Why doctor G Do these stitches still bleed? The wound has no depth But a hole in the creed, That was once the goal Of thy shallow soul Gushes the blood Numbs the control. Why doctor O Does the grass not grow? That once stemmed the thought In which the seeds could be sewed, T’was once a marvelous tree Doctor O, doctor G. See the death in the spark Of the mind of the free. Why doctor D Is all attempt to achieve Thoughtless finite means In an infinite sea? Doctor G, doctor O, doctor D Don't you see? The blood will not flow, But the stitches still bleed. Shoot the sparks through thy heart, Doctors, count them three, Fill my lungs with the air Of this failed surgery Let the meter run flat Cease the breath, if you please, And remove from thy corpse The stitches in the tree I may pray to the three Once the coil is released That the grass  one day grows And the stitches not bleed.

Stitches
Why doctor G Do these stitches still bleed? The wound has no depth But a hole in the creed, That was once the goal Of thy shallow soul Gushes the blood Numbs the control. Why doctor O Does the grass not grow? That once stemmed the thought In which the seeds could be sewed, T’was once a marvelous tree Doctor O, doctor G. See the death in the spark Of the mind of the free. Why doctor D Is all attempt to achieve Thoughtless finite means In an infinite sea? Doctor G, doctor O, doctor D Don't you see? The blood will not flow, But the stitches still bleed. Shoot the sparks through thy heart, Doctors, count them three, Fill my lungs with the air Of this failed surgery Let the meter run flat Cease the breath, if you please, And remove from thy corpse The stitches in the tree I may pray to the three Once the coil is released That the grass  one day grows And the stitches not bleed.
