After years of trying to find yourself You found everyone else instead, And found out what kind of people they are, So you took that knowledge And a silver *** And you put the knowledge in the *** And you put the *** on a stove, And you cranked up the heat, And language boiled away, And you cranked up the heat, And eye colour boiled away, And you cranked up the heat, And preference boiled away, And after 9 days of tending to the *** – A charred smell hit tired nostrils, Because all that remained in the *** Was the burnt and brown mess which is human nature, And in the metal walls: your own reflection.
