By naked nerves This pride was to be hung Out to dry in the sunlight Where life began Outside this god forsaken shell That tv mama sung into This eager child's willing ear Pride was a blanket yet to be sewn And a glass of water yet to be poured Promise of comfort Nourishing hopes idea That keeps on slimming And leaving the baby Forever hungry forever empty Sugar coated futility and shame Grandiosely dressed velvety pretense Naked I wish to be This moment is alive Pulsating energy Sweeping you off you feet and driving Each heartbeat further Deeper with tinkling Cocktail of discomfort and Purpose with a dollop of euphoria Alive I wish to be Simply complex, primitively dark Painfully loving and unwillingly absent Skinless as I am in my ****** honesty As I am as I was as I will ever be I let go No more hanging on fear There isn't loosing but setting free Giving away of hearts They only grow bigger in the end

By naked nerves This pride was to be hung Out to dry in the sunlight Where life began Outside this god forsaken shell That tv mama sung into This eager child's willing ear Pride was a blanket yet to be sewn And a glass of water yet to be poured Promise of comfort Nourishing hopes idea That keeps on slimming And leaving the baby Forever hungry forever empty Sugar coated futility and shame Grandiosely dressed velvety pretense Naked I wish to be This moment is alive Pulsating energy Sweeping you off you feet and driving Each heartbeat further Deeper with tinkling Cocktail of discomfort and Purpose with a dollop of euphoria Alive I wish to be Simply complex, primitively dark Painfully loving and unwillingly absent Skinless as I am in my ****** honesty As I am as I was as I will ever be I let go No more hanging on fear There isn't loosing but setting free Giving away of hearts They only grow bigger in the end
Something about freedom
