Do you ever want to spit your own tongue out Apologize to God for using it as a sword to slit your own throat after absent-mindedly digging into the hearts of others with your words Do you ever want to shove your brain into a suitcase and "accidentally" leave it on a train headed for the bottom of the sea Because you don't know how to use the thoughts that have grown from your own brain stem Are you ever allergic to yourself? Do you sneeze as you sniff your own stupidity? Do you want to soak in a bathtub full of forgiveness Wash yourself with the soap of solitude (re-surface your skull) Well I need to remember that nobody is perfect And that I shouldn't hate myself But all of me has self-destructed for existing How do you stuff a pipe cleaner into a soul How to come back from that How to clean out the inside of a straw How to yank open a locked-jaw and leave it gaping in order to be filled with the endless love mercy acceptance Offered by the Person who has created me into more than I could have ever been by my-- self.
