a crime" can't they see?
It would be a crime not to have
but I didn't I never I couldn't
That pig that cop keeps looking my way
don't think I don't see you
watching me watching you
her blood a crime?
It's not like she never bled before
I enhanced the experience
but I couldn't didn't never
They want to eat me
eat me alive
But they won't understand
I'm too peppery did too much wrong
no right I'm right
killing me surely condones my crime
I didn't commit, ha,
that's what she said
I didn't kill i never
I can't be bothered to finish
