You left without any closure So the wound stood open Festering in it’s own filth The pain severed the synapse The rot ransack the body And the trauma snapped the Stem Fortunately, it won’t affect you Just me, and everyone like me For those whose hearts are too big Well I say, we were ready to fly anyways Ready to leave the nest But not ready for the suffering you spread No, you left us for dead Like the rest, Living waste We kept away from the swig Learned from what we could see It’s Us you never knew You’re just a flightless hen, Truly a nobody, And we’ll enjoy watching the collapse We grew our own tilth With our own Son I just hate having to call you father

Fight or Flight
You left without any closure So the wound stood open Festering in it’s own filth The pain severed the synapse The rot ransack the body And the trauma snapped the Stem Fortunately, it won’t affect you Just me, and everyone like me For those whose hearts are too big Well I say, we were ready to fly anyways Ready to leave the nest But not ready for the suffering you spread No, you left us for dead Like the rest, Living waste We kept away from the swig Learned from what we could see It’s Us you never knew You’re just a flightless hen, Truly a nobody, And we’ll enjoy watching the collapse We grew our own tilth With our own Son I just hate having to call you father
