The stronger you are,
the more poison you can take.
It's the only way.

A spine bowed under
the ordeals of a wage slave.
It's the only way.

Picking the cherries
and popping them carelessly.
It's the only way.

Maudlin or merry,
dash sentimentality.
It's the only way.

Songs of our fathers
died in their skeleton mouths.
It's the only way.

******* of our mothers
died in ours, poured their milk out.
It's the only way.

Just a little blood
satiates the cravings now.
It's the only way.

Came to know myself,
realized my fate points down.
It's the only way.
