The creeping seize
Would have you believe
Everything they believe 
Just so you could be on their sleeve 
Reprimanded with a slap 
Because it’s wrong I don’t have a map 
And I know I should be grateful to them 
And hope that they would do it again 
If I was in such a bind 
And act like I do not mind 
They tied me to a tree and whipped my back 
And told me that my love is lack 
And I wonder if this is what Jesus felt, betrayed 
Lost in the silence and dismayed
Well, at least he had God 
I had peacekeepers with a rod 
Intent on killing the good in me 
With their idea of how it should be 
And it’s all matrimony 
And houses and babies 
I’m looking at the dogs and they’ve got rabies 
And there is mould on the ceiling 
There is death and there is reeling 
And there is a silent bargain you can’t break 
Or some kind of demon wake 
And eats what remains of me 
As I scream infinity 
Into its smokey breath 
But it only seems to whet 
It’s appetite 
And it would love to have me tonight 
In any sort of way 
I can see what you do not say 
And it’s not welcome here 
So just leave me be, my dear
