Call yourself a hedonist. I do not give a **** You are dark-eyed And lonely, Just like me. Wandering like a doe in The Library, Walk me through The Meadows, Lie with each other again and in Our mutual distance assure each other What we both know to be true; the wall The great plastic Man O War between us, Us and the others, us and the grass, The empty streets, you tear empathy From me, me from strangers, And the both of us lonely, Foresaken, patiently awaiting Our fate’s decree. Call me tolerant, I hate you like an animal.

Man o War
Call yourself a hedonist. I do not give a **** You are dark-eyed And lonely, Just like me. Wandering like a doe in The Library, Walk me through The Meadows, Lie with each other again and in Our mutual distance assure each other What we both know to be true; the wall The great plastic Man O War between us, Us and the others, us and the grass, The empty streets, you tear empathy From me, me from strangers, And the both of us lonely, Foresaken, patiently awaiting Our fate’s decree. Call me tolerant, I hate you like an animal.
