'silver tongue', you say
frightful compliment
birth's performance anxiety
rather than a swelling
of the head

today though, this very moment

this tongue's gut stung
by a full vial of anaesthetic
come back tomorrow
perhaps then we shall
see a better show*

I don't,
I don't,
I swear,
I don't.

To feel,
To hope,
I swear,
I don't.

Empty,
I am,
I swear,
I am.

To feel,
To hope,
I swear,
I don't.

I don't,
I don't,
I'm sure,
I don't.

I don't,
No,
I don't.

Feel,
For you;
I swear,
*I don't.

I burn myself enough just to lure,
but I'm wasted here.
No one ever stops to warm themselves,
they only add to the fuel.
