Machinery Parts

Being broken by her 
It’s the story of what we were
Til I realised that I had to get up off my knees
And be the cure to my own disease
And it was distasteful and it was crude
And there are parts where they call me rude
When I try to express how I feel
And all this “psychosis” is real
I just pretend it’s not
When the seat gets hot
And I’m sitting in a beanbag in Dean Swift
And even those days were a gift
As I listened to Marina and the Diamonds
On a CD player in the meditation room
And the bells of doom
Only reach me half of the time
The rest of it I’m sucking a lime
And crumpling up my face
Like all the Barry that went to waste
When he tried to lead me down the garden path
Like he knows nothing of the god of wrath
And it’s doubtful if I will ever see him again
And he would not be my first choice in men
As he speaks a double innuendo
And I wonder what he defend though
When he grins and snickers
I blink and the candlelight flickers
And it wrong if I think St. Pat’s can be fun
When everyone’s treating me like I am the one
It all circles round
And every sound
Echoes cymbals
And the vandals
Can’t tear down my peace of mind
It happens when I succumb to the grind
And allow them to medicate
Me like I’m a girl on a blind date
As though there is no telling what these pills will do
They assure me; they will help you
But I’m already epic, do you want me less so
I dunno
I know they think I’m crazy, sorry, “unwell”
I have half a mind to tell them all to go to hell
With their what have you’s and plurality
Do they even know what walks the skin of me
I don’t think so though maybe some suspect
I can tell when the veil is wrecked
And someone just reaches through
To hold my hand and say “I love you”
Or just trip into my chair
Hey Emmett, I’m glad you were there
