In the cage of my heart
There's a great haunting,
Cliche, tears me apart,
Stems from my wanting.

Desire for purpose,
Love, freedom, dire.
Every time I get close
My speech goes verbose,

For the ghost of my chest
Lies closer to hand
And I think this'd be best
In fantasy land.

In there I'm not nervous,
I'll show her who's boss
With lips that make "us,"
Beauty, Justice, Loss...

The crash, universal,
Never leaves my mind.
It's my one Eternal,
My heart it does bind.

So now I'm forced to wait,
Sad, nervous and blue;
I know that I'm not great,
But... well... hey... *******.

I don't need you bringing
My demons back up,
Now my ears are ringing--
****, gimme the cup!
