Poetry is a disease
Words sit in your gut like rotten meat
You hold onto your stomach for dear life
'Cos it's full of knives
There's no choice but to stick your pen down your throat
And bring it all up
Yeah, poets can't tie knots
And they don't own a pistol
And all that venom just stifles and stinks
But you can close the book
And close your eyes
Ready to hate yourself tomorrow
